4. Clerk system
In the IRC system, the following two types of clerk file systems are available: a centralized system and an individual system. In the centralized clerk file system, the master manages transaction data on clerks within the IRC system. In the individual clerk file system, each machine manages its clerk transaction data.
In choosing the type of clerk system, consult your authorized SHARP dealer.
(1) Centralized clerk file system
Centralized clerk file system – without the overlapped clerk function
In this system, each clerk file is under the centralized control of the master and programming for clerks has to be done only at the master. When a clerk signs on at a satellite, a communication between the satellite and the master will begin.
Centralized clerk file system
–with the overlapped clerk function and without overlapped clerk save files
In this system, each overlapped clerk file is under the centralized control of the master and programming for clerks has to be done only at the master. When a clerk signs on at a satellite, a communication between the satellite and the master will begin.
When the clerk signs off, the overlapped clerk data is transferred to the master and saved in its overlapped clerk file.
Centralized clerk file system
–with the overlapped clerk function and overlapped clerk save files
In this system, each overlapped clerk file is under the centralized control of the master and programming for clerks has to be done only at the master. The way data flows differs depending on whether or not the clerk signs on at the same satellite as the one used in his or her previous operation. (The data which flows in the system includes not only clerk data but also GLU data. In the figure on the next page, the GLU/ROOM GLU data flows are omitted.)
