2. Basic Sales Functions
2.1 Signing on a Clerk
A clerk can be described in cash register terminology as the person who is assigned to the cash register. Every transaction made by that person is recorded and a report can be printed out at the end of a shift. The report will then show the total sales amount that each clerk registered.
The default factory setting is Clerk number 1. The user can change the Clerk in 4 distinct ways, depending upon how the cash register has been programmed.
Option 1: If a general Clerk Key exists on the keyboard, enter first the clerk number and then press the Clerk Key.
Example: Activate Clerk 5, press 5 followed by the Clerk Key.
The programmed clerk name will appear on the display. Option2:
Press the general Clerk Key on the keyboard. Depending on how many character lines the display has, the clerk names will be listed. Scroll down until the appropriate name has been found and press the Clerk Key again to confirm the selection.
Option3: You can also program the specific Clerk Key on the keyboard. Simply press the correct Clerk Key to activate that person.
Option4: A Clerk can also sign on by inserting the specific clerk key in the control lock.
Note: It is possible to enforce a compulsory clerk for each transaction. This simply means that the users have to identify themselves before every transaction.

2.2 Making a Sale Using an Open Department
An open department refers to a department with an undetermined selling price. Items which have not been programmed are categorized into such departments. The salesperson determines the price during registration.
Example: To enter a price of $2 for department 3, press the unit price including the cents, followed by the department key.

Cash 2,00
2.3 Making a Sale Using a Preset Dept./PLU
If a price has already been programmed in the cash register for a specific department or PLU, simply press the key. To ring up PLU’s which do not appear on the keyboard, press the PLU number followed by the PLU Key. If a PLU has a barcode programmed to it, then the Barcode number becomes the PLU Number.
Example: To ring up PLU 241, press the PLU number followed by the PLU Key.

2.3.1 Creating a PLU during a Sale
Occasionally, a salesperson may have to enter a new item, which has not been programmed into the cash register. In such a case, your cash register will automatically prompt you to create this item. Press the Subtotal Key to confirm or the Cancel Key to exit the prompt. Once confirmed the cash register will ask you for the price. Upon entry of the price, press the Subtotal Key again to confirm. Then, enter the department that the PLU is linked to, press Subtotal to confirm. If the cash register has been programmed to allow for new PLU name programming during registration, you will be presented with the chance to enter a name for the PLU you are creating. Alternatively, the PLU will inherit the name of the department that it is linked to.
Subtotal again once you are finished. The cash register will thereafter store the new PLU for future transactions.
Example: Creation of PLU 123, Cola, with a price of $1.50, linked to Department 3 with PLU programming active.
…then the display will prompt you to create, if PLU is not programmed.
Enter the price...
Enter the Department to be linked to...

And finally the PLU name Note: The name of the PLU has to be entered using the Letter Keys on your Keyboard
