2PLU/UPC Programming

The cash register can handle PLU codes and UPC codes.

PLU (Price Look-Up) codes are used for PLU and sub-department functions:

The PLU function allows speedy key entries whereby a price is automatically called up when a code is entered. The sub-department is a kind of “open PLU”, which requires you to enter a price after the PLU code is entered. PLU codes consist of 4-digit numbers and leading zeros can be applied to the PLU codes.

The cash register allows you to keyboard UPC-A (number system character: 0,2,3,4,5), UPC-E, EAN-8 and EAN-13 barcodes. The register also allows you to keyboard add-on codes (2 digits or 5 digits) added to EAN-13 codes except ISBN and ISSN codes.

Unit prices for UPC codes must be preset. This means that even if price information is contained in a code, the register does not refer to it for sales registration.

A maximum of 7000 PLU or UPC codes settings are possible. Each one belongs to a department and acquires the department's parameters (dept. type (normal or bottle return), dept. group, tax status, SICS and sign). A commission group (0 to 2, 0: No commission is applied) can be assigned to each department for commission for clerks. Each commission amount for individual clerk is calculated based on the corresponding programmed commission rate and printed later on clerk reports.

The cash register is preprogrammed so PLU1 through PLU1200 as PLUs (commission group: 0) associated with department 1 and preset unit price “0”.
