Taking Read and Reset Reports

Fundamental Concepts of Various Types of Reports

Four types of Reports are available in connection with the Control Lock positions and the periods of data accumulation:

Daily Read Report: It can be issued at any time and any number of times during the day. It allows to read the sales data recorded up to the moment since the corresponding Reset Report was issued yesterday. Taking this type of report will not affect any sales data in the report memory.

Daily Reset Report: The contents and format are the same as the Daily Read Report. However, it should be issued only once at the end of the day usually after closing the store. It is the “final” report that should be kept in file. Taking this type of report will clear all the resettable totals and counters in the report memory after the report is issued.

Periodical Read Report: It can be issued at any time and any number of times during a certain period defined by the sotre (one week, one month, etc.). Thus it allows to read the sales data accumulated up to the moment since the correspond- ing Reset Report was issued last time.

Periodical Reset Report: The contents and format are the same as the Periodical Read Report. However, it should be issued only once at the end of the defined period as the “final” report and be kept in file. Taking this type of report will clear all the resettable totals and counters in the report memory after the report is issued.

In addition, Read Reports (Daily or Periodical) are called “X” reports since the reports are taken with the Control Lock positioned to “X” and the header “X” is printed. Reset Reports (Daily or Periodical) are called “Z” reports, taken with the Control Lock positioned to “Z”, printing the header “Z”. Please also note the Reset Report Counter is printed on each Reset (Z) Report only. By this counter, you are sure that no illegal Reset Reports were taken between the one taken at the end of yesterday and the one taken now.

CAUTION : Whenever you turn the Control Lock to “Z” position, be sure that you are taking Reset Reports (final reports) and that the sales data will be cleared by the operation to follow.

WARNING!

When opening the cash drawer, be careful not to let the drawer hit any person.

Report Taking Operation

Before taking a report, be certain to confirm that the “R OFF” lamp is extinguished when the Receipt-format option has been selected. If it is illuminated, press the [LOG/RECEIPT] key to extinguish the lamp.
