Scrolling Messages

Your cash register shows messages that move across the display when the
register is not in use. You can use the pre-programmed default messages
or you can program your own. You can change one or more messages at
any time. For example, if you have a new promotion, you can change the
Idle 1 message to say something about the promotion. You can also
control the speed at which the scrolling messages display.
