Modifier Key Programming Example
Selling soft drinks in different sizes is an excellent modifier application. For example, a
restaurant sells Coke, Sprite and Root Beer in 3-sizes: small, medium & large.
If the PLU number assignment is:
PLU #1 = Coke
PLU #2 = Sprite
PLU #3 = Root Beer
You may choose to modify the 4
th
digit of the PLU number with the digit 1 for small, 2 for
medium and 3 for large. (Always count right-to-left to determine the PLU digit#.)
When the 4
th
digit is modified to a value of 1, and the Small modifier key is pressed before
the Root Beer key, the registration of PLU #1003 results.
PLU digit 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
0 0 0 0 1 0 0 3 New PLU #
