Clerk Operations
The number of clerks available is determined by memory allocation. See "Memory
Allocation" in the "Service Mode Programming" chapter.
You can choose a push button or code entry clerk system:
You can also select stay down or pop-up mode for clerk operation:

The simplest clerk system is the push button system. This is also the default
system; the register will operate this way unless it is programmed otherwise.
You simply press the CLERK # key to sign on or sign off the clerk. You
can operate only one clerk per register when you choose this method.
You can provide maximum security in a multiple clerk system with the code
entry system. Enter the clerk secret code, then press the CLERK # key to
sign on the register.
You can sign off a clerk by entering 0, then pressing the CLERK # key.
Stay down means that once a clerk is signed on, the same clerk will remain
signed on until the clerk signs off. A stay down clerk system might be used
when only one operator uses the register at a time, and a different operator
begins when a work shift is changed.
Pop-up means that the clerk is automatically signed off an the end of each
transaction. Therefore, to begin a transaction, you must first sign a clerk on.
A pop-up clerk system might be used in a department store, where several
clerks might use the register during the same shift and clerk sales information
is required.
