Attention!
Inserting the 7.4. keyboard template
The Vectron POS Vario without touch screen is exclusively
operated via the keyboard. The individual keyboard elements can be assigned individual functions. This facilitates
data input since you can book a PLU by simply pressing a
bu tton . For a bet ter overvi ew on the assigne d functions ,
you can use a keyboard template.
For models with a flat keyboard, lift the cover foil at the
front of the POS system and put the template under the
foil.
For models with a raised keyboard, the function tags for
each key have to be cut out. Put the function tag onto
the key, then put on the plastic cover. Make sure that the
cover is correctly adjusted. The tapered edge points at the
operator.
Using the touch screen7.5 .
If your POS system is equipped with a so-called touch
screen you can operate the touch-sensitive display by
using your finger. The monitor layout can be designed
accordin g to your de mands . For th e resp e ctive func tion s ,
elements can be created in this layout that considerably
ease the input of data, as it sometimes suffices to actuate
a touch button, e.g. to book to a PLU.
The touch screen may only be touched with fingers.
The use of pens, pencils or other sharp objects may damage the device.
No liability is accepted for such damages!

VECTRON POS MINI
Attention!
Inserting the 9.4. keyboard template
The Vectron POS Mini without touch screen is exclusively
operated via the keyboard. The individual keyboard elements can be assigned individual functions. This facilitates
data input since you can book a PLU by simply pressing a
button.
For a bet ter overvi ew on the assigne d f unctions , you c an
use a keyboard template. For placing the template below
the foil, lift the plastic cover foil at the fr ont of the c ash
register and put the template under the foil.
Using the touch screen9.5.
If your POS system is equipped with a so-called touch
screen you can operate the touch-sensitive display by
using your finger. The monitor layout can be designed
accordin g to your de mands . For th e resp e ctive func tion s ,
elements can be created in this layout that considerably
ease the input of data, as it sometimes suffices to actuate
a touch button, e.g. to book to a PLU.
The touch screen may only be touched with fingers.
The use of pens, pencils or other sharp objects may damage the device.

Operation12.
This chapter gives an overview on the functions of your Vectron
POS system and an introduction into the basic operating procedures. Your Vectron dealer has programmed your POS system to
meet your operating requirements. Some of your operating procedures may therefore differ from those described in this manual.
Your Vectron dealer will fully explain the functions installed for
you.
Th e foll owi ng operatin g i nstr ucti ons of th e PO S s ystem •
use the term „key“. The Vectron POS ColorTouch, POS
Vario and POS Mini with touch screen allow the application of the touch screen. „Key“ therefore refers to the

As of version 4.0 of the Vectron POS software the but-•
Notes
tons on the touch screen display their functions mainly
by small pictographs, so-called icons. The icons contained in the Vectron POS software and their meaning are
explained in the supplement.
Sign in and out at the POS system12.1.
The operator must si gn in to the Vectron POS sy stem in
order to enter PLUs or hold-buffers. Thus you can verify at
any time which operator has made which entries. Different
users can be vested with different authorizations, e.g. void.
There are various possibilities to sign in or out at the Vectron POS system.
64
VECTRON POS HARDWARE
Sign in with 12.1.1. key
You sign in to the Vectron POS system by holding the key
to the lock. If an additional secret number has been programmed, enter this number and confirm with <Enter>.
Sign in without key12.1.2.
Sign in without key is possible in case you have been
assigned a operator number and the sign in by key is not
compulsory. Enter this operator number and press the
<Operator> key or
and confirm with <Enter>.
12.1.3. Sign out
For sign out there are also various possibilities:
by removal of the • key

by closing the • receipt
by pressing the • <Operator> key or
. If required, enter your secret number
12.2. Guest checks and hold buffers
Guest checks and hold buffers serve to store several
invo ice s simultane ousl y. Th is fun c tion is often required in
restaurants, to store the goods consumed for each guest
check.
In retail, it can also be useful to store several invoices
simultaneously, if for instance in a bakery there is only one
cash register for several operators. 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 custo-
65
mers can be serviced until the customer returns with his
wallet.
12.2.1. Starting a new GC
To open a new guest check, enter the number and depress
the <GC> key or

Depending on the programming of your POS system, there
are several other possibilities. For instance you can first
print a subtotal invoice and then print the total invoice
after the guest decided on the mode of payment.
66
VECTRON POS HARDWARE
12.2.4. 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 operators who have been vested with the according authorization.
To split a G.C., it must be opened again. If necessary close
the GC and open it again. Press the <GC split> key or
lect the PLUs to be split via the direct PLU keys or via PLU
numbers. Having selected all PLUs close with <Cash> or
or another media key. The invoice is printed.
It may also happen that a guest changes the table. You can
then split PLUs from one GC to another.
Proceed as described above but before pressing the key
<GC split> or
PLUs are to be transferred. Close with <GC> key or
enter the number of the GC to which the

another operator (e.g. change of shift). Open the guest
check that is to be transferred. Enter the number of the
op erator to wh om the gues t check is to b e tran sferred an d
press <Shift change> or
.
Hold buffers12.2.7.
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 press a media key.
Depending on the p rogr ammi ng of the POS syste m a ho ld
buffer is automatically assigned to a certain operator. In
this cas e the hold bu ffer change is au tomatic ally ca rrie d
out if a new operator signs in.
Reports12.3.
The Vectron POS System offers numerous possibilities
to combine the bookings of a certain period or clerk in a
report. You can select all reports via the <Mode> key or <M>
or via special keys and print them afterwards.
Note
It is a lso possible to read re p orts by mea ns of the PC
program Vectron Commander and to process them on the
computer.
It depends on the programming and on the operators’
authorization which reports can be called. Please contact
your Vectron dealer.
68

Service and 13. maintenance
Attention!
Attention!
The POS system does not contain any parts that can be
ser viced by the us er. Plea se leave all maintenan ce and
service to the retailer.
Do no t c arry out any m aintenance or se r vice on your own .
Only authorized service staff may open the cabinet.
Un authorized manipul ati ons at th e power su pply Vectron
PS10 may be extremely dangerous and lead to a los s of
guarantee and liability claims.
Cleaning the cabinet13.1.
To clean your Vectron POS system please use a dry, flufffree cloth. In case of strong contamination you can wipe
the cabin et carefu lly with a d amp clo th that is soaked wit h
a mild cleaner.
Cleaning the display13.2.
To clean the display of your Vectron POS system please
use a clean, soft cloth, soaked with isopropy l a lco h ol if
necessary.
Disconnect the POS system from the • power supply before
cleaning.
In no case you should use a scouring agent or agents •
containing solvents or acids!
76
VECTRON POS HARDWARE
Screen saver13.3.
The Vectron POS systems POS Vario, POS ColorTouch and
PO S M ini have high -quality LCD scre ens with backgro und
lighting. The tubes of the background lighting have a service life of 45,000 to 50,000 hours.
This service life is considerably reduced by a frequent
switch on and off. An activated screen saver starts the
switch on and off, therefore th e i nte r val for the activation
of the scr een saver sho uld not be to o s hort.
Yet, if the interval is very long, the displayed elements
could burn in the LCD screen. This means that you can
ha rdl y reco gnize the el ement s a nd operate th em in case of
touch screens.
To avoid these problems we recommend to activate the
screen saver after approximately 30 minutes.
Please ask your Vectron dealer to check the interval of the
screen saver and adjust it to 30 minutes if necessary.
