Error Correct
An error correct operation voids the last item entered, it must be used within a sale.
Flash ROM
Flash ROM is used by the manufacturer to contain the program that runs the register. Flash ROMs
maintain memory when power is off, allowing the register to be especially stable and reliable. When
the register's program is improved, or updated, the Flash ROM can be updated by a qualified service
technician through a utility in the register.
Gallonage
To simplify gasoline transactions, PLU's can be designated to calculate gallons sold on fuel
purchases. The price of the fuel sold is entered as it would be in a normal "open" PLU. However, the
price per gallon of fuel is entered where the PLU preset price is normally maintained. When fuel is
sold, the register will refer to the programmed price per gallon and calculate the number of gallons
sold. Both the gallons pumped and dollar amount of the gas purchase are conveniently printed on the
customer receipt and sales journal. This provides all the necessary information for a customer that
needs a receipt for gas purchases. The total of gallons sold is also maintained on the appropriate PLU
report, in the place of the PLU item counter. Several gallonage PLU's could be placed on the
keyboard to maintain records for different pumps, or types of fuel. Thus, the dollar and gallon totals
can provide a useful security check against separate pump totals.
Groups (PLU Groups)
Groups are used to organize sets of items. For example: in a restaurant Grill Items, Drinks, and Ice
Cream items might be separated into different groups. Up to 99 group totals are available. Group
reporting is available on the group report.
HALO
The high amount lock-out (HALO) limits the amount allowed to be entered in a PLU, or function key.
HASH
Merchants often sell non-merchandise items, such as lottery tickets, or bottle deposits, that they do
not wish to account for as reportable revenue. HASH PLU's are useful to account for non-revenue
income. They will add to the appropriate totals on the PLU report, they will add to the transaction
totals, and they will be accountable for in drawer totals, but they will not affect the merchants, NET
SALES, GROSS SALES or NON-RESETTABLE GRAND TOTAL. As a system of options
programming, HASH can be defined to not add to the transaction (NON-ADD).
Link (PLU Link)
Use linked PLU's if you wish the registration a PLU to automatically cause the registration of another
PLU (For example: to automatically add a bottle deposit.) Linked PLU's are set with Program 350,
PLU Link programming.
Macro
Macro keys may be programmed to record, and then later perform, up to 50 keystrokes.
For example: a macro key could be set to tender (preset tender) a common currency, such as $5 into
the cash key.
Memory Allocation
Memory allocation is a program that determines how the system memory is divided to provide the
