PLU Descriptor
If you are using PLUs, only the PLU code will print unless you choose to program a custom
descriptor.
For example, the receipt will look like this:
PLU1 T1 $2.99
PLU23 T1 $1.99
If you wish you can program each PLU with a custom descriptor, up to 18 characters in length. For
example, you could program your own descriptors like this:
CIGARETTE T1 $2.99
APPLES T1 $1.99
