Configuration & Setup

Overview

`The POSey Point-of-Sale system is designed to fit any POS application.It`
`requires some a knowledge of cash register and computer terminology.If you`
`are not sure of a term, please refer to the glossary of terms in the appendix`
`to this manual.`

`The configuration programs listed in the Configuration Menu are used to`
`specify the hardware and parameters used by each cash register in the`
`system.Configuration information is stored in the \POSEY directory, and is`
`therefore local to each Register.This means that the configuration must be`
`done for each machine is a multi-computer system.Allowing each Register to`
`be configured separately provides for the maximum flexibility in custom`
`systems.`

`In addition to the configuration programs, there is also a file named`
`POSEY.CFG which contains numerous setup options for the POSey system.The`
`various setup options that may be used in the POSEY.CFG file are described`
`in detail in the Appendix, "Configuration Using POSEY.CFG".`

Demo/Training Setup

`When you install the POSey software, it is automatically configured to`
`operate under a default set of conditions.One of the setup options is to`
`install a demonstration data set.`

`For demonstration purposes, the POSey system may be operated right "out of`
`the box" as a cash register with the demo data using a touch screen, light`
`pen, or mouse.Additional configuration is necessary if you want to support`
`peripheral devices such as receipt printers, auxiliary printers, bar code`
`scanners, mag card readers, etc.`

`The dealer may set up multiple demos on one machine, or the end-user may set`
`up a special data directory for training new clerks.`

`The original distribution disks also provide an option to install blank data`
`files.You may elect to begin programming your POSey installations from`
`either the blank data set or the DEMO data set.Or, you may find it`
`advantageous to use the data files from a previous POSey installation you`
`have done.`

System Configuration

`The programs listed in the Configuration Menu are used to define the`
`environment in which the cash register system will be used.Proper`
`configuration is probably the most important step in setting up a successful`
`POSey Point-of-Sale system.`

`It is very important that the POSey system is not set up to use a piece of`
`equipment that is not connected to the computer, or that isn't working`
`properly.If you configure the system for the wrong equipment, the Cash`
`Register or other programs may not be able to execute properly.The result`
`may be error messages, computer lockups, or other unexpected conditions.Be`
`sure to configure the system properly, and when equipment is removed or`
`change, change the configuration to reflect the modifications.`

Register Configuration

`The Register Configuration program is used to specify many of the most`
`important functions and parameters of the system.The term "Register`
`Configuration" is derived from the fact that this configuration data`
`directly affects the operation or options of the Cash Register.`

`There are five data entry screens in the Register Configuration program.`
`You may move from one screen to another using the PageUp and PageDown`
`keys.When you are ready to save your data, hit the F10 key.`

`Each Register Configuration section will be explained in detail below.`

Data File Paths

`The data file paths define the location of the various data files that are`
`used by the POSey system.Each data path should end with a backslash`
`character.See your MS-DOS manual for a detailed description of data paths,`
`and how they are used to locate files.`

`Do not get the POSey data file paths confused with the DOS PATH command.`
`The PATH command is used to find programs which are being executed at the`
`DOS prompt, whereas the data file paths entered in Register Configuration`
`allow the POSey system to find its data files.`

`Typically, all data paths will point to the \POSEY\FILES directory on the`
`file server.On the file server machine, the full path would be specified`
`as;`

`C:\POSEY\FILES\`

`Other machines connected to the same network, would use a drive letter that`
`has been assigned to the hard drive on the file server (usually drive D).`
`For example;`

`D:\POSEY\FILES\`

`You may use other drive letters, as may be appropriate to your system.It`
`is also possible to keep each category of data file in separate directories,`
`but there is probably no practical reason to do so.Our tech support staff`
`will normally expect all of your data files to be stored in the \POSEY\FILES`
`directory of the file server machine.`

`Note that the system will not allow the path for the Password data file to`
`be changed unless the new path specification is valid, and the PARMS.DAT`
`file is found in that path.`

`It is important to understand that if you change these data paths, the POSey`
`system DOES NOT automatically copy your existing data files from the`
`previous path into the new directory.`

`Following is a partial list of the different data files stored in each of`
`the twelve data paths.Since the POSey system is continually being`
`upgraded and enhanced, many other files are stored in these same paths.`

`* The credit card authorization file path must point to the same`
`directory as specified with the "SET SMOKYMTN=" command used when`
`installing the credit card software.Credit card authorization is`
`an optional program which is sold and installed separately.`

Keyboard

Keyboard Type

`This section tells the system which keyboard to use.The POSey Cash`
`Register must know what type of POS keyboard is attached in order to`
`function correctly.`

`See the Appendix, "POS Keyboard Types" for a list of supported keyboards and`
`their numbers.To change the keyboard type, change the keyboard number.To`
`obtain a list of valid keyboard types, hit the F2 key.Note that changes`
`will also have to be made using the Key Programming program before the`
`keyboard will function correctly.`

Compulsory Logon

`This Yes/No field causes the Register to force a clerk to logon with`
`his clerk I.D. before each transaction.This is often used when the same`
`clerk rarely rings two or more sales in a row.A good example would be a`
`Register set up to be used by servers in a restaurant.__If the Register is`
`used in an environment where only one clerk in is charge (as in a`
`convenience store), this option would normally not be used.`

`The default setting for Compulsory Logon is No.`

C.A.R.E.

`C.A.R.E. is an option supported only for backward compatiblility with previous`
`versions of POSey.__Current systems should have this flag set to 'N'.`

Register

`The Register section allows for setting various switches and types of the`
`most common equipment that may be installed on the system.__As the`
`complexity of the configuration increases, it may be necessary to use other`
`configuration programs from the Configuration and Setup Menu, or to add`
`setup info to the POSEY.CFG file.`

CST Com Port #

`This field tells the system where to find the CST SmartCard reader.Valid`
`values are 1 or 2, for COM1 and COM2 respectively.If no CST is used on the`
`system, this field should be set to zero.__The SmartCard key on the Register`
`will not perform any function unless the CST Com Port is set to a valid port`
`number.`

Net By Discount

`This option tells the Register how to handle discounts.If it is set to`
`Yes, the Register will subtract the amount of discount from the item's sale`
`price before updating the department total for that item.If it is set to`
`No, the Register will update the department total with the undiscounted`
`price.`

Receipt Option

`The POSey system is capable of printing receipts in a variety of styles,`
`depending on the number entered in this field.Option 0 is used for the`
`normal receipt.See the Appendix, "Receipt Options" for a list of receipt`
`option numbers and sample printouts.`

Auxiliary Printer Option

`In many installations the Auxiliary Printer will be set up as one or more`
`kitchen printers.The Auxiliary Printer Option tells the POSey system how`
`the kitchen ticket should look.Option 0 is used for the normal kitchen`
`ticket.__See the Appendix, "Auxiliary Printer Options" for a list of valid`
`option numbers and sample printouts.`

Receipt Prioritize

`The POSey Cash Register has the capability of prioritizing items that are`
`sold.In other words, it will arrange the order of the items in the sale so`
`that those you consider to be most important will be shown first on the`
`display screen, and printed first on the receipt printer and auxiliary`
`printers.`

`To take advantage of this feature, the priority of each inventory item to be`
`sold should be entered into the first two digits of the Merchandise Class`
`field.See the chapter on inventory entry for information about entering an`
`inventory item.Priority level "01" is the highest priority, and level "99"`
`is the lowest priority.Items with higher priority will be moved to the top`
`of the receipt when the Receipt Prioritize flag is set to "Y".`

`It is important to note that you must use buffered receipt printers and`
`buffered kitchen printers in order to take advantage of this feature.`

`NOTE: The Prioritize Receipt option only works if you are using the standard`
`scroll box type of condiment selection.__If you are using Preset`
`Memo/Condiment keys to add condiments to your items, the condiments will not`
`be prioritized correctly.`

Compulsory Customer Track

`If this flag is set to "Y" the Register will force the operator to identify`
`a customer track account before a transaction may be entered.`

Electronic Audit Tape

`The POSey system has the capability of recording all Register activity on`
`the hard disk.If this flag is set to 'Y', a disk audit tape of Register`
`activity will be written to the \POSEY directory on the local drive (not the`
`file server).The name of the file will be YYMMDD.RRR where;`

`YY= year`
`MM= month`
`DD= day`
`RRR = register number`

`The "Audit File Analysis" option on the Register Report Menu allows you to`
`extract a variety of information from these audit tape files.Since the`
`electronic audit tape files are in ASCII text format, you may also view them`
`with a text editor.`

`Normally, writing audit data to the disk is not necessary unless you are`
`troubleshooting a problem or using the files for data import to another`
`program.`

`If you do elect to use the Electronic Audit Tape feature, keep in mind that`
`the audit tape files can consume a lot of disk space.It is recommended`
`that you do regular maintenance to eliminated old audit files which are no`
`longer needed.This can be done in your daily shutdown procedures with the`
`program DELPROG.EXE, which is included with the POSey package.This program`
`can be used to delete files which are past a certain threshold age.The`
`syntax is;`

`__DELPROG filename n`

`where "filename" is the name of the file or files to delete (may contain`
`wildcard characters), and "n" is the number of days old.`

`For example;`

`DELPROG *.1 30`

`will delete all audit tape files from register 1 which are at least 30 days`
`old.`

`Other options are available for audit tracking and troubleshooting of`
`systems.See entries for "AUDIT." in the Appendix, "Configuration Using`
`POSEY.CFG".`

Pole Switch

`This field tells the system whether a pole display is being used.This is a`
`Yes/No field.The default is no pole display.`

Pole Type

`If a pole display is being used (i.e. the Pole Switch is set to 'Y'), enter`
`the type number for the pole display.Hit the F2 key to select from a`
`list of valid pole display types.Or see the Appendix, "Pole Display`
`Types" for a list of supported pole display types.If the Pole Switch is`
`set to 'N', the Pole Type is ignored.`

`If the communication parameters for the pole display are the same as the`
`barcode reader, it may be possible for the pole display to share the same`
`COM port with a type 10 or type 11 barcode reader.A custom 'Y' cable will`
`need to be made to allow the physical connection of the two devices on the`
`same port.Refer to the technical manuals of both devices to determine the`
`proper cable pinouts.`

`Normally, the ground line must be routed to both sides of the 'Y', the data`
`transmit line to one side of the 'Y', and the data receive line to the other`
`side of the 'Y'.The data transmit line is pin 2 on a DB-25 connector and`
`pin 3 on a DB-9 connector.The data receive line is pin 3 on a DB-25`
`connector and pin 2 on a DB-9 connector.The pole display connects to the`
`side of the 'Y' with the data transmit line, and the barcode reader connects`
`to the side of the 'Y' with the data receive line.__Othe handshaking lines`
`may need to be connected or jumpered, depending on the type of devices being`
`used.`

Drawer Switch

`This is a Yes/No field indicating whether a cash drawer is being used.Set`
`the field to 'Y' if you are using a cash drawer.The default is no cash`
`drawer.`

`If the Drawer Switch is set to 'C', this indicates Compulsory Drawer Mode.`
`In Compulsory Drawer mode, the Register will check the cash drawer status`
`and make sure it is closed before a new transaction may begin.__The only`
`drawer types which support use of Compulsory Drawer mode are type 9`
`(IPC/TEC), types 17 and 18 (IBM 4690 series/4655), and type 21 (Ithaca printer`
`activated).`

Drawer Type

`If a cash drawer is used on the register, the Drawer Switch should be set to`
`'Y', and the drawer type should be entered in this field.Hit F2 to select`
`from a list of valid drawer types.Or see the Appendix, "Cash Drawer Types"`
`for a list of support cash drawers and their type numbers.__If the Drawer`
`Switch is set to 'N', the drawer type will be ignored.`

Compulsory Tender

`This Yes/No field enables the compulsory tender mode when set to 'Y'.`
`Compulsory tendering means that the clerk must enter the amount of media`
`received from the customer for tendering against the sale before the media`
`key is depressed.If the media key is hit without entering an amount, a`
`message will be displayed as a reminder to enter the amount first.`

`The default for the option is no compulsory tender.This allows the clerk`
`to simply hit the media key to tender the sale when the amount received from`
`the customer is exactly the amount due.`

Store Number

`This number is normally printed on the receipt and is used to identify`
`different stores.The store number may also appear on invoices or open`
`account statements.The default store number is 1.`

Register Number

`This number identifies the local register.Each register in a`
`multi-register system MUST be given a unique register number.The register`
`number is printed on sales reports, and may be printed on receipts or`
`kitchen tickets.__The register number is also used as the file name`
`extension when naming the electronic audit tape files.`

Coin Dispenser

`This Yes/No field tells the system if a coin dispenser is to be used.Set`
`the field to 'Y' if you will be using a coin dispenser.The default is no`
`coin dispenser.`

Coin Dispenser Type

`If a coin dispenser will be used, enter the type number for the coin`
`dispenser in this field.Hit the F2 key to select from a list of valid coin`
`dispenser types.A complete list of supported coin dispensers can be found`
`in the Appendix, "Coin Dispenser Types".__If the Coin Dispenser Switch is`
`set to 'N', this field will be ignored.`

Selective Itemizers

`Selective itemizers provide a means for the register to perform`
`percentage calculations for addition to the sale.These percentage`
`additions to the sale may be done for specific inventory items which`
`are sold, depending on the state of the SI flags in the inventory`
`record.Whether a particular item sold is subject to certain`
`selective itemizers may also be overridden using specially programmed`
`keys on the register.`

`The most obvious and important use for selective itemizers is in the`
`percentage or breakpoint calculation of sales tax.Selective itemizer #1 is`
`reserved for this purpose.Three additional selective itemizers are`
`provided (#2 through #4).These may be used for other types of taxes or`
`fees which need to be collected based on a percentage or breakpoint`
`calculation.`

`Screen #2 of Register Configuration is used for setting up selective`
`itemizers #1 and #2.Screen #3 is used for setting up selective itemizers`
`#3 and #4.`

`NOTE: The minimum dollar amount at which a specific selective itemizer`
`begins applying its percentage or breakpoint calculation may be specified`
`using the "No Tax Limit" entry on Screen 5 of System Configuration.`

Selective Itemizer Name

`Each selective itemizer should be assigned a name.For instance, Tax (FL)`
`for Florida sales tax.If no name is given, the SI will not be used by the`
`Register.`

Percentage

`This field tells the Register the percentage rate to use to calculate the`
`selective itemizer.The actual SI amount will be calculated as the`
`specified percent of the items subject to the SI, and rounded to the nearest`
`penny.This method tends to be less accurate than the breakpoint method.`
`If both breakpoints and a percentage are entered, the Register will use the`
`breakpoints to calculate the SI amounts.`

Break Points

`Thirty-one breakpoint fields are provided for entry of SI calculation`
`breakpoints.Calculation by breakpoints is very similar to the tax tables`
`used in electronic cash registers (ECR's).For sales tax purposes, enter`
`the breakpoints directly from the state sales tax table.For each penny`
`increase in tax, enter the breakpoint amount where that amount of tax is`
`charged.The table must be filled in until it begins to repeat itself for`
`amounts less than a dollar.If you use breakpoint calculation, you MUST`
`make entries until a breakpoint of over one dollar is reached.`

`In some states, the tax table may not have any breakpoint where 1 cent of`
`tax is charged.In these cases, enter the same breakpoint for 1 cent as`
`for 2 cents.For example, if no tax is charge until the sale amount reaches`
`18 cents, and 2 cents is charged at that point ... enter 18 cents as the`
`breakpoint for both 1 cent and 2 cents.`

`Note: In states where the tax is a true percentage except for the first`
`dollar, fill in the breakpoint chart until the breakpoints are one dollar or`
`higher.If the state breakpoint chart does not go higher than a dollar,`
`continue to enter breakpoints by calculating the amount of the breakpoint`
`using the actual percentage method.__Continue adding breakpoints in this`
`manner until the fractional portion of the breakpoints begin repeating.`

Other Uses for Selective Itemizers

`Selective itemizers may be used in any case where it is necessary to`
`calculate a percentage of certain items and add the amount to the sale.For`
`instance, it would be possible to setup a mandatory gratuity by setting up`
`one of the SI's with the name, "Gratuity", and a percentage of 15 percent.`
`All inventory items would then need to have the SI flag for the "Gratuity"`
`set to 'Y'.`

`Another use for selective itemizers is the calculations for food stamps.`
`This is done by giving the SI the name "Food Stamps" and giving it a 0.0`
`percentage.The SI will not cause any amount to be added to the sale,`
`however it will cause the system to keep track of the amount of the sale`
`which may be tendered with food stamps.The food stampable amount may be`
`displayed using the "Food Stamp" Register key.See "Register Keyboard`
`Programming, Key Programming, Food Stamps Key".`

Condiments

Condiment Accept Code

`When using a POS keyboard other than a touchscreen, light pen, or mouse, a`
`key must be identified to select condiments in a condiment selection window.`
`If none is specified, the system will automatically select the highlighted`
`condiment when the first key that is not used for cursor movement, or clear,`
`is pressed.`

`If you want to specify a particular key to use for condiment selection,`
`enter the function code of the key in this field.For example, if you want`
`to use the At/For key to be used for condiment selection, enter the number 9`
`in this field.Nine is the Register key function number for the At/For key.`

Receipt Printer

`The receipt printer is the main printer associated with the Cash Register.`
`The POSey system tries to make interfacing to this printer as easy as`
`possible.Each Register may be configured for a different type of receipt`
`printer.`

`In addition to the different types of receipt printers, there are a variety`
`of receipt printing options which affect the content and appearance of`
`receipts.See the section, "Register Configuration, Receipt Option" for`
`more information about receipt options.`

Printer Switch

`This is a yes/no field which indicates whether receipts should be printed.`
`When this field is set to 'Y', the receipt printer will be active when the`
`Register starts.Every receipt will pe printed to the receipt printer.`

`When the switch is set to 'N', the printer will not be used when starting`
`the Register.This setting is normally used for a "receipt after sale"`
`where receipts are not printed except on demand.To print a receipt when`
`the receipt printer switch is off, hit INQUIRY, the number of receipts to`
`print (from 1 to 9), and then hit the CASH key.`

`The POSey system allows the receipt printer switch to be toggled on or off`
`while using the Cash Register by entering INQUIRY, the number zero, and`
`then hitting the CASH key.When this done, a message will be displayed`
`telling the current printer off/on status.`

`When using the receipt printer to print guest checks, the setting of the`
`receipt printer switch is ignored.The program determines whether checks`
`are to be printed from the programming of the Guest Check key.This applies`
`for both soft guest checks printed on continuous roll paper, and for checks`
`printed on a slip printer.`

`IMPORTANT NOTE: Since the POSey system supports the concept of receipt after`
`sale, where receipts or guest checks may be printed regardless of the`
`setting of the receipt printer switch, it always expects to find some type`
`of receipt printer configured for each Register.In situations where NO`
`RECEIPT PRINTER will be attached to a Register, you should set the printer`
`type to a valid value, and select location 0 for the printer ... this causes`
`the receipt printer output to be discarded.Or alternatively, you can`
`specify location 5, which will cause receipt printer output to be redirected`
`to a disk file.__Failure to specify a valid location may result in a device`
`or I/O error when starting the Register.`

Location

`This entry tells the Register which hardware port to use when outputting to`
`the receipt printer.The location you specify will be checked when the`
`Register is started, even if the receipt printer switch is set to 'N'.`
`Therefore it is important to select a valid location.If no receipt printer`
`will be attached to the system, select location 0 or location 5.`

`You may choose the receipt printer location from any of these values;`

`Location 0No receipt printer attached`
`Location 1LPT1 parallel port`
`Location 2LPT2 parallel port`
`Location 3COM1 serial port`
`Location 4COM2 serial port`
`Location 5____File output to PRINTS.DAT in POSEY directory`

Type

`This value defines the type of printer on which the receipt will be printed.`
`The following printer types are supported;`

`Type 140 column live receipt printer`
`Type 235 column live receipt printer`
`Type 440 column buffered receipt or guest check printer`
`Type 840 column buffered hard check slip printer`
`Type 99_Custom printer configuration (see below)`

`A live receipt printer will print each line of the transaction as it is rung`
`on the Register, including void lines.The buffered receipt (type 4) is`
`more popular, since it does not print the receipt until the sale is`
`finalized, and does not print corrections to the receipt as they are made.`
`Note that a buffered printer must be used for guest checks.A buffered`
`receipt printer is also required for printing a receipt after sale.`

`Type 99 is a special setting which is used for any printer that requires`
`more detailed configuration information.This includes any serial printer`
`(location 3 or 4), since the Register must be told the communications`
`parameters for the printer.This also includes any printer on which you`
`want to use special features such as red print, paper cut, or enlarged text.`

`When you specify 99 as the printer type, the additional configuration`
`information is entered using the RECEIPT PRINTER CONFIGURATION program.`
`This program is selected from the Configuration Menu.`

Report Printer (Y/N)

`This yes/no field is used to identify which printer will be used to print`
`Register reports.Either the receipt printer or the auxiliary printer may`
`be used.One or the other should be marked 'Y' in the Report Printer field.`
`If both are marked 'Y' the receipt printer will be used.`

`Note that the report printer selected here is the one that will be used when`
`printing Register reports (from the Register Report Menu).__The printer used`
`for printing reports generated by back-office utilities is specified`
`elsewhere.`

Bottom Line Feeds

`Not all printers have the same tear-off line.The POSey system is capable`
`of adding extra line feeds to the bottom of a receipt in order to allow`
`clean removal of the receipt.The default value for bottom line feeds is 3.`

Heading

`Three lines may entered that will print at the top of each receipt.Heading`
`line #1 will also be used on the Pole Display, if one is attached to the`
`Register.If you want the lines to be centered on the receipt, be sure to`
`center the lines when you enter them in these fields.`

`If you are using a slip printer, it may be configured to print this heading`
`on the slip check or to omit the header when printing on pre-printed slips.`

Trailer

`These are the final two lines on the receipt.__They can be used as a "Thank`
`You" message, for a phone number, or for any purpose desired.`

Auxiliary Printer

`This is a yes/no field which indicates whether an auxiliary printer`
`is used with this Register.__When this field is set to 'Y', an auxiliary`
`printer should be attached and on-line when the Register is started.`
`The auxiliary printer may be a kitchen printer, kitchen screen, invoice`
`printer, ticket printer, or other special purpose device.`

Location

`This entry tells the Register which hardware port to use when outputting to`
`the auxiliary printer.You may choose the auxiliary printer location from`
`any of these values;`

`Location 1LPT1 parallel port`
`Location 2LPT2 parallel port`
`Location 3COM1 serial port`
`Location 4COM2 serial port`
`Location 5____File output to PRINTS2.DAT in POSEY directory`

Type

`This value defines the type of auxiliary printer used with this Register.`
`The following auxiliary devices are supported;`

`Type 140 column (used for Register reports only)`
`Type 235 column (used for Register reports only)`
`Type 380 column (used for Register reports only)`
`Type 540 column live kitchen printer`
`Type 640 column buffered kitchen printer`
`Type 7Ticket printer`
`Type 8__40 column buffered hard check slip printer`
`Type 10_80 column invoice (every transaction)`
`Type 11_80 column invoice (house charge transactions only)`
`Type 12_40 column buffered redirectional kitchen printer`

Barcode Info

`The POSey system can use many different barcode readers.Each reader has`
`it's own way of reading barcode and transmitting the data to the computer.`
`This section of the Configuration Program tells the Register how to`
`communicate correctly with the barcode reader.`

`In addition to the Cash Register program, some of the inventory programs can`
`take advantage of a barcode reader.Inventory Entry/Edit can read from the`
`barcode reader to input item numbers.__And the Inventory Variance Report can`
`utilize a Metrologic ScanPal data collector for inputting data for physical`
`inventory levels.`

Barcode Switch

`This is a yes/no field which tells the system whether or not a barcode`
`reader is used for data entry.__If a reader is not connected to this unit,`
`leave this field set to 'N'.`

Barcode Type

`This field defines the type of model of barcode reader attached to the`
`system.The default is 1, which is a keyboard wedge reader.For a complete`
`list of supported barcode readers, see the Appendix, "Barcode Reader Types".`

`If you will be using a serial barcode reader and a pole display together, it`
`is possible to connect them to the same COM port.__See the section,`
`"Register Configuration, Pole Type" for more information about how this is`
`done.`

Leader Characters

`These four fields are used to enter the ASCII decimal value of the leading`
`character that some barcode readers send as a part of the data.Not all`
`readers use this function, and if you are using a programmable serial`
`scanner, you should program it to send NO leading characters.`

`If you are using a type 1 wedge scanner, it MUST be programmed to send a`
`leading character so that the POSey software can differentiate between`
`scanner input and input from the keyboard.If you use a keyboard wedge`
`scanner that cannot be programmed to generate a leading character, the`
`Register will not be able to do automatic barcode PLU ringups.`

Scanning UPC

`Some installations will need the leading zero character stripped from some`
`barcodes (i.e. UPC-A).This option is used to perform that option.If you`
`will be using the barcode reader to do automatic PLU ringups on industry`
`standard barcode labels, this option should be set to 'Y'.`

Requested

`If you will be using the Request Item function (used for checking stock on`
`an item before it is sold), this field must set to 'Y'.If an item is`
`scanned with this option set, the item must have been requested first.If`
`the item was not requested, the Register will not add it to the sale.`

Dealer Message

`The dealer message entered here is displayed by the Register screen saver.`
`You may enter any message you choose ... usually an advertising message, or`
`the name of the store.`

`This message is also shown on the Register Report Menu on keyboard-based`
`systems (but not on touch-screen or light-pen systems).`

Guest Check

`Setting this yes/no field to 'Y' forces all Register transactions to be rung`
`up in a guest check.__Any attempt to enter a transaction outside of a guest`
`check will result in the Register message, "Must Open a Guest Check!".`

No Tax Limit

`This section allows you to enter a dollar point at which a Selective`
`Itemizer will start applying it's percentage or breakpoint amount.There is`
`a field for each of the four itemizers that are supported in the POSey`
`system.See Screens 2 and 3 of System Configuration for entry of Selective`
`Itemizers.`

Receipt Printer Configuration

`This program allows you to enter extended receipt printer configuration`
`information whenever the Receipt Printer Type specified in Register`
`Configuration is set to type 99.Type 99 must be specified in the Register`
`Receipt Printer Configuration whenever a serial printer is used (location 3`
`or 4), or whenever special printer functions are necessary, like red print,`
`paper cut, or enlarged text.A type 99 receipt printer simply tells the`
`POSey software to refer to this program entry screen for detailed`
`configuration information.`

Printer Function

`The printer function is the same as "Printer Type" in Register`
`Configuration.Valid receipt printer types you may enter are;`

`Type 140 column live receipt printer`
`Type 235 column live receipt printer`
`Type 440 column buffered receipt or guest check printer`
`Type 840 column buffered hard check slip printer`
`Type 99___Custom printer configuration (see below)`

`When you select the printer function, the program will automatically provide`
`a description of the type of printer you have selected.`

Serial Configuration

`Enter the baud rate, parity type, number of data and stop bits for serial`
`printers.__Most printers use default values of 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data`
`bits, and 1 stop bit.`

`If you are using a parallel interface receipt printer, these fields may be`
`ignored.`

Printer Control Codes

`In order to perform custom functions with the receipt printer, you must`
`enter the appropriate control codes required to activate those features on`
`your printer.Since there are a variety of different printers available, it`
`is not possible for the POSey software to know the codes for every printer.`
`Consult the technical manual for your printer to determine the control codes`
`for each desired feature.`

`Each control code sequence should be entered as ASCII decimal values.For`
`example, the ESCAPE character would be entered as the number 27, and the`
`letter 'A' would be entered as the number 65.__Consult an ASCII table for`
`conversions between various number bases.`

Initialization

`This command is sent to the receipt printer when a report or receipt is`
`starting to print.If the printer requires special initialization, enter`
`the control codes here.For example, Epson printers use the control codes`
`ESC @ to initialize them to power up status.`

CR/LF (Carriage Return/Line Feed)

`Some printers require a carriage return and/or a line feed character to be`
`sent before a line of text will be printed.Others may generate a line feed`
`when they receive a carriage return or vice-versa.`

`If your printer is printing all the text on the same line, try putting a`
`code 10 in these fields.If this does not produce the desired results, try`
`putting a code 10 and 13 in these fields.`

`If your printer is double spacing the text, you may need to remove either`
`the line feed character (code 10) or the carriage return character (code`
`13), or both.`

Open Drawer

`If you are using a type 1 cash drawer (printer activated) leave these codes`
`blank.For a type 1 drawer, the POSey program automatically sends a code 7`
`to the printer to open the drawer.`

`If you are using a type 20 cash drawer (Epson printer activated) you should`
`also leave these fields blank.However, make sure the drawer number entered`
`in the Clerk Entry/Edit program is set to 1 or 2.`

`For other types of cash drawers, put the control codes needed to open the`
`cash drawer.For multi-drawer setups, it is assumed that the last control`
`code needed is the one which specifies the particular cash drawer to open.`
`The POSey system will add the last control code to the drawer number entry`
`of the Clerk record to obtain the actual control code to send to the drawer.`
`For instance, if the drawer requires ESC 7 to be sent as the open drawer`
`code for drawer number 1, enter the codes 27, 6.The last code (ASCII 6)`
`will be added to the clerk drawer number (number 1) to derive code 7.__Note`
`that if you leave the drawer open code for the clerk blank, drawer number 1`
`will be assumed.`

Full Cut

`These are the codes sent to the printer at the end of a transaction to cut`
`the receipt.Many printers have two paper cut options ... full cut or`
`partial cut.Full cut completely separates the receipt from the paper roll.`

Partial Cut

`These are the codes sent to the printer at the end of a transaction to`
`partially cut the receipt.__A partial cut receipt is still connected to the`
`roll paper, but allows the clerk to tear the receipt off easily.`

Normal Print

`These control codes are used to return the printer to a "normal" print mode,`
`after using some of the special modes like red print or enlarged print.__In`
`many cases, this control code sequence may not be required unless there is`
`no Red Off or Enlarged Off code available.`

Red Print

`These commands specify how to put the printer in the red print mode.If`
`available, the POSey Register will use red print for condiments.Note that`
`not all printers will have red print available.If you enter control codes`
`to enable red print, you must also enter control codes to turn red printing`
`off.If no red print off command is available, you may need to use the`
`printer initialization codes to turn red print off.`

Red Print Off

`These are the commands required to turn red printing off.__If no red print`
`off command is available, you may need to use the printer initialization`
`codes to turn red print off.`

Enlarged Print

`This command will enable the Register to switch to enlarged print mode when`
`necessary.Different receipt printer options may use enlarged print in`
`different ways.To determine which receipt is best suited for your`
`application, try experimenting with the different receipt printer options`
`for the best results.`

Enlarged Print Off

`These commands are use to disable large print.__If there is no command to`
`disable large print, you may need to use a command to switch to the normal`
`font, or the command to reset the printer to power-up status.`

Validate Open

`Enter the codes needed to open the printer clamps for check validation.__The`
`POSey Register will prompt you to, "Insert Check".`

Validate Close

`Enter the codes needed to close the printer clamps for check validation.`

Validate Eject

`Enter the control codes needed to eject the check from the printer.`

Validate Stop

`Enter the codes needed to end the check validation process and reset the`
`printer.`

Remote Printer Configuration

`Each inventory item in the system can be directed to one kitchen printer.`
`The printer to which output is directed is specified by putting the printer`
`number (redirection controller port number) in the Printer Number field of`
`the inventory item.`

`In some cases it would be desirable to have one or more Registers not print`
`certain items to certain printers, or to have some items print to more than`
`one printer.Special printing configurations such as this can be`
`accomplished by using Remote Printer Configuration.`

`For example, in a restaurant with a bar, the wait station needs to print to`
`both the kitchen and the bar so that the cook and the bartender know what`
`orders to prepare.However, the bar station does not need to print orders`
`to the bar, since the bartender already knows what he has rung up.`

`It is also possible to have a Register switch printers based on the time.`
`This feature is useful in an installation that may have two bars, but the`
`second bar doesn't open until after five o'clock.__At five, the Registers on`
`one side of the installation can redirect to the closer second bar, while`
`the other Registers print as before.`

Remote Printer Number

`The system supports printers numbered from zero to nine.Zero indicates`
`that an item is not to be printed, and the numbers 1 to 9 correlate with`
`port numbers on the redirectional controller box.A printer number is`
`associated with each inventory item that can be sold.This printer number`
`can be mapped to another number using this program.`

`The printer number that is to be mapped or redirected is entered into the`
`first field on the screen.This is followed by instructions about the`
`actions which can take place concerning this printer number.`

Default Redirection Printer Number

`Use this field to specify the default printer port to which this remote`
`printer will be redirected.In most cases, the default redirection port`
`might be the same as the remote printer number.`

`In cases where this Register should not print items going to a particular`
`port, the default redirection number can be set to zero.This would be the`
`case where the bar Register should not print to the bar printer.`

`Another common use for the default redirection printer number is to make`
`sure that all printers in the system are redirected to a valid printer port.`
`The redirectional controller boxes have some ports that are computer ports`
`and other ports that are used as printer output ports.If an order is`
`inadvertantly printed to a computer (input) port, problems by occur.This`
`situation can be avoided by creating a Remote Printer Configuration record`
`for each possible printer number (ranged from 1 to 9) and mapping all of`
`them to a valid printer port.`

Manual Override

`A manual remote printer override key may be programmed on the cash register.`
`This key is used to override the default remote printer so that the clerk`
`may send particular orders or items to a different printer.`

`The "Allow Manual Override" field tells the Register whether such a manual`
`override is allowed for this printer, and the "Manaul Override Default"`
`field specifies which printer number will be used when the manual override`
`order is received.__See the description for the Remote Printer Override key`
`for a more detailed explanation.`

Time Override

`The next block of fields are used to set the times for automatic redirection`
`based on time periods.The configuration does not allow the time to cross`
`midnight, so if you need to cross midnight, use two time settings.All`
`times should be entered in 24 hour format.`

`The time override feature might be used in the multiple-bar scenario`
`described above, where printing automatically commences at the second bar`
`after a specific opening time.`

Duplicate Printers

`In many cases it is desirable to have an item print to more than one remote`
`printer.For instance, if there is a printer in the salad prep area and`
`another printer in the kitchen, the cook may want all orders going to salad`
`prep to also print in the kitchen.Another use for duplicate printers is`
`when the management wants to monitor orders going to all remote printers.`
`In this case, all printers can duplicate to a monitor printer located in the`
`manager's office.`

`To duplicate printing to another printer, put the duplicate printer number`
`in the "Duplicate R/P Number" field.If the "Merge Duplicate" field is set`
`to a 'Y', the duplicate order will be merged with other items on the same`
`order which are being sent to the duplicate order, and they will be printed`
`as one order.If "Merge Duplicate" is set to 'N', the order to each printer`
`will be printed on the duplicate printer as if it were a separate order.`

`This program allows for the configuration of a scale that will be used by`
`the Register to calculate the price of scaled items.In order to price`
`items by weight, the "Scale Item" flag in the inventory record must be set`
`to 'Y'.This will cause the Register to read the weight from the scale and`
`multiply the weight in pounds by the price.__In other words, the scale`
`weight in pounds is used as the item quantity.`

Scale Switch

`This yes/no field tells the Register if a scale is connected to the system.`
`If this field is set to 'Y', the scale weight will be used as the item`
`quantity when selling an item at the Register.__If you enter a 'N' here, or`
`leave the field blank, the scale will not be read and scaled items will be`
`sold just like any other inventory item.`

Scale Type

`Enter the scale type number which indicates the model of scale you are`
`using.__A list of supported scale types can be found in the Appendix, "Scale`
`Types".`

Serial Configuration

`Enter the COM port number, baud rate, parity, number of data bits, and`
`number of stop bits required for serial interface scales.The COM port may`
`be any port from COM1 to COM4.If a non-existent COM port is specified you`
`will receive an error when you start the Register program.`

Scale Commands

`Three commands are used by the POSey Register when communicating with the`
`scale; get weight, get status, and zero scale.You should enter the`
`control codes required by the scale to perform these functions.Note that`
`not all functions may be supported by all scales.`

`The "get weight" command is sent to the scale to request the weight.__The`
`"get status" command is used to determine the current status of the scale.`
`And the "zero scale" command causes the scale to reset and find it's zero`
`point.`

Keylock Configuration

`This is an optional addition for point of sale machines with an integral`
`keylock only.Currently, the only systems supported for keylock configuration`
`are the IPC, KeyTech, TEC, and IBM SureOne.`

`The keylock is a physical lock on the machine which has several positions.`
`Each position can be programmed as a keystroke.The key number in keyboard`
`programming will be the negative value of the position.In other words,`
`position 5 will have a key number -5).Macros may be used to assign`
`multiple keystrokes to each keylock position.__As an example of the use of`
`the keylock, you might program a certain position to exit the register, run`
`a series of reports, and the return to the Register.`

Time Delay

`When the key is turned, the system will wait for the key to settle in the`
`new position before accepting it.The time delay specified dictates how`
`long the key must be left in a new position before it will be accepted.The`
`time delay allows the keylock to be turned through several positions without`
`activating them, until the keylock is left in a particular position for the`
`specified time delay.`

Activity Section

`For each of the six IPC keylock positions, a grid of yes/no fields allows`
`you to configure which parts of the POSey system will be affected by the`
`keylock actions.The keylock action may function at the Logon Menu, in the`
`Register outside of a sale, in the Register during a sale, at the POS Menu`
`(Register Report Menu), or at the Main Menu.If a field is set to 'N', the`
`keylock position will not function in that program section.`

MagStripe Reader Configuration

`This program allows you to configure a magnetic stripe (magstripe) reader.`
`The magstripe reader configuration in this section allows the POSey`
`system to read credit cards.The magstripe reader may also be referred to`
`as a magcard reader.`

`The information read from this reader is used by the Credit Card`
`Authorization system.Credit Card Authorization is accomplished by software`
`provided by Smoky Mountain Technologies, which must be configured`
`separately.`

Magstripe Reader Active

`This is a yes/no field which indicates if there is a magstripe reader`
`attached to the system, or if credit card processing will be done.__If`
`credit card authorization will be done, or if you want the system to ask for`
`the credit card number, enter a 'Y' in this field.`

Magstripe Reader Type

`This field denotes the type of magcard reader.__A complete list of`
`magcard readers supported by the POSey system is provided in the Appendix,`
`"Magcard Reader Types".`

`If no magstripe reader is used in the system, but you wish to have credit`
`card numbers entered manually, enter type 1.`

Credit Card Processing Type

`This tells the Register which Credit Card Processing software will be used.`
`If no credit card processing will be done, enter 1 for none.__Otherwise,`
`enter 2 for Smoky Mountain Technologies.`

Magstripe Sentinal Characters

`The next section is used for specifying the sentinal characters used by the`
`POSey system to determine how to read a credit card.You must specify a`
`leader character, end-of-read character, and the start and end characters`
`for each of two tracks on the magcard.If track 1 or track 2 is to be`
`ignored, enter the number 255 for the start and end characters for that`
`track.`

`A typical setup for a keyboard wedge (or Magtek wedge) type of magcard`
`reader is as follows;`

`Leader Character____37`
`End-of-Read Character_13`
`Track 1 Start Character_37`
`Track 1 End Character___63`
`Track 2 Start Character_59`
`Track 2 End Character_____63`

Serial Configuration

`If you are using a serial magcard reader, enter the serial configuration in`
`these fields.You must enter the COM port number, the baud rate, parity,`
`number of data bits, and number of stop bits.If you are using a wedge type`
`of magcard reader, this section may be skipped.`

Authorize Format

`Enter the authorization format, as follows;`

`__1_All formats (used in most cases)`
`__2_Track 2 or manual only`
`__3_Track 1 or manual only`
`__4_Manual only`

Print Option

`Enter a 1 or 2 in this field.1 Indicates that only one credit card`
`authorization signature section should be printed on the receipt printer.`
`This would be the option to select if you are using two part receipt paper.`

`Option 2 tells the Register to print two copies of the credit card receipt,`
`one after the other.Use this option if you will be using single part`
`receipt paper.`

Process Tips

`This yes/no option specifies whether tips will be added to the credit card`
`transaction when rung up in a guest check.If your business will be adding`
`tips to the credit card, as is common in restaurants, enter 'Y' for this`
`option.If no tips will be added to the credit card bill enter 'N'.`

`When this option is set to 'Y' a guest check tendered to a credit card will`
`immediately be authorized, but will not be finalized until the next time the`
`guest check is opened and the customer tip is added.__The tip, if any, will`
`then be added to the credit card charge before being recorded in the`
`settlement file.`

`is the level first displayed when starting the Cash Register.`

`You may also specify yes/no as to whether the Register should return to the`
`default menu level at the end of each transaction.`

`NOTE: The POSEY.CFG file may contain the line "REGISTER.LOGONMENU=n", where`
`'n' specifies a menu level the Register should go to when the logon prompt`
`is displayed.__If you have the system configured for compulsory logon (see`
`Register Configuration, Compulsory logon) then the logon menu level will`
`override the default menu level.`

POSey Ray Gun Configuration

`This program is used to configure the POSey optical sensor system.The sensors`
`are infrared beam detectors which send a signal to the computer when the`
`beam is broken (sensor switch off) or detected (sensor switch on).`

`Each sensor in the system must be configured with a separate record in this`
`program, and must be assigned a unique sensor number.`

`You must also specify whether the sensor is active or inactive.Only active`
`sensors will be monitored by the system.Setting a sensor to inactive`
`allows you to stop monitoring the sensor without removing the configuration`
`record from the system.`

`Sensors may be marked as normally open or normally closed.If the sensor is`
`shown as normally closed by entering a 'C' in the "Normal Position" field,`
`this means that the RayGun beam is normally detected by the sensor.The`
`events recorded by the system are then the times when the beam is broken.`
`If the sensor is marked as normally open, then the beam would normally be`
`broken, and the event would be triggered when the beam is detected.`

`Finally, for each sensor you must specify the function to perform when the`
`sensor is triggered by an event.Currently function 1 is the only valid`
`selection.Function 1 causes the POSey RayGun system to record elapsed time`
`and update time-of-day counters.This function is often used to monitor`
`traffic, such as cars going through a drive-thru.`

Elapsed Time Configuration

`Use this program to configure elapsed time groups that are used in the`
`reporting section of the POSey RayGun system.There are 24 elapsed time`
`accumulators that may be programmed.You only need to enter as many elapsed`
`time categories as you need.`

`For example, you might choose to set up elapsed time categories as follows;`

`__0_-_9___seconds`
`10-_59__seconds`
`60-_9999seconds`

`Each time the POSey RayGun is triggered, the elapsed time for the event is`
`measured.It is then added to the count of the appropriate category that`
`you have set up.`

Royalties Configuration

`This program allows up two seven different categories of royalties,`
`commissions, or other percentage calculations to be entered.The amounts`
`calculated are reported on the Register System Report.`

`Each category may be calculated by a spearate percentage, and may be based`
`on different system report totals.The dollar amounts used for the`
`calculation of the royalty amount can be selected as follows;`

`__RGT_Resettable grand total`
`TxA_Taxable sales`
`NTx_Nontaxable sales`
`Tax_Tax amount`

`For each category, enter the percentage amount to be used for the royalty or`
`commission, and then put a 'Y' in each total column which is applicable for`
`the category.For example, if you are calculating a 5 percent royalty on`
`taxable and nontaxable sales, enter 5.00 for the percentage, and put a 'Y'`
`under the "TxA" and "NTx" columns.`

Post Void Reason Entry

`This program allows you enter various reasons why a transaction is`
`post-voided.A post-void is defined as the voiding of an item or`
`transaction after the item has been sent to a kitchen or remote printer.If`
`post-void reasons are entered, the clerk will be prompted to select the`
`reason for doing the void.Post-void authority may be password protected so`
`that only certain clerks may perform this action.If not post-void reasons`
`are configured, the system will delete the voided item from the sale.`

`Each post-void reason is assigned a reason code and a description.Typical`
`post-void reasons might be; customer dissatisfied, customer walked out,`
`manager comp, or customer changed mind.`

`For each post-void reason you must select whether this void is to be a`
`deletion or promo.If the void action is a deletion, then the Register will`
`completely delete the item from the sale.This is the same as if the item`
`was never sold, and inventory will not be adjusted.`

`If you select to promo the item(s), the result is the same as if you had`
`applied a discount to the item.The inventory report will show that the`
`item was sold, and it will be removed from inventory.`

`When an item is defined as a promo, you may specify the promo percentage.`
`For post-voids the discount percentage would normally be 100 percent,`
`however you can select a different percentage if you desire.`

`Another consideration when you promo an item is whether to forgive the tax`
`or selective itemizer which has been charged against the item.Enter 'Y' or`
`'N' for each SI category to designate how the post-void affects that`
`selective itemizer.For example, if you have a post-void reason which is`
`used for manager complimentary meals, and you use SI#2 as a mandatory 15`
`percent gratuity, you may want to forgive the sales tax (SI#1) but still`
`charge the customer the gratuity.This would be done by putting 'N' in the`
`"Affect SI#2" field, and putting 'Y' in all other "Affect SI" fields.`

`For each post void reason, you can specify whether it may be used during an`
`item void or a transaction void operation.`

`And finally, for each post-void reason that you designate as a promo, you`
`may select whether this promo may override the discount flag in the`
`inventory record.Since promos are treated the same as discounts, you may`
`choose for certain items to be exempt from post-void promos by marking them`
`as not-discountable in inventory and setting the "Ignore Discount Flag" in`
`the post-void reason to 'N'.`

Gas Pump Configuration

`This selection allows you to configure the gas pumps that will be controlled`
`by the Register.Each hose has a pump number anb hose number to which it is`
`assigned.A separate record must be created for each hose on each pump.Up`
`to nine hoses can be defined for each pump.`

`Most pump controllers have two prices that may be configured; the cash price`
`and the credit price.Enter the prices that should be charged for this hose`
`and pump.Note that even though the gas sales are associated with an`
`inventory item number (PLU number), the sales price from this gas pump`
`configuration program will prevail ... not the price from the inventory`
`record.`

`The inventory item number for each grade of gas must be entered for each`
`hose and pump.The referenced inventory item will be used to keep track of`
`sales totals for each particular type of gas.As an example, you might`
`create the following inventory items and reference them as the "Associated`
`PLU #";`

`100_Regular Gas`
`200_Mid-Grade Gas`
`300_Premium Gas`

`If the pump is currently active on the system, be sure to mark the`
`"Currently Active" flag as 'Y'.This lets the Register know that the hose`
`and pump are usable.__If a gas pump goes out of service for any reason, you`
`can set the "Curently Active" flag to 'N' without deleting the associated`
`price and PLU information.`

`The List Pump Configuration option on the Configuration Menu allows you to`
`list all of the pumps and hoses configured in the system, along with the`
`prices and gas grades assigned to them.`

Modify Screens

`The Modify Screens program allows you to change the text or design of`
`most of the data entry screens of the POSey system.__This might be desired`
`if you want to change the description of a particular field, or if you need`
`to use the POSey system in a country with a different language.`

`Even though this program allows you to change the data entry screens, it`
`does not allow you to change the data field positions, lengths, or types.`

Modifying the POSEY.CFG File

`In addition to the configuration done with the programs on the Configuration`
`Menu described in this chapter, many more options are available by making or`
`editing entries in the POSEY.CFG file located in the \POSEY directory.__This`
`file may be edited using any text editor that does not insert special`
`control codes into the output text file ... like the DOS EDIT.EXE program.`

`A complete description of all the commands and options available in the`
`POSEY.CFG file is listed in the Appendix, "Configuration Using POSEY.CFG".`

`disable large print, you may need to use a command to switch to the normal`
`font, or the command to reset the printer to power-up status.`
