5 Vectron POS ColorTouch
The Vectron POS ColorTouch distinguishes itself by a number
of technical features and functions. The 32-bit-technology and
the battery buffered RAM accelerate data access, guarantee fast
processing, and avoid data loss in case of a power failure. In addition,
the Vectron POS ColorTouch has a small, compact cabinet which
only requires a small footprint.
5.1 The cash register and its components
The Vectron POS ColorTouch is a powerful cash register system,
where the operation is directly via touching (Touch) the wide area
(12.1“ diagonal) TFT color monitor.
The Vectron POS ColorTouch is available with an integrated customer display which is integrated into the rear of the cabinet. The integrated customer display has two lines of displayable alpha-numeric
characters, with 20 characters per line.

5.2 Connections
At the bottom of the Vectron POS ColorTouch are numerous connections, via which external devices can be connected.
The Vectron POS ColorTouch offers six RS-232 interfaces. Via one of
these interfaces, your cash register system can be connected to a
PC. This connection would allow for instance, to update the software
of your cash register system, or to read and process registrations.
Furthermore, the cash register system is equipped with a Centronics interface for parallel connection of a printer. Additionally, the
Vectron POS ColorTouch has an Ethernet interface, giving the option of networking several cash register systems, and two additional
sockets for the connection of an external keyboard and several (up
to four) cash drawers. All connections a directly located on the mainboard (on-board) of the Vectron POS ColorTouch.

5.3 Identification lock
The Vectron POS ColorTouch in gure 1 and 2 has an identication
lock at the front side of its cabinet. In this example, the gures show
a so-called EasyReader3.
Every clerk who has the suitable key can work with the ECR. The
key must only be approached to the lock and the ECR recognizes the
clerk and releases the predened authorizations.
Instead of an EasyReader3, the Vectron POS ColorTouch can also
be equipped with other locks. Please refer to your Vectron Systems
dealer.
5.4 Operation via Touch
Your Vectron POS ColorTouch is always operated via the TFT touch
display (see gure 1 & 2). The monitor layout can be designed according to your demands. For the respective functions, elements can
be created in this layout that considerably ease the input of data, as
it sometimes sufces to actuate a touch key, e.g. in order to register
a PLU.
Vectron POS ColorTouch14
Vectron POS ColorTouch 15
5.5 Vectron POS ColorTouch “Special Edition”
The Vectron POS ColorTouch is available in a high-quality design,
the “Special Edition”. In this design, the cash register system is
exclusively available in dark. The covering caps at all four corner
points, as well as the type label, are made of special steel.
The Vectron POS ColorTouch can be combined with all lock types.
Yet, when using a Vectron EasyReader3 it must be noted that the
distance ring under the lock is not made of hig-grade steel. This
combination would lead to a shielding of the external antenna. The
distance ring is therefore made of black plastic. Figure 4 shows the
POS system with Addimat lock.

6 Getting started
Place the cash register on a stable and even surface. The set-up
area must guarantee that the cash register is protected from bad
inuences such as high or low temperatures, high air humidity or
splash. Please refer to the appendix for all relevant data concerning
the set-up area.
The power connection of the Vectron POS ColorTouch is at the
bottom, connect the ECR to the mains.
Switch on the Vectron POS ColorTouch (switch at the bottom adjacent
to the power connection). The display is now illuminated and the
ECR carries out a self test where various values are indicated, e.g.
hardware version, software version, serial number and available
memory.

7 Operation
This chapter gives an overview on the functions of your Vectron POS
ColorTouch and an introduction into the basic operating procedures.
Your Vectron dealer has programmed your POS system to meet your
operating requirements. Because of this some operating procedures
may differ from those described in this manual. Your Vectron dealer
will fully explain the functions installed for you.
7.1 Log on and off at the cash register
The clerk must log on to the Vectron POS ColorTouch in order to enter
PLUs or hold-buffers. Thus you can verify at any time which clerk
has made which entries. Different users can be vested with different
authorizations, e.g. void.
There are various possibilities to log on to or off the Vectron POS
ColorTouch.
7.1.1 Log on with key
You log on to the Vectron POS ColorTouch by holding the key
to the lock (see above). If an additional secret number has been
programmed, enter this number and conrm with <Enter>.
7.1.2 Log on without key
Log on without key is possible in case you have been assigned a
clerk number. Enter this clerk number and conrm with <Enter>. If
required, enter your secret number and conrm with <Enter>.
Vectron POS ColorTouch 17
7.1.3 Log off
For log off, there are also various possibilities:
• by removal of the key,
• by holding the key to the lock again,
• by closing the receipt,
• by depressing the <Clerk> key.
7.2 Guest checks and hold buffers
Guest checks and hold buffers serve to keep open several invoices
simultaneously. This function is often required in restaurants, to
store the goods consumed for each guest check.
In retail, it can also be useful to keep open several invoices simultaneously, if for instance in a bakery there is only one cash register for
several clerks. In a supermarket, if a customer forgot his wallet in
his car, the entire sale can be stored temporarily in a “hold-buffer”
so that other customers can be serviced until the customer returns
with his wallet.
7.2.1 Starting a new GC
To open a new guest check, enter the number and depress the <GC>
key.
7.2.2 Close and re-open a GC
By pressing the <GC> key, the guest check is closed. Depending
on the programming, the order is now printed on different printers,
e.g. at the counter or in the kitchen. The ECR is now open for other
orders.
If you want to re-open a GC to make further entries, repeat the steps
(see above).
Vectron POS ColorTouch18
Vectron POS ColorTouch 19
7.2.3 Paying a guest check
To pay a guest check, enter the number and press the <GC> key. The
display shows the balance. Depress the <Cash> or <VISA> or other
payment key. The invoice is now printed and the guest check will be
cleared so that it may be used for a new customer. You may enter the
amount the customer gives you before depressing the <Cash> key
and the change is displayed.
Depending on the programming of your register, there are several
other possibilities. For instance you can rst print a subtotal invoice
and then print the total invoice after the guest decided on the mode
of payment.
7.2.4 Guest check split
It may often be necessary to split the guest check, if for instance
one guest wants to leave earlier than the others. For these cases
you have the function “G.C. Split”. This function is only available for
clerks who have been vested with the according authorization.
To split a G.C., it must be opened again. Depress <G.C. Split>. Select
the PLUs to be split.
After having selected all PLUs nalize the split by depressing
<Cash>, or a different media number. The invoice is printed.
It may happen that a guest changes to a different table. You may then
split PLUs from one guest check to another. Proceed as described
above, however enter the guest check number to which the PLUs
are to be transferred before depressing <G.C. Split>. Store the split by
pressing <G.C.>.
Vectron POS ColorTouch 19
7.2.5 Guest check move
Rather than splitting single PLUs from one check to another, “Check
Move” allows the entire check to be moved to another guest check.
The clerks must be vested with the according authorization.
• Open the G.C. to be moved. If the G.C. has already been opened,
close it with <G.C.> and re-open it. G.C. moves can only be carried
out if the G.C. is opened anew.
• Enter the destination check number and depress <Check Move>.
The guest check that has been moved is automatically closed.
7.2.6 Shift change
Shift change means that a guest check is transferred to another clerk
(e.g. change of shift). Open the guest check that is to be transferred.
Enter the number of the clerk to whom the guest check is to be
transferred and depress <Shift change>.
7.2.7 Hold-buffers
To open a hold buffer press the respective key. By means of the hold
buffer keys you can switch between the individual hold buffers. To
close a hold buffer depress a media key.
Depending on the programming of the cash register a hold buffer is
automatically assigned to a certain clerk. In this case the hold buffer
change is automatically carried out if a new clerk is logged-in.
Vectron POS ColorTouch20
Vectron POS ColorTouch 21
7.3 Reports
There are many different reports available. Reports can be selected
via the <Mode> key or via special keys and can be printed on the
integrated printer.
It is also possible to read reports by means of the PC program Vectron
Commander and to process them on the computer.
Note:
It depends on the clerks’ authorization which reports can be called.
Please contact your Vectron dealer.
By pressing <Mode>, the Vectron POS ColorTouch can store and print
X- and Z-reports.
“X-reports” are interim reports, the memory is not deleted.
“Z-reports” are nal reports, the memory is reset to zero and the
report cannot be restored!
After choosing either an X-report or a Z-report, then you may decide
which report to print. The following are short descriptions of some of
the most common reports.
Cashiers
An overview of the nancial data for each cashier.
Cashier (single)
An overview of the nancial data for only one cashier.
Cashier invoices
Shows the invoices that were created by each cashier in the
reporting period.

• A Z-report creates a nal bill and closes the guest check.
Vectron POS ColorTouch 21
Open GCs
Lists all guest checks that have not yet been paid.
Invoices

PLUs, Departments, Main groups

of similar items.
Journal
Records all actions carried out on the POS system (sales,
programming and reporting) since the last Z-report.
For many of these reports you can choose between different report
levels. For instance there may be a level for daily reports and another
level for weekly reports.
For some reports you may also select an evaluation range and print
only the report for certain items.
Due to the amount of data that may be printed, the PLU report,
Invoice reports and Journals may require a large amount of time to
print.

7.5 Making a sale
The usual procedure is as follows:
• PLU-items and their prices are entered.
• The sale is invoiced and passed to the customer.
• The customer pays
The details of each of these steps are explained in the following
sections. A clerk must be logged-on (see above).
7.5.1 Input of PLUs
There are different ways to enter PLUs:
• Enter the PLU number, followed by the <PLU> key
• By depressing the direct PLU-key (e.g. < Small Cola > )
• By scanning the barcode of the item
7.5.2 Free price input
When you enter a PLU (see above), it will sell for its preset price. You
may also enter a different price, e.g. for goods with small faults that
you want to sell cheaper.
Free price input can be locked at your ECR or only be possible for
selected clerks.
To carry out free price input, enter a price and select the corresponding
PLU or department. Before selecting PLU or department you may
have to press the <Price> button.
Vectron POS ColorTouch24
Vectron POS ColorTouch 25
7.5.3 Payment
After all PLUs have been entered depress < Subtotal >. The sum of all
amounts is displayed and can be told to the customer. If the customer
pays cash, enter the amount that you get and depress <Cash>. The
change for the customer is displayed and the receipt is printed. If the
customer pays the exact amount you can directly depress <Cash>
without entering an amount.
If the customer does not pay cash, depress the key with the
respective media e.g. <EC> or <Visa> instead of <Cash>.
7.5.4 Payment in foreign currency
Since January 1st, 2002, the Vectron POS ColorTouch is factoryadjusted to Euro as basic currency. If you want to book in foreign
currencies, these must be dened. Please contact your Vectron
Systems dealer.
7.6 Void and merchandise return
Void and merchandise return are similar functions.
Void serves to cancel entries.
Merchandise return is a negative account where goods are taken
back and money is paid out or deducted from the open balance.
Void and merchandise return can only be carried out by clerks who
have been vested with the corresponding authorization.
7.6.1 Error correct
Depressing the key <Correction> deletes the last entered PLU-item.
Vectron POS ColorTouch 25
7.6.2 Void
If you wish to delete another PLU item depress <Void> and select the
PLU to be deleted via direct PLU key or PLU number (see above). If
you want to delete additional PLUs, press the <Void> key again.
7.6.3 Merchandise return
When working in a guest check, it is only possible to return those
PLUs that have previously been sold on this guest check. When in a
cash sale, you may return any PLU items.
To carry out a merchandise return press the <Merchandise Return>
key. The further procedure is identical with “Void”.
7.7 Change invoice format
Your dealer has adapted the invoice format according to your
requests. It may sometimes be necessary to change the format, e.g.
to print a receipt for entertainment expenses. In this case press the
<Change invoice format> key before closing the invoice.
