on the default keyboard. See “Function Key Assignment” on page 95 to add or change
programmable keys.
Function key Description
#/NS Use as a non-add key to print a numeric entry (up to 8-digits) on the receipt
and journal. This entry will not add to any sales totals. The #/NS key is
also used to open the cash drawer without making a sale.
X/TIME Use to multiply a quantity of items or calculate split pricing on PLU entries.
00,
0-9,
DECIMAL
Use to make numeric entries in REG, X, Z, VOID, or P positions. The
decimal key is used for decimal or scale multiplication, when setting or
entering fractional percentage discounts, or when programming fractional tax
rates. Do not use the decimal key when making amount entries into PLUs.
ADD CHECK Use to combine individual trays (such as in a cafeteria situation). Each tray
subtotal can advance the consecutive number, depending on programming.
CANCEL Cancels a transaction without updating PLU, or function key totals. The
Cancel function may only be used prior to tendering. Once tendering
begins, the Cancel function may no longer be used. The CANCEL key
corrects the appropriate totals and counters and the Financial report records
total of transactions canceled.
CASH Use to finalize cash sales. Calculates the sale total including tax and opens
the cash drawer. Change computation is allowed by entering an amount
before pressing the CASH key. The cash drawer will open only if the
amount tendered is equal to or greater than the total amount of the sale. Post
tendering is also available should a second change calculation be necessary.
Re-enter the tendered amount and press the CASH key to show the new
change computation.
Press the CASH key a second time to issue a buffered receipt when the
receipt on/off function is OFF.
CHECK
CASHING Use to exchange a check for cash. Cash-in-drawer and check-in-drawer totals
are adjusted.

programmable message up to 10 lines can also be printed.

the sale, and opens the cash drawer. Change computation is allowed by
entering an amount before pressing the CHECK key. The cash drawer will
open only if the amount tendered is equal to or greater than the total amount
of the sale. Change issued will be subtracted from the cash-in-drawer total.
