The modifier buttons allow a particular item to be sold in a non-standard portion size.  For

pressed before the required item is selected.

The Sharp A850 Terminal may have up to eight payment types available.  The most common
types are cash, cheque, credit/debit card and voucher.  The terminal is set  up to record and
process money transactions according to your company’s own policies.  The payment could
include acceptance of overtendering or gratuities, calculating change, and the entry of a
tendered amount.  A payment may be registered using one or more payment types.

Having  switched on the terminal, an authorised server must log on.  The Main Menu options
will then be displayed.  There are several options available; some applying to managerial staff
only.  The options displayed will depend upon the type of terminal; master or slave.  The
master terminal will have the full range of functions available and  the slave terminal will
display a summarised list of options.  When the day  start and session start have been
implemented by the manager or supervisory personnel, the trading screen can be selected.

The functions described in the Trading section of this document are divided into four groups;
Identification, Item Entry, Correction, and Payment.  The order in which you proceed through a
particular function is described and an indication of the next function choice available is given
in italic text.  For example, how to enter a quantity may be followed by item entry or clear.

For security purposes, some functions are password protected and the system will prompt you
to enter your password code before proceeding.  Access to certain functions may also depend
upon the authorisation level set for your server number.  Generally, the functions which you
may perform on the terminal are determined by your job position.

Please note that when the  terminal is in “Training” mode, the letter “T” is shown at the  top
right-hand side of the operator display for information.

Every transaction on the terminal is identified by the server number and where appropriate the
table number and number of table diners.  Each terminal is set  up for  a particular terminal
location and this determines whether or not the entry of a table number is required.  For
example, the terminal may be bar only, restaurant only, or both.

The system enables a server to access an active transaction from any  terminal (by releasing
the transaction from the  original terminal), transfer a table transaction from one  server to
another server, and merge two transactions into one.  However, it should be noted that a
server cannot be logged onto different terminals at the same time.

V1.395

To log on at a terminal, simply insert your server key at the front of the terminal.  The server
name is shown on the  operator display.  When you  have finished the transaction entry, you
should complete the order.  Orders will be printed in the relevant location as soon as the server
logs off and the operator display is cleared.  Remove your server key so that the next server
can sign on.

There may be preset server buttons assigned to the keyboard, in which case to log on to the
terminal, simply press the relevant preset server button.  To log off, press the button again.
