Sharp UP-3500 instruction manual PLU/EAN data control, Stored in its T-LOG buffer

12. PLU/EAN data control

In the IRC system, the following two systems for PLU/EAN data control are available: a centralized system and an individual system.

In choosing the type of PLU/EAN data control system, please consult your authorized SHARP dealer.

Centralized system

PLU/EAN sales data is centrally controlled by the master. PLU/EAN sales data which is temporarily stored in the T-LOG buffer of a satellite is sent to the master by T-LOG polling.

Individual system

The master and satellites control their own PLU/EAN sales data. PLU/EAN sales reports can be individually generated at each machine. Consolidation of PLU/EAN sales data can be achieved by generating the consolidated PLU/EAN report at the master.

NOTE	The learning function enables the operator at a satellite to set the unit price, associated
	department and auto-deletion/non-deletion choice for an item whose code is undefined in the
	PLU/EAN file, and to register the transaction. (For further information on the learning function,
	see the UP-3500 Instruction Manual.)
	If the satellite has no dynamic EAN file, the data on the EAN item which has been set using the
	learning function is stored in the PLU/EAN main file to update the file.
	If the satellite has a dynamic EAN file, the data is stored in the dynamic EAN file to update the file.
	The data which has been set using the learning function in the training mode at a satellite is also
	stored in its T-LOG buffer.

For the data flow, see the following figures.

(1) In case that the master and satellites have no dynamic EAN files:
