5Price lookup (PLU) programming

Your machine has two kinds of PLU registration methods.

Direct PLU registration: Accomplished by depressing item key (direct PLU key) directly.

Indirect PLU registration: Accomplished by making an entry of PLU code and pressing the §key.

Each PLU requires you to program the following:

PLU code (six digits)

Associated department

When a PLU is associated with a department, the following functions of the PLU depend on the programming for the corresponding department.

Grouping (Group 1 through14)

HALO (only for the subdepartment)

Single item cash sale/Single item finalization

Item validation print compulsory/non-compulsory

Unit price (max. six digits)

You will usually have unit prices programmed for individual PLUs as PLU preset unit prices. If you program unit price “0” for a PLU, you can enter only the selling quantity of the PLU, i.e. the PLU can be used only as a counter.

Base quantity for split-pricing entries - two digits

Program a base quantity for each PLU/subdepartment dedicated to split-pricing entries.

PLU, subdepartment, PLU/subdepartment, delete, or prohibit mode

If the PLU mode (i.e. automatic preset unit price entry) is selected, individual PLU entries can be made by entering the assigned code and depressing the §key (or by depressing a direct PLU key without any PLU code entry).

If the subdepartment mode is selected, the Œkey must be depressed after the price entry followed by the PLU code entry. The entry is finalized by the §key depressed.

If the PLU/subdepartment mode is selected, the entries in both the PLU and subdepartment modes are available.

If the delete mode is selected, the corresponding program data for each PLU is deleted.

If the prohibit mode is selected, the assigned PLU code cannot be entered. This mode does not clear the PLU/subdepartment program data.

Sign (+/-)

The function of every PLU/subdepartment varies according to the combination of its sign and its associate department's sign as follows:
