This function is used to obtain the counters and totals of the individual terminals.

receipt / journal during X collection. But the results of the Z collection are printed out in
the journal during Z collection.
X collection processing is performed as the figure shown below.

2 The objected terminal sends its report data to the consolidation work file of the master
terminal.

are cleared, and then the Z lock of the objected terminal is released.
• When a Z collection is performed, the consolidation data cannot be output. If output of
consolidation data is desired, perform "collection/consolidation" processing described

• Even if an error is occurred, or if the processing is terminated, the data to be collected
remains as they are, and Z lock statuses are automatically released.
