Setting Alphanumeric Descriptions
The Clerk Display
When ringing up sales, you see the department number or PLU number on the clerk display.
For information about all the messages that can appear on the display and how to open and close the display, see Opening and Closing the Customer Display on page 10.
Setting Alphanumeric Descriptions
You can program a custom logo and message, clerk names, departments, and item descriptions. These text messages and descriptions appear on the receipt.
When you are programming the alpha descriptions for Departments, PLUs, Clerks, the Store Name/Logo Message, use the Alpha Keyboard.
Note
Only capital letters of the alphabet are on the Alpha Keyboard. You can use lower case letters. See Alphanumeric Code Chart on page 18.
The department keys are clearly labeled with all the letters needed to program these descriptions. When you are programming alpha descriptions, use the department keys to spell out the words you want.
To use the letters in the white part of the Department keys, simply press the Department key.
To use the letters in the lower green area of the keys, press the Dept Shift key and then press the key with the letter you want.
You might need certain symbols or lower case characters that are not found on the Alpha Keyboard. For example, if you require a space between words, or if you need the / symbol, or the - symbol, see the Alphanumeric Code Chart shown in the next section.
Important
If you enter the wrong character, press the Void key to backspace and delete that character. Now you can continue.
