Text Entry Descriptor Program Method - Sam4s ER-180T Series Operator's And Programming Manual

Text Entry Descriptor Program Method

1. Turn the key lock to the P position.
2. Refer to the chart on the next page. Enter the address "Y" to determine the type of
descriptor you are programming (i.e. Department, PLU, Function, etc.) For example
press "1" to program a department.
3. Again referring to the chart, enter the number "XXXX" that determines the specific
department, PLU, function, etc. that you wish to program. For example, press "0012" to
program department #12.
4. Enter the text by pressing a text key one or more times to select the desired character or
symbol. Wait 2-seconds before entering the next character. The display will count the
number of characters you have entered. Always wait until you see the display counter
increment before entering the next character. For example:

5. After you have completed your descriptor entry, press the SUBTOTAL key.
6. If you wish to enter additional descriptors, continue from step 2 above. When you are
completed, press the CASH/TEND key to end the program.
