Miscellaneous Programming

Macros are special function keys that are used to execute a sequence of key depressions. For
example, a macro might be used to execute a string of reports or to automatically tender a
preset amount. Up to ten different macros may be placed on the keyboard. (See "Function
Key Assignment Programming" to place macros on the keyboard.)
