Programming PLU Descriptions

TS1200MW User's Guide
The Price-Look Up system allows for fast, accurate entry of an item and
automatically records the number of items sold. If you want to use the
optional barcode reader, you can scan UPC codes to ring up items.
To scan barcodes, they must be numeric only, 14 digits or less, and must
be one of the following barcode types and standards:
• UPC-A
• EAN-8
Note
This cash register cannot generate barcodes for you. To generate and print
barcodes, purchase barcode software.
Each PLU must be programmed with up to a 12 character description that
appears on the display and prints on the tape. You can have up to 10,000
PLU items programmed. Each PLU is linked to a specific department and
has the characteristics of that department.
Programming PLUs consists of the following:
1 Programming departments you want to use.
2 Assign a PLU number (from 1 to a maximum of 13 digits long) to each
sales item or scan the barcode.
3 Enter a name description for the PLU. You must enter a description,

4 Assign a price. You can specify up to 3 prices, if you want to use the

on the time of day.
For example, in Retail mode, you can specify that certain books are a
different price from 6 P.M. to 8 P.M. If you are using Restaurant mode,
you can specify that certain entrees are a different price during lunch
time.
For more information about Happy Hour pricing, see Happy Hour
Settings on page 46.

that PLU.

key which is set up for tax. If PLU #2 is not a taxable item, you can link
it to a Department key which is programmed for no tax.
