Sharp UP-3500 instruction manual Individual clerk file system

1) When the clerk signs on at a machine other than the one used in his or her previous operation:

In this case, the overlapped clerk data is sent from the master to the satellite (transfer of overlapped clerk data).

2) When the clerk signs on at the same satellite as the one used in his or her previous operation:

In this case, no data transfer occurs between the master and the satellite but the data stored in the save file of the satellite is called back. This permits quicker data look-up than above in 1).

In both cases, the overlapped clerk data is saved in the	Master
master's overlapped clerk file as well as the satellite's
overlapped clerk data save file upon sign-off operation.

Whether the centralized clerk file system is used with or without an overlapped clerk save file, the master's overlapped clerk file can be accessed from any machine in the IRC system.

NOTE	• For selecting whether your system should have the overlapped clerk function or not, and whether
	it should have overlapped clerk save files or not, consult your authorized SHARP dealer.

•To use the overlapped clerk function in the IRC system, the overlapped clerk function must be enabled for all the master and satellite machines.

(2)Individual clerk file system

In this system, each clerk file is under the control of a satellite and you have to do programming for clerks at each satellite. Even if a programmed clerk signs on at a satellite, a communication with the master will not begin.

The overlapped clerk file in a satellite can only be accessed by the satellite itself. The data in the clerk files at all satellites will be collected by the master each time a consolidated report is issued.
