Chapter 8: Running Reports
When you are done printing these reports, the information only exists on the cash register tape. You can run almost all reports in the Z position.
To prevent someone from accidently printing these reports, a manager password can be set. After the password is set, these reports do not print until the password is entered. For information about setting manager passwords, see Setting X and Manager Passwords on page 28.
Besides passwords, the keys that came with your cash register are also a form of security. We recommend giving clerks the REG keys and giving managers the Z and PRG keys.
For additional security, only the Z and PRG keys can run Z reports. The REG key cannot run Z reports. This means that people with REG keys cannot run or clear the transaction history.

•Z2 reading — Commonly known as a weekly or monthly reading. This reading prints transaction totals either on a weekly or monthly basis (not both) and resets all transaction totals to zero except the Running Grand Total.
