1 – Introduction

This reference manual explains com mands that a re used to setup, maintain, produce reports on, and diagnose problems for a CFN III system.

Your service technician will set up your CFN III and introduce you to some of its features. This manual can help you avoid many unnecessary service calls, and help assure that your CFN III works the way you want it to.

This manual is for anyone who needs to know how to issue commands to the CFN III, or interpret the log printout and other reports. Generally the site manager or person in charge of operations at the site should be familiar with this manual and its contents so you can operate and maintain the CFN III information. Attendants do not need to read this manual in order to operate the Check Point or Profit Point consoles, which are covered in other manuals.

Introduction

This manual is not intended to be read cover to cover, but you should become familiar with its contents so you can look up information when you need it.

Your Operating System

Your Site Controller III (SC III) comes with a PC operating system called Windows NT access the command window and/or applications you must use your mouse. You must move t he mouse (which moves t he arrow on the scree n) ove r the icon that you want to open and double click, using the left mouse button. Your technician will instruct you on the basics of this system and accessing your CFN3 command window . The CFN3 command window mus t remain running at all times. It can be minimized, more about that later, but once closed, you will lose contact with the site controller.

When the CFN3 software was installed, your technician or system administrator configured it with your particular devices and the procedures your company follows. Fo r e xampl e, if your site accepts cash for fuel, the CFN III has been told whether the customer is required to pay before pumping (a prepay system) or is allowed to pay after pumping (a postpay system).

from Microsoft. This new system is icon based, meaning that to

Starting your SC III

The computer is turned on (booted) by pressing the button on the front of the computer. Make sure that the monitor is turned on and there are no diskettes in the A: drive. It will take a few moments t o start. You do not need to double click the CFN3 icon to start operations, the operating system has been programmed

Introduction

to do this for you. The CFN3 command window automatically opens. Press the return key if your signon prompt does not display immediately.

Quitting Your CFN3 Application

The preferred way to quit the CFN3 application is to press the ALT key and while continuing to press the ALT key , press the X key. This will terminate your site operations. Should you forget this, this method is mentioned when you log on at the top of the screen as illustrated in Figure 1-1.

Minimizing the Command Window

The site controller runs with either the command window open or minimized.

Minimizing the CFN3 command window collapses th e window on your desktop into the taskbar at the bottom of the screen, running it in the background. To place the window in the background, click the small box in the upper right corner of the command window that has an underline. Notice the box with the “X”. Clicking once on the X will quit the application and terminate site operations; this is not the r ecommended wa y of qui ttin g th e site operat ions. You need to log on again by double clicking on the CFN3 icon. Remember that the CFN3 command window must remain either open or minimized to communicate with the SC III. If your window is not open, or has been “minimized”, click once, using the left mouse button, on the CFN3 box in the taskbar to open the window onto the desktop.

Should you accidently quit the CFN3 program by clicking in the “X” in the upper right corner, double click on the CFN3 icon using the left mouse button and log in again.

Levels of Operation

The SC III has 2 user levels of operation: Gasboy, which is the daily CFN3 operation (and Integral Profit Point if you have it) and Administrator which allows you to add software updates, create/delete users, add passwords, change your PC settings , etc. You can run your site from t he Administ rator level b ut it is not recommended.

Gasboy is the default login (user) and is the working level of operation. All CFN3 operations occur at this login level. When you turn on the computer the user is Gasboy with GASBOY as the password. The desktop will contain very few icons; CFN3, CFN3 Help, My Computer, and Integral Profit Point (optional). Your day to day site operations use this login.

Figure 1-1 shows a typical CFN3 desktop with the various icons available and

the CFN3 command window open. Notice in Figure 1-1 that the CFN3 icons (CFN3, the Integral Profit Point and the CFN3 HELP) are located in the lower left of this desktop. Icons are your li nk to starting your software programs. Th e icons can be placed anywhere on the desktop but must always be available should you need to open the program.

At the bottom of the scree n is a taskba r. Whe never an appl icati on is open it wil l be represented at the bottom of the screen in this taskbar. If you minimize the CFN3 command window it will be represented in this taskbar. This is your identification that the CFN3 command window is still running. The command window must remain open, or run in the background (minimized), to communicate with the site control ler.

Clicking on the box representing the program will open or minimize the program’s window on the desktop.

Introduction

2 – Site Controller III

System Overview

The Site Con troller III (SC III) is the brain of the CFN III Syst em. Its job is to keep you informed of what is goi ng on at your site and to enable you to c ont rol the various pieces of equipment involved in a fueling operation, such as fuel pumps or dispensers, automatic gates, and tank gauges.

The SC III collects infor mation abou t what each de vice is doi ng and ma kes that information available to you in a convenient format. When you issue commands to the Site Controller-for example, to tell it to authorize a sale on a fuel pump-it forwards the request to the pump hardware, then monitors the sale in case something goes wrong. It puts control of all the connected devices at your fingertips.

Site Controller III

When the SC II I was installed, your technician or system administrator configured it with the PC operating system, along with your particular devices and the procedures your company follows. For example, if your site accepts cash for fuel, the SC III has been told whether the customer is required to pay before pumping (a prepay system) or is allowed to pay after pumping (a postpay system).

CFN3 Command Window

New for version 3.4: there is no longer the separation of the PC drives and the SC3 root directory. The P: drive is your CFN3 prompt and the location of the SC3 root directory.

The command window has an P[drive: /direct ory]* prompt wher e you will enter your commands to the SC III. If you do not see this prompt you will need to press the ENTER key to bring up the signon prompt. Sign on as instructed and press ENTER. The P* prompt will display. The command window must be “active” to communicate with the SC III. Active means that the window appears on the desktop with a colored band at the top displaying the words CFN3. If the band is gray then the window is not active. To activate the window, move the desktop arrow over the window (using the mouse) and cli ck once using the left mouse button. For more information about your command window and the desktop see “Introduction” on page 1.

Consoles

In order to use the SC III fully, you must kno w how to give it co mmands and to understand its repli es. The two point of sale devices tha t communicate with the

MDE-4315 CFN Series CFN III Manager’s Manual for Windows NT · August 2004 Page 9

Page 26

Site Controller III

Readers

SC III are the Check Point and/or Profit Point consoles.

The consoles combine pump control and ca sh-register functions . They allow you to turn on pumps and accept cash or other payment. They are used at sites that do retail business, accept cash or credit cards in the store. The Check Point and Profit Point manuals describe console operations.

Readers are devices that communicate with the CFN system and allow input from the end user. They can activate pumps, display messages, and print receipts. Readers can con sis t of any combinat ion of a cu stomer di splay, keypad, card reader, and receipt printer. Some readers are “in dispenser” and are specifically assigned to a single pump. Stand-alone readers can represent multiple pumps and require a pump selection from the user. To obtain a receipt from these reader s, the us er must r eturn t o the re ader a fter comp leting a fuel sa le and re-swipe the card or enter the pump number that was used.

The Log Printer

Another device, the log printer prints a continuous record of transactions and may also be used to print reports. Every site needs some type of printer. It is important to know how to read the information that comes out of the printer, since it includes data about completed sales and messages about any errors that have occurred.

The log printer generates an on- going recor d on paper of import ant even ts at the site. These include sales transactions and system messages generated when certain commands are run or when errors are detected during operation.

The log printer, such as an Okidata site personnel can read its output. The output of the log printer serves both as a maintenance log and an audit trail. For example, the log printer records an entry as each sale is concluded and also any time a problem is detected in an attached pump, island card reader, or other device. Since the printed log is an important business record, it is important not to let the log prin ter jam or run out of paper.

In order to print, the log pri nter must be in th e state called on-line or ready. This is usually indicated by a light on the front panel of the printer. The log printer normally goes off- line automatically when it jams or runs out of paper. You can take the log printer off-line to load paper. Most printers have a switch labeled on-line or select for taking them on- and off-line.

184 plain printer, should be located where

A properly connected a nd config ured l og printer will not ify the SC III whene ver it goes off-line, so that no data will be sent to it until it is ag ain ready to print.

Page 10 MDE-4315 CFN Series CFN III Manager’s Manual for Windows NT · August 2004

Page 27

However, the space available for storing such output is limited, so the log printer should not be left off-line for long periods while the site is operating.

It is possible to print a file on a log printer. This is usually done at shift change or by a local au tomatic command file. When a file is printed on the log this way, the terminal beeps and prints the header -Printing: filename date time where filename is the name of the file being print ed.

Command Terminals

Site commands can be entered through local or remote terminals. The local terminal is the command window on your SC III PC. A remote terminal is connected to the site through one of the SC III’s RS232 ports. It can be any dumb terminal such as the LINK or another PC running terminal emulator software capable of sup port i ng VT10 0 or VT52 (such as Procomm Plus remote terminal can also be a modem connection.

). The

Commands

Commands are instructions you type in the CFN3 Command window. CFN3 commands must be typed in exactly the format shown in this manual. Most commands are words or abbreviations for the action to be performed. For example, typing PRINT DATE and then pressing the ENTER key causes the SC III to print the curren t date and time according to its internal clock.

Some commands, as explained in this manual, have short forms that you can use instead of typing the whole command in order to save time. In the above example, PRINT DATE could have been typed P DA.

Besides command words, other special symbols, such as < and >, provide flexibility in redirecting the input to or output from commands.

Command keys

The keyboards on all types of PCs have much in common. The SC III uses several specific keys for specific functions. These keys may be located in different positions on different keyboards.

Locate the DELETE, CONTROL, ENTER, and ESCAPE keys on your keyboard. Note that:

• the DELETE key may be marked DEL

• the CONTROL key may be marked CTRL or CTL

• the ENTER key may be marked RETURN, RTN or

• the ESCAPE key may be marked ESC

System-response Problems

When you open the CFN3 command window, it should display a P* at the top left of the screen. If not, press the ENTER or RETURN key on your local terminal, the system should respond with a signon prompt. Should the system not respond, close the window by pressing the ALT key, hold it down, and then press the X key. Release both keys. Open the CFN3 window again by double clicking on the CFN3 icon. Press ENTER to get the signon prompt.

CFN3 Command Sessions

After signing on, you may enter data and commands until you either sign off or are signed off automatically. The time during which you are signed on is referred to as a command session.

How to Sign On

T o si gn on to t he Site Control ler, you enter a user numbe r and si gn-on code. Se e below for how to add new users and change sign-on codes.

To sign on:

1 Press ENTER.

The terminal will print the message signon:.

2 Type your user number, a comma, and your sign-on code, and press ENTER.

For example, if your user number is 3, and your sign-on code is hawk, type 3,hawk. If your sign-on code has any uppercase letters, make sure you enter them in uppercase. The terminal will not echo the password you type for security reasons. If you do not enter a user number, user number 0 will be assumed.

Page 12 MDE-4315 CFN Series CFN III Manager’s Manual for Windows NT · August 2004

Page 29

When you are properly signed on, the terminal prints a message such as Connected to site 1010 on Tue 7/27/04 1:12PM to show that the command session has begun and it is ready to accept commands. The next line displays the command prompt (P*).

How to Sign Off

To end a command session, press ESCAPE or type EXIT or QUIT and press ENTER.

The terminal will accept no further commands until you or someone else signs on again. When you sign off, the terminal prints Sign off Tue 10/ 26/04 1:25PM. Do not click the “X” in the upper right corner of the window.

Automatic Sign Off

If you do not type anyth ing on the terminal for 5 minutes, th e te rminal ends the command se ssion automatically. This protects the system if you forget to sign off.

Site Controller III

How to Change Your Sign-on Code

Use the command LOAD SIGNON or LO SIG to change your sign-on code. A sign-on code can be up to 16 characters long, and does not have to be a word. You can use any comb ination of characte rs. When you load a new sign -on co de, your previous sign-on cod e is era se d. In orde r to maint ain se curit y, do not write down your sign-on code.

1 Type LOAD SIGNON.

LOAD SIGNON (LO SIG)

P* LOAD SIGNON Sign on code? ******** ↵ P*

2 Enter your new code.

↵

Note: In the boxed examples shown in this manual user entries are bold

typeface and terminal responses are in regular typeface. A ↵ shows that the user pressed ENTER.

How to Enter Commands and Data

Note: Any time you enter a command, y ou can type th e full command or use the

short form, such as LO SIG for LOAD SIGNON in the section immediately above. You can use either UPPERCASE or lower case letters when typing commands.

Site Controller III

Commands tell the site controller to perform particular actions, such as printing reports or changing prices.

To enter a command, type the command on the terminal keyboard and press ENTER.

After the site controller finishes performing the action requested by a command, it will respond with the current drive letter followed by an asterisk (P*) to show that it is ready to accept another command. This lett er-asterisk combination is called the command prompt, since it prompts you to enter a command. Anytime you see the command prompt, the site controller is ready to accept a command.

For example, if you type the PRINT DATE command and press ENTER, the terminal prints the date and time, followed by the command prompt to indicate that the command has been executed and the terminal is ready to accept another command.

If a command requires that you enter data, the terminal will ask a question—which is called a data entry prompt—indicating what type of data you should enter. If the terminal displays a data entry prompt:

• Type the data and press ENTER.

• If the command has several prompts, type the reque st ed dat a and pr ess ENTER after each

one.

• After the last prompt in the series, the terminal will print the command prompt to indicate the command has been executed and the terminal is ready to accept another command.

To print the date, type PRINT DATE and press ENTER.

P* PRINT DATE ↵

Tue 10/26/04 11:40AM,Trans=57, Seq=624 SCIIIv3.x P*

CFN3 will display the date. Command prompt will be displayed.

To load the date:

1 Type LOAD DATE.

P* LOAD DATE ↵ MONTH? 10 ↵ DAY OF MONTH? 26 ↵ YEAR? 04 ↵ HOUR? 13 ↵ MINUTE? 31 ↵

Tue 10/26/04 1:31PM, Trans=154, Seq=332 SCIIIv3.x P*

2 Enter the month (mm format).

3 Enter the day (dd format).

4 Enter the year (yy format).

5 Enter the hour (military time format).

P* RESET DIAGNOSTICS ↵ P*

6 Enter the minute.

CFN3 will display the date and time

If a command does not print data or require data to be entered, the terminal prints just a command prompt to indicate the command has been executed and the terminal is ready to accept another command as illustrated.

How to Use Options with Commands

Many commands take options that modify how the command works. These options are additional letters or symbols typed on the command line after the command.

A semicolon (;) separates the command and the option(s). Do not put a space between the command and the option(s); if you insert a space, the option will be interpreted as an argument.

Site Controller III

If both options and arguments (data) are used on a command line, the options come first, then a space, th en the arguments: command;options arguments

When more than one option is used with a command, the options may be listed in any order. Complex options (P1=, P2=, >, >>, <) are separated by commas.

The common options are:

A All. Usually expands the effect of a command. I Initialize. Usually initializes data affected b y the command. C C hain. Allo ws you to enter multiple sets (a cha in) of data to commands requ iring dat a. See below. P1=,P2=Parameter. Allows you to specify fields for sorting. Field name is given as data immediately following parameter; for exampl e, PRINT TRANSACTION;P1=AUTH would print a list of transactions sorted by authorization codes. > Redirect output to a new file. Saves output of a command in a file you specify. If the file already exists, that file is overwritten. Requires destination (file name or LOG) as argument. >> Redirect out put to an existing file. Output is appended to th e end of the specified f ile. Requires destination (file name) as argument. If a file does not exist, it will be create d. < Redirect input. Allows you to use a fi le as t he sour ce of in put to a command. Requi res source (file name) as argument. L Lines. Used with any command to page output for CRT screen. May also be used to set number of lines per screen (for example, L=20). Stays in effect for all subsequent commands until the user signs off or the L option is redefined by using it on another command. T T ext . Used in co mmand fil es inten ded to be r un from th e conso le so tha t single lines of text can be displayed on the console. H Home. Used with any command, clears from the current cursor position to the end of the screen and puts the cursor in the home position on a CRT.

Site Controller III

Disk-based commands use different options than those given here for systemresident commands. However, almost all the commands needed for everyday operation are system resident, and so they have the options and form described in this section.

How to Enter Multiple Blocks of Information

For the commands that enter data, the LOAD commands, for example, you can use the C option to enter multiple blocks of data with one command. Without the C option, only a single block can be entered with each command.

To use the C option:

• Type semicolon C (;C) after the command.

• The terminal will print a prompt each time you press ENTER. The amount

of data you can enter for each command is determined by the CFN3 configuration.

• When you have entered all the data, press ENTER once after the next prompt without entering any data.

To use the C option with the command LOAD HEADING, type: LOAD HEADING;C.

Figure 2-1: LOAD HEADING Command with C Option

P* LOAD HEADING;C ↵ Line number? 1 ↵ Heading line? SMITTY’S STATION ↵ Line number? 2 ↵ Heading line? 10 MAIN STREET ↵ Line number? 3 ↵ Heading line? SMITH,, WA 98000 ↵ Line number? 11 ↵ Footing line? THANK YOU ↵ Line number? 12 ↵ Footing line? PLEASE COME AGAIN ↵ Line number? 0 ↵

Form feed length? 5 Line number? ↵

↵

two commas typed

no data entered

The terminal continues to print prompts each time ENTER is pressed.

To enter a comma, type two commas on the third heading line (see Figure 2-1). One comma will be printed on the receipt.

End the sequence by pressing ENTER, without entering any data, after the last “Line number ?” prompt of the series (see Figure 2-1).

Page 33

How to Verify Commands

Some commands require verification before they are executed. These commands give you a chance to term inate the ac tion if you entered the command inadvertently.

If a command requires verification, the terminal will print the prompt Verify (y/ n)?. Type a Y to continue exec ution , or an N t o termi nate t he command. Do not type a Y unless you are sure the command does what you want to do.

Try not to get in the bad habit of typing Y automatically when prompted with Verify (y/ n) ? . Look at the command line you typed and think first.

Note that verification is not required when one of these commands is included in a command file.

How to Use Ranges with Commands

Most PRINT commands allow you to act on specified ranges of data.

• A range has the form N-M, which means numbers N through M. (In entering the command, actual numbers are substituted for N and M.)

• A -N means numbers from the beginning of the file through N.

• An N- means number N through the end of the file.

• An N means print only number N.

Site Controller III

If the starting number specifie d is not in the fi le, no data is printed. The pr intou t stops after the last number specified or at the end of the file if the ending number is not in the file.

You can specify more than one range for a command:

• PRINT TRANSACTION 23-150 prints transactions 23 through 150.

• PRINT TRANSACTION 23-150 200-250 prints transactions 23 through

150 and 200 through 250.

• PRINT TRANSACTION 23- prints transaction number 23 thr ough the end of the transaction file.

• PRINT TRANSACTION -5 prints transactions from the beginning of the file through transaction 5.

• PRINT TRANSACTION 34 prints only transaction number 34.

• PRINT TRANSACTION;P2=ACC=54, 1-10 prints transactions whose

account number starts with 54, in the transaction range 1 through 10.

The only PRINT commands that do not allow ranges are PRINT CARD, PRINT CONSOLE, PRINT DATE, PRINT PHONE, PRINT RECEIPT, and PRINT TIP. PRINT LOCKOUT does not allow ranges in syst ems wi th li mit ed lockout.

A Shortcut for Entering Data

Once you have become familiar with some of the commands, you may no longer need the prompts to remind you how to enter data. You can type the command and all the data you want to enter on one line before you press ENTER.

Separate i t ems with a co mma. To enter a comma as part of the text, type tw o commas. Remember that if you use the C option, you must press ENTER twice to enter and terminate the command.

The command and the data required for the command, with commas between items are typed, then ENTER is pressed twice.

P* LOAD HEADING;C 1,SMITTY’S STATION,10 MAIN STREET ↵ Line number? ↵

How to Use Disk-based Commands

Disk-based commands are programs that are stored on a disk. These commands are actually names of executable disk files. Therefore, if the file is stored on a removable (or floppy) disk, the disk must be present in the drive for the command to be run.

There are two types of disk-based commands: command files that contain a list of CFN3 commands and have the extension .CMD, and executables that have the extension .BIN. To execute either of these, a disk containing the corresponding CMD or BI N file mus t be in the SC III di sk drive , or the file must be present on the hard disk drive.

The SC III w i ll first look for the command in different places in the following order (known as the search path):

R: RAM drive . current directory P:BIN the .BIN directory on the hard disk

You must type the enti re command name, including the path, if the command is not in the RAM drive, the curren t directory, or P:BIN. Do not type the extension .BIN or .CMD. If the SC III cannot find a .BIN or . CMD file corresponding to what you typed, it will reply with the message unknown command. The site looks for .BIN first, then .CMD.

Redirecting Command Input and Output Site Controller III

Redirecting Command Input and Output

Normally commands take their input from th e keyboard and send their outp ut to the command terminal. You can use input and output redirection to cause commands to take their input from a file and put their output in a file.

You can use input and output redirection together. When you combine the redirection options with other options on the same command line, if the other options follow the redirection options, put a comma after the filename. For example,

PRINT PUMP;>filename,A may also be written as PRINT PUMP;A>filename

In any case, a blank space should always separate the command options from the arguments or data.

How to Redirect Input for a Command

The option for input redirection is <. You can create a file with data for a command, then execute the command with that file as input. For example, the file MESSAGES shown below contains data for the command LOAD MESSAGE. This example results in a moving message on the island card reader’s disp lay. The second column is the l engt h of time each line is displayed.

The command LOAD MESSAGE;<MESSAGES,IC executes the command LOAD MESSAGE with input from the file MESSAGES.

P* LOAD MESSAGES ↵ 1 3.00 Welcome to 2 3.00 Will’s Fast Fuel

3 3.00 Walla Walla,, WA 4 3.00 <---Slide Card <--5 0.20 <--6 0.20 <--7 0.20 <--8 0.20 <--9 2.00 Need Oil? 10 3.00 Oil is on sale! P*

How to Redirect Output from a Command

The options for output redirection are > and >>. These options differ in their effect on an existing file that is to receive output. The > option overwrites the contents of an existing file. The >> option appends data to the end of an existing file. For example, the command PRINT TRANSACTIONS;>TRANS puts the output of PRINT TRANSACTIONS in the file TRANS, deleting whatever was in the TRANS file.

The command PRINT TRANSACTIONS;>>TRANS appends the outp ut of the command PRINT TRANSACTIONS to the file TRANS.

Keyboard Control Characters

Keyboard control characters are used to edit the command line and to modify the effect of commands. They allow you to terminate commands, delete characters you have typed, and temporarily stop printout.

The following key combinations are described in this section:

CTRL-C CTRL-S CTRL-Q

CTRL-X DELETE BACKSPACE

Delete current line. Delete previous character(s) - printer terminal. Delete previous character - CRT or PC CFN3 terminal.

The L command option and the HELP command are also discussed next.

The CONTROL Key

As shown above, some functions are executed by using a combination of the CONTROL key (designated by CTRL or CTL on the key) and a specified character. To execute one of these functions, hold down CONTROL while you type the specified character.

Note: The use of the CONTROL key is indicated by a caret (^) before the character to be typed

while CONTROL is held down. For example, to enter a ^C, hold down CONTROL and type a C.

How to Terminate a Command

After you have typed a command and pressed ENTER, you can terminate the command in most cases by typing a ^C. (Remember, C for cease.) When you type a ^C with a print command the printout will stop at the point where the ^C was typed.

How to Delete Characters

Press the BACKSPACE key (or type a ^H) to delete the previous character. Press BACKSPACE as many times as necessary to delete the mistake, then type the correct characters. You must make the corrections before you press ENTER.

How to Pause Printout

A pause in printing is useful for viewing a printout on a CRT.

To temporarily pause pri nt in g wit hou t t er mi na ti ng a command , enter a ^S (S for stop) or pr es s the PAUSE key if you have a printer terminal. This will keep new lines from being printed.

To continue printing, enter a ^Q, or press ENTER, or press the PAUSE key again.

How to Pause Printout with the L Option

Use the L option to automatically pause printing after a specified number of lines have been printed. Press ENTER to print t he nex t group of lin es. If you do not speci fy a number, 24 lines will be printed.

T o use the L opt ion to spec ify page len gth, type a semi colon L (;L), followed by an eq uals sign and the desired number, after the command. For example, ;L=20 sets the screen length to 20 lines.

The L option will affect all subsequent print commands until you sign off. To remove the L option, type semicolon L=0 (;L=0) or semicolon minus L (;-L) after a command.

• Type: PRINT DIAGNOSTICS;L

P* PRINT DIAGNOSTICS;L

The terminal will print 24 line s each time the user press es ENTER, until all the dia gnostics have been printed

• Type: PRINT DIAGNOSTICS;L=20

P* PRINT DIAGNOSTICS;L=20

The terminal will print 20 line s each time the user press es ENTER, until all the dia gnostics have been printed

Permission Levels

Permission leve ls a re used for security a nd saf et y. By assigning appropriate permiss ion levels to users and to commands, you can make sure that users have access to only the commands they need to use.

In the default configuration, users with permission level 2 are allowed to activate only basic CFN3 commands. Users with permis sion l evel 1 0 are a llowed to act ivate al l CFN3 command s.

Remote Access Command Site Controller III

Remote Access Command

SYStem. Typing SYStem will take you to the NT operating system from the CFN3 application. Typing SYS does not change drives, it only allows you to see different drives on the PC. To return to CFN3 from NT, type EXIT. Do not add any additional extensions or commands such as SYS PJ or SYS TYPE. It is NOT advised to use this command whil e using the PC. When you need to execute NT commands on your PC, use a DOS window with a C: prompt or use Windows NT Explorer.

This command is designed for use from a remote signon when the PC cannot be accessed directly.

Optional Commands

Several of the commands shown on the help list, such as DISABLE FPR and ENABLE FPR, work only with the optional programs you may not have installed. If you try to run these commands without having installed the program, an error message appears.

The HELP Command

Type HELP to list all valid commands and options for the permission level you are signed on at. (The short form of the commands are shown in uppercase letters.)

The following illustration shows a printout for a user who has access to all commands. The number before each command is the number that runs that command from a console.

If you specify the first word of a command with the HELP command, only the commands th at start with that word will be printed. For example, HELP LOAD prints all the commands that start with LOAD.

If you type HELP * and the second part of a command, you will see all the commands whose second word starts wi th what you spe cified. For example , HELP * VEHI CLE (n ote th e blan k space before and after the *) prints all the commands whose second word is VEHICLE.

The A option with the HELP command shows each command prefaced with its command number.

3 – Users

Users

The system administrator is usually responsible for assigning a useridentification number and a sign-on code to each person who will need to use the SC III data terminal. Some systems also require users to sign on to the Check Point or Profit Point. For these, the system administrator is also responsible for assigning sign-on codes to people who use the console.

In its normal confi gur ation the SC III allows up t o 99 users; the default nu mb er is 5. Each user has three attributes, a user number (0 through 99), a sign-on code (a password) of up to 16 characters, and a permission level (0-10):

• User numbers identify users. They are also used in the output of PRINT HISTORY command to show which user executed which commands.

• Sign-on codes are used for sec uri ty. By controlling who knows the sign-on code, you can control who has access to your system. Several users can have the same sign-on code, or each user can have a different one.

• Permission levels a re used for secu rity and safe ty. By assig ning a ppropriat e permission levels to users and to commands, you can make sure that users have access to only the commands they need to use. In the default configuration, users with permission level 2 are allowed to activate only basic SC III commands. Users with permission level 10 are allowed to activate all SC III com mands.

User ID Numbers

There are two general systems of using user numbers. If there are fewer than 99 employees at a site, each employee can have his or her own user number. The drawback to this arrang ement, however, is that if there is a large turnove r in employees, keeping track of numbers through numerous rounds of adding and deleting users can be confusing.

A second system invol ves assigning numbers by user ca te gories, rather than by individua l users. Under this system, for exa mple, the sy stem administrator an d the site manager might have user number 3, with a permission level of 9; all other users are 2, with a permission level of, say, 1 or 2; and user number 1 is reserved for remote computers in host mode, as explained below.

Special User Numbers

There are two special user numbers: a default user number and a remote host user number. At the signon: prompt, each user will enter: #, password where # is the user’s number (0-99) and password is his or her password.

How to Add a User

User number 0 is the default user. When you sign on, you are required to enter both a password and a user number. The only exception is if you sign on with the password for user 0. With user 0’s password, you do not have to al so en ter 0 as your user number. User number 0 will automatically be assigned to you by the Site Controller. This is the most common way of signing onto the data terminal.

User number 1 is the default remote-host user number. By default, remote computers using CFN host-mode communications si gn on as user 1. If your si te will be connected to a remote CFN host we strongly recommend that you reserve user number 1 for use only by the remote host. You can set the permission level for user number 1 to whatever is appropriate. If you reset transactions from the remote host, or download prices or lockouts, or do maintenance, you probabl y need to give the remo te host a high permi ssion level, perhaps level 9.

Use the command ADD SIGNON or AD SIG to add a new user to the system. You also use ADD SIGNON to change a user’s permission level or sign-on code. You specify the user number, permission level, and sign-on code. Asterisks (*) are printed for each character of the sign-on code as you enter it.

For security, pick a sign-on code that is hard to guess. Do not use the site’s name, the user’s name, or any other obvious sign-on code. Sign-on codes may be up to 16 characters long and may include alphabetic, numeric, and special characters. Remember , the

↵ sign indicates t hat you a re to pr ess the ENTER key.

What you type in is shown in bold. Asterisks are echoed by the Site Controller in place of your password for security purposes.

User IDs that will be used to sign on to the Check Point console should have numeric sign-on codes, since the Check Point console does not have a convenient way to enter alphabetic characters.

Permission Levels

Every command is associated with a certain permission level. For commands that have the A or I options, the command used with the option may have a different permission level than the plain command. (See the chart in the Command permission levels chapter in MDE-4316 CFN III Configuration Manual for details.)

Command permission levels may be changed by using the disk-based configuration program PERM. Disk-based commands are assigned permission levels by the disk-based command SET_PERM.

Permission levels are usually assigned during the initial configuration of the system, but you should verify that the permission levels in use are appropriate for your system. See How to use permissi on level s be lo w for mor e infor mat ion.

See the MDE-4316 CFN III Configuration Manual if you need more information about assigning permission levels to commands.

MDE-4315 CFN Series CFN III Manager’s Manual for Windows NT · August 2004 Page 27

Page 44

Users

Four things determine whether a user has access to a command. They are: the user’s permission level, the command’s permission level, the position of the Site Controller manager keyswitch (not available at this time), and the position of the console keyswitch (if entering commands from a console).

• If a user has a permi ssion l evel th at is equal t o or gr eater t han the permissi on level required for a command, that user may execute that command.

• The manager keyswitch (not available at this time) is a way to temporarily increase the users’ permission level. The key, when inserted and turned clockwise until it stops, has a permission level associated with it. The manager key permission level is assigned by the disk-based configuration program SYS_PAR, and is usually assigned during the initial configuration of the system. When the manager key is inserted and fully turned, the permission level associated with the key is in effect for all users, except those users who already have a higher permission level.

• If a user is signed on to a console, the console keyswitch may also raise the user’s effective permission level. The permission level associated with each key, when inserted, will be in effect if it is higher than the user’s permission level. The key position permission levels are as follows:

Key Position Permission Level Check Point:

OFF 0 ON 1 SUPERVISOR 4 MANAGER 8

Profit Point, 5-p o s ition:

5 (automatically signs on user 2) user 1’s 4 (automatically signs on user 1) user 2’s 3 ON 1 2 SUPERVISOR 4 1 MANAGER 8

Profit Point, 3-p o s ition:

1 ON 1 2 OFF 0 3 MANAGER 8

How to Use Permission Levels

Permission levels can ensure Site Controller security.

Although we refer to user numbers and user permission levels, most sites will not have a separate u ser ID and sign-o n code for each pers on. Inste ad, most sites will probably rely on the console or manager’s keyswitch to set pe rmission levels for site personnel.

Page 28 MDE-4315 CFN Series CFN III Manager’s Manual for Windows NT · August 2004

Page 45

Users

It is probably more appropriate to think of Site Controller users as job functions rather than as individuals. For example, a typical attended site might have separate user IDs for cashier, supervisor, manager, and system configuration and maintenance. The permission levels for each might be as follows:

User Job User Permission Level

Cashier/Attendant 1 Supervisor 4 Manager 8 Maintenance/Programmer 9

Note that permission levels 1, 4, and 8 are the permission levels assigned by default to the console keyswitch positions.

Ideally, each user should have access to only the commands required for that user’s job. This requires careful plannin g. You must decide what commands ea ch level of user will n eed to u se, and assign permission levels to commands accordingly.

4 – Receipts, Messages, and Date

Date and Time

The system has a battery-back-up clock, and even after a power failure the clock maintains the correct date and time, so you normally will not have to enter the date. The Site Controller does not automatically adjust for daylightsavings time, so you will have to adjust the Site Controller’s clock manually if daylight-savings time is observed in your area.

Also, the Si te Controller’s clock can gain or lose time over a period, just as a watch can. You may need to adjust it periodically. For information on how to enter the date and time or display the date, refer to “How to Enter Commands

and Data” on page 13.

Receipt Heading and Footing

The receipt head ing is pr inted ab ove and the rec eipt foo ting is printed below th e body of each printed r eceipt. The informa tion in t he recei pt headin g and foot ing usually includes the name of the store or gas station, and may also include the address and some other m essages, such as Thank You and Please Come Again.

Note: If your site is connected to a financial network and allows debit

transactions, Federal regulations for receipts for electronic funds transfers apply. (These regulations are included in an appendix to this manual.)

Characters @C, @N, and @O

Note: The card reader device must support track 1 to make use of this feature.

The charac ters @C are used to cen ter text.

If the characters @N are found, the y will be rep laced by the customer’s name if known. The line will print regardless of whether or not the name has been found.

If the characters @O are found with the @N, the line will not be displayed unless the customer’s name is known.

How to Enter Receipt Heading and Footing

Use the command LOAD HEADING or LO H to ent er the hea din g and footing to be printed on the receipt and to enter the form fe ed length. The heading an d footing you load will print on all printers at the site.

MDE-4315 CFN Series CFN III Manager’s Manual for Windows NT · August 2004 Page 31

Page 48

Receipts, Messages, and Date

The number of receipt heading and footing lines allowed is determined by the Site Controller configuration. Each heading and footing line can have up to 24 characters. The form feed length is the number of blank lines between the last line of the receipt and the first line of the next receipt.

For a blank line, press the space bar and then ENTER after HEADING LINE? One blank line is automatically printed after the heading and one blank line is automatically printed before the footing.

LOAD HEADING;C (LO H;C)

P* LOAD HEADING;C Line number? 1 ↵ Heading line? SMITTY’S STATION ↵ Line number? 2 ↵ Heading line? 10 MAIN STREET ↵ Line number? 3 ↵ Heading line? SMITH,, WA 98000 ↵ Line number? 11 ↵ Footing line? THANK YOU ↵ Line number? 12 ↵ Footing line? PLEASE COME AGAIN ↵ Line number? 0 ↵ Form feed length? 5 ↵ Line number? ↵ P*

• Use line number 0 for the form feed length.

• Use 1 through 9 for the heading line numbers; line number 1 is the first

heading line, line number 2 is the second heading line, and so on.

• Use the line number plus ten for the footing line number; line number 11 is the first footing line, line number 12 is the second footing line, an d so on.

• For credit-card receipts printed by a console, use lines 20-29 to provide space for the customer’s signature.

↵

A single comma terminates an item, so to use a comma in your heading or footing, you must type two commas. You can use the C option with the command LOAD HEADING.

Form feed length is in lines. The user typed two commas on the third heading line. One comma will be printed on the receipt.

Special Printer Functions

If your site has island card readers equipped with the Novatronics or the Star® printers, you can create special effects on your receipts. Use the following special ch aracters to perform the special pri nter functi ons. Be awar e that other printers, including some stand-alone printers, ignore these characters.

effect).

The C and N options may be followed by any combination of B or E. B causes the text to be struck twice, giving a bold effect. E puts the print into expanded mode. The second footing line is the same as the first, so it will overstrike the same characters, causing a bold print effect.

LOAD HEADING;C (LO H;C)

P* LOAD HEADING;C Line number? 1 ↵ Heading line? {SMITTY’S STATION} ↵ Line number? 11 ↵ Footing line? THANK YOU ~ ↵ Line number? 12 ↵ Footing line? THANK YOU ↵ Line number? ↵ P*

↵

If you have other types of printers in addition to the Star printer, they will ignore the special characters. That means the first heading line will print normally, and the first t wo footing lines will be printed on differ ent lines ins tead of one on top of the other.

5 – Fuel Products

When you are creating products, you must make several choices about how you will set up your products, tanks, and price codes. Things to remember include:

• Fuel products are usually in category 1 or categories 1 and 2.

• The command LOAD FUEL lets you assign the product code, price code, and tank

number that will be used for a tra nsa ction. The command does this by letting you as si gn a product code, price code, and tank number to a hose.

• When fuel is pumped, the price charged is determined by the price code assigned to the

hose by LOAD FUEL. You do not need to assign a price to the product itself.

• A product is also assigned to a tank by LOAD TANK. The product you assign this way is

used only for the PRINT TANK report; it is not used for tra n sa ct ion s. To avoid confusion, you should usually assign the same product to a tank with LOAD TANK that is assigned with LOAD FUEL.

• If you charge different prices for the same type of fuel, you may want to create different

products in the system with the LOAD PRODUCT command. For example, if you have a bulk diesel pump that has a different price from diesel at the other pumps, you may want to set up a separ ate bulk di esel produ ct. Or, if you have so me pu mps on t he syst em that are full serve, you may want to set up separate full-serve and self-serve products. (Creating different products from the same fuel allows you to separate the products in reports. If you do not want to separate them in reports, you can use the LOAD PRICE command to create different price codes for the same fuel.)

• You normally do not need to use inventory tracking for fuel products. Use Tank inventory.

Fuel Products

How to Add or Change Fuel Products

Use the following procedure to add a new product:

• Make sure the produ ct information has been in it ia li zed with REMOVE PRODUCT ; A . Do

not use this command if you have already loaded product information into the system; it will clear all product information.

• Create a new product with LOAD PRODUCT;A. The product codes are used to assign

products to tanks and for f uel authorizat ions for propri etary cards. They are included in the transaction data, and in the product, sales, and totals reports. Each product is assigned a product code, product name, category.

• The low price and high price are not used fo r fu el produ cts. The ta x code for fuel pro ducts

is currently ignored (no tax), as taxes are included in the price.

• Assign products to pumps or hoses with LOAD FUEL. Price codes are also assigned to

pumps or hoses with this command.

Fuel Products

• The product code is used in transaction and pump printouts, and can be used for sorting printouts. Up to 99 products or departments are allowed. Fuel products are usuall y 1-10 or 20-29, wit h 30 and above for me rchandise products. If you are using a Profit Point POS, the department # is used as a base for the PLU file.

• The category is used for grouping products. For example, you could have fuel and merchandise categories. Category 1 is usually used for fuel products. You can print out spe cified categories with PRINT TOTALS, PRINT SALES, and PRINT PRODUCT.

• The product name is displayed on consoles and optionally, island card readers, and is printed on receipts and sales and product reports. It can be up to 12 characters long. Not all characters may print, so do not make the first digits of any two names the same or you will not be able to differentiat e b et ween the m on repor ts .

• The minimum price and maximum price are used for products that allow price override. For fuel products, they should both be 0.

• The tax code specifies which tax table to use for calculating taxes for a product. Taxes for fuel products are included in the price. If no taxes are to be added to the product, specify tax code 0.

How to Print Fuel-product Information

Use the command PRINT PRODUCT or P PRO to print the current product data. You can specify a range of products to print or, with the I option, you can specify a category to print.

The example below shows all products in category 1, which is the category usually used for fuel products. No high price has been entered, as is usual for fuel products, so the printout shows —No Override—. The 0.00 under Price means the pump price comes from the pri ce ta ble and is assigned with the LOAD FUEL command.

Fuel Product Inventory

Product inventory is ini tially d isabled. You may want to keep it disabled for fuel products, and just use the tank inventory, or you may want to enable product inventory so that invent ory information for fuel pro duct s a ppea rs in t he product information printout.

If you have the same product assigned to more than one tank, the inventory information in the pr oduct printout can be the tota l for all the tanks. If you have more than one product assi gne d to on e tank (such as diesel sold at two different prices), the inventory information in the product printout will not be very meaningful, so you should probably not enable inventory in this case.

When you use the commands ADD TANK and SUBTRACT TANK, the inventory for the corresponding products is also adju st ed if inventory recording is enabled. However, the ADD INVENTORY and SUBTRACT INVENTORY commands do not adjust the tank inventory, since more than one tank could be assigned the same product. This means that it is better to use the TANK commands to adjust inventory for fuel products.

The LOAD TANK command does not adjust the inventory for products, so enter 0 for the inve ntory when you do the L OAD TANK and use ADD TANK to enter the inventory amount when inventory is enabled.

Page 40 MDE-4315 CFN Series CFN III Manager’s Manual for Windows NT · August 2004

When the commands ADD or SUBTRACT TANK or INVENTORY are executed , the amoun t added or subtracted is logged.

If the site has tank gauges, the gauges can be set up to adjust product inventory, but such an arrangement is not required by the Site Controller.

Tank Commands

How to View Current Tank Inventory

To display the tank inventory for all tanks, use the command PRINT TANK or P TA. The terminal will display the tank number (T#), total quantity (Totals), and reorder level.

Tank and Pump Commands

In addition, if a CFN-compatible Tank Monitor

System (electronic t ank gauge) is installed on the tank and connected to the Site Controller, then the measured tank quantities and tank ullage will be displayed. Ullage is the amount of remaining space or unused capacity in the tank.

T# Tank number of tank. Product N ame of product stored in tank. Total Inventory quantity in tank. Reorder Reorder level at which a warning message will be logged. Gauge Measured quantity in tank according to Tank Monitor System (TMS). Diff Difference between inventory and measured quantities. % Difference expressed as a percentage over or short. Temp Measured temperature as reported by the TMS. Used by the TMS to

compute temperature-corrected gallons.

Ullage The amount of usable empty space remaining in the tank.

How to Add to and Subtract from Tank Inventory Counters

If a Tank Monitor System (TMS) is present, the site can be configured to automatically add deliveries that are detected by the TMS to the inventory totals. If your site has this capability, you will not need to add deliveries to inventory manually and to do so will produce an error in the totals.

You might wish to make this adjustment if a physical measurement of the fuel

Use the command LOAD TANK or LO TA to set the Site Controller tank inventory counters e qua l t o t he amoun t of fuel in the tanks. The qua nti ty should be in the same units (gallons or litres) that the pumps use. The Site Controller tank inventory counters decrement each time fuel is pumped.

The product code entered with the LOAD TANK command associates the tank with a product so inventory updates for that product can be done when the commands ADD TANK and SUBTRACT TANK are used. Inventory updates

Tank and Pump Commands

for products are done only if inventory keeping is enabled for the products, but inventory is always kept for tanks.

You can specify a product and reorder level with the LOAD TANK command. When the tank inventory level dips below the specified reorder level, the message Tank #xx Below reorder level is prin ted on the log prin ter. An aste ri sk (* ) next to the t ota ls i n the print out o f the PRI NT TANK command shows that the tank is below the reorder level.

The command LOAD TANK does not update the inventory for products, because there could be more than one tank with the same product. If you want to keep track of inventory for products, use the LOAD TANK command to enter the tank information, but enter 0 for the inventory level. Then use ADD TANK to enter the current inventory level.

When the ADD or SUBTRACT TANK commands are executed, the amount added or subtracted is logged.

The product codes e ntere d wi th the LOAD TANK command affect inventory, but do not a f fect transactions. The product codes and tank numbers entered with the LOAD FUEL command are the ones that are used for transactions.

Method-of-payment Pricing

Some sites want to char ge di ff erent pr ices f or fuel products depe nding on what sort of pay ment is offered. For example, the cash price for unleaded gasoline might be lower than the credit price.

The Site Controller stores these multi-level prices in a special table in its memory called the price table. Price codes are arbitrary numbers assigned to fuel products or hoses to link those fuels or pump table entries to entries in the price table.

The command PRINT PRICE (see below) allows you to see th e prices that have been assigned to existing price codes. Then the command LOAD PRICE can be used to change them.

MDE-4315 CFN Series CFN III Manager’s Manual for Windows NT · August 2004 Page 45

Page 62

Tank and Pump Commands

When pumps and fuel products are first set up on the system, price codes can be assigned directly to pumps and hoses using LOAD FUEL (the standard method for fuels).

Price codes assigned with LOAD FUEL appear in the PRINT PUMP report, not in PRINT PRODUCT.

After prices have been initially set up, in almost all cases prices for fuel products will be changed with the LOAD PRICE command, rather than with the LOAD PLU or LOAD PRODUCT commands that are normally used with merchandise.

Price Code Levels

If the pump used for a transaction has a price code assigned to it, then that price code is used, even if another price look up happens to be assigned to the product. The price charged is determined at the time of the transaction by the customer’s method of payment. Each price code can have multiple levels of prices, one for each method of payment that is accepted.

The Site Controller uses a number to refer to each price level. These numbers are fixed and cannot be changed. Values for particular price levels, such as debit and proprietary card, need to be loaded for particular price codes only if that method of payment is accepted for the product or pump assigned to that price code.

Level 0 Price level 0 is the default fallback price (though the Site Controller can be configured for a different

Level 1 Price level 1 is the cash price. It is charged when the CASH key on the console is pressed. Level 2 Price level 2 is the credit price. It is charged when the CREDIT key on the console is pressed or a

fallback price level). This is the price that is displayed on the pump. If no price is loaded for one of the other price levels, transactions that would normally be charged at that level will be charged at the fallback price. If you use only one price level, load only price level 0. Price level 0 must be loaded for every price code that is used.

credit card is run through the console card reader or an island card reader.

debit (automated teller) card is run through the console card reader or an island card reader.

Additional price leve ls, referred to as club prices, are a vailable for use with proprietary cards. If a price level is encoded on a proprietary card, that price will be charged. If no price level is encoded on proprietary cards, the credit price will be charged.

Note: You must always load a p rice f or at l east l evel 0 for ev ery pri ce code you use . The p ump

will be disabled if you do not load a fallback (level 0) price.

How to View Current Price Code Levels and Prices

Use the command PRINT PRICE or P PR. The terminal will display the price levels (Pl) and prices for each price code (Pc). Price codes are rows and price levels are columns.

Use the command LOAD PRICE or LO PR to enter price levels and prices for price codes. The number of price leve ls and pric es allowed i s determine d by the Site Controller configuration.

Tank and Pump Commands

If you are changing prices while the site is open for business, first shut down the site wit h the command STOP. This will allo w transactions in progress to finish, but prevent new transactions from starting while you are changing prices. When you have finished changing prices, use the command RUN to restart the site.

How to Change Price-code Prices

It is a good idea to write down or print existing prices before making changes, and again after making changes to check your work.

To change prices for a price code, use LOAD PRICE or LO PR to enter new prices for the price levels for that price code.

There are two methods for changing prices for price codes.

The first method is to enter the new price for each price code and price level that you wish to change. This method uses LOAD PRICE;C command.

MDE-4315 CFN Series CFN III Manager’s Manual for Windows NT · August 2004 Page 47

Page 64

Tank and Pump Commands

P* LOAD PRICE;C ↵ Price code? 1 ↵ Price level? 0 ↵ Price? 1.149 ↵ Price level? 1 Price? 1.169 ↵ Price level? 2 ↵ Price? 1.199 ↵ Price level? ↵ Price code? ↵ P*

↵

The other method is to enter the amount of the price change as a quantity to be added to or subtracted from the old price. This method can be used to raise or lower either all price levels of one price code or all price codes by a specified amount.

The form for the second command is LOAD PRICE code level change where:

• code is replaced by the pric e code(s ) to be changed ( either a numbe r or * for

all price codes),

• level is replaced by the level(s) to be affected (either a number or * for all

levels),

• change is replaced by a + or - sign and the amount of the change in dollars

and cents.

This example raises all prices for all codes (i ndicated by the first ast erisk after LOAD PRICE) and all levels (the second asterisk) by five cents.

All Codes All levels

P* LOAD PRICE * * +.05 ↵ P*

This next example subtracts two cents from all levels in price code 3.

P* LOAD PRICE 3 * -.02 ↵ Price level ? ↵ P*

Note: LOAD PRICE;I erases all price levels and price code prices for all

pumps that have been assigned price codes. This will disable all pumps. You must re-enter new prices for all price codes and re-enable all pumps with ENABLE PUMP after you use this command.

How to Delete a Price Code or Price Level

Use the command REMOVE PRICE or REM PR to delete one or more price levels for a given price code.

To delete an entire price code, delete all the price levels under that price code. Use the C option to remove more than one price code.

How to Set Up Day-Night Pricing

You can have day-night pricing by using the RECORD command or one of the editors to create command files that contain the LOAD PRICE commands for the day and night prices.

Pump Commands

How to Assign Products, Prices, and Tanks to Hoses

Use the command LOAD FUEL or LO FU to enter the product code, price code, and tank number to be assigned to each pump, or to each hose for multi-product dispensers (MPD

Pumps that dispense the same product may be assigned different price codes. For example, a full-service pump that dispenses unleaded regular fuel may be assigned a different price code than a self-service pump that dispenses the same fuel. Price levels and prices are assigned to price codes with LOAD PRICE.

The LOAD FUEL command allows you to specify different products, prices, and tanks for each hose on a pump. If the system uses MPDs, a pump is one side of the MPD. That is, each dollar and gallon display corresponds t o o ne pump. For regular dispenser s a nd pumps, there is one hose per pump. The pump, not the hose, is authorized for transactions.

7 – Merchandise Products

When you are creating product s, you must make several choices abo ut how you will organize your system and how you will handle pricing. Things to consider include:

• Do you want inventory levels shown in the product printout?

• Do merchandise products repr ese nt indi vid ual it ems, dep art ment s, or some

of each?

• Will the system use fixed prices or manually entered prices, or some of each? Will user override be allowed for fixed prices?

How to Add or Change Merchandise Products

Use the following procedure to add a new product.

• Make sure the p roduct information has been initialized with RE MOVE PRODUCT;A. Do not use this command if you have already loaded product information into the syste m; it will clear all product information.

• Create a new product with LOAD PRODUCT;A. Each product is assigned a product code, product name, category. If price override is allowed, or if prices are to be entere d at the time of the sale, products are assigned a low and high price.

• Use LOAD PLU to enter price look ups for products that have default or non-overridable pri ces .

• Use LOAD INVENTORY to enter the initial number of items or dollar inventory amount for products that will use inventory tracking. For dollar inventory, use ENABLE PRODUCT and specify type 4.

How to Create a New Merchandise Product

Use the command LOAD PRODUCT;A or LO PRO;A to create a new pr oduct . The command without the A option changes an existing product. If you use the command without the A option and name a product that does not already exist, the terminal will print an error message.

• The product code is used to add merchandise products to a sale when the product does not have its own key on the console. It can also be used for sorting printouts. Up to 99 products are allowed, including fuel and merchandise products.

• The category is used for grouping products. For example, you could have fuel and merchandi se c ategorie s. You can print out specified categor ies with PRINT TOTALS, PRINT SALES, and PRINT PRODUCT.

• The product name is displayed on consoles and is printed on receipts and sales and product reports. It can be up to 12 characters long. Visually only the first 5 digits are displayed in printouts, so do not make the first 5 digits of any two names the same or you will not be able to differentiate between them on reports.

• The minimum price and maximum price are used for products that allow price over ride. If override is not allowed, enter 0 for the maximum pr ice.

• The tax code specifies which tax table to use for calculating taxes for a product. Tax tables are loaded in the Site Controller configuration or by TAX.BIN. (The actual tax names are loaded with LOAD TAX.)

• Use LOAD PRODUCT;A t o cre at e a ne w product. Special products should be in their own category so they can be printed out separately.

• Give the product a descriptive name, such as WITHDR or REFUND.

• For cash-withdrawal special products, the minimum and maximum prices

are the minimum and maximum amounts that can be withdrawn in one transaction.

• For refund special products, the minimum and maximum prices are the minimum and maximum amounts for a refund.

• Special products do not normally have taxes.

• You do not need to enter inventory or prices for special products.

• Use ENABLE PRODUCT to make the product a special product. Specify

type 3 for a cash withdrawal produc t, t ype 2 for a payou t product, or type 1 for a refund product (see the Product attributes table on the next page).

command. The price can be preceded by a dollar sign but it is not needed. If you enter a High price with the LOAD PRODUCT command, the user can override the default price within the range of the low and high price fields. If you enter 0 as the high price, the conso le user cannot override the price and the product printout will show -No Override- in the price range fields.

• Manually Entered Price. If you do not enter a price for a product, or enter a price of $0,

the user must always enter the price within the range of the high and low price fields. If you have a price of $0, you must specify a high price.

Merchandise Product Inventory

Inventory for products is initially disabled. The commands LOAD INVENTORY and ADD INVENTORY enable inventory recording. You may also use ENABLE PRODUCT to explicitly enable inventory recording.

Inventory is normally ke pt by it em. You may specify that inventory be kept as a dolla r amount instead. This is also done with ENABLE PRODUCT.

Inventory amounts appear in the PRINT PRODUCT printout. You can use PRINT PRODUCT;A to see if inventory is enabled for product.

8 – Setting Up Tax Tables

The Three Tax Types

There are three tax types on the Site Controller:

• Each sales tax in most areas can be calculated as a percentage of the price of the items to which the tax applies. For all or mo st tax perce ntage rates , you are able to simply specify the tax rate and the rounding rule. Thes e t axe s a re called type 0 on the Site Controller, and they are the default type.

• Taxes that the law requires to be calculated according to a tax table are type 1.

• Type 2 taxes use a combination of percentage and tax table. The tax on the whole-dollar

amount of the price is calculated by multiplying by the tax’s percentage rate, and then a table is use d to calcula te the tax on any remaining fraction of a dollar ($.01-.99) of the price. For example, if the price of an i te m i s $10.4 5, the tax on $10 would be c al cul at ed as a percentage of $10, and the tax on the 45 cents would be looked up on a tax table by the Site Controller.

Setting Up Tax Tables

You can conf igure the CFN3 applic ation to r ecog nize u p to e ight d if fer ent t axes, d ependi ng on what the law in your area requires.

Tax Accumulators

The Site Controller can have up to eight tax accumul at ors , whi ch keep a running total of t axes collected in up to eight categories. Most sites will probably use only one or two. The tax percentages are specified in the Site Controller configuration. Taxes are assigned to products with LOAD PRODUCT. Each time a taxable product is sold, the tax is calculated, charged to the sale, and credited to the correct tax accumulator.

Cumulative tax totals a re also maintained. The cumulative tax accumulators are reset by RESET TOTALS;A or RESET TOTALS;I.

How to Reset Cumulative Tax Totals

Cumulative tax totals are automatically reset with other totalizers when the RESET TOTALS;A or RESET TOTALS;I command is run.

Tax as Percentage

If the tax laws in your area allow type-0 tax calculations for all items-and most areas do allow this, you do not need to use this chap ter. Inst ea d, refer to the Tax Rate and Tax Rounding Boundaries parameters on menu 3 of the CONSOLE configuration program (which is discussed in MDE-4316 CFN III Configuration Manual) for instructions on setting up a type 0 tax.

For each product you define th rough the LOAD PRODUCT command , you will use CONSOLE to specify the tax that applies. Tax rates are specified in hundredths of a percent. For example, a 7.8 percent tax is specified as 780, though it displays as 7.80.

You can also sp ecify the upwa rd roun din g breakp oint, i n tent hs of a cen t (whic h is hundredths of a dollar). For example, if taxes are to be rounded up at $.005 and down below $.005, you will use CONSOLE to enter a 5 for the tax round ing boundary.

Note that tax rates and tax rounding boundaries are ignored if the tax tables are loaded using the TAX program.

When to Use Tax Tables Setting Up Tax Tables

When to Use Tax Tables

Setting up tax tables is a complicated procedure, so use tax tables only if the law in your area requires them. If you are required by your local or state tax laws to use a tax table instead of tax percentages , read th rough t his ent ire chap ter car efully b efore starti ng to con struct the tabl e; then come back to the beginning of the chapter and start to work.

For each different tax lookup table the law requires you to use, use the TAX program explained in this chapter to build a tax table. The table you build through the TAX program is similar to the kind traditionally used in many point-of-sale (POS) termina ls and cash registers.

You may set up 1-8 different taxes using these tables. Determine how many tax lookup tables you need to build. Then for each one, follow the instructions in the remainder of this chapter.

Setting Up Tax Tables How to Set Up a Tax Table

How to Set Up a Tax Table

There are five major steps involved in setting up a tax table:

“1. Prepare a Compressed Description of Tax Data” on page 66

“2. Allot Stora ge Space for Your Tax Information” on page 69

“3. Assign a Tax Number and Name to Each Table” on page 70

“4. Build a Tax Table” on page 70

“5. Back Up Your Tax Data” on page 73

This chapter explains how to complete all those steps. It also explains how to use TAX to print your tax information and how to update a tax table when tax rates change.

1. Prepare a Compressed Description of Tax Data

If your local taxing authorities require a tax lookup table, Gasboy or your local distributor may alre ady have a compressed (short a nd concise) description of it . Otherwise, use the ins t ructions in this section to compose a compres sed description of each tax table you will use. (An example of a compressed description follows item 7 in the list immediately below.)

1 Obtain a complete tax lookup table from the taxing authorities. Using the

instructions in this section, you will examine your tax table and prepare a compressed description of it. Then you will enter the compressed description into the CFN3 software.

2 You will need to determine what type of tax table you are using, type 1 or type

• Type 1 taxes are determined from a lookup table only.

• Type 2 breaks the taxable amount into two parts. The first part is a whole

dollar amount, with its tax calcul ated at a percentage, poss ibly rounded. The second part of the taxable amount is the remainder after the whole dollar amount is taken out. Its tax is calculated by the table lookup (similar to the type 1 lookup table). The total tax is the sum of the tax on the two parts.

3 Construct a worksheet fo r the tax table. Include the following columns (refer to

the sample graphic that follows):

From In this column, write the low amount in each range of taxable amounts

Page 66 MDE-4315 CFN Series CFN III Manager’s Manual for Windows NT · August 2004

for which a constant tax amount applies. For example, a customer may pay a tax of $0.03 on any sales amounts from $0.46 to $0.63. You will place $0.46 in the From column for that range.

Page 83

How to Set Up a Tax Table Setting Up Tax Tables

To In this column, write the high amount in the range, for example, $0.63 in

the example immediately above. Tax For each range, write the tax charged on the amounts in the range. Amt Diff Subtract the From amount of the preceding range from the From amount

of the current range, and write the result in this column. Tax Diff Subtract the Tax amount on the preceding row from the Tax amount on

the current row, and write the result in this column.

The sample graphic below shows information from a typical tax table. The columns labeled From, To, and Tax correspond to the columns on a tax table like those issued by taxing authorities. The columns labeled Amt Diff and Tax Diff have been calculated from the tax table information. The Tax Diff is usually a constant. Note that in the sample tab le, it is always $0.01.

Setting Up Tax Tables How to Set Up a Tax Table

4 Complete your worksheet, indicating the amount differences and the tax

differences for each range of taxable amounts.

5 Examine the Amt Diff column on the sample worksheet. Note that there is a

regular pattern. Five $0.18 taxable amount increments are followed by one $0.19 increment, the n there are four $0.18 inc rements, an d one $0.19 increm ent. This pattern repeats-or loops-itself eight times. Now examine the Amt Diff column of your worksheet. Try to find a repeating pattern in the tax amount increments.

6 Fi nd a repeatin g pattern to the incre ments in th e Tax Diff column (it may be that

they are alw ays the same, as in the sample).

7 Then find a single repeating pattern that accounts for the increments in both Diff

columns. If the in cre ments in the Tax Diff column are not all the same, this may be more difficult, and the pattern will almost certainly repeat itself less often. You will use the repeating patterns you find to build the tax table through the TAX program.

To compose your compressed description, write down:

• The tax number (1-8: defined in configuration).

• The tax type. For tax tables, it is type 1 or 2.

• The method for figuring taxes on amounts that exceed the largest amount in

the table: you can us e a f ixed r ate wi th a r ounding ru le, or you can app ly the table to the excess amounts.

• The tax inc r ement; almost always 1 cent.

• The smallest taxable amount.

• The formula for determining the individual entries in the table. You do this

by means of three TAX program commands: increment, loop, and end loop.

An increment tells the TAX program an Amt Diff and a Tax Diff and the number of consecutive times to apply those differences. For example, in the sample worksheet, the firs t Amt Dif f is 0.18 , and that dif feren ce occurs f ive consecu tive times. For the sample t abl e, and for mos t ta x ta bles, the tax increment is always $0.01.

A loop tells the TAX program to repeat the commands within the loop the number of times you specify. You start a loop with a loop command and end it with an end loop command. So, when two or more increments occur in a repeating pattern, you can describe the repeating pattern in terms of a loop. Loops may be nested-that is, the steps repeated by a loop may include other loops.

An end loop terminates the last l oop that wa s start ed. Thus, if ther e are two loo p commands and then an end loop, the end loop will terminate the second loop. Another end loop is required to terminate the first loop.

Page 68 MDE-4315 CFN Series CFN III Manager’s Manual for Windows NT · August 2004

Page 85

How to Set Up a Tax Table Setting Up Tax Tables

A compressed description of the sample table follows:

• Tax number: 1

• Tax type: 1

• Tax increment: 1 cent

• Smallest taxable amount: $0.10

• Loop 8 times

Increment taxable amount by $0.18 and tax by $0.01 five times Increment taxable amount by $0.19 and tax by $0.01 one time Increment taxable amount by $0.18 and tax by $0.01 four times Increment taxable amount by $0.19 and tax by $0.01 one time End loop

The sample table is a simple example. In your table, you may have a nonrepeated sequence of increment commands before the first loop. Or, you may have many loops, or loops within loops. Or, you may have a non-repeated sequence of increment commands at the end of the table, after all loops are ended.

Most tax tables should reduce to a compressed description. However, if you encounter some difficulty, consult your salesman or distributor for help.

2. Allot Storage Space for Your Tax Information

The CFN3 software already ha s ei ght rec o r ds i n it s s tor age space for its 1-8 tax rates, and it must create additional records for the informat ion in your ta x tables.

When you have a compressed table description, count the additional records it will require. Allow one additional record for each of the following:

• The table beginning.

• Each increment command.

• Each loop command.

• Each end-loop command.

• The end of the table.

After you have prepared a compressed description of all your tax tables, determine the total number of additional records you will need for all of them. Then add eight to your total. This gives the total number of records you need for your tax.

You may use up to 200 records for tax. If your total is larger than 200, consult your ASR or distributor to help you reduce the commands in your compressed descriptions.

When you have determined the number of records you need, use the TABLE program to define the n umber of re cords i n tabl e numb er 27, t he tax table (ref er to MDE-4316 CFN III Configuration Manual for instructions). Be sure your total includes the orig inal eight r ecords required by the CFN3 software and all the additional records required for your tax tables.

Setting Up Tax Tables How to Set Up a Tax Table

3. Assign a Tax Number and Name to Each Table

Use the LOAD TAX command to assign a tax number (1-8) and name for each table you will use. Be sure you also assign a number and name to each of the taxes you want the CFN3 software to calculate as percentages with a rounding factor-that is, those taxes for which you do not need to build a table.

4. Build a Tax Table

The example that follows shows the prompts and user responses to enter the sample table into the CFN3 software. After entering the compressed description, the user requests a printed summary of the table, then quits and saves the table.

Study the sample and compare it with the compressed description to help you see how to use the TAX program.

If you respond with n at the All tax increments one cent prompt, you will subsequently be prompted for the tax increment amount after each Increment how many times? prompt. Otherwise, the command assumes that one cent applies to all increments.

Note that the printed summary is a representation of the commands (increment, loop, and end loop) that defined the table.

The Loop Level column shows each loop. A plus sign (+) marks the beginning and end of the loop, and a dashed vertical line extends over the interior of the loop. If there were loops nested within loops, other pairs of plus signs and dashed lines would be printed, indented so they would not overlap.

The Rec Nbr column shows the number of each record in the table.

The Record Type column lists each command in the table.

The Apply Times column shows the number of times the command is to be applied. For increment com mands, this m eans the numb er of rows for whic h the specified increments apply. For loops, this means the number of times the commands inside the loop are to be repeated.

The Amount Increment column sho ws the smallest taxable amount, and for the increment commands, it shows the increment from the Amt Diff column of the worksheet.

The Tax Increment column shows the increment from the Tax Diff column of the worksheet.

TAX Program: Options and Arguments

You can use several options and ar guments with TAX when you initially run the program. The table below shows the options preceded by a semicolon and the arguments preceded by a dash.

To enter an option, type a semicolon, then the option letter. To enter an argument, type a space, then a dash, then the argument character. Options and arguments for TAX are not case sensitive. That means you may type them in uppercase or lowercase. They are shown below in uppercase.

-R Used with this argument, TAX prints all information from the tax rate table in a raw form suitable for the

preceded by its help message. You can print the help message again by entering a question mark (?) in response to the prompt when it appears again. This mode is useful if you have not run TAX many times.

If you specify an option not on thi s li st , TAX will print Invalid option and quit. If you specify an argument not on this list, it will print a list of valid options and arguments, then quit.

When you are ready to build your tax table, use the TAX program. The following paragraphs list the prompts that TAX displays and explains how to respond to them.

Tax number, P, P#, T, T#, or Q to quit?

• Enter a tax number to create or edit a table for that tax code number. (Remember that you must already have assigned, with the LOAD TAX command, the number you enter to create a new table.) If you enter a tax number, the next prompt appears.

• Enter P to print a summary of all taxes whose names have been loaded with LOAD TAX. The summa ry is the same report tha t prints if yo u use the -P argument with the TAX program.

• Enter P# to print a summary of the specified tax (specify the tax’s number in place of the # sign).

• Enter T to print a tax table. Then, in response to the next prompt, enter the number of the table you want to print. You can compare this printout with the tax ta ble you o btained from the taxing authorities or a bank to verify that the tax has been entered correctly.

• Enter T# to prin t a table of the specified tax (specify the table’s number in place of th e # sign).

• To exit the program, enter Q or press RETURN.

Tax type, Q to quit, RETURN for same?

• Enter 0, 1, or 2 to specify the tax type for the tax number you entered. The default is zero.

• 0 (zero) indicates a tax rate with rounding. If the tax number you specified had been

defined as a type 1 or 2, entering a zero here redefines it as a type 0. For taxes of type 0, TAX does not do anything other than set tax type and table maximum.

• 1 (one) indicates a table created through a compressed description (as explained in this chapter). The program continues the prompts through Smallest taxable amount (cents)? Then it begins at the point where it was when you last entered data for the table. You can add commands to the end of the table or delete commands from the end of the table.

• 2 (two) indicates a tax that is calculated as a percentage of the whole dollar amount, and then uses a lookup table for any remaining cents Press RETURN to use the same type-that is, to indica te you are not changing the t ax t ype .

If the tax number is type 0, the program returns to the first prompt. Zero is the default type, so if you have not defined the tax number as a type 1 or 2, it is a type 0.

• To exit the program, enter Q.

How to Set Up a Tax Table Setting Up Tax Tables

Enter command (I, L, E, Q, D, P, M, or S)?

This prompt will be repeated until you enter Q to quit. Enter the commands, in order, that define the compressed description of your tax table. Each command you enter causes the program to ask for other information:

• Enter I to give an increment command. You will be prompted for the number of times the increment applies and the taxable amount increment (Amt Diff on your worksheet).

• Enter L to start a loop. You will be prompted for the number of times to repeat the commands that occur before the end loop command. (The program will not allow you to quit until you end all the loops you start.)

• Enter E to end the last loop that was started.

• Enter Q to quit the program. You will be asked whether or not you want to save the

changes you have made to the table . You may respond with Y to save the changes, N not to save the changes, or P to print t he curre nt table definit ion so y ou can decide whe ther or not to save it. (Remember, you cannot quit if there are loops that have been started but not ended.)

• Enter D to delete the last command you e ntered, in cludin g your respon ses to the c ommand prompts. If you enter D again, the previous command is deleted. You can continue entering D until you delete as many entries as you wish, back to the Smallest taxable amount prompt.

• Enter P to print the curren t tabl e defini tion so you can revie w it. Ref er back t o the exampl e for a sample printout of the table definition.

• Enter M to modify a record. You will be asked for the number of the record t o be modified, then you can change that record’s smallest taxable amount.

• Enter S to see a display of the table ’s status showing the record size and the number of records used and available.

If you want to quit the program without saving any changes or ending your loops, use ^C (press and hold the CTRL key, then press C).

5. Back Up Your Tax Data

After you have used the TAX program to enter a tax table, run SYSBACK to back up the data.

9 – Reports, Cash Drawer and Shifts

Note: The material covered in this chapter is not the same as the material in

the Point of Sale and Shift Change manual. For example, the reports discussed in this chap ter conta in dollar and quantity amoun ts of fuel and merchandise; the Point of Sale and Shift Change reports include everything that occurred at a site during a shift or day.

Note: The following similar commands are not identical in their functions:

NEXT SHIFT and NEXTSHFT, NEXT DAY and NEXTDAY, LOAD DRAWER and LDDRAWER, ADD DRAWER and ADDDRAWER.

Reports

The Site Con troller maintains sales totals for the last three shifts, the current shift, dail y totals for t he current and previous days, and cumulative totals.

The shift totals are changed when a shift change is entered with the LOAD SHIFT, NEXT SHIFT, and NEXT DAY commands. Up to a total of nine shifts can be loaded.

The daily totals are reset with the RESET TOTALS command. This command moves the cu rrent daily totals to the previous day’s totals.

The daily, cumulative, and shift totals are reset to zero with the A option (RESET TOTALS;A). The I option (RESET TOTALS;I) resets only the cumulative totals to zer o.

Each transaction is entered in three places: daily totals, c urrent shift totals, and cumulative totals. See the chart below.

The cumula tive, current day, and current shift to tals are running totals, and they are added to whenever a sale takes place. All other totals are buffered totals. The RESET TOTALS command resets the buffered totals to zero.

Cash drawer totals are also kept for one day’s worth of shifts plus the current shift. Sales totals and cash drawer totals are usually pri nted at shif t-change time, but they can be printed at any time, since the totals are available until the next day’s shifts.

Figure 9-1 shows the relationships between the various types of totals.

How to Print Sales Reports

Use the command PRINT SALES or P SA to print the total cash, debit, club, and credit sales in dollars from the time the total was last reset. The shift, daily, and cumulative totals can be printed with the command PRINT SALES.

The default printout format includ es the current-shift totals and the cumulative totals, which are the totals since you last used the RESET TOTALS;A or RESET TOTALS;I command. (The examples in this chapter assume that the RESET TOTALS;A command is used every 24 hours or so.)

Products that have zero amounts all the way across are not displayed. Also, totals are not shown for subcategories that have only one entry.

Note: In the printouts, the product names in the PRODUCT column are the names assigned

the product codes with the command LOAD PRODUCT. Product codes are assigned to tanks with the command LOAD TANK. Product codes are assigned to pumps or hoses with the command LOAD FUEL. Product names and tank assignments in the examples may be different from those in your system

You can use PRINT TOTALS with any combinations of the A option and the I option and ranges, to print quantity and dollar totals for specified periods and products or categories. Separate the periods and the ranges of products or categories with a comma. For example: PRINT TOTALS;AI 3,2 prints q uantity and dollar totals for previous shift 3, category 2; PRINT TOTALS;AI YD,1-5 prints yesterday’s and today’s daily quantity and dollar totals for categories 1 through 5; and PRINT TOTALS;A 123,1-5 prints quantity and dollar totals for the previous shifts 1, 2, and 3 for products 1 through 5.

How to Print a Sales Summary Report

The PRINT SUMMARY or P SU command pr ints a short ened form of the sales report. This format includes only dollar totals by type of payment.

This repor t is generated from the same inform ation used i n the PRINT SALES and PRINT TOTALS commands and is also affected by the RESET TOTALS and LOAD SHIFT commands.

The command PRINT SUMMARY with no options prints the current shift and cumulative totals.

How to Reset Sales Totals

The command RESET TOTALS or RE TO resets the daily totals. It moves today’s totals to yesterday, clears today’s totals, and marks the begin time for each product and payment type. If so configured, the command also moves the running cum ulative to tals to the previous shift 3, where the totals are buffered.

RESET TOTALS affects the daily totals printed by PRINT SALES, PRINT TOTALS, PRINT SUMMARY, PRINT QUANTITY, and PRINT DRAWER.

Execute this command daily, at the beginning of the daily accounting period.

RESET TOTALS (RE TO)

P* RESET TOTALS Verify (y/n)? Y ↵ P*

Use the command RESET TOTALS;A or RE TO;A to reset the daily, previous shift, and cumulative sales totals (including tax totals) to zero. It also sets the shift to one and clears totals.

Y ou mig ht use this co mmand to reset the cumul ative total at the beginning of the fiscal year, for example. (The maximum total the Site Controller can accommodate is $999,999.99, then it starts at zer o agai n.)
