|
|
|
zero decimal point | 0 | = $ X |
|
|
|
one decimal point | 1 | = $ X.X |
|
|
|
two decimal point | 2 | = $ X.XX (U.S. Standard) |
|
|
|
three decimal point | 3 | = $ X.XXX |
|

After you program the decimal point, you do not need to specify a decimal when you ring up sales. If you try to use a decimal point, you hear an error beep.
