Please note if you press the same key after using the Dkey, it acts as a repeat entry. For example, when you register an item of dept. 21 using the Dkey and then an item of dept. 1 using the preset unit price, you should use the department code entry key described below for the dept. 1 item. If you just press the ¡key to register dept. 1 item, it will act as a repeat entry of dept. 21 item.

• When using the department code entry key

Enter a department (dept.) code and press the dkey, then enter a unit price and press the dkey again. If the dept. code is programmed to preset price entry style and a unit price is preset, the cash register will finish its registration operation.

PLU/subdepartment entries

For another merchandise classification, the cash register provides a maximum of 1800 PLUs/subdepartments. PLUs are used to call up preset prices by a code entry. Subdepartments are used to classify merchandise into smaller groups under the departments. Every PLU and subdepartment has a code from 1 to 1800, and should belong to a department to obtain attributes of that department.

The cash register is pre-programmed to PLU mode and zero for unit price. To use PLU entries, their preset unit prices should be previously programmed. (Refer to page 34.)

To use subdepartment entries, change to subdepartment mode for the PLU codes.
