Text programming
There are 2 ways to program text:
•Using character keys on the keyboard
•Entering character codes with numeric keys on the keyboard
If you are using the characters on the Department # pad to enter your text you need to be familiar with some of the keys.
SHIFT: This makes letters upper and lower case. Upper case letters are the default. If you wish to make lower case letters then you press the Shift key (see handout for key layout)
NUMBER: Press the Number key to enter numeric characters. For example: The customer wants to enter their address in the footer of the receipt. If the address started with 19116 (as the street number) you would press the NUMBER key before entering these characters. When you are done entering numbers press the number key again and you can then enter letters.
DC: This key toggles between single size and double size letters. By default, single size letters are selected. If you press DC then all your letters will be double sized. You will also see “___” appear in the cash register display. If you wish to go back to single size letters press the DC key again.
BS: This key backs up the cursor, erasing to the left.
If you are entering character codes with numeric keys on the keyboard you have a couple of different keys to become familiar with. These are:
00 (Double zero) After you enter the code for the letter you want you always have to press the 00 key.
Ex: (see handout) to program the word SHARP in double size letters you would enter the following
253 00 083 00 072 00 065 00 082 00 080 00
S H A R P
Again, you must enter 00 between each letter for this to work correctly.
