5PLU/UPC programming

Your machine has two kinds of PLU registration methods.

Direct PLU registration: Accomplished by pressing item key (direct PLU key) directly.

Indirect PLU registration: Accomplished by making an entry of PLU code and pressing the key.

In this manual, the word “UPC” represents UPC (Universal Product Code) and the word “EAN” represents EAN (European Article Number).

With regard to the UPC codes available to this register, please refer to the chapter 13 in “Job-Code-Based programming”.

Each PLU/UPC requires you to program the following:

PLU/UPC code (PLU: max. 5 digits, UPC: 6 to 13 digits)

Associated department

When a PLU/UPC is associated with a department, the following functions of the PLU/UPC depend on the programming for the corresponding department.

Type (Bottle return/Hash/Normal)

Single item cash sale/Single item finalization

HALO (for “Open” type)

Item validation print compulsory/non-compulsory

Unit price (max. six digits)

You will usually have unit prices programmed for individual PLUs/UPCs as PLU/UPC unit prices.

If you program unit price “0.00” for a PLU/UPC, you can enter only the selling quantity into the PLU/UPC, i.e. the PLU/UPC can be used only as a counter.

Base quantity for split-pricing entries – two digits

Program a base quantity for each PLU/UPC dedicated to split-pricing entries.

Type of unit price entry

If “Preset only” is selected, individual PLU/UPC entries can be made by entering the assigned code and

pressing the PPLU/ key (or by pressing a direct PLU key without any PLU code entry, or by scanning the UPC

UPC

code).

• If “Open only” is selected, the PPLU/ key must be pressed after the price entry followed by the PLU code and

the PPLU/ entry (, or the unit price must be entered before pressing a direct PLU key).

UPC

If “Open and preset” is selected, the entries in both “Preset” and “Open” types are available.

If the delete mode is selected, the corresponding program data for each PLU/UPC is deleted.

If the prohibit mode is selected, the PLU/UPC code cannot be entered. This mode does not clear the

PLU/UPC program data.
