7.5.2 Network Size

The Network Size is programmed in PARAMETER 55 and is only required for Floating
Balances and Consolidated report. Note that the register number must be sequential when
you are using the network for floating balances and reporting. When you are only using the
network for sharing printers and computer connection the network size is not required. The
theoretical maximum is set to 24 registers.

7.5.3 Floating Balances

When you want to use the network for floating balances you must SET OPTION 92 and
program the NETWORK SIZE so the register knows to which registers it should sent the
balance information. The registers keep track of which balance is open on which register
and will give ERROR# 44 (BALANCE STILL OPEN) when you try to print or pay a balance
which is still open.

7.5.4 Floating Articles

It is possible to do PLU maintenance and have it sent automatically to all registers in the
network. When you want to use the network for floating articles you must SET OPTION 93
and program the NETWORK SIZE so the register knows to which registers it should sent
the article information. PLU maintenance means changing PLU information or
creating/deleting PLU when using scan codes.

7.5.5 Sharing Printers

It is possible to share printers in the network. All printers (external and internal) in the
network can be shared. When a printer is shared the register will automatically print the
tickets at the END of the transaction because it has to sent a complete ticket to a shared
printer. When you want to use a printer as a shared printer you MUST program the printer
as a network printer in ALL registers which use this printer. In order to activate a printer as
a network printer you must program the register and port to which the printer is connected.
Note the port# 0 means internal printer. The port parameter of the printer programming (all
printers) is RRP where RR is the register# (maximum 24) and P is the port# (0-6).
Example 1:
Internal thermal printer of REGISTER# 2 as a network receipt printer.
PARAMETER 9 value 2 which means thermal internal
PARAMETER 10 as 20 which means register#2 and port# 0.
Note that you must program these values in all registers which use this printer.
