In the IRC system, the following two types of clerk file systems are available: a centralized system and an
individual system. In the centralized clerk file system, the master manages transaction data on clerks within
the IRC system. In the individual clerk file system, each machine manages its clerk transaction data.

In choosing the type of clerk system, consult your authorized SHARP dealer.
(1) Centralized clerk file system
Centralized clerk file system – without the overlapped clerk function
In this system, each clerk file is under the centralized control of the master and programming for clerks has
to be done only at the master. When a clerk signs on at a satellite, a communication between the satellite
and the master will begin.

satellite and the master will begin.
When the clerk signs off, the overlapped clerk data is transferred to the master and saved in its overlapped
clerk file.

In this system, each overlapped clerk file is under the centralized control of the master and programming for
clerks has to be done only at the master. The way data flows differs depending on whether or not the clerk
signs on at the same satellite as the one used in his or her previous operation. (The data which flows in the
system includes not only clerk data but also GLU data. In the figure on the next page, the GLU/ROOM GLU
data flows are omitted.)

machines in the IRC system. (For further details on the clerk sign-on report, see page 10.)

1) When the clerk signs on at a machine other than the one used in his or her previous operation:
In this case, the overlapped clerk data is sent from the master to the satellite (transfer of overlapped clerk
data).

2) When the clerk signs on at the same satellite as the one used in his or her previous operation:
In this case, no data transfer occurs between the master and the satellite but the data stored in the save file
of the satellite is called back. This permits quicker data look-up than above in 1).

Whether the centralized clerk file system is used with or
without an overlapped clerk save file, the master's
overlapped clerk file can be accessed from any machine
in the IRC system.

• For selecting whether your system should have the overlapped clerk function or not, and whether
it should have overlapped clerk save files or not, consult your authorized SHARP dealer.
• To use the overlapped clerk function in the IRC system, the overlapped clerk function must be
enabled for all the master and satellite machines.
(2) Individual clerk file system
In this system, each clerk file is under the control of a satellite and you have to do programming for
clerks at each satellite. Even if a programmed clerk signs on at a satellite, a communication with the
master will not begin.

The overlapped clerk file in a satellite can only be accessed by the satellite itself. The data in the clerk
files at all satellites will be collected by the master each time a consolidated report is issued.
