Keyboard Legend Description
TIP
(Exclude ER-230)
The TIP key allows a gratuity to be added to a guest check before payment. The tip
amount is deducted from the Cash-in-Drawer amount for the Clerk/Cashier closing
the guest check.
The TIP key may be programmed as either a percentage or amount. If programmed
as a percentage, tax programming defines whether the percentage is calculated on
the net amount, or the amount after taxes.
VOID
Use to correct an item entered earlier within a sale. The VOID key corrects the
appropriate totals and counters. To correct the last item, use the ERROR CORR key.
For void operations outside of a sale (Transaction Void), use the VOID position on the
control lock. The Financial report records totals for each type of void separately.
VALID
Press the VALID key to print a one-line validation on a separate form or piece of paper.
Any item registration, discount or payment may be validated.
WASTE
The WASTE key allows control of inventory by accounting for items that must be
removed from stock due to spoilage, breakage or mistakes. Press the WASTE key
before entering wasted items, and then press the WASTE key again to finalize. The
WASTE key may be under manager control, requiring the control lock to be in the X
position. The WASTE key is not allowed within a sale.
% (1 - 5)
Up to five % keys may be placed on the keyboard. Each % key is set with a specific
function, such as item discount or surcharge, or sale discount or surcharge.
The percent rate may be entered or preprogrammed, or the percent keys can be
programmed with a negative open or preset price, thus acting as coupon keys.
A percentage key may also be set up to accept charge tip entries.
