Receipt Header; Percent Discount (-%) - Olivetti ECR 5500 Instructions Manual

Receipt Header

Your cash register is programmed to print a courtesy header enclosed in
a box delimited by asteriscs, on all customer receipts when the control
switch is in the R2 position. With the control switch in the R1, X, Z and
PRG positions, the header will not be printed.
NOTE: You can change the programmed language in which the cash
register prints the header on the customer receipt and journal
record. Turn to the section Programming System Options,
Machine Condition 11, to see in which languages the cash register
can print the receipt header.
The receipt header can consist of up to 4 lines of 24 characters each.
You can change the cash register's default header according to your own
business needs by using the Character Code Table provided in the
Appendix to enter the characters for your new header.
Personalizing the Receipt Header
Proceed as follows to change the default receipt header:
1. Slide the control switch to the PRG position.
2. Switch the cash register to the receipt header definition mode by
pressing the [#/NS] key repeatedly until displaying the message "H01"
indicating the first line of the receipt header.
3. Select the receipt header line that you wish to personalize by pressing
the [Department 1/9] key repeatedly until displaying the desired line
number on the left-hand side of the operator display. Remember that a
total of four header lines can be personalized. You can scroll backward
through the receipt header lines by pressing the [Department 5/13]
key repeatedly.
4. Using the Character Code Table in the Appendix, type the character
code string for the letters to be entered on this particular line selected.
Remember that up to 24 characters can be entered. If you wish to
center a writing, you will need to calculate the empty character spaces
before and after your string and type the appropriate blank space code
(00) in the corresponding places.
5. Press the [Check] key again to store the newly defined header line.
This new line is automatically printed.
6. Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 if you wish to program the remaining three
programmable header lines.
7. Exit from this programming sequence by pressing the
[Amt Tend/TOTAL] key.
Example: Change the third line of the default header to *PLEASE
COME AGAIN* with the appropriate spaces before and after to center
this new string using the Character Code Table provided in the Appendix.
