Transactions that are entered on the register will be moved to specific transactions in your
accounting system. The data that is available is similar to the close out reports labeled "X" or "Z"
Reports. The data contains summary totals for each Department. The register does not make
individual transactions available, only daily totals.

Daily Procedure using RegisterLink 7
Once you have set up your departments codes, it is easy and quick to use RegisterLink every day.
The most important step in sending your daily report to QuickBooks or Peachtree is to run the "Z"
Report, which clears all transaction totals to zero, except the running grand total (normally known
as the "end-of-day" or "daily close-out" reading).
Turn the key on the register to the "X" position.
Run RegisterLink on your PC.
Select Send Daily Reports.
Check the result in QuickBooks or Peachtree. This is your day's sales.
Turn the key to the "Z" position.
Run the "Z" Report to clear out the day's total.
NOTE: If you do not clear the day's totals, the transactions will remain in the register
memory. They will be included in any subsequent days reports. It is important that you
zero out the cash register after running your reports.
