Error Condition
An error condition signals that mis-operation has occurred. It is identified by an audible
tone and an error descriptor appearing on the display.
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.
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 PLUs 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 PLUs if you wish the registration a PLU to automatically cause the registration
of another PLU (for example to automatically add a bottle deposit.) Linked PLUs 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 correct features for your application. For example, you may require more or
less clerk memory, PLUs, or electronic journal memory. Memory allocation allows you to
maximize the features you need while minimizing the features you do not need.
