Chapter 4: Setting Up Your Cash Register - the Basics
Setting X and Manager Passwords
Two Manager Passwords are available for added security:
•one password to go to the PRG and Z modes
•one password to go to the X mode.
Important
The Manager Password cannot be 0000 (zeros). The cash register will not accept this password.
Caution
Write your passwords down in a safe place. If you forget the passwords, you must do a Full System Clear procedure. A Full System Clear erases all transaction information and programming. For details on the Full System Clear, see Full System Clear on page 89.
After you program a password, you must use it every time you go to the program mode or before every X or Z readings, depending on which you set the password for.
When you enter a password, it appears as asterisks **** on the displays for extra security.
