Programming Department Keys

Programming Department Names

A name or description can be assigned to each department key. This name appears on the clerk display and prints when ringing up sales.

For example, Clothing can print on the receipt in place of Dept 1, Shoes can print on the receipt in place of Dept 2, Sportswear can print on the receipt in place of Department 3, and so on.

When you are programming the descriptions for Departments, use the

Alphanumeric Keyboard.

When you are done programming the department description, press the Check key to save your programming. The information is saved in the cash register and you can program the next item.

Note

Only capital letters of the alphabet are on the Alphanumeric Keyboard. You can also use lower case letters and numbers, certain symbols, and international characters. See Alphanumeric Code Chart on page 40.

The department keys are clearly labeled with all the letters you need to program these descriptions. When you are programming alphanumeric descriptions, use the department keys to spell out the words you want.

You can use the letters in the lower green area of the keys by pressing the Dept Shift key and then pressing the key with the letter you want.

You might need certain symbols, numbers, international characters or lower case characters that are not found on the Alphanumeric Keyboard. For example, if you require a space between words, or if you need the / symbol, or -, you use the round Number keys to type the correct alphanumeric code. 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.
