GUEST CHECK OPERATIONS

Overview

The SAM4S SPS-500 can employ a manual previous balance, hard check, or soft check system.
If manual previous balance is selected, the check balance is not saved in memory and is input manually by the
operator (use the manual previous balance key).
If a hard check system is selected, only the previous balance is maintained in memory.
If a soft check system is selected, the check detail is kept in memory until the check is paid. (After a check is paid,
check detail is available only through the PAID RECALL function, if it is implemented, or the closed check file, if it is
implemented.)
For hard or soft check operations, the following tracking options are available:
1. Tracking by manually entering the check number. (The number of digits in the check number may be set from 0-
10, with zero meaning no fixed length.) Table number entry may be required.
2. Tracking by automatically assigning a check number. Starting check numbers can be set for each register in the
system.
3. Tracking by Table Number, where a check number is also assigned. Multiple checks may be assigned at the
same table.
In cases 1 & 3 above both a check # and a table # are connected to a balance. The balance can be recalled either
by the check number, or by the table number. (If there are multiple checks at the same table, an attempt to recall by
table number will result in a screen listing the open checks at the table. The operator may then select one of the
checks to open.)
