Function Keys and Options
Functions necessary for restaurant operations may not appear on the default keyboard. Any or all of
the following functions can be located on the keyboard. See "Function Key Assignment Programming"
on page 81 if it is necessary to locate these keys on your keyboard.
CHECK #
GUEST
P/BAL
SERVICE
TABLE
PRINT CHECK
TIP
ER 5200/5240 Electronic Cash Register
The CHECK # key is used to begin a new, or access an existing balance
(hard check) or itemized bill (soft check.) Existing checks are accessed by
entering the check track number and pressing the CHECK# key. The
Check # key may be set with the following options:

A check must be started before items may be entered.

The clerk that opens the check has exclusive access.

Only one check may be allowed per table.

The check # may be automatically assigned by the register.

Check track numbers that are entered manually may be set at a fixed
length of one to nine digits. Check track numbers assigned
automatically will begin with #1.
In a drive thru system, simply pressing the PBAL key will recall the oldest
open balance (lowest check track #).
Use to enter the count of guests served as part of a guest check. The entry of a
guest count can be enforced when opening a guest check, or for all
transactions.
Use to enter the amount of an outstanding balance. The P/BAL key will take
the recall function if the drive thru feature is enabled in CHECK # key
programming.
Use to temporarily finalize Previous Balance or check tracking transactions.
(If you are using a hard check system, you must program the SERVICE key
for the port where the slip printer is connected.)
You can enforce the entry of a table number for guest check transactions, or
for all transactions. If you are tracking guest check balances, the balance can
be recalled either by entering the check number or the table number.
Use to print a soft check. The check can be printed on an optional (RS-232C)
printer, or can be printed on the receipt printer. The PRINT CHECK key can
be set to automatically service the check.
The TIP key allows a gratuity to be added to a guest check before payment.
The tip amount is deducted from the Cash-in-Drawer amount for the
Clerk/Cashier closing the guest check.
The TIP key may be programmed as either a percentage or amount. If
programmed as a percentage, tax programming defines whether the
percentage is calculated on the net (taxable = no) amount, or the amount
after taxes.
