3-6-2-1. X collection/consolidation processing
Satellite
Terminal
R-124
This function is used to obtain the counters and totals of the individual terminals
(collection) and of all objected terminals in the store (consolidation) by one procedure.
After printing collection report on the master's receipt / journal printer, the master prints
the consolidation report. Regardless whether they are in the process of registration, the
satellite terminals are send data and do not print out the reports, when X collection /
consolidation is performed. But, during the Z collection / consolidation, satellites are
locked from registrations.
After consolidating data from all objected terminals, the master prints the details on the
receipt / journal printer.
X collection/consolidation processing is performed as the figure shown below.
