ER-5200M/5240M Electronic Cash Register S-Mode Programming • 81
Memory Allocation
The memory allocation program determines how memory is divided to support the following features:
• PLUs - you must allocate a minimum of 117 PLUs, the maximum is determined by
available memory.
• Clerks – you must allocate at least 1 clerk, with a maximum of 99.
• Groups – you must allocate at least 1 group, with a maximum of 99.
• Guest Checks – you can allocate a maximum of 500 hard or soft checks
• Soft Check Lines – you can allocate a maximum of 50 lines per check
• Check Type – select hard or soft checks
• Mix & Match Discount Tables – you can allocate a maximum of 99
NOTE: Using the clerk interrupt feature requires allocation of at least one guest check for each clerk
and sufficient soft check lines to support the interrupted transaction (i.e. if 20 soft check lines are
allocated, a transaction with up to 20 lines can be interrupted.) See system option flag # 26 to select
clerk interrupt operations instead of table management (check tracking) operations.
