Chapter 8: Running Reports
To prevent someone from accidently printing these reports, a manager
password can be set. After the password is set, these reports do not print
until the password is entered. For information about setting manager
passwords, see Setting X and Manager Passwords on page 28.
Besides passwords, the keys that came with your cash register are also a
form of security. We recommend giving clerks the REG keys and giving
managers the Z and PRG keys.
For additional security, only the Z and PRG keys can run Z reports. The
REG key cannot run Z reports. This means that people with REG keys
cannot run or clear the transaction history.
