2. Application systems
This section describes the configuration of application system and their related setting with
the QT-6600. 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 18 ~ 22 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-6600 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-6600 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/ scanning PLU totalizers
Registration data is accumulated in totalizers for each PLU/ scanning 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 etc. also have totalizers.

Linking between PLUs/ scanning PLUs, subdepartments, departments and groups can
be programmed to meet the needs of the retail environment.
PLUs/ scanning 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.

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, end 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-6600 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.
Standard function key layout
Refer to the page 16 of the user’s manual.
Character key layout
Refer to the page 126, 127 of the programming manual.
