Security System And Error Conditions - Royal Alpha 9180sc Instruction Manual

SECURITY SYSTEM and ERROR CONDITIONS

SEVEN-WAY SECURITY SYSTEM:
incorporates the following:
• A Control Lock that cannot be activated without the Register or Program key. The Register key accesses the
"OFF" mode and "REG1" and "REG2" modes only, thus limiting access to other modes to individuals who are
authorized to use the Manager key.
• A Journal/Receipt Compartment that can be locked to prevent journal tampering and unauthorized receipt
manipulations.
• A securely locked cash drawer.
• High digit lockout option which inhibits excessively high register over rings.
• Availability of 30 clerk numbers to monitor access and sales of individual operators. Clerk names print on both
receipt and journal tapes.
• 2-way Password system to prevent unauthorized programming or printing of management reports.
password can be programmed to limit access to "PRG" and "Z" positions only and a separate password to
limit access to the "X" position only.
• A broad range of management reports to provide detailed data on virtually all cash register operations
performed on the machine; monitors use of the "No Sale" key, number of voids, refunds, etc.
ERROR CONDITIONS
REGISTER TONE - This cash register emits a brief audible tone that sounds to confirm registration each time a
key is pressed.
ENTRY ERROR ALARM - When using the register, all operations must be performed in the proper sequence. If
an error occurs, the register will sound a continuous tone alarm ("ERROR" appears in the display and the
Keyboard locks). To clear the error/lock condition, the operator simply presses the [CLEAR] key and continues to
operate in the proper sequence. IMPORTANT - When an operation is begun but not completed in the "REG1" or
"REG2" positions, turning the control lock to another position will result in an alarm/error condition. When a
transaction is begun in either the "REG1" or "REG2" position, it must be completed by use of one of the totalizer
keys (i.e., the [AMT TEND/TOTAL] key) before changing the Control Lock to another position.
MAXIMUM ENTRY LOCK-OUT - To prevent the operator from making an entry into the register of an erroneously
high price, the register can be programmed to limit the number of digits that can be entered in the transaction. The
register can be programmed to "Lock-Out" after an entry of one (.09) to seven (99,999.99) digits.
CLEAR KEY [CLEAR] - As described above, the Clear [CLEAR] key will erase an alarm condition caused by an
operational error (usually pressing a key which was not proper for that operation). The [CLEAR] key will not erase
a transaction which has been registered by an operating key and printed on the register tape. To erase entries
made in error after pressing the Department key or any other operating key causing the entry to be printed on the
tape, use the Void [VOID] key function to correct the error.
RE-CLERK # - If the clerk system is activated and a transaction is attempted this message will appear on the
display and the error tone sounds. Press [CLEAR] and enter a clerk number followed by the [CLERK/FS SHIFT]
key.
PAPER END - PRINTER ERROR - If an error is displayed, first check if you are out of paper. Second, check for a
paper jam. Follow the directions in the Troubleshooting section of this manual on Page 73.
HALF SYSTEM CLEAR - If an error tone still persists, perform a Half System Clear. For details on a Half System
Clear see Page 74.
FULL SYSTEM CLEAR - If the operator cannot correct an error lock condition, as a last resort a Full System Clear
should be done. For details on the Full System Clear see Page 74.
