The PLU search Feature has been added in order to allow easy searching for

products. The feature allows the user to select a product by its description.

To set this feature active it is necessary in the file S2001.INI to have the following

line
set :-

REM ==============PLU SEARCH=============

PLUTEXT=1

REM ==============AUTO LOGON=============

This feature is NOT set as default.

To invoke this feature, simply press the PLU button (Function 3) without prior

Numeric key entry. This will display a search screen and QWERTY keyboard. On
pressing a character the display will show all items beginning with that letter, if a

second character is pressed the selection screen will show all items that begin with

these two characters, this is repeated if a third and more characters are selected.

As detailed above the PLU key must be pressed before the search feature is invoked.

If a numeric key is pressed prior to the PLU the system will attempt to sell this
product. To avoid this a macro can be set up as PLU Search :-

0Q,F3

This feature allows the Back Office control of a System, by setting scheduled times

from a Windows Scheduler it is possible to Control the full Opening and Closing of a
System. The control is all set at the master machine and the simple sending of files

to the Master can invoke the Opening and Closing of a Full System including slaves.

No programming is required on the POS to set this feature up.

To create this feature Sharp have developed a simple site control program which

allows the system to be controlled from a Back Office PC. This program can be found

on the Sharp Web Site. Included in this file is a Manual in Acrobat Format. This
manual details the full operation of the Utilities.

See over for functional description.

is required. For example SOD means Start of Day. These commands should ONLY be

sent to the Master POS. The Master will distribute commands to each of its slaves.
