HANDSHAKE

Choices: ON, OFF
Handshaking is an electrical signal that tells the cash register or computer that the VSI-Pro is ready to receive data.
It may not be necessary and/or need not be connected to an outgoing signal from the cash register or computer
since the VSI-Pro does not require handshaking. The VSI-Pro handshaking signal is always true signally the cash
register or computer to send data.
Handshaking guarantees that the internal buffer is not over run or text is not lost. Most AVE interfaces do not
support this function. Also since the VSI-Pro has a 20K buffer this feature is generally not required.
Press the "Up" or "Down" button to move the cursor to "HANDSHAKE" and press "Set". The cursor will start flashing.

5.7 EXCEPTION REPORTS
EXCEPTION REPORT OVERVIEW
The Exception Report gives you the option to assign an on-screen flag, trigger an alarming device, or send data to
another serial device on any questionable transaction that you have preprogrammed into the VSI-Pro. The VSI-Pro
will allow programming of up to 24 separate exceptions. These exceptions can be VOIDS, REFUNDS, COUPONS,
PAID OUT, RETURNS, individual departments, specific items, or any transaction that you determine (by programming)
to be "exceptional" or questionable.
You may even set ranges for the exceptions. For example, all transactions over $100, between $8.00 and $25.00, or
lower than $10 and greater than $25.00, all transactions by a specific cashier, or whatever transactions you need to
watch exceptionally close.
