Clerk assignment
Prior to any item entries, clerks must enter their clerk codes into the register.  However, the code entry may not
be necessary when the same clerk handles the consecutive transactions.  Clerk codes 1 to 4 can be assigned
by default setting.

Receipt ON/OFF function
When you use the printer to issue receipts, you can disable receipt printing in the REG mode to save paper
using the receipt ON/OFF function. To disable receipt printing, press the 

R

key in the OP X/Z position.  This

key toggles the receipt printing status ON and OFF.  When the function is in the OFF mode, the receipt off
indicator “_” illuminates.  
The register will print reports regardless of the receipt state, so the paper roll must be installed.  
To issue a receipt when receipt ON/OFF function is set to OFF:
If your customer wants a receipt after you finalized a transaction with the receipt ON/OFF function being OFF
status, press the 

R

key.  This will produce a receipt.  However, if more than 30 items were entered, the

receipt will be issued in a summary receipt.

Copy receipt
You can print a copy receipt by pressing the 

R

key when the receipt ON/OFF function is in the “ON” status.

To realize this function, you must enable the function.  Please refer to page 46. (Job code 63)

Power Save Mode
The register will enter into power save mode when no entries are performed based on the pre-programmed time
limit (by default, 30 minutes).
When the register goes to the power save mode, all display lights will turn off except the decimal point at the
leftmost position of the lower line.  The register will return to the normal operation mode when any key is
pressed or a mode is changed with the mode key.  Please note when the register is recovered by a key entry, its
key entry is invalid.  After the recovery, start the key entry from the beginning.

correct, it can be rung up in the MGR mode.  Contact your manager.

For another merchandise classification, the cash register provides a maximum of 1800 PLUs/subdepartments.
PLUs are used to call up preset prices by a code entry.  Subdepartments are used to classify merchandise into
smaller groups under the departments.  Every PLU and subdepartment has a code from 1 to 1800, and should
belong to a department to obtain attributes of that department.

The cash register is pre-programmed to PLU mode and zero for unit price. To use PLU entries, their preset unit
prices should be previously programmed. (Refer to page 30.)

To use subdepartment entries, change to subdepartment mode for the PLU codes.
