Exception String - AVE RegCom-Pro Operation Manual

4. PROGRAMMING
OUTPUT
Choices: ON, OFF
The OUTPUT controls the RS-232 data from the RegCom-Pro. Typically this is sent to a remote Serial Printer to provide
a hard copy of Exceptions with time and date on it. This data can also be sent out to a computer with appropriate
software and give you the ability to analyze data. You could also use an auto answer modem and have the data sent to
a central office or even to your home. The serial devices must have the same Baud Rate, Parity, and Data Bits as the
RegCom-Pro for optimum performance of data transfer.
To make your selection, Select "EXCEPTION REPORT" Tab and select SET EXCEPTION section and then select ON
or OFF in OUTPUT drop-down menu.
HISTORY BUFFER
Choices: ON, OFF
The history buffer stores all the exceptions that are occur in the RegCom-Pro. Sometimes this can be very large and
consume a large portion of the memory of the RegCom-Pro. This can be used to automatically search a compatible
DVR, upload to a PC to save or print out to remote monitor. This setting allows the user to enable or disable this
feature as to conserve memory allocation for other features.
PROGRAMMING NOTE
The following sections defines the Exceptions Strings, the Operator and the Range. The
Exception String is programmed first, then Range is defined and finally the Operator is
selected. The RegCom-Pro looks at the Exceptions String first, and if there is data that
matches, it then checks to see if a Range has been defined.

EXCEPTION STRING

The RegCom-Pro compares the data that is printed to remote monitor to the data entered in the Exception String. The
Exception String can also be used without a defined range. Example of this would be to assign a word " VOID" as an
exception. RegCom-Pro will look for that string so range definition is not necessary. However, exception string " VOID"
could be further defined by assigning a Range, i.e. all "VOID" over $20.
You can also define a global exception to flag all negative transactions. An example of this using the Samsung ER-
4715 would be the following exception to flag any transaction that contains a "-", or negative sign. For example, in the
Samaung ER-4715 register an assigned Exception string "..-" will flag all Void, Refund, Merchandise Return and
Paid out to the monitor.
You can also use wild card symbol ".", a centered dot on any data location. An example of this would be instead of
assigning eight different exception strings for dept 00 to dept 07, you can assign only one exception string e.g. "dept
.".". That wild card exception string will handle exceptions for all eight departments.
To program the exception string, Select "EXCEPTION REPORT" Tab and select EXCEPTION STRING section. Click on
SET EXCEPTION STRING button, EXCEPTION STRING SETUP will appear then program exception string that you
desire in the blank and then click on SET button.If exception sting not correct, click on SET EXCEPTION STRING button
EXCEPTION STRING SETUP will appear again then click on CLEAR button and then program correct exception string in
the blank.
