Sam4s SPS-320 - Hard Check

74 • Operations Sam4s SPS-300 OP Manual v1.35
Function Keys
Although none of the functions necessary for check tracking operations appear on the default
keyboard, any or all the following functions can be located on the keyboard:
CHECK #
The CHECK # key is used to begin a new, or access an existing balance
(hard check) or itemized bill (soft check.)
Check track numbers that are entered manually may be set at a fixed
length of one to nine digits. Check track numbers assigned automatically
will begin with #1.
Existing checks are accessed by entering the check track number and
pressing the CHECK# key. In a drive thru system, simply pressing the
PBAL key will recall the oldest open balance (lowest check track #).
GUEST
Use to enter the count of guests served as part of a guest check. The entry
of a guest count can be enforced when opening a guest check, or for all
transactions.
P/BAL
Use to enter the amount of an outstanding balance. The P/BAL key will
take the recall function if the drive thru feature is enabled in CHECK # key
programming.
SERVICE
Use to temporarily finalize Previous Balance or check tracking transactions.
(If you are using a hard check system, you must program the SERVICE
key for the port where the slip printer is connected.)
TABLE
You can enforce the entry of a table number for guest check transactions, or
for all transactions. If you are tracking guest check balances, the balance
can be recalled either by entering the check number or the table number.
PRINT CHECK
Use to print a guest check. The check can be printed on an optional (RS-
232C) printer, or can be printed on the receipt printer. The PRINT
CHECK key can be set to automatically service the check.
TIP
The TIP key allows a gratuity to be added to a guest check before
payment.
The TIP key may be programmed as either a percentage or amount. If
programmed as a percentage, tax programming defines whether the
percentage is calculated on the net (taxable = no) amount, or the amount
after taxes.
See "Function Key Assignment" in the "Service Mode Programming" chapter to place the
functions necessary for your application. See "Function Key Programming" in the "Program
Mode Programming" chapter to set the options for each function.
