PLU'S WITH SCANCODES ON KEYBOARD
When using scan codes it is also possible to put a PLU directly on the keyboard of the
register. Because the key code as programmed in the key table contains the record
number in the PLU Index file and not the scan code there are a few points you must keep
in mind.
1 – PLU File Maintenance
Maintenance of the PLU file like creating and/or deleting PLU's should be done
either on the computer OR on the register but NOT ON BOTH because this will
result in different Index files for the computer and register.
2 – Programming PLU keys in WQPROG
When programming PLU keys in WQPROG you must enter the scan code in the
code field.
3 – Programming PLU keys on the Register
When programming PLU keys on the register you must enter the scan code in the
key-programming mode. The register will automatically insert the correct index
record number in the key table. The register will recognize the entry as a scan code
when MORE then 5 digits are entered. Normal key codes have a value of maximal 5
digits. This means that when you want the program a PLU with scan code "123" you
MUST enter "000123". Suppose this PLU is located at record number 5 the register
will put 10005 as key code which is also shown on the display. When you enter
"123" the register will program key code "123".
USING PLU'S WITH SCANCODES IN COMBINATION WITH BALANCES
On the Balance the Index Number of the PLU is stored so at the moment it is NOT
ALLOWED to create or delete PLU when there are still balances open because the
sequence of the index file will be changed which will result in wrong PLU on invoices.

7.5 Programming Network Features

7.5.1 Activating the Network

The network is activated by programming the REGISTER# in PARAMETER 53 and the
NETWORK PORT in PARAMETER 89. There are two types of network possible:
RS-232 NETWORK
When you want to connect only 2 registers in a network you can also use a RS-232
network using the standard RS-232 ports in your register. The NETWORK PORT for RS-
232 can be any port except PORT# 6 which is fixed for the RS-485 network. The
maximum BAUDRATE for PORT# 1 & 2 is 57600 (PARAMETER 2 or 3, value 6) and the
maximum BAUDRATE for PORT# 3, 4 or 5 is 78125 (PARAMETER 4 or 5 or 6, value 7). It
is advised to use the highest possible baud rate.
RS-485 NETWORK
When you want to connect more then 2 registers in a network you MUST use a RS-485
network which means you also need an RS-485 card installed in your register. The
NETWORK PORT for RS-485 is fixed to PORT# 6 and the maximum BAUDRATE is
78125 (PARAMETER 7, value 7). Other possible baud rates are 52083 (value 6), 38400
(value 5), 19200 (value 4). It is advised to use the highest possible baud rate.
