SPLIT CHECK
249
The Split Check function provides another method of breaking
down checks for payment. Note that this method works best when
check numbers are not automatically assigned. Many
programmers/installers will use the table number as the check
number, and in this situation the feature works quite well.
Place a “Split Check” key on the screen. Recall a check (table).
Select the item you wish to place on a new check by touching the
item on the display, then touching [Split Check]. Note that an
asterisk (*) now displays next to the item. Continue to mark
additional items to be assigned to a different check as necessary.
Touch [Store Check]. The prompt will ask you to enter the number
of the check you wish the designated items to be assigned to. Enter
the check (table) number and touch OK. The original check with be
stored automatically and the new check with the split items is open
for storing or payment.
If you wish to use the split check feature in applications where
checks are automatically assigned, you must first open and store a
new check. Make note of the check number. Then open the check
from which you wish to split items from. Identify the items using
the [Split Check] key as described above. Then when prompted to
enter the number of the check where the selected items are to be
assigned, enter the number of the new check you previously created.
ALPHA TEXT
250
Use to type a name or message that will be associated with a soft
check. Touch the ALPHA TEXT key anytime after a check has
been opened, then type a message (up to 15 characters) using the
alpha keyboard overlay and touch OK. Multiple message lines can
be entered. The message is saved and printed/displayed with the
order. A system option controls whether the message is printed on
the guest check.
NEW CHECK1-4
251-
254
The standard recall check key allows a check to be opened if it does
not already exist. This is excellent in hospitality tracking, however
for account management credit may not so readily be given.
Therefore when this button is programmed accounts are not opened
automatically. A warning will indicate an account does not exist if
an attempt is made to open using the recall check key. The new
check button is used to open new accounts. The programmability
for this key is automatically picked up from the status of the Recall
check key.
PRICE CHANGE
256
This allows the pre-programmed price of an item to be changed.
There are optionally programmed restrictions.

When pressed (in REG Mode) a list of EFT functions display:
Open Batch, Close Current Batch, Close Batch with Debit, Gratuity
Entry, Get Gift Card Balance. See Authority Level Programming
to restrict access to open/close batch functions. Note: available on
software v2.00g or later.
