At data entry, the price prompt includes the pricing symbols (unless you select None for Monetary Sign). Your price prompt may look like this

PRICE: $0.00

...or like this

PRICE: 0¢

The difference between these prompts is the symbol used for printing amounts less than $1.00. You can select the cent sign for printing amounts less than $1.00 using the Defaults function. The same option is available for other currencies. See Chapter 5, "Setting Defaults."

You can enter and print: cent amounts, dollar and cent amounts,

or unit prices. For example: 3¢, $.59, $15.98, 2/59¢, or 3/$1.00.

You can use any price field in a "2-for" pricing scheme. When entering data for a price field offline (at the printer), use the # key to separate the 2 and the price data in the "2-for" price. For example, to enter the price "Two for $5.00," enter 2#500. If you use option 42 to format the field online as a price field, enter the quantity, a slash, and the price data. For example, to enter the price "Two for $5.00," enter 2/500.
