Programming the Credit Keys

You can use 2 department keys as credit card-only keys. You can use one or both keys if you want. For example, you can set Department 19 to be a Visa® card and Department 20 to be a MasterCard®. You can also program the cash register to print the name of the credit card on the receipt or journal tape.

When you ring up a sale, you can use Department 19 or Department 20 to finalize the credit card sale, open the cash drawer, and print the receipt or journal tape.

You must set Flag 16 Option Number 1, 2, or 3 to use this feature. For more information about setting Flags, see Programming Flag Options on page 56.
