Programming Coupon Discounts

You can use the Coupon Discount (CPN) key to subtract a specific amount from an individual item. You can enter a coupon in the middle of a transaction or by itself in a transaction.

After you are done, you can check your results. See Running the Program Confirmation Report on page 70.

Programming the Coupon Discount key includes 2 steps:

1Setting a High Digit Lock Out (HDLO) number

The High Digit Lock Out (HDLO) number limits the number of digits that can be rung up in a coupon discount. This prevents you from accidentally subtracting a large amount.
