2. Getting Started
Place the QTouch 15 on a stable or even surface. Use it only within the operating temperature
range (see technical data) and protect it from splashes and high humidity.
The QTouch 15 come with an external power supply. First, please check if the specifications
printed on the label fit your local voltage. If so, connect the power pack to the QTouchPC. The
power plug is at the rear next to the interfaces. Now connect the power supply with the power
circuit and turn on the QTouch 15 with the main switch.
The QTouch 15 will now load the operating system and automatically launch the cash register
program. You may immediately start working with your new system.
3. Sign in and Register
3.1 Sign in a Clerk/Sales Person
A clerk is the person who is working on the point-of-sale and performing registrations. Before
starting any transaction, it is necessary to sign in a clerk. Now all sales and actions can be
assigned to each single clerk in the reports. Furthermore, it is possible to define individual access
rights for each clerk (e.g. for refund or program modifications).
Sales persons are employees who do not work directly at the but their sales data should also be
saved in the reports. This can be used to calculate commissions, for instance.
To sign in a clerk or sales person you may use either a Dallas-Key or the keyboard. The key has
the advantage of security, because each key is unique and cannot be duplicated. To sign in, simply
place your key on the respective magnetic lock. As long as the key is attached, you are logged into
the system. If you remove the key, you will automatically log out. The QTouch 15 is blocked until a
clerk signs in again.
To sign in with the keyboard it is necessary to have a dedicated clerk button on the keyboard. If
you push this key, you will see a list of all programmed clerks. Use the scroll keys or enter a
number to select a certain clerk. Alternatively, you may also enter the clerk number directly on the
clerk button or define a dedicated key for each clerk. Depending on the programming, it may be
necessary to enter an additional code number to sign in.
Example:
Clerk
1
10
#
Enter
code number
Clerk
#
2

2 1
3.2 Register a Department
Department keys may be used either to enter free prices or to select PLU’s from a list. If you press
a department key without entry, you will see a list with all PLU’s which are linked to that
department. Use the scroll keys or enter a number to select a certain PLU from that list.
If you wish to register an undefined price for a department,
just enter the price with the numeric keys and press the
respective department key.
Example: Register 2.00 EUR in department 3:
3
00
CUSTOMER LOGO
1 Department 2,00
---------------------------
1 Total 2,00
CASH 2,00
3.3 Register Pre-Programmed PLU’s
Pre-programmed PLU’s are registered by entering the respective number on the PLU key. The preprogrammed price and the description are now read from memory. Alternatively, you may also
program direct keys for certain PLU’s on the keyboard. You only need to press one key for
registering a PLU.
If you are working with scan codes, you may either enter
the code number by keyboard or use a barcode scanner.
In that case, you do not need to press any additional key –
the PLU will be registered directly.
Example: Register PLU number 123:
CUSTOMER LOGO
1 PLU23 5,00
---------------------------
1 Total 5,00
Cash 5,00

3.4 Enter a New Price
It is possible to change the price of a PLU for a transaction. Simply enter the new price and press
the key “New price” before entering the PLU. This is valid for both scanning as well as manual
entry.
Example: Register PLU number 1 with new price of 2.00 EUR:
PLU
New

3.5 Create a PLU during the Sale
Occasionally, a clerk may have to enter a new item, which has not been programmed in the data
base of the POS. If this happens, the QTouch 15 will automatically prompt you to create this item.
Press the “Sub total” key to confirm or the “Clear” key to exit the prompt.
Once confirmed the QTouch 15 will ask you for the price. Upon entry of the price, press the “Sub
total” key again to confirm. Then enter the department to which the PLU is linked and press
Subtotal to confirm.
If the system has been programmed to allow for the creation of new PLU names during
registration, you will be asked to enter a name for the PLU. Alternatively, the PLU will assume the
name of the department that it is linked to.
After confirmation with the Subtotal key the new PLU will be stored in memory for future
transactions.
Example: Create PLU number 123 – Coke – with price of 1.50 EUR, linked to department 3:
3
If the PLU is not yet programmed, you will be prompted to create it now:

3.6 Multiplication/Division
Instead of pressing the same item repeatedly, you may
use the “Multiplication” key. First, enter the quantity to be
rung up, followed by the “Multiplication” key and then the
item.
Depending on the programming, the “Multiplication” key
can also be used for division. First enter the numerator and
press the “Multiplication” key. Now enter the divider and
press “Multiplication” again. Finally, select the
corresponding PLU or department.
Example: Register 5 x 3.50 EUR in department 1:

registration of his items and you wish to tend on the next
customer. Press the “Hold” key to save the open receipt.
By pressing the “Hold” key again and the old receipt will be
recalled.
Please note that all transactions on hold must be closed
before a Z-report can be performed!

programmed on the keyboard, usually CASH, CHECK and CARD. Additional tenders may be
programmed if necessary.
It is recommended to press the “Subtotal” key before tendering, to have the possibility to check the
subtotal and to enter the tendered amount. The QTouch 15 will then automatically calculate the
change owed to the customer.
Example: 1.00 Euro CASH payment:

Generally, it is also possible to split the subtotal to different
tenders. After each tender the QTouch 15 will show the
short amount on the display.

3.9 Tendering in Foreign Currency
In addition to the local currency the QTouch 15 can operate with different foreign currencies, which
are saved separately in the reports.
Just press the “FCE” key instead of Subtotal to convert the
total amount in a pre-programmed foreign currency. On the
display the new amount in foreign currency will now
appear. Select a tender as described above and the
change amount will be calculated either in local or in
foreign currency, depending on programming.

“Receipt on/off” key. To reactivate the printer, simply press the “Receipt on/off” key again. In any
case you can print a receipt copy by pressing the “Sub total” key after a sale.
3.11 Time and Date
If all receipts are closed, you can view the current time and date in the display by pressing the
“Multiplication” key. Depending on the programming this information will be shown automatically
after a certain time has passed. All models with graphical display can also show a programmable
customer logo.
3.12 No Sale / Open Drawer
The No Sale function allows you to open the cash drawer
without registering a sale. You can check the number of
times a No Sale function has been performed in the
reports.
The “No sale” key can also be used as a reference key.
To print a specific reference number on a receipt, enter the

5. Discounts, RA and PO
5.1 Percentage Discount/Surcharge
Discounts are price deductions on single items or on the sub total of the receipt. To enter a
discount, first ring up the item, then enter the discount percentage and press the “%(-)” key. If the
discount should be valid for the entire receipt, press the “Subtotal” key first and then enter the
percentage on “%(-)” key.
Likewise discounting items is also possible to order
surcharges. In that case please use the function “%(+)”.
In both cases the percentage values can be preprogrammed to avoid mistakes and manipulation.
Furthermore, it is possible to block single or subtotal
discounts and to set maximum limits.
Example: Percentage discount of 10% to PLU 2:
CUSTOMER LOGO
1 PLU 1 10,00

5.2 Amount Discount/Surcharge
Similarly, it is possible to use amount rebates. The only
difference is that no percentages are calculated but rather
total amounts such as coupons are subtracted/added.
Enter the amount directly after the item or the subtotal and
press the “(-)” or “(+)” key to subtract or add the entered
amount from/to the actual price. Amount discounts and
surcharges can be pre-programmed or blocked in the
same way as percentage rebates.
Example: Discount a pre-programmed COUPON amount
from the total:

5.3 Received on Account / Paid Out
Cash can be paid out of the cash drawer for special purposes, such as petty cash, etc. This is
referred to as a “Paid Out” (PO). Conversely, cash can also be added to the cash drawer. This
transaction is known as “Received on Account” (RA). Adding more cash to the cash drawer is
another example of “Received on Account”.
In both cases enter the amount first and then press either the key “RA” or “PO”. Depending on the
programming of the the operation will be automatically finalized with the Cash key or can be
continued as a normal receipt.
Example: 25.00 EUR Received on account:

6. Using Shift Levels
6.1 PLU/Department Shift
The PLU/department shift is a preset function to switch all article- and department keys to a
second level. This is done by adding a pre-programmed offset to the actual PLU or department
number. Please note that the shift is valid for the very next item, it will be automatically reset
after entry. It is also possible to block the shift for either PLU’s or departments.
6.2 Price Shift
The QTouch 15 allows for more than one sales price for each PLU. This is a useful function for
special occasions, such as Happy Hour or item promotions. You may program an automatic price
shift based on a time period or manually change the price shift via key entry.
First select the price level by pressing the corresponding key. Then, enter the PLU. Depending on
the programming the price level will be reset automatically after an item, a transaction or not at all.
In that case you must reset the price level manually by choosing another keyboard level.
By using price levels it is also possible to realize tax shifts. In such a case the second price level
has the same price but a different tax rate.
Example: Shift to price level 2 and register PLU 1:
Price
level 2
1
PLU
6.3 Tax Shift
As an alternative to the tax shift via price levels, there is a preset function to activate or deactivate
certain tax rates directly.
Just press the corresponding “Tax” key to activate or deactivate a certain tax rate.
Depending on the programming the tax shift will be reset
automatically after an item, a transaction, or not at all. In
that case you must reset the tax manually by pressing the
respective tax key again.
Example: Shift to tax 3 and register PLU 1:

6.4 Keyboard Levels
Keyboard levels are used to change the complete programming of the keyboard. As a result it is
not only possible to change PLU- and department keys, but all functions. It is therefore very easy
to activate time- or season-dependant actions and functions without re-programming the POS.
Depending on the programming, the keyboard level will be reset automatically after an item, a
transaction, or not at all. In that case you must reset the keyboard level manually by choosing
another level with the corresponding key.
Please make sure to program keys for resetting the level in all keyboard levels. Otherwise it
is not possible to reset a certain level manually.
7. Balance Functions (Tables)
7.1 Open and Close a Balance
Tables are used to temporary store several open balances. This function is mainly used in
hospitality settings in order to save and sort all items per table. Furthermore, it can be used in
hotels to save room accounts or in retail applications to save accounts per customer. The QTouch
15 therefore support three independent memory configurations for tables, rooms and accounts.
The functionality of these configurations is same. Therefore they are all assigned to Balance
functions. In this manual all functions are described under the heading of tables. However, all of
them are operated the same way regardless it they are tables, rooms or accounts.
To save a table, assign a certain number to the open receipt. Usually this number must be entered
before the initial order. Depending on the programming it is also possible to enter this number at
the end of the transaction and book the receipt to tables afterwards.
You may either enter the table number directly and press the ”Table” key afterwards or press the
“Table” key first and select a table number with the cursor keys thereafter.
Example: Open table 1:
1
Example: Select table from the list:
TABLE
Once you completed the current order, you may close the table by pressing the “Table” key again.
All items are saved to the table memory now. Depending on the programming certain items will be
sent to the kitchen printer.

7.2 Print the Invoice
To invoice a table you must re-open it first. All ordered
items and the subtotal will be displayed. Now press the key
“Print Invoice”.
You may choose to finish the table immediately by
payment or receive a proforma invoice. This allows the
customer to check the invoice first and select a payment
media. After printout of a proforma invoice, the table will be
closed, but stays in memory until final payment.
Before payment you may enter the tendered amount. This
will cause the to calculate the change amount. If you need
an extended invoice with additional text lines, use the key
“Guest Invoice” instead of “Print Invoice”.
Example: Print final invoice of table 1 with CASH:

7.3 Transfer Balance
Occasionally, it is necessary to transfer the complete table contents from one table to another to
combine two tables, for instance. To do that you should first open the table you want to transfer
and press the key “Table Transfer”.
If the table was already opened and any new items were entered, you have to close and re-open it.
“Table Transfer” is only possible with new opened tables.
Now enter the number of the new table and confirm with the “Table” key. Alternatively, you may
press the “Table” key without entry and select a number from the list with the cursor keys (see
“Open and Close Balances”).
Example: Transfer all items from table 1 to table 2:

7.4 Splitting a Balance
The function “Table Split” is used to create more than one invoice from the same table. This may
be necessary if the guests of one table wish to pay separately, for example. To split a table, first
open it and press the key “Table split”.
If the table was already opened and any new items were entered, you have to close and re-open it.
“Table Split” is only possible with newly opened tables.
Now use the cursor keys to select the items, which should be split and confirm each item with the
“Table Split” key. By pressing the “Subtotal” key you may check the sum of all items at any time.
To finish splitting you have two options:
If you want to print out the invoice of the split items directly, you should press the key “Invoice” and
enter the payment media. Alternatively, you may move the split items to another table. In that case
please enter the new table number on the “Table” key or select a table with the cursor keys.
Example: Split from table 1 to invoice:

7.5 Balance Clerk Transfer
If you wish to transfer any tables from one waiter to another, please use the function “Clerk
Transfer”. To transfer all tables of a certain clerk, first log this clerk on, press the key “Clerk
Transfer” and select a new clerk either by keyboard or by Dallas key. If you only want to transfer a
single table, you should open this table before pressing “Clerk Transfer” and selecting the new
clerk.
Example: Transfer all open tables from clerk1 to clerk 2:

7.6 Modifiers and Condiments
Some special articles need to be specified by supplying cooking instructions or additional items. To
do that, press the “Modifier” key directly after registering the PLU. Depending on the programming,
it may also be necessary to select a condiment. In that case you do not need to press the
“Modifier” key, because the condiment dialog will appear automatically.
Using the cursor keys, you can now select the desired
condiment and confirm with the “Modifier” key. When
required, you can also confirm with the “Multiplication” key.
If a PLU was ordered more than once, it is necessary to
enter a number for the condiment. Enter the desired
number and confirm with the “Multiplication” key.
Thereafter, the request will be continued for the remaining
PLU’s. To confirm the selection for all PLU’s, just press the
“Multiplication” key without entry
Example: Register PLU 1 with modifier 3:

8. Reports
The QTouch 15 offer a wide range of reports to collect and monitor your sales data. All functions of
the system have their own report memory in four periods. They can be checked separately as
system reports or combined as free programmable user reports. The report memory of each
function does not only contain the total sum, but also information about clerks and time periods.
All reports can be performed as X or Z. Both types contain the same information. The X-report can
be printed as a temporary report at any time, because the report data will not be cleared. The
Z-report is a final report – after printing the data, the report memory will be cleared.

8.2 User Reports
User reports are freely programmable report lists containing several system reports. Hence, you
have the possibility to create your individual reports. While programming the POS, you can define
what data should be printed in the “Daily Report”, for instance. Later you only need to call one user
report instead of manually selecting several different system reports.
If you press the key “ENTER” in mode X or Z you will receive a list of all available user reports.
Now, you can select one report with the cursor keys and confirm by pressing “ENTER” again.
Alternatively, you may also enter the number of a system report directly on the “ENTER” key.
Please note the programming of the system keys. By default the “ENTER” key is located on the

Depending on the programming you can do this either in binary or in ASCII text format.
If you press the key “ENTER” in mode X or Z you will receive a list of all available user reports.
Scrolling to the end of the list, you will find the entry “Electronic journal”. If you select this and
confirm with “ENTER”, a copy of the last receipt will be printed.
Alternatively, you may also enter the number 101 directly on the “ENTER” key to access the
electronic journal. If you want to print more than one receipt, just enter the number before and
confirm with the “Multiplication” key.
To print out the complete journal enter “0”.
If you enter 102 on the “ENTER” key in mode Z, the journal will be cleared without printout. Please

The Electronic journal is saved in normal text format. Journal data, saved in text format, can only
be displayed and printed going backwards, beginning with the last receipt. Searching for a certain
receipt number is not possible. The format of the printout depends on the programming. It is
therefore possible to print out the journal in two or more columns to save paper. The text format is
suitable for recording all transactions and reports as well as for controlling or exporting data to
other applications.

8.3.2 Binary Format
The Electronic journal is saved in binary format. Any receipt can be recalled by number for
controlling purposes or print out. Please note that only sales receipts are saved. The
increasing receipt number is used as reference to navigate through the journal. Reports
and programming are not saved in the binary electronic journal.
To recall the last receipt, press the keys “PAGE UP” or “CURSOR UP” in mode R or M. Using the
keys “PAGE DOWN” or “CURSOR DOWN” you receive the first receipt. If you want to view a
certain receipt, just enter the receipt number before pressing “PAGE UP” or “CURSOR UP”. After
the initial recall you may use the scroll keys to navigate through the journal entries.
If you are in manager mode (M), you can print out a copy of the activated receipt by pressing the
“Subtotal” key. If you print a copy of a table invoice, the endorsement message will be added
automatically.
Example: Search receipt number 15 and print out a copy:
