correct features for your application. For example: you may require more or fewer clerks, or PLU's
in memory, or electronic journal memory. Memory allocation allows you to maximize the features
you need while minimizing the features you do not need.
Mix & Match
Retailers often offer discounts when multiples of different items are purchased. For example: the
offer: "save $5 on any three bottles of wine" can be handled by a mix and match discount. The
default ER-260EJ/ER-265EJ can accommodate up to 10 different mix and match discounts, the total
can be increased to a maximum of 100 through memory allocation.
Multiple Receipts
In some cases, for example: where a mail-in rebate is offered, an extra copy of a receipt is needed. If
allowed, the receipt must be re-printed immediately, before another transaction is started.
Negative PLU's
As you program PLU's, you will find a setting to make them negative (normally they are positive).
Positive PLU's are used for items that add to the sale. Negative PLU's are used for items that subtract
from a sale, like individual store coupons or bottle deposit credits.
NLU
Number Look-Up (NLU) refers to PLU code that is accessed when a Keyboard PLU is used. In the
default program, each Keyboard PLU will look up the appropriate numeric PLU, beginning with PLU
#1 for Keyboard PLU key #1 and continuing sequentially through the keyboard.
However, this numbering sequence may be impractical for some applications. For example:
Keyboard PLU #1 may represent a can of Diet Pepsi. The merchant may wish to have the Keyboard
PLU look up the UPC code number for Diet Pepsi, which is "120500". Using this program, you can
change the Number Look-Up (NLU) for the keyboard PLU to any 14-digit number you choose.
No Sale
No sale is an operation to simply open the cash drawer. No sales are counted and reported on the
financial report.
Not Found PLU
For small merchants, the ER-260EJ/ER-265EJ can build a PLU file "on the fly". Each time an item is
scanned (or entered by PLU number) that is not in the PLU file, the operator is prompted to enter the
price and other options for the item. At the end of the day, the "Not Found PLU Report" will allow
the manager to verify the prices and update the PLU file as needed.
Open (PLU)
Open PLU's accept price entries, rather than register a preset price. To prevent errors, you may set a
high limit (HALO) for open entries.
Override
Override is an operation used to bypass a programmed price or entry limit (HALO).
Over-Tendering/Under-Tendering
When a payment is made less than the amount due, it is called an under-tender. After an under-tender,
the register calculates and displays the remaining balance for the sale. Additional payments must be
made until the total due is satisfied. When the sale is fully paid, the cash drawer will then open and
