Sharp UP-700, UP-600 instruction manual PLU/UPC data control

9. PLU/UPC data control

In the IRC system, PLU/UPC sales data is centrally controlled by the master. PLU/UPC data which is temporarily stored in the T-LOG buffer of a satellite is sent to the master by T-LOG polling. (For further information on T-LOG polling, see page 14.)

NOTE

The learning function enables the operator at a satellite to set the unit price, associated department and deletion/non-deletion attributes for an item whose code is undefined in the PLU/UPC file. (For further information on the learning function, see the UP-600 or UP-700 Instruction Manual.)

If the satellite does not have a dynamic UPC file, the data on the UPC item which has been set using the learning function is stored in the PLU/UPC main file to update the master’s file.

If the satellite has a dynamic UPC file, the data is stored in the dynamic UPC file to update the master’s file.

The data which has been set using the learning function in the training mode at a satellite is stored in

its T-LOG buffer.

For the PLU/UPC data flow, see the following scenarios.

(1) When the master and satellites have no dynamic UPC files:
