Reports REPORT MODES There are two modes for printing reports: “X” mode and “Z” mode. An „X“ mode report is printed without clearing the contents of the memory. It is used for generating an overview of sales during the day, when switching cashiers and the like. An „X“ mode report may be printed out at different times during the day.
Reports Monthly financial X-report A monthly (periodic) X-report collects financial data from the daily (overall) Z-reports accumulated over a ti- me period. This report allows the printing out of financial data accumulated from the last monthly (periodic) Z-report. Does not clear the register memory. Daily turnover This is a simple, fast report which shows the current daily turnover on the cash register display.
Reports After printing, the contents of the memory in a daily (overall) Z-report are added to the contents of the monthly (periodic) report and then zeroed out. According to applicable Slovak legislation a daily (overall) Z-report must be printed out at the end of each day. Monthly financial Z-report A monthly (periodic) Z-report gathers information from daily (overall) Z-reports over a longer time period.
