Descriptor Programming Methods
Descriptors can be programmed for PLU’s, function keys, groups, clerks and the logo/messages. Two
methods are available to program descriptors, the Program Overlay Method and the Descriptor Code
Method. This chapter describes both methods. Refer to each program area for specific steps for
programming PLU’s, groups, function keys, etc.
Descriptor Overlay Method (SMS mode)
This method is the default descriptor program method. When the descriptor field is selected on the
program screen, press the appropriate keys to enter a descriptor:
 Each of the fifteen PLU keys on the keyboard has descriptor characters printed in
subscript. For example: PLU 9 is ABC. Press a key once to select the first character,
press it again to select the second character, and again to select the third. When the
character you desire is displayed, press the ERROR CORRECT/SKIP key to finish
your character selection and select the next character.
 Press a numeric key (1 – 9, 0, 00 or decimal) to enter a numeral in the descriptor
field.
