6. PROGRAMMING OPERATIONS EO1-11095
6-3
6.2 CHARACTER ENTRIES
Case 2: When the ECR Keyboard is Flat Keyboard Type:
The Flat keyboard will be set with the “Setting Mode Key Layout” in the programming operations including the
character entries. On this keyboard, functions and locations of keys required in various programming operations
are fixed. Characters on the key sheet may be entered directly through this keyboard. The Character Code Entry
method is also allowed.
The following operations may be executed with the “Setting Mode Key Layout.”
• STORE NAME/MESSAGE AND COMMERCIAL MESSAGE PROGRAMMING (Submode 1)
• CASHIER CODE AND NAME PROGRAMMING (Submode 2)
• PLU TABLE PROGRAMMING (Submode 4)
• CUSTOMER FILE CODE (CHECK TRACK NO.) AND NAME SETTING (Submode 15)
• SALESPERSON CODE AND NAME PROGRAMMING (Submode 20)

NOTE: If an option keyboard (TKB-1 or PK-2) is connected, the DIRECT CHARACTER ENTRY method is

allowed through both the ECR keyboard and the option keyboard.

6.2 CHARACTER ENTRIES
As already stated, there are two methods of operations for character settings for names or messages:
CHARACTER CODE ENTRY Method and DIRECT CHARACTER ENTRY Method.
CHARACTER CODE ENTRY Method
This method is to set a character by entering a Character Code and depressing the [#] key.
This method is allowed in either of Case 1 and Case 2, but is operated only on the ECR keyboard (Ordinary
Type or Flat Type).
DIRECT CHARACTER ENTRY Method
This method is to set a character by directly depressing the Character Key on any of the following keyboard:
• Flat Keyboard (ECR Keyboard Flat Type) with “Setting Mode Key Layout” sheet (refer to Case 2)
• TKB-1 Keyboard (Programming Keyboard; hardware option)
• PK-2 Keyboard (PLU Keyboard; hardware option)
By using those character keys, the characters are directly entered. In this manual, sample operations are
attached to most of the programming operations. And at name or message programming portions, characters
are entered by the CHARACTER CODE ENTRY method. Instead of this, you may depress the Character
Keys. For example, instead of entering 401 [#] (to enter character “A”), you may simply depress Character
Key “A” on any of the above three keyboards.
On the following pages, Character Code Tables under the CHARACTER CODE ENTRY Method and three
different keyboards under the DIRECT CHARACTER ENTRY Method are shown. These pages are to be referred
to, every time the “Character Entries” sequence is contained in various programming operations in this manual.
Read through these pages at least once first, so that you may know the appropriate method of character entries
using the ECR keyboard and/or option keyboards.
