Memory Allocation; Memory Capacity - Sam4s ER-920 Operator's And Programming Manual

Memory Allocation

The memory allocation program determines how memory is divided to support the following
features:
Important Memory Allocation Notes
1. Memory variable maximums are theoretical. For example, if all other variables are at or
near zero, then 4000 PLUs are possible. Note check memory, especially soft check
memory, and clerk memory consume considerable memory.
2. Using the clerk interrupt feature requires allocation of at least one guest check for each
clerk and sufficient soft check lines to support the interrupted transaction (i.e. if 20 soft
check lines are allocated, a transaction with up to 20 lines can be interrupted.) See
system option flag # 26 to select clerk interrupt operations instead of table management
(check tracking) operations.
3. All models default to 1000 lines of electronic journal. For models with journal printers,
you may wish to set electronic journal to "0" so that memory may be used for other
options.

Memory Capacity

Maximum memory of 4 mb is standard. No additional expansion is available.
98 • S-Mode Programming
1. PLUs - you must allocate a minimum of 300 PLUs, a maximum of
approximately 4000 is determined by available memory.
2. Clerks – you must allocate at least 1 clerk, with a maximum of 99. (Note you
also must allocate at least one guest check for each clerk.)
3. Groups – you must allocate at least 1 group, with a maximum of 99.
4. Guest Checks – you can allocate a maximum of approximately 200 hard or soft
checks
5. Soft Check Lines – you can allocate a maximum of 100 lines per check
6. Check Type – select hard or soft checks
7. Levels – allocate one or two price levels.
8. Mix & Match Discount Tables – default is 10 you can allocate a maximum of
100.
9. Electronic Journal – Default is 1000 lines; maximum is 1000 lines.
