ERROR CONDITIONS

__________________________________________________________________

THE ERROR ALARM SYSTEM

The error alarm system warns of an operator error (usually pressing the wrong key for a specific type of entry) or an error when
setting a program option. When the error beep tone sounds, an "E" appears in the display and the keypad locks. An error tone
will also occur if the user tries to use a cash register function that has not been programmed yet.
To clear the "E" error, simply press the [C] Clear key.
NOTE: After starting a transaction, moving the Control Switch from "R1" or "R2" to another position before
completing a transaction will result in an error condition to remind you to finish and total the transaction.

Clearing an Error:

1. Press the [C] Clear key. The tone ends, the display clears and the keypad unlocks.
2. Determine what error was made.
3. Correct the error, continue with the transaction, finish the transaction or restart the program.
NOTE: The [C] Clear key also clears an incorrect entry from the display prior to pressing a registration key. Once an entry is
printed, the [void] key must be used to correct an error.

VOIDING ERRORS

Once an entry is printed on the tape, the [C] Clear key cannot be used to correct the transaction or entry. Use the [void] key to
correct an error just registered.

1. Voiding the Entry Just Completed:

If an incorrect entry has been made AND the transaction has not yet been completed (the [subtotal] or [amount
tend/TOTAL] keys have NOT been pressed), simply press the [void] key to reverse the last entry BEFORE continuing with
any other entries. The entry is reprinted with a "VD" symbol following the amount and reversed or subtracted from the
transaction.

2. Voiding an Earlier Entry:

To void an earlier entry in a previous transaction:
1. Complete and total the transaction, which includes the erroneous entry.
2. Start a new void transaction that will off-set the original transaction.
3. Press the [void] key.
4. Re-type the incorrect information for the first item, exactly as originally entered (with the incorrect price or other error).
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 for each item in the original transaction.
6. Total the transaction by pressing the [amount tend/TOTAL] key.
7. Then, you can start a new sale with the correct price or correct other information.
