Sharp XE-A213 PLU level shift for direct PLU key, Automatic return mode, Lock shift mode

PLU level shift (for direct PLU key)

This shift can double or triple the number of direct PLU keys on your register without adding additional direct PLU keys. You can use direct PLU keys in three levels by utilizing shift keys Ò, Ú, and Æ. These keys have the following functions.

Ò: Shifts the PLU level from level 2 or 3 to level 1 (ordinary level).

Ú: Shifts the PLU level from level 1 or 3 to level 2.

Æ: Shifts the PLU level from level 1 or 2 to level 3.

You can select one of the two PLU level shift modes — automatic return mode* and lock shift mode** — and decide whether to allow PLU level shift in both the REG and MGR modes or in the MGR mode alone.

*The automatic return mode automatically shifts the PLU level back to level 1. You can select whether the PLU level should return to level 1 each time you enter one item or each time you finalize one transaction.

**The lock shift mode holds the current PLU level until pressing of a PLU level shift key.

By default, you can operate PLU level shift in both the REG and MGR modes under the automatic return mode (returning to level 1 after an item entry). To change the setting, please refer to “PLU level shift and GLU function parameters” on page 67.
