Setting the Date and Time
Alpha5000ML owner's manual
At the prompt, you can select English, Spanish, or French. Changing the language
changes the factory programmed words you and the customer see on the displays.
However, changing the language does not translate any words you program in the
cash register, such as PLU descriptions, header information, and so on.
Note
If you start programming the cash register and then change the language
midway, you will lose all of your previous programming.
To set the language
1 When you first turn the register on, you are prompted through all setup options.
Setting the language is the first option.
2 Select the language you want and press the enter key. The language your cash
register shows on the operator display is set.
The date changes every day and prints in the month-day-year format. You can
prevent the date from printing on the transaction receipts. The Date Format can also
be changed to print day-month-year/ year-month-day. For more information, see Date
Format on page41.
The time can print in either the 12 or 24 hour (military time) format. The default
setting is to print in the 24 hour format, which is normally used. To change to the 12
hour format, see Time Format on page41. You can set the cash register so that it does
not print the time on receipts. For more information, see Print Parameters on page38.
