KEYBOARD LAYOUT

The figure on the next page shows a typical keyboard layout for the MA-290-100

series. Since this series is designed to be capable of programming most of the keys to be placed in the desired place on the keyboard, this is merely an example. Please ask your TEC representative if any other alternative or

additional keys must be installed, referring to the description of the

"FUNCTION OF EACH KEY" and "OTHER OPTIONAL KEYS" in this manual.

The three vacant keys in the figure will be determined by the customer's

requirements to be used as additional function keys (or not to be used if no other functions are necessary).

Of all the keys, the numeric keys and the [RECEIPT ON/OFF] switch are fixed as to their locations.

RECEIPT

RECEIPT ON/OFF SWITCH [RECEIPT ON/OFF]

This switch has two positions available -- 'OFF' position and 'ON*

position. When in the 'OFF' position, no receipt is issued from the register and sales are printed on the journal roll only. When the switch is turned to the 'ON' position, sales are printed on both receipt roll and journal roll, then a receipt is issued which is automatically cut off and given to the customer.

RECEIPT FEED KEY [RF]

This key is used to advance the receipt roll. It is operated by depressing the key and holding it in that position until the paper has advanced to the required position. This key is effective even when the [RECEIPT ON/OFF] switch is in the 'OFF' position. It can be programmed to prohibit receipt feeding during a sale.

JOURNAL FEED KEY [JF]

This key is used to advance the journal roll in the same fashion as

the [RF] key. These two keys are useful if the cashier, due perhaps to an interruption whilst ringing up a sale, is unsure which items have already been entered. By using the feed key the cashier can see

which figures have actually been printed.

- 6 -

The [RF] and [JF] keys can not be operated simultaneously.

STOCK

SI/M

NO-SALE KEY [NS]

This key is used to open the cash drawer while the machine is outside a sale, for the purpose of cash exchange, printer testing, etc. To operate, depress this key once. A non-add number may usually be entered prior to a no-sale operation. However, it can be programmed

to be prohibited in a no-sale operation.

STOCK KEY [STOCK]

This key is used to issue PLU stock reports in the "X" mode, and to

load PLU stocks and set PLU stock status in the "SET" mode.

This key can not be operated in any other position of the Mode Lock.

SELECTIVE ITEMIZATION MODIFIER KEY [SI/M]

This key is used to reverse the S.I. (selective itemization) status programmed on each Department or PLU.

To operate, depress the [Sl/M] key prior to entering a department or PLU item. The item is then reversed from S.I. to non-S.I. status, or

from non-S.I. to S.I status.

SI/TL

As to the S.I. function and application, refer to the [SI/TL] key

description below.

SELECTIVE ITEMIZER TOTAL KEY [SI/TL]

This key is used to display and print the selective itemizer content.

MOTE: Selective Itemizer Function and Application

The "Selective Itemizer" is a temporary total memory

for each sale which is active separately from the Main Itemizer (i.e. sale total memory). If certain Department or

PLU items are programmed with the S.I. (selective

itemization) status, the Selective Itemizer will function to

add up amounts of the S.I.-status items in registering a

sale, while the Main Itemizer will function to add up all the items in the sale. Thus, near the sale finalization, the cashier may read the SI content. The applications of this function may vary from store to store. For example,

many stores use it for counting the service stamps to be

issued to the customers according to the sale amount of service-stampable items.

To operate, depress the [Sl/TL] key without a numeric key entry during

a sale. At this time, the content of the selective itemizer is

automatically cleared.

The [ITEM CORK] key does not function to delete the [SI/TL] key entry.

- 7 -

If the "SI/TL Compulsory** option is selected, no finalizing operation

will be allowed until the [SI/TL] key is depressed to clear the SI

content.

If the "SI/TL Non-print" option is selected, the content of the SI is

displayed and printed on the journal but not on the receipt.

If a preset % rate has been programmed on this key, the depression of

[Sl/TL] automatically calculates the amount based on the preset rate,

which is displayed (and printed). Also whether or not this calculated

amount affects (add to or subtract from) the sale total is a programmable option. (For example, if "Non-affect" status is selected, the amount calculated and displayed may indicate the number

of service stamps to be issued to the customer in some stores; or if

"Subtract from the sale" status is selected, the amount indicate the discount rate for special discount sale items in other stores.) If no preset % rate has been programmed, the calculation is based on the rate of 100%. No manual rate entry using the [SI/TL] key will be possible.

BTL RTN

BOTTLE RETURN KEY [BTL RTN]

This is a credit key to enter a bottle return amount. This key can be programmed as either a motorized-inside-sale key or non-motorized-department-linked key.

WHEN PROGRAMMED AS MOTORIZED-INSIDE-SALE KEY

To operate, enter the bottle return amount and then depress the

[BTL RTN] key during a sale. The [BTL RTN] functions like a

department key.

The amount entered through the [BTL RTN] key must not exceed the subtotal amount unless the "Credit Balance" option is selected.

The amount entered through the [BTL RTN] key will also be limited by

its own amount limit setting. To release this limit in registrations, the Mode Lock must be turned to the "MGR" position. The [LC OPEN] key will not be effective in this case.

Quantity extension (multiplication) is possible using the [X] key.

WHEN PROGRAMMED AS NON-MOTORIZED-DEPARTMENT-LINKED KEY

To operate, depress [BTL RTN] either before or after the bottle

return amount entry, and then depress the appropriate department key. The amount entry is omitted if a preset department key is used in this case.

The amount entered with [BTL RTN] will subtract the department total memory but not affect the deparment counter memory.

The bottle return amount must not exceed the sale total unless the

"Credit Balance" option is selected.

The bottle return amount cannot be entered into PLUs.

- 8 -

The bottle return amount is limited by the HALC of the department

through which the amount is entered.

Quantity extension (multiplication) is possible by depressing the

[BTL RTN] key during a normal department multiplication sequence.

None of the [RTN MDSE], [VOID], and [STR CPN] keys will function with the [BTL RTN] key in one-item operation sequence.

The tax and SI statuses of the bottle return amount will be ruled by

the department through which the amount is entered.

The [BTL RTN] key may be programmed to require the "MGR" position of

the Mode Lock.

RTN

MDSE

RETURNED MERCHANDISE KEY [RTN MDSE]

This key is used to refund money to a customer who has returned goods

to the store.

To operate, depress the [RTN MDSE] key during a normal Department or PLU entry sequence (quantity extension is also possible). The amount

is automatically printed and deducted from the bill.

This key may be programmed to require the "MGR" post ion of the Mode Lock.

PERCENT CHARGE KEY [%+]

This key is used to add a percentage rate to a sale. If the preset

percent rate is to be added, depress the [%+] key without a prior numeric entry. If a rate different from the preset one is to be added, enter the desired rate on the numeric keyboard and then depress the [%+] key. The manual rate will take priority.

To operate, depress the [%+] key either immediately after a department, PLU, or positive Previous Balance item if only that item requires the percentage addition, or after the [ST] key if required on

the total bill. The percent rate and the amount are printed and will

be added to the sale total.

The percent rate may be within the range from 0.001 to 99.999%. The

fraction resulted from the percentage calculation is usually

programmed to be rounded of f. However, it can be programmed to be

rounded up or discarded.

Usually, a % key operation after a subtotal is once obtained is allowed any number of times. However, it may be programmed to prohibit it more than once.

PERCENT DISCOUNT KEY [%- ]

This key operates in the same fashion as the [%+] key except that operation will subtract from instead of adding to a sale. A preset

rate independent from that of the [%+] key may be programmed.

- 9 -

OPEN

PRESET OPEN KEY [PR OPEN]

This key is used to modify Che status of preset department keys. When

the [PR OPEN] key is depressed prior to depressing a preset department key (either before or after the numeric entry), the preset department key is reversed to an open department key and allows amount entry through the numeric keyboard for that item only.

If a preset department is entered with a price through the numeric keyboard using the [PR OPEN] key, repeating the same department key will not repeat the first manually-entered amount but the original preset price will be entered instead. The [RPT] (Repeat) key makes it

possible to repeat even the manually-entered price of a preset

department key,

The [PR OPEN] key can not be used for a PLU item entry.

OPEN

PLU

LISTING CAPACITY OPEN KEY [LC OPEN]

This key is used to release the listing capacity on each Department or media key. To operate, depress the [LC OPEN] key before depressing the department key or media key (either before or after the price or

amount entry).

By depressing the [LC OPEN] key, the HALC (High Amount Lisiting Capacity) will be released to allow a numeric entry with two further digits, and the LALC (Low Amount Listing Capacity) will be one digit

less than the programmed value, as to the department keys. As for the media keys, the HALC will be extended to allow one further digits.

The [LC OPEN] key will not function to release the amount limit

setting on each of the [DOLL DISC], [VND CPN], and

[BTL RTN](motorized-inside-sale type).

In order to allow an amount entry beyond the values defined with the

use of the [LC OPEN] key, the Mode Lock must be turned to the "MGR”

position of the Mode Lock, which position also allows a free amount

entry through [DOLL DISC], [VND CPN], and [BTL RTN).

PLD (Price-Look-Up) KEY [PLU]

This key is used to enter a PLU that is linked to a department. Each

PLU can be programmed to be a preset PLU (to allow the preset price

only) or an open PLU (to allow a price entry through the numeric keys

each time).

TO ENTER THROUGH PRESET PLU:

IpLU Code

number of

1 to 4 digits (1 to 9999)

TO ENTER THROUGH OPEN FLU:

PLU Code! ♦ [PLU] -► | PRICE j -► [AMT] number of

1 to 4 digits (1 to 9999)

As for quantity extension involving PLUs, refer to the "REGISTERING

PROCEDURE FOR SALES" section.

Each PLU is programmed with a 4-digit PLU Code, a 2-digit linked Department Code, 6-digit Preset Price or Open Price Status, SI, Tax, Food Stamp, Scale, and Stock statuses.

... The price indexed through the

numeric keys will be entered.

To repeat the same PLU price, depress the [AMT] key only, after the above operation.

AMT

@/FOR

AMOUNT KEY [AMT]

This key is used to enter an amount or price for an open PLU. Refer to

the description for the [PLU] key above.

AT-FOR (QUANTITY EXTENSION AND SPLIT-PACKAGE PRICING) KEY [@/FOR]

This key is used to multiply a department or PLU item entry by a

quantity (Multiplication Function). This key is also used to auto-calculate and enter a split-package price (for example, the customer wants only two of five tomatoes in one package).(Split Price Function).

The basic order of multiplication is:

QUANTITY

As for details of multiplication and split pricing for various cases,

refer to the "REGISTERING PROCEDURE FOR SALES" section.

In multiplications, the QUANTITY can be of maximum of 3 integral

digits and 3 decimal digits. The price can be of maximum 6 digits. The product must not exceed 8 digits for department entries, or 7 digits for PLU, negative department, or dept-linked Bottle Return

entries.

[@/FOR] > [UNIT PRICE]

VALI

DATE

Usually, the fraction below the least effective digit will be rounded

off. However, it may be programmed to be rounded up or discarded by a

programmable option.

VALIDATION KEY [VALIDATE]

This key is used to over-print a validation slip.

To operate, after registering an item or finalizing a sale, insert a

slip into the validation slot and depress the [VALIDATE] key. The

item and the amount will be printed in one line on the slip. Print or

non-print of the date and/or consecutive No. is a programmable option.

Programmable selections are also provided as to single- or multi validation, validation compulsion on certain transaction keys, etc«

If the "SLP" lamp flickers, it means that validation compulsion is programmed for the last item entered. In this case, insert a slip

into the validation slot and depress the [VALIDATE] key; no other

operations are allowed until the compulsory validation is executed.

If validation compulsion is programmed on any media key to finalize a sale, the drawer will not open on finalizing the sale, but will open on printing the validation slip by the [VALIDATE] key depression.

ITEM

CORR

VOID

ITEM CORRECT KEY [ITEM CORR]

This key is used to remove the last line item from the bill, printing a line through that item on the receipt and journal.

To operate, simply depress the [ITEM CORR] key immediately after the wrong item is entered and printed.

The item- correct function is effective even when a numeric entry and a [C] key depression are inserted between the line item to be corrected and the [ITEM CORR] key depression.

The [ITEM CORR] key will function to correct any last item entered

through a Department, PLU, [%+], [^-], [DOLL DISC], [TAX](Manual Tax),

[PB+], [PB-], [VND CPN], [STR CPN], [BTL RTN], [RTN MDSE] keys, or

Received-on-Account, or Paid-Out items.

However, the (ITEM CORR] key will not function to correct any lines already entered before the last line item (refer to the [VOID] key description for such a purpose), or even the last line item entered

through media keys, [ST], [#], [VOID], [EX], [SI/TL], or [ITEM CORR] itself.

VOID KEY [VOID]

The [VOID] key is used to void an item entered previously (before the

last line item) within a sale, in which case the [ITEM CORR] key will

not function.

To operate, depress the [VOID] key before or during a normal department or PLU entry sequence.

The [VOID] key may function to void a previous item through a positive

department or a positive PLU, or a combination or "poisitive

department/PLU plus [%+]/[%-]" entry, but not any other kind of items.

Unless the "Credit Balance" option is selected, voiding to result the

sale total negative will go into an error.

This key may be programmed to require the "MGR" position of the Mode Lock.

- 12 -

CLEAR KEY [C]

This key is used to correct a numeric entry error or a declaration key

(such as [RTN mdse], [TX/M]) entry error prior to depressing a

motorized key (such as [DEPT], media keys), or to correct any error

condition and cancel the alarm tone.

If the [C] key is depressed after a subtotal is once obtained, the subtotal amount is again displayed. Similarly, after a taxable total is once obtained by [TXBL TL] , a [C] key depression will regain the

display indication to the taxable total (subtotal + taxes).

TX/M

TXl/M

(for Single-tax Area)

TX2/M

Each of these keys is used to reverse the tax status (taxable/non-

taxable status) on departments or other tax-status-programmable keys

for one entry only. For multi-tax areas, a maximum of three keys

should be provided -- [TXl/M], [TX2/M], and [TX3/M] -- in place of the

[TX/M] key for single-tax areas. The three tax modifier keys will function independently each from the others, with its own tax table

pre-programmed for taxable items,

The tax modifier key(s) will be effective to reverse the tax status programmed on departments, PLUs, [DOLL DISC], [%+], [5i-], [VND CPN] ,

tSTR CPN], and [BTL RTN] keys.

To operate, depress the required tax modifier key(s) prior to depressing any of these function keys above listed, i.e., either before or after the amount entry. Please note that in multi-tax areas each tax modifier key corresponds its own tax table status. For example, [TXl/M] corresponds to Tax 1 status (e.g. National Tax),

[TX2/M] to Tax 2 status (e.g. State Tax), etc.

The tax modifier keys are also used, along with the [EX] key, to exempt required tax(es) from the sale. Refer to the [EX] key

description placed later in this section.

HDHERIC KEYS

These keys are used to enter numeric values such as amount, quantity,

or code number.

Depressing the [00] key once is the same as depressing the [0] key

twice consecutively.

The maximum indexing listing capacity is 8 digits, the maximum

registering listing capacity is 7 digits, but please note that some

amount entries thorugh certain function keys are limited by the

pre-programmed amount limits.

13 -

0ECZMAL POINT KEY [.]

This key is used, as part of numeric keys, to designate the position

of the decimal point when entering a percent rate (through [%+J or

[%-]) or a quantity (through [@/FOR]). For example, to enter 0.5%, index 0->[.]-*5, or [.1+5. A maximum of three digits may be entered

below the decimal point (except in tax rate programming in the "SET"

mode).

When entering a price or amount such as $0,25, just index 2-^5. In

this case, depression of the [.} key is not necessary and will cause

an error.

DEPARTMENT KEYS [DEPT]

These are department keys through which sales items are registered.

Each of these keys may be programmed as either 'OPEN' or 'PRESET' key.

OPEN DEPARTMENT KEY

A department key which has no preset price programmed is an 'OPEN' key and must have a price entered into it manually each time. The

price is rung up on the numeric keyboard and the appropriate

department key is depressed. The price is then displayed and

printed on the receipt and journal rolls.

When the same department key is depressed more than once

consecutively after a price entry, the price entry is repeated as

many times as the department key is depressed.

To enter a price extended by multiplication, enter the quantity

first, depress the [@/F0R] key, enter the price, and then depress the appropriate department key. A multilplcation entry may not be repeated by depressing the department key again.

For split-pricing, enter the purchased quantity, depress [(?/FOR],

enter the whole package quantity next, depress [@/F0R] again, enter the whole package price, and then depress the department key.

PRESET DEPARTMENT KEY

A preset key is a key which has already a price programmed in it.

It is therefore unnecessary to enter the price of an item; simply depress the key to register the sale of one item.

To repeat the same preset item, depress the department key as many

times as required.

To multiply a preset department price by a quantity, enter the quantity first, depress [@/F0R] ([@/FOR] may be omitted if the preceding quantity is a one-digit value), and then depress the preset department key.

For split-pricing, enter the purchased quantity first, depress

[@/F0R], enter the whole package quantity next, depress [@/F0R]

again, and then depress the preset department key.

- 14 -

If a price different from the preset one must be entered through numeric keys into a preset department, depress the [PR OPEN] key either before or after the price entry.

Each department is also programmed with either positive or negative use, a HALC (High Amount Listing Capacity), LALC (Low Amount Listing Capacity), tax and SI (Selective Itemization) status.

A department item with [RTN MDSE], [PR OPEN], or [SHIFT] key, or a

negative department item can not be repeated.

A department key can also be programmed to be used as a "Single-item

Department" key. If so programmed, the department entry routine above

mentioned will immediately finalize the sale as cash without

depressing any of the media keys, when operated outside a sale. The Single-item Department key will function, however, just as an ordinary

itemized department key if used inside a sale.

As for additional Department Keys or Shifted Departments, refer to the

"OTHER OPTIONAL KEYS" section.

TXBL

SUBTOTAL KEY [ST]

This key is used to obtain the subtotal amount (sale total without

taxes) during a sale. When this key is depressed after all the items

have been rung up, the subtotal of the sale is printed and displayed.

If the [ST] key is depressed more than once consecutively, the first depression only will print and display the subtotal; further depressions will only display but not print the subtotal amount.

A programmable option provides the selection not to print but only

display the subtotal even on the first depression of the [ST] key.

In charge posting, a depression of the

amount without previous balance.

TAXABLE TOTAL KEY [TXBL TL]

This key is used to display the contents of the sale total plus any

taxes due. The amount will display only but not print.

In order to allow add-on operation following the use of this key, the taxes are not added into any totals until actual finalization is initiated.

ST] key displays the subtotal

Mandatory depression of this key prior to finalizing a sale is a

programmable option.

If the "TOTAL VALIDATION" option is selected, depressing the

[VALIDATE] key after a [TXBL TL] key depression prints the sale total

on the validation slip, and therefore, only a finalizing operation

then is allowed.

In charge posting, depressing the [TXBL TL] key displays the amount including taxes but excluding the previous balance.

A wrong Card Code entry up to the [CARD NO] key but before the [Chg] key depression can be corrected by the [C] key. But it is not

possible to correct a Card Code entry and print after the [Chg] key

depression.

If the "Card No. Compulsory" option is selected, the [Chg] key operation will not be accepted without a Card Code entry.

Multi-tendering is allowed with multiple Card Nos (if [Chg] is

progranuned to allow tendering), by repeating to enter each Card No. before [CARD NO] and its amount tendered before [Chg].

If the [Chg] key is programmed to allow finalizing Received-on-Account payment items, the Card Code entry operation described above is allowed even to finalize Received-on-Account payments or to finalize payment entries for a sale with previous balance.

VND CPN

If a validation print is performed for a [Chg]-finalized sale with a Card No., the Card No. will not be printed on the validation slip.

VENDOR COUPON KEY [VND CPN]

This is a motorized credit key to subtract vendor coupon amount from

the sale.

To operate, enter the coupon amount and depress the [VND CPN] key.

This operation can only be performed inside a sale. The coupon amount to be entered must not exceed the sale total unless the "Credit Balance" option is selected.

This key can be programmed with Amount Limit (max. 4-digit value), tax

status, validation compulsion, and manager intervention.

[ST] key depression or any time during a sale before finalizing the

sale.

This key may be programmed with Amount Limit (max. 4-digit value), tax status, validation compulsion, and manager intervention.

To override the programmed Amount Limit, the "MGR" position of the Mode Lock is required, but the [LC OPEN] key will not be effective.

Quantity extension is not possible using the [DOLL DISC] key.

TAX EXEMPT KEY [EX]

This key is used to declare the exemption of the taxes from the sale, displaying the sale total excluding the exempted-tax, printing the tax-exempted amount. Only a finalizing operation is possible after a

[EX] key depression.

The [ITEM CORR] key can not function to delete a [EX] key entry.

When multiple tax modifier keys are installed, partial tax exemption as well as all tax exemption may be performed in the following ways:

[TXI/M] [ex] ............................. to exempt TAX 1 only

PB+

PB-

These keys are used to enter a previous balance in a charge posting operation. If a previous balance is entered, then the operation becomes a charge posting operation, and the [Chg] key must used at the end of the operation. (See the "REGISTER PROCEDURE FOR SALES" section as to detail operations to follow the [Chg] key in charg posting.)

A previous balance may be entered anywhere and any number of times during a sale. The [PB+] key is used to post a debit balance and the

[PB-] key is used to post a credit balance. To initiate a charge

posting operation where no previous balance exists, then enter "0"

(zero) as a past balance, followed by [PB+] or [PB-].

If the [TXBL TL] is depressed during a charge posting, the displayed amount does not include the previous balance. When the [Chg 1 key is depress to end the charge posting, the displayed and printed amount

includes the previous balance. However, a programmable option may be

selected to display and print the amount excluding the previous balance on the [Chg] key depression.

The [%+] or [%-] key may be operated immediately after a previous balance through the [PB+] key but not [PB-].

TRF

R/A

TRANSFER KEY [TRF]

When a charge posting is entered with the tChg] key, this key is used to

transfer the entire balance with no payment.

To operate, depress the [TRF] key after the [Chg] key. All the balance is transferred, the transferred amount is printed as the new

balance, and a receipt is issued. In this operation the [Chg] key may

be omitted.

NON-ADD NUMBER PRINT KEY [#]

This key is used to print a non-add number (such as Check No,,

Customer No., etc.) on the receipt and journal for future reference.

To operate, enter a maximum of 8-digit number and then depress the [i^] key. The number is then printed. This operation may be performed any

time between sales items, before or after all the sale items if the sale has not been finalized yet. Usually, non-add numbers may be entered any number of times within a sale. However, it is programmable to prohibit more than one non-add number entry within a

sale.

RECEIVED ON ACCOUNT KEY [R/A]

A received-on-account transaction is used to identify money which is

in the drawer but not business. The amount entered is thus included in the In-drawer Totals but not in the sales totals.

To operate, enter an amount of payment and then depress the [R/A] key. Repeat this operation if multiple payments are entered at a time. The payments entered are finalized by the [AT/TL] key if paid in cash. Other media keys may also finalize payments received on account if so programmed. The above operation can only be performed when the

The [R/A] key is also used to declare the payment amount near the end

of a charge posting operation. After depressing the [Chg] key to obtain the sale total, enter the amount portion to be paid in this sale and then depress the [R/A] key, followed by the media tendering or totalling operation. The media keys that can be used in this case are those programmed to allow payments received on account, which is just described above.

The [R/A] key is also used as the Loan Start Declaration key.

PAID OUT KEY [PO]

A paid-out transaction is used when an amount of money is removed from

the cash drawer without relating to a sale. When the [PO] key is

- 18 -

used, the amount entered is subtracted from the Cash-in-drawer Total but not sales totals.

To operate, enter an amount to be taken from the cash drawer and depress the [PO] key whilst the register is in an out-of-sale

condition. This operation may be repeated if multiple paid-out items

are registered in one transaction. The paid-out amounts are finalized by the [AT/TL] key only (i.e., must always paid out in cash).

In a charge posting operation, this key is depressed to pay back all

the balance to the customer, after once finalizing the account with

the [Chg] key.

The [PO] key is also used as Pick Up Start Declaration Key when the Mode Lock is set to the "MGR" position.

The [PO] key may be programmed to require the "MGR" position of the Mode Lock.

AT/TL

CASH AMOUNT TENDER / TOTAL KEY [AT/TL]

This key is used to record all cash paid on transactions, and will be

able to finalize a sale operation. Usually this key is programmed to

function as both "Tender" and "Total" key. However, the key may be

programmed to operate with enforced tendering or as a cash total key.

TENDER FUNCTION

After the [ST] or [TXBL TL] key is depressed, enter the amount

tendered by the customer in payment of the sale, and then depress the [AT/TL] key. The change is automatically computed, displayed, and printed.

If the amount tendered is smaller than the sale total, it prints the amount tendered on the receipt with the balance still due displayed,

but the drawer is not yet opened. In this case, ask the customer

for additional payment in cash and repeat the same amount-tendering operation, or use another media key if the balance due is processed as a sale in that media.

NOTE: If [AT/TL] is programmed to function as "Tender" key only and

the sale total is "0" or negative, no amount tendered can be entered. In this case, [AT/TL] will function just as the "Total" key, so just depress [AT/TL] to obtain the total and

finalize the sale. The balance in negative idicates that the amount must be paid back to the customer in cash.

TOTAL FUNCTION

To obtain the total and finalize a cash sale, depress the [AT/TL]

key only. The sale is finalized with the total printed and displayed, and the drawer opens.

If the "[TXBL TL] Compulsory" option is selected, a [TXBL TL] key depression is always required before finalizing any sale.

- 19 -

If the "Total Validation" option is selected, validation after a

(TXBL TL] key depression will print the sale total (including taxes)

and thereafter only sale finalizing operation will be allowed.

The [AT/TL] key is also used to finalize received-on-account payments or paid-out amounts.

The [AT/TL] key can be programmed with the HALC (High Amount Listing

Capacity) of the amount tendered. If it is set, the amount tendered

must not exceed the programmed value; otherwise, it will result in an

error. If the [LC OPEN] key is used prior to the [AT/TL] key depression, the HALC will be extended by one additional digit. If an amount still larger must be entered, the Mode Lock must be turned to the "MGR" position.

The [AT/TL] key can also be programmed to prohibit short-tendering operation.

CHECK

TEND

CHECK TENDER KEY [CHECK]

This key is one of non-cash media keys, and used to cash a check when

Che register is outside a sale, or to finalize the transaction as a

check payment.

CHECK CASHING

When the register is outside a sale, enter the check amount and depress the [CHECK] key. A receipt is issued and the drawer is opened to enable exchange. However, this cashing function may be prohibited if so programmed.

FINALIZING AS CHECK PAYMENT

On finalizing a sale, refer to the [AT/TL] key description. The

[CHECK] key is ususally programmed to function as "Tender" key only. However, it may be programmed to function as "Total" key only or as both "Tender" and "Total" keys, just as [AT/TL].

The [CHECK] key is also used to finalize received-on-account payments

when paid in check. However, this function may be programmed to be

prohibited.

Over-tendering and/or short-tendering using this key may be also

programmed to be prohibited (in case this key functions as "Tender"

key).

Chg

CHARGE TOTAL KEY [Chg]

This key is usually programmed as "Charge Sale Total" Key. However,

it may be programmed to be the key for other non-cash media such as payments in credit cards. Thus this key is used as an alternative

method of payments for media other than cash and check. To operate,

depress the [Chg] key, instead of [AT/TL], to obtain the total and

finalize the sale.

This key has exactly the same functions and programmabilities as the

[CHECK] key except that the [Chg] key is usually programmed as a "Total" key but not a "Tender" key.

- 20 -

This key may also finalize received-on-account payments if not

prohibited in the system option.

This key may also finalize the current sale of charge posting. In

this case, the amount displayed by the [Chg] key is the sale total

including the previous balance. However, it is programmable to display the sale total excluding the previous balance by the [Chg] key depression in that case.

OTHER OPTIONAL KEYS

The following keys are not shown in the TYPICAL KEYBOARD LAYOUT on page 6. However, any of them may be installed if the customer requires. But please note that some of the present keys may have to be dispensed with or additional

memories may have to be installed to gain additional functions. Please

contact your TEC representative if any of the following keys is necessary.

Additional Department Keys

A maximum of 60 department keys including the present department keys may be installed.

SHIFT

Additional [X+] or [Z-] Keys

DEPARTMENT SHIFT KEY [SHIFT]

This key functions similarly to the "Shift Key" on a ordinary

typewriter keyboard. Two different departments will be programmed on one Department Key, and shifting is possible from one department to

the other by depressing the [SHIFT] key. For example, Department 1 can be used as Department 31 if the [SHIFT] key is depressed prior to

[DEPT 1] key.

In this case, the number of all the department keys on the keyboard

must be 30 or less. Thus the keyboard can spare space for other

functions keys despite the number of departments.

The [SHIFT] key is effective to shift a department for only one entry;

therefore, the shifted department can only be repeated by depressing

the [RPT] key but not by depressing the same department key.

A maximum of two % keys including the present % keys may be installed

on the keyboard. That is, if one [%+] key and one [%-] key are

already installed, no other % keys can be added. However, the present

two % keys can be programmed to be used as both %+ or both %- keys.

Mise TEND

MISCELLANEOUS MEDIA TENDER KEY [MISC]

This is one of additional media keys that may be installed besides the

present media keys. This key may be used to finalize a sale paid in media other than cash and check. This key has the same functions and

programmabilities as the [CHECK] key, and usually used as a "Tender"

key.

CPN

COUPON TENDER KEY [CPN]

This is one of additional media keys that may be installed besides the present keys. This key is used to finalize a sale paid in coupons. Different from the [VND CPN] or [STR CPN] keys, this key will be used as a media keys (while the other coupon keys are used as credit

(subtracting) keys during a sale).

This key has the same functions and programmabilites as the [CHECK] key, and usually used as a "Tender" key.

FSTL TEND

FOOD STAMP TOTAL READ / TENDER KEY [FSTL TEND]

This is a multi-purpose function key associated with the food stamp

tendered operation.

FOOD STAMPABLE TOTAL READ

The first depression of this without a prior amount entry displays the food-stampable total, which indicates the maximum amount the customer may pay in food stamp,

FOOD STAMP TENDERING

Next, the food stamp amount tendered by the customer is entered and then the [FSTL TEND] key is depressed. If the food stamp amount tendered is equal to or larger than the food-stampable total and if there is no non-food-stampable amount is included in the sale

(accurately, a maximum non-food-stampable amount of 99c may be included), the sale is finalized and a receipt is issued. If any non-food-stampable amount is included or the tendered food stamp amount is short of the food-stampable total, the balance due is displayed, expecting for another tendering or totalling operation in other medias.

The change by the unit of $1.00 will be returned in food stamp, but the change portion less than $1.00 will be returned in cash.

There are three types of food stamp handlings regarding the tax payment system for the food stampable items, and the register has been programmed with the right type for each area:

1) GENERAL TYPE

The customer may pay up to the food-stampable amount plus the

taxes due in food stamp. (The FOOD STAMPABLE TOTAL read in the display already includes the taxes due in this type.)

2) ILLINOIS TYPE

The customer pay up to the food-stampable amount in food

stamp, and the amount actually paid in food stamp is tax-exempted. (The FOOD STAMPABLE TOTAL read in the display does not include the taxes due in this type.)
