Cash Register Programming and Features

Programs and transaction information for management re- ports are stored in the memory of the cash register which is protected by back-up batteries.

Before beginning to program the cash register or to perform sales transactions, insert the batteries to save this information if a power failure occurs or if you unplug the cash register from the power outlet.
