1-8. System configuration

This section represents the system configuration of the QT-6100. The QT-6100 have three different system configurations, such as shared check tracking / floating clerk interrupt system, Inline collection / consolidation system and Online collection / consolidation system. Before detail explanation, we should define the words:

1) Check master: Check master is the master server of shared check tracking system and floating clerk interrupt system. This terminal has check index and detail files and controls them.

2) Check backup master: Check backup master is the backup server of shared check tracking system and floating clerk interrupt system. This terminal also has check index and detail files and update them at the same timing of master. When the check master goes down, the backup master plays the role of check master.

3) Check self master: Check self master has its check tracking system files and clerk interrupt files for itself.

4) Satellite: The terminal which is not assigned to 1) ~ 3) above.

5) Remote printer: Remote printer prints data sent from both its own terminal and other terminal of the system.

6) Local printer: Local printer prints data sent from its own terminal.

2. Application systems

This section describes the configuration of application system and their related setting with the QT-6100. Reading this section provides a general understanding of the overall system of the terminal.

2-1. General description of application system

2-1-1. File concept

Programming data for each function, as well as registration data, are assigned and handled in the RAM of the terminal in data blocks called files. Each files identified by a 3-digit file number consists of multiple records. Memory management on a file basis allows flexibility memory allocation in accordance with the application of a specific terminal. The number of records per file can be programmed, and a file can even be programmed for zero records.

There are three types of files: – Terminal files:

Terminal files include system work files, daily total files, periodic total 1, periodic total 2 files, buffer files, and program files. Periodic total files have only totalizer field, and totalize the same data which is accumulated to terminal files at the same time. The periodic total 1 files have 100 order file numbers, and the periodic total 2 files have 200 order file numbers. These files can be reset individually and separately from the terminal files. This provides access to weekly and monthly total data. The periodic total 1 files and 2 files have the same functions, and can accumulate data with different periods. The same number of records as the corresponding terminal file must be reserved for each periodic total files.

– Consolidation files:

Consolidation files are work files for consolidation of daily total, periodic 1 total and periodic 2 total data from each terminal, and have 300, 400 and 500 order file numbers, respectively. The same number of records as the corresponding terminal files must be reserved for each file, on the master terminal.

– Consolidation work files:

Consolidation work files are work files for collection/consolidation of daily, periodic 1/2 data from each terminal. The files have 600 order file numbers. The file number of records as the corresponding terminal file must be reserved for each consolidation file.

Each file requires an internal work area, so calculation of actual file size can be performed using the following formula:

Record length × Number of records + Work area = Actual file size

The table on the page 14 ~ 17 of the programming manual shows all the files available for the terminal. See the Appendix A-2 of this manual for detail formats of individual files.

QT-6100 Reference Manual

R-23

Application System

2-1-2. Linkage of totalizers

Registered data is accumulated to totalizers which are reserved for each functions. The QT-6100 has the following types of totalizers:

1) Fixed totalizers

Registration data is accumulated for individual terminals.

2) Function key totalizers

Data input by finalize or transaction keys is accumulated in totalizers for each key. Operation types, as well as data used in operation differ depending on the key.

3) Subdepartment totalizers

Registration data is accumulated in totalizers for each subdepartment.

4) Department totalizers

Registration data is accumulated in totalizers for each department.

5) Group totalizers

Registration data is accumulated in totalizers for each group.

6) PLU totalizers

Registration data is accumulated in totalizers for each PLU.

7) Clerk totalizers

Registration data is accumulated for each relevant clerk. A clerk detail totalizer can be linked to a fix totalizer, finalize key, transaction key, or item totalizer (department / PLU / subdepartment / group), and accumulate data registered for the destination totalizer of each relevant clerk.

8) Other totalizer

Functions for hourly sales, monthly sales void reason, table analysis, time attendance and hourly item also have totalizers.

Linking between PLUs, subdepartments, departments and groups can be programmed to meet the needs of the retail environment. PLUs can be programmed to link with subdepartments, departments or group, while subdepartment can be programmed to link with department or group, and department can be programmed to link with group. When a PLU is programmed to link with a department, data registered for the PLU is also accumulated to the department. In addition, when the department is programmed to link with a group, data registered for the PLU is simultaneously reflected the department totalizer and group totalizer. When data is registered to a totalizer which is preset in the clerk detail link table, the data is also accumulated to the clerk detail totalizer reserved for each relevant clerk.

2-1-3. Function keys

The keys on the keyboard can be assigned various functions that are used for registration as required for the terminal. For convenience sake, these functions are called by function keys. There are two types of function keys:

1) System keys

Numeric keys, clear key, home position key, left / right / up / down arrow keys, yes key, no key, mode selection keys, ESC/SKIP key, page up / down key are system keys.

2) Function keys

These function keys are used for finalize a transaction, to specify the functions for a registration or to specify the meaning of a entry. These function keys have programmable functions, which are set to the transaction key / department / subdepartment / PLU file. Function keys include finalize key, transaction key, department key, subdepartment key and flat PLU key.

The list of all function keys is shown in the Program 4 chapter of the programming manual. General descriptions of individual function keys are found in the chapter 2-2.

2-1-4. Keyboard layout

Normally, the keyboard is assigned functions which are required for registration of transactions. The keyboard is also used for character input when entering descriptors or names during programming. The QT-6100 automatically switches the keyboard to its character input function when it determines that character input is required for the operation sequence you are performing. This means that you can input characters without having to worry about manually changing the keyboard input mode.

The function key (except system keys) allocation is fully programmable to meet the specific needs of each terminal. The actual programming of key layouts can be performed in the PGM4 mode, and programmed data is written onto the key table (file 074/174). The allocation can also be programmed when programming each function file for programming function keys such as finalize keys, transaction keys, department keys, subdepartment keys, and flat PLU keys.

Character key layout

Refer to the page 104, 105 of the programming manual.

QT-6100 Reference Manual

Application System

2-1-5. Mode control

With the QT-6100, each clerk can be programmed to enable or disable operations in the following modes:

– REF mode – REG– mode – REG mode – X/Z mode – Program 1 ~ 6 mode – Manager mode – Inline X/Z mode – Inline auto program – CF backup / restore mode

Also, each clerk can be programmed to enable or disable operations of every function key. Though the terminal has no actual REG 2 mode, on the page 48 in the Clerk Control function chapter of this manual, the manager control procedure is described.

Arrangement execution mode programmed in the arrangement key ignores the mode control program by the clerk.

Please note that if a clerk want to operate an arrangement, he / she should allow to operate arrangement function.

2-1-6. Operation prompt and error messages

The QT-6100 displays messages to indicate the status of the terminal being operated or programmed. These messages help to determine the status of the terminal or the required subsequent action.

2-1-6-1. Operation prompt

Refer to the page 201 of this manual for details. These messages cannot be added, modified or deleted.

2-1-6-2. Error messages

Refer to the page 198 ~ 200 of this manual for details. Error messages are displayed to indicate that an error has occurred and a compulsory operation must be performed. All error messages cannot be added, modified or deleted.

2-1-7. Printing control system

The following describes the control system for printing of receipts, the journal, validation, slips and X/Z reports.

2-1-7-1. Receipt print control during normal registration

Normally, the receipt is printed to reflect the details of a registration as it is performed, with the receipt being issued with the finalize operation. By using the <RECEIPT ON/OFF> key, the receipt issuance status can be turned off to suspend printing and issuance of receipts when so desired. Pressing the <RECEIPT ON/OFF> key turns the receipt issuance status on or off, and when the receipt issuance status is On, the icon “RECEIPT ON” appears.

To perform validation printing, insert the validation paper into the slip printer, and then press the <VALIDATION> key (function code 037). The following desctription shows the print format for validation performed using the slip printer.

There are three general types of validation printing:

1) Finalization validation

2) Transaction validation

3) Item validation

Finalization validation is performed following finalization operations with finalize keys. When a validation is performed following receipt issuance, the sales total or tendered amount is printed, while partial tendering, the tendered amount for the specified medium is printed.

Transaction validation is valid for the following function keys: – Received on account, Paid out, finalization of Pick up or Loan, Check cashing, Minus,

Plus, Discount, Premium, Void, Coupon, Coupon2, Tip, Deposit, Subtotal, Merchandise subtotal keys

You can program the allowable number of validation printings or multiple validation printing status for the above listed keys. Also some of these keys can be programmed as validation compulsory, this means that registration is not permitted until the validation of the former registration has been performed.

Item validation is performed directly following an item registration listed below.

– Departments – Subdepartments – PLUs

You can program the multiple validation printing status for above items.
