Preset Override
When a PLU is preset, it is possible to override the preset price with a different price. If
the override function is set to be allowed in the PLU program, you can simply enter a new
price and press the PLU key.
Receipt
A receipt is a printed tape given to a customer as a record of the sale transaction.
Received on Account
The Received on Account key is used to track cash received into the cash drawer or to
record loans to the cash drawer.
Register Number
The number of the register can be set and printed on each receipt. If the merchant uses
more than one register, or has more than one location, the register where a transaction took
place or report was taken is easily identified.
Single Item
The transaction is finalized automatically when a single item PLU is registered as the first
item in a sale. Single item status is used to speed transaction entry when an item is
normally sold in a one-item sale, for example, a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper or an
admission ticket.
Split Pricing
Often merchants price items in multiples, for example 3 for $1. The register will compute
the price of items when the exact quantity is not purchased. If the customer chooses to
buy 2 items at 3 for $1, enter 2, press the X/TIME key, enter 3, press the X/TIME key and
then enter the price and the PLU. The register will compute the price for the items
purchased.
Stock (PLU Stock)
Each PLU reports an activity counter. Normally the activity counter increments (adds)
and is reset when a PLU Z-report is taken. You can choose to use the PLU activity
counter as a stock counter. If used as a stock counter, each PLU activity will reduce the
count. A separate program allows you to add to the stock count or enter a new stock count.
Stock counts are not reset when PLU Z-reports are taken.
Surcharge (Item)
An item percent surcharge adds a percentage to the price of an item. This addition nets
the PLU total.
Surcharge (Sale)
A sale percent surcharge adds a percentage to the entire sale.
Tax Computation by Rate/Tax Computation by Table
In the simplest method of tax calculation, the register is set with a tax rate (or rates) and the
taxes are computed by a percentage calculation. In some cases, a tax that is entered as a
percentage does not follow exactly the tax charts that apply in your area (even if the tax
