Overview

`The Keyboard program is where the POSey system will begin to take on the`
`personality of the installation.Each key on the keyboard can be programmed`
`to perform any of the functions defined in this program.It will allow you`
`to customize the layout of the keys to fit your installation, and will give`
`the system your personal touch.`

`In order to understand how keyboard programming works, let's first define a`
`few terms.A Key is a button that can be pressed on a keyboard or an area`
`on a touch screen.Each key must have a number that identifies it to the`
`system.This number is the Key Number.Key numbers can range from 1 to`
`999.`

`A Keymap defines how the keys are arranged on the keyboard.An appendix to`
`this manual has a layout of Keymaps for various types of keyboards.The`
`keymap for a touchscreen, lightpen, or mouse operated system is designed`
`completely by the user, and may be of any design.The touchscreen may`
`have as many as 1000 keymaps, numbered from 0 to 999.`

`The system also allows for keyboards to have up to one thousand keymaps.`
`These keymaps are accessed through a Keymap Level Shift Key.This means any`
`key on the keyboard can perform more than one function.For example, if key`
`number twelve on level zero is programmed as a Preset Key, key number twelve`
`on level one could be a No Sale Key.This allows keyboards to have the same`
`Keymap Level flexibility that touch screen has always enjoyed.`

`If you do not have a printed keymap, keep in mind that the normal sequence`
`of keys on most keyboards begin at the upper left as key #1, and proceed,`
`left to right, top to bottom, with the lower right hand key having the`
`highest number.`

Key Programming

General Guidelines

`The POSey system provides a variety of key types that may be programmed.`
`Some keys have no parameters that need to be set.On the other hand, some`
`Register keys need additional information assigned to them before they will`
`function properly.Keys that need additional information will be explained`
`later in this chapter.`

`To program a key, enter the keymap level and key number of the key (from the`
`Keymap).If the key is already programmed, the function code of the key`
`will be displayed.If not, the cursor will move to the next field.Next`
`enter the Function Code that you wish the key to perform when pressed.Hit`
`the F2 field help key to obtain a list of valid key functions.__The key`
`function description will automatically be filled in by the program when`
`you select to function number.`

Key Linking

`In some cases, it is necessary that two or more keys be pushed in sequence`
`in order to carry out a particular action.An example would be where the`
`sale of a preset item results in the sale of another item (or the second`
`item might be a free gift or purchase incentive).This can be done in the`
`POSey system by using key linking.`

`To link a key to another key, enter the link level and key number of the key`
`to which you are linking, in the fields at the left of the key programming`
`screen.`

`Key linking may be used to link more than two keys together.A chain of key`
`links may be built to any length.However, for operations which`
`require more than a few links, it would be better to use a key Macro.`
`Macros are much more flexible, and easier to edit than key links.See the`
`chapter, "Key Macros" for more information.`

`Normally, you will not want to link keys to other keys.If no key linking`
`is desired, leave the link level and key number fields blank.`

`IMPORTANT NOTE: Be sure you do not link a key to itself.Or, if you are`
`linking more than two keys together, be careful not to link a key to a key`
`used previously in the chain.Either of these cases will result in an`
`endless loop of links, which will cause the Register to repeat the same`
`action over and over again.__In some cases, this may result in the Register`
`appearing to be locked or inoperative (for example, if you link a keymap`
`level key to itself).`

Additional Programming Information

`When you have selected the proper key function, and programmed the key`
`linking (when necessary), hit F10 to continue with the key programming`
`process.Many key functions will require no further programming`
`information (on touchscreen systems you will still be required to`
`enter touchscreen key attributes and a key caption).`

`Other key functions will require additional programming information.`
`After you hit F10, the cursor will move to the right side of the screen, and`
`you will be prompted for specific information relative to the particular key`
`function you have chosen.The key function descriptions given in the rest`
`of this chapter provide details of all information required for each key`
`function.`

Programming Keys not on a Keymap

`It is not necessary for every key that you program to be included on a`
`keymap.In other words, you may program a key that is not associated with a`
`physical key on the keyboard or touchscreen.This is useful when`
`programming macros, and when programming keys for key linking.`

`As an example, you may have a keymap level that is used for selecting`
`drinks.The keys defined on this level will all be PRESET keys that sell`
`different types of drinks.Each of these keys is linked to a "Previous`
`Keymap Level" key which takes you back to the previous keymap level after`
`selecting a drink.The "Previous Keymap Level" key will never be used`
`except as a link from another key.Therefore, it is not necessary to define`
`this key on the keymap.__All you need to do is program it for the proper`
`function.`

`Whenever you program a key that is not on the keymap, the message, "Not on`
`Keymap" will appear at the bottom of the key programming screen.`

TouchScreen Guidelines

`If you are using a touchscreen, lightpen, or mouse with the Cash Register,`
`some additional information is needed during the key programming process.`
`You will need to specify the touchscreen key colors, border type, shading`
`type, and key caption.`

`NOTE: If you defined these attributes using the Keymap Editor program, or`
`if you have previously defined this key, you may simple hit the F10 key in`
`response to the request for this information.The existing key attributes`
`will be retained.`

`The touchscreen key is composed of a rectangular shaped key with a border`
`around it.The border may be a single line border, a double line border, or`
`a plain border.The area inside of the border is for the key caption.`

`You must specify the border foreground and background colors, as well as the`
`text foreground and background colors.The foreground color is the color`
`used for the text characters or the border design.You may choose any`
`foreground color in the range of 0 to 15.See the screen above for a list`
`of the color numbers.`

`The background color is the color for the text or border background.You`
`may choose any background color in the range of 0 to 7.The high-intensity`
`colors may not be used for backgrounds.`

`Note that if you choose a foreground and background color which are the`
`same, the text or background design will not be visible.`

`After selecting the colors, you may select the border type.The following`
`types are available;`

`0_No border (or plain border)`
`__1_Double-line border`
`__2_Single-line border`

`Next, select whether the key should be shaded.If you enter a "0" the key`
`will have no shading.If you enter a "1" the key will have a full drop`
`shadow.__And if you enter a "2", the key will have a half drop shadow.`

`|_Please enter the Caption description and press F10 to save.________|`
`+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+`

`Finally, on a touchscreen, lightpen, or mouse keyboard, you must enter the`
`caption for the key.As you enter the key caption, it will appear on a`
`sample key in the center of the screen.If the caption is composed of`
`several words, it will automatically wrap to the next line of the key.Each`
`line will be centered on the key.`

`If you would like to force a line break in the caption, use the vertical`
`line character "|" (also referred to in MS-DOS as the pipe character).This`
`character will cause the line to stop and the next line on the key to start.`
`The vertical line character can be used for centering text on a very tall`
`key.For example, if you have a key that is 9 lines high, and the caption`
`is "CASH", you could enter the caption as "||||CASH".This would cause the`
`caption "CASH" to appear on the fifth line of the key.`

`Here is another example of using the vertical line character.__Using the`
`caption, "C|A|S|H" would cause the caption "CASH" to appear in a vertical`
`column on the key, like this;`

Key Function Descriptions

Alphanumeric Keys

`Alphanumeric Register keys are those which enter an alphabetic, numeric, or`
`punctuation symbol for use by the Register.The Double Zero key, Minus key,`
`and Decimal key require no further key programming.Numeric and Alphabetic`
`keys require you to specify which number or symbol the key will represent.`

`+-------------------+--------------------------------------------------+`
`| Function Code 6_| NUMERIC KEY________________________|`
`|----------------------------------------------------------------------|`
`| Information Needed| Range| Default Value |`
`|---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------|`
`| Enter a Number| 0 to 9_| None____|`
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

Numeric Key

`A Numeric key is used to enter a number in the Cash Register.Numbers, of`
`course, are useful in entering item quantities, as well as specifying prices`
`and tender amounts.Number keys are also used extensively within Macros to`
`execute Register reports automatically from the Register.`

`To program a Numeric key, you only need to specify which number from 0 to 9`
`that the key will represent.`

`+-------------------+--------------------------------------------------+`
`| Function Code 42| DOUBLE ZERO KEY________________|`
`|----------------------------------------------------------------------|`
`| Information Needed| Range| Default Value |`
`|---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------|`
`| None|| 00|`
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

Double Zero Key (00)

`It is frequently convenient to include a Double Zero key "00" on the Cash`
`Register keyboard.__This makes it easier for the operator to enter even`
`dollar amounts in an environment where dollar amounts are entered without a`
`decimal point.`

`No additional programming is required when defining a Double Zero key.`

`+-------------------+--------------------------------------------------+`
`| Function Code 41| ALPHABETIC KEY___________________|`
`|----------------------------------------------------------------------|`
`| Information Needed| Range| Default Value |`
`|---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------|`
`| Enter letter or punctuation_| 0 to 9_| None|`
`|_______________________| A to Z, a to z_|_|`
`|_____________| /!@#$%^&*()-=+[]<> |_|`
|_____________| \|`~;:?'" and SPACE|_|
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

Alphabetic Key

`Alphabetic keys are used in the Register for a variety of purposes like`
`entering house account and customer track information, or for entering`
`search parameters for inquiry operations.__Alphabetic or Punctuation keys`
`may also be necessary if you plan to program a keyboard suitable for entry`
`of memos or special instructions.`

`To program an Alphabetic or Punctuation key, you need only specify the`
`letter or punctuation character the key is to represent.`

`+-------------------+--------------------------------------------------+`
`| Function Code 47| MINUS KEY______________________|`
`|----------------------------------------------------------------------|`
`| Information Needed| Range| Default Value |`
`|---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------|`
`| None|| -_|`
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

Minus Key

`If negative dollar amounts or quantities will need to be entered at the Cash`
`Register, you should program a Minus key.__Most applications probably do not`
`require a Minus key since minus quantities and prices can be accommodated by`
`using refunds and discounts.`

`No additional programming is required when defining a Minus key.`

`+-------------------+--------------------------------------------------+`
`| Function Code 8_| DECIMAL KEY____________________|`
`|----------------------------------------------------------------------|`
`| Information Needed| Range| Default Value |`
`|---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------|`
`| None|| ._|`
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

Decimal Key

`A Decimal key is used for entering non-integer item quantities, and also`
`is useful for those operators who insist on entering a decimal point with`
`dollar amounts.`

`No additional programming is required when defining a Decimal key.`

Media Tendering Keys

`Media keys are used to tell the Cash Register what type of media will be`
`used to tender the sale.In Cash Register terminology, "media" refers to`
`anything that is accepted as payment for a purchase.Examples of different`
`types of media are cash, check, charge cards, house accounts, etc.`

`All media keys will require additional programming information, as shown in`
`the screen above.Some media keys, such as House Account keys, may require`
`even more information.`

`Following is a description of the minimum information required for all media`
`keys;`

`_No Sale Function: This is a yes/no field designating whether this`
`media key can be used as a No Sale key.A No Sale key allows a`
`clerk with the proper password authority to open the cash drawer at`
`any time, even when a sale is not being tendered.`

`_Open Cash Drawer: This yes/no field tells the Register whether this`
`__media key will cause the cash drawer to open when it is used to`
`tender a sale.`

`_Tenderable Media: This yes/no field specifies whether the media key`
`may be used to tender a sale.Normally, a media key would be`
`tenderable media, but if this is a cash media key which is used`
`solely in the clerk logon process, it may designated as`
`non-tenderable.`

`_Allow Split Change: The POSey system allows you to split the change`
`from a sale into several different medias.This feature is`
`specifically designed to accommodate foreign currency requirements,`
`however it can also be used in cases where change must be provided`
`in several different medias.Even though all media keys include`
`this yes/no field, the only medias currently elligible for split`
`change are cash, check, bank card, and charge card.`

`When a cash, check, bank card or charge card media key is programmed`
`to allow split change, you must specify a conversion factor to use.`
`The conversion factor is the ratio between the base currency and the`
`currency for this media key.`

`The number of decimal places is used to interpret an implied decimal`
`in amounts entered at the Register, and is also used for number`
`rounding operations.The number of decimal places for the base`
`currency is determined by the POSEY.CFG option REGISTER.BASEDECIMAL=n,`
`or if no entry exists in POSEY.CFG, 2 decimals is used by default.`

`_Allow Over Tender: This is a yes/no field which tells the Register`
`__if this media may be overtendered.In other words, may an amount`
`greater than the amount of the sale be tendered, resulting in change`
`due to the customer.If overtendering is allowed, an amount should`
`be entered as the overtender limit.For example, if the largest`
`denomination cash currency you will accept are $100, you would want`
`to enter $100.00 as the overtender limit.Or, if you never cash`
`checks for more than $25 over the amount of purchase, then enter`
`$25.00 as the overtender limit for the check media key.`

`_Media Identity: The media identity may be any letter from A to Z.`
`This allows you to define up to 26 different keys for each media`
`type.Normally, the first key defined for a particular media would`
`have an "A" identifier, the second a "B", and so forth.However,`
`if several different media keys on various keymap levels will have`
`identical functions, they may be assigned the same media identifier.`

`All media keys with the same media identifier must have the same`
`programmed information. The program insures that this is the case,`
`so if you have two Cash keys programmed as media identifier "A", and`
`you change the characteristics of one of the keys, the other key`
`will also be affected.`

`It is important to note that each type of media key is allowed to`
`have different identifiers.Therefore you may have a Cash key with`
`identifier "A", and also a Charge Card key with media identifier`
`"A".`

`_Return Change From Media: This field specifies the media from which`
`change should be returned when using the current media key to tender`
`a sale.This field will only be used when the "Allow Overtender"`
`field is marked "Y".`

`The normal change media is the same media as the current media`
`key.For example, if you are programming a Cash key (function 21)`
`with media identifier "A", the usual return change media would be`
`"21A", which is the same media.However, this need not be the case.`
`For example, a check key (function 23) would normally be programmed`
`to return change in cash, by specifying the return change media as`
`"21A".`

`_Forgive S.I.: These four fields allow a sale tendered by this media`
`key to reverse the tax or other selective itemizer amount from the`
`sale.These fields are normally used when programming a Food Stamp`
`media key.For standard media tendering keys, these fields should`
`__all be set to "N".`

`*_Description: Once the above information is entered, and the F10 key`
`is hit, the inventory entry screen will be displayed.The cursor`
`will be positioned in the Description field so that you may type in`
`a description for this media key.`

`Even though you may enter up to a 25 character description for the`
`media key, most reports will only include the first 12 characters of`
`the media description.Hit F10 again after you have entered the`
`____desired description.`

Cash Key

`The Cash key is probably the most important key on every cash register.It`
`is not only used for the obvious purpose of tendering a cash sale, but can`
`also be programmed to be a No Sale key.The Cash key is also used as an`
`"ENTER" key when a clerk enters his clerk number to logon to the Register`
`(unless a special Clerk Logon key is programmed).`

`See the general guidelines at the beginning of this "Media Tendering Keys"`
`section for more information about programming the media key screen.`

`Some special notes about programming a Cash key;`

`___If a cash drawer is used on the system, the Cash key on the register`
`__or registers with the drawer should have the "Open Cash Drawer"`
`option set to YES.`

`_If necessary, split change may be allowed for a Cash key.This`
`feature is designed specifically for foreign currency exchange`
`situations, but may be used any time split change is required.`

`*_If the Cash key will only be used as a clerk logon button, set the`
`__"No Sale", "Open Cash Drawer", and "Tenderable Media" options all`
`to NO.This will prevent this key from being used to tender a sale.`

Check Key

`The Check key is used to tender a sale with a customer check.You may also`
`elect to use a Check key for traveler's checks, money orders, or other types`
`of media.`

`There are two features associated with the Check key;`

`_Bad Check Tracking: The POSey system provides a bad check tracking`
`system which allows you to record and track customers who present`
`you with bad checks.See the chapter, "Bad Check Tracking" for more`
`details.`

`_Check Validation: If you include the following entry in your`
`POSEY.CFG file;`

`REGISTER.CHECKVAL=TRUE`

`... then the POSey system will print a check validation message`
`on the back of the customer check.This requires the use of a`
`special slip or check printer, such as the Epson TM-U375 Model 63UA.`
`Commands for the clamping, feeding, and release of the check are`
`configured using the Receipt Printer Configuration program.The`
`following printer control strings are used with the Epson TM-375`
`to do check validation;`

`Init:_2764`
`CR/LF:10`
`Validate Open:2799488`
`________Validate Close:_All blanks`
`________Validate Eject:_12`
`Validate Stop:27113`

`The actual check validation text is contained in the file`
`CHKVALD.DET in the POSEY directory.You may modify the text in`
`this file to print any message you want on the back of the check.`

`Note that POSey check validation is not the same a Bad Check`
`Tracking, and it is not check authorization.It simply causes a`
`__validation or endorsement to be printed on the back of the check.`

Bank Card Key

`The Bank Card key may be used as a media tendering key for credit cards or`
`bank debit cards when credit card authorization or processing is not`
`desired.The credit card number and expiration date does not need to be`
`entered into the system when this key is used.It provides a generic bank`
`card media type which entails no special features, and is reported`

Credit Card Key

`The Credit Card key is used for tender of credit cards or bank debit cards.`
`Examples are MasterCard, VISA, American Express, Diners Club, Carte Blanche,`
`JCP, etc.A single key can be used for all credit card tendering, or you`
`can program a separate Credit Card key for each type of credit card if you`
`want the totals to appear itemized on your system report.`

`In addition to programming the Credit Card key, a considerable amount of`
`additional setup is required before the system will do credit card`
`authorizations.See the chapter, "Credit Card Processing" for detailed`
`information on setting up a credit card authorization system.`

`When pushed, the Credit Card key will ask for entry of the credit card`
`number and expiration date.Depending on the configuration of your system,`
`you may either swipe the credit card at this point, or enter the information`
`manually.The purchase amount will then be authorized before the sale is`
`tendered.If the credit card processor declines the card, then the sale`
`will have to be tendered with another media or voided.`

`If you do not wish to do credit card authorization, and you do not want to`
`enter the credit card information when tendering a sale, use a function 25`
`Bank Card key.`

`A Credit Card key may not be overtendered, therefore the program will not`
`allow the "Allow Overtender" flag to be set to any value other than 'N'.`

`Note: Most media tendering keys will be programmed to return change in some`
`cash media (Function 21 media).However, most banks require that any change`
`returned from a credit card sale or refund be done as a credit card credit`
`transaction.Therefore the "Return Change from Media" field for Credit`
`Card keys should be set to the media identity of the key you are`
`programming.In other words, if you are programming Credit Card key 26V to`
`be a VISA card key, you should return change from 26V.`

House Charge Key

`The House Account key is used to tender a sale against an open account in`
`Accounts Receivable.An account must have first been created using the Open`
`Account Entry/Edit program, or using the House Account Inquiry function of`
`the Register.`

`In conjuction with the Inquiry key, the House Account key may also be used`
`to examine open or extended payment account records, to change them, or to`
`add new records.See the chapter, "POSey Cash Register" for detailed`
`information about how to use the House Charge key.`

`In addition to the normal media tendering key programming information, the`
`House Charge key requires that you answer a few more yes/no questions, as`
`shown in the key diagram above;`

`___Display Account Balances: If this option is set to 'Y', the`
`__customer's current balance and available credit will be shown at the`
`bottom of the printed receipt.`

`_Adhere to Credit Limit: When set to yes, any credit limit defined in`
`__the open account record for this customer will be ignored.In other`
`words, a sale may be tendered even if it causes the balance of the`
`customer account to exceed the credit limit.If you want to keep`
`customers from overcharging their accounts, be sure to set this`
`field to 'N'.`

`_Itemized Statement: If you want to be able to print itemized account`
`statements, be sure this field is set to 'Y'.When this field is`
`set to no, the master account record is updated for each sale, but`
`detailed invoice data is not saved.`

`_Print Address on Aux Ticket: Set this field to yes if you want the`
`customer account address to print on the kitchen ticket (auxiliary`
`printer).The Auxiliary Printer Option (set in Register Configuration)`
`must be set to 1 or 5.`

`_Allow Partial Tendering: It is possible with the POSey system to`
`__partial tender most types of sales, including sales tendered to a`
`house account.If this field is set to 'Y', any number entered`
`before the House Charge key is hit will be taken as a dollar amount`
`to be entered, and the Register will then ask for the account`
`number.If you elect to disallow partial tendering of house`
`accounts, you will be able to enter the account number first to`
`specify the house account number.`

`_Ask for Sub-Account Number: The POSey accounts receivable system`
`allows you to use sub-account numbers for house accounts.This is`
`a mechanism which allows account statements to be broken into`
`categories by sub-accounts.`

`An example of how to use sub-accounts would be a trucking company`
`that wants to have each truck in their fleet itemized separately`
`on the account statement.Each truck could be given a different`
`____sub-account number.`

Tournament Credit Account Key

`The Tournament Credit key is used to tender a sale against a POSey`
`tournament credit account.A tournament credit account is one which is set`
`up with a credit balance that may be used by the account holder.It was`
`originally designed to be used as a gift certificate concept for winners of`
`tournaments at a golf club, however a variety of other uses are possible.`
`See the chapter, "Tournament Credit Accounts" for more detailed information`
`about setting up and using these special accounts.`

`Since the tournament credit account is a credit account which allows the`
`customer to charge against an open credit, the Tournament Credit key does`
`not allow the account to be overcharged.The entire sale may be tendered`
`against the tournament credit account, or you may partial tender with some`
`other media.`

`If the tournament credit account does not have enough credit to cover the`
`entire sale, only that credit which is available will be tendered.The`
`balance due will have to be tendered against some other media.`

Food Stamps Key

`The Food Stamps key is used to tender a sale with government food stamps.`
`The following guidelines should be followed when setting up a system to`
`accept food stamps;`

`___One of the POSey selective itemizers is used to keep track of which`
`__items in the sale may be tendered with food stamps.Government`
`guidelines stipulate which type of products may be paid for with`
`food stamps.See the chapter, "Configuration and Setup" for more`
`information about setting up selective itemizers.`

`The selective itemizer (S.I.) you choose should be #2, #3, or #4.`
`Selective itemizer #1 is reserved for sales tax.Enter an S.I.`
`description of "Food Stamps", and set the percentage to zero.`
`Leave the breakpoint table blank.When programming the Food Stamp`
`key, enter this S.I. number in the "S.I. # Food Stampable Item"`
`field.`

`_Each inventory record for food stampable items that you sell should`
`have the food stamp selective itemizer flag set to 'Y'.This tells`
`the Cash Register that the item may be tendered with food stamps,`
`and enables the Register to keep track of the amount of each sale`
`that may be paid with food stamps.`

`_After the sale is rung up in the Cash Register, hit the Food Stamp`
`key.A box will appear showing the amount of the sale that may be`
`tendered with food stamps, and asking for the amount to be tendered`
`with food stamps.`

`Any remaining balance must be tendered with some other media.The`
`Register will then display the amount of change that should be`
`returned in food stamps and the amount of change that should be`
`given in other media.The "other media" will depend on how you`
`program the "Return Change from Media" field for the Food Stamp key.`

`_During Food Stamp key programming you are asked to specify an S.I.`
`number to forgive.This would normally be S.I.#1, which is sales`
`tax.This causes the Register to remove the sales tax from any`
`__food stampable item.`

`*_And finally, when programming the Food Stamp key, enter 'Y' in the`
`script field if this key will be used to accept the standard paper`
`script form of food stamps.If you have occasion to accept the`
`newer food stamp debit cards, enter a 'N' in this field.`

`When accepting script food stamps, you are only allowed to give cash`
`change less than a dollar.Whole dollar change must be given in`
`food stamps.When accepting food stamp debit cards, the exact`
`amount of the sale may be tendered against the debit card.The`
`POSey Cash Register knows about this difference, and will display`
`the correct change for each media.`

SmartCard Key

`The SmartCard key allows you to use the CST SmartCard for tendering sales.`
`This is a magnetic stripe card on which is recorded customer information,`
`including a dollar amount of credit available to the customer.A special`
`CST SmartCard terminal is required to use this feature.`

`When a sale is tendered with the SmartCard, the amount is debited from the`
`amount available on the card, and then the new balance is written back to`
`the card.`

`Some additional setup is required to use the CST SmartCard terminal.In`
`Register Configuration, the CST port number must be set to 1 or 2 to`
`indicate the COM port to which the CST Smartcard terminal is connected.`
`Communication parameters are 9600 bps, no parity, 8 data bits, and 2 stop`
`bits.`

`Smartcard transaction details will be printed at the bottom of the customer`
`receipt.`

VendaCard Key

`The VendaCard key allows you to tender a sale with a VendaCard, or to add`
`additional credit to the VendaCard.A VendaCard is a special purpose`
`magnetic stripe card which records customer account information and balance.`
`A special VendaCard terminal is required to use this feature.`

`The VendaCard terminal is a serial device which must connect to a COM port`
`on the computer.The COM port number to which it is attached is specified`
`in the POSEY.CFG file with the command;`

`REGISTER.VENDAPORT=n`

`where 'n' is the COM port number.The communications parameters are`
`fixed at 9600 bps, no parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit.`

`The VendaCard holds the customer's credit balance, which may not exceed`
`$99.99.This balance may be used to tender a sale at the POSey Cash`
`Register.Additional amounts may also be received from the customer and`
`added to the credit balance on the card, as long as the total credit on the`
`card does not exceed the limit of $99.99.`

`The VendaCard key may also be used in conjunction with the Inquiry key`
`(function 33) to do a VendaCard inquiry.This will show you the available`
`balance on the customer's card.`

JPC Debit Card Key

`The JPC Debit Card key allows you to use magstripe cards with an amount`
`encoded on them to tender a sale.The POSey Cash Register can read the`
`balance available on the card, subtract the appropriate amount, and then`
`write the credit balance back to the card.`

`It is also possible to receive a payment from the customer for addition to`
`his card balance, or to create a new JPC Debit Card.`

`Unlike VendaCards and SmartCards, the JPC Debit Card requires no special`
`terminal for processing of the cards.All that is required is a magcard`
`reader/writer unit.`

`For more information about setting up and using JPC Debit Cards, see the`
`chapter, "JPC Debit Cards".`

Due Bill Key

`The Due Bill is used when store credit has been issued to a customer, and the`
`customer wishes to use this credit to pay for a purchase.When a Due Bill`
`key is used to tender a sale, the change is not returned as normal.`
`Instead, the change will cause a new due bill receipt to be printed on the`
`receipt printer.This new due bill will show the balance of credit the`
`customer still has with the store.`

Item Sale Keys

`Item Sale keys are the heart of the Cash Register system.They are used to`
`ring up the sale of an inventory item, or to show a sale allocated to a`
`sales department.All of the other keys on the Register are simply support`
`keys which dictate how the sale will be tendered or manipulated.`

Preset Key

`The Preset key is used to sell an inventory item with the depression of one`
`key on the Cash Register.It is the simplist, and most straight-forward way`
`of ringing a sale at the Register.`

`When you select to program a Preset key, the inventory entry screen will be`
`displayed, and you must enter the inventory item number of the item to sell.`
`If the item has previously been entered into inventory, you may enter the`
`item number to recall the inventory record, or you may scan through the`
`inventory file to select the correct item.`

`Once the correct item number has been entered or recalled, you MUST enter a`
`minimum of information about the item.You must specify the item`
`description, the cost, and the selling price.If the inventory item was`
`previously entered, this information will be recalled automatically when the`
`item number is entered.Otherwise, if you are creating the inventory item`
`as you create the Preset key, this information must be provided.`

`While programming the Preset key for an inventory item, it is also possible`
`to enter or edit any of the other fields of the inventory item.You may`
`set the S.I. flags, department links, and other pertinent information during`
`the key programming process.Or you may enter only the required`
`information, and then use the Inventory Entry and Edit program to complete`
`the inventory record information.`

PLU Key

`The Price Lookup (PLU) key is similar in function to the Preset key in that`
`it is used to ring the sale of an inventory item into the sale.However, in`
`order to use the PLU key, the item number must be entered first.The item`
`number entry may be done manually by typing the number at a POS keyboard or`
`touchscreen, or it may be done automatically through the use of a barcode`
`reader.`

`Unlike the Preset key, the inventory item sold by the PLU key does not need`
`to previously exist in inventory, since the item number or barcode number`
`will be entered at the time of the sale, instead of during the key`
`programming process.`

`When selling an item with the PLU key, it is possible that the item will not`
`exist in the current inventory file.If this happens, it is still possible`
`to continue with the sale through a mechanism referred to as a "dynamic PLU`
`entry".Simply hit the PLU key again in response to the "Item not Found"`
`message, and the system will prompt you to enter the item price.Once the`
`price has been entered, the item will be rung into the sale, and the new`
`item will be added to the inventory file.At a later time, the inventory`
`record may be edited to add other pertinent information about the item.`
`This dynamic PLU concept is important in barcode systems where items may be`
`placed onto the store shelf without properly entering them into inventory`
`first.`

`No additional key programming is required when defining a PLU key.`

Open Department Key

`An Open Department key is used to record the sale of non-inventoried`
`merchandise.The dollar amount of the item or items are entered, and then`
`the Open Department key is hit to ring the sale into the Register.One of`
`the simplest ways to set up a Cash Register system is to have Open`
`Department keys for each category of merchandise you wish to sell.`

`When programming an Open Department key, several options are available;`

`___High Amount Lockout: This is the maximum amount which may be`
`charged against this Open Department key.If there is no maximum`
`amount, leave this field blank.`

`_Low Amount Lockout: This is the minimum amount which may be charged`
`against this Open Department key.If there is no minimum amount,`
`leave this field blank.`

`_Subtracting Department: If the amount charged to this Open`
`____Department should be subtracted from sales, enter a 'Y' in this`
`field.For normal Open Department sales, enter 'N'.`

`_Hash Department: If the amount charged to this Open Department`
`should NOT be added to sales, enter a 'Y' in this field.A hash`
`department is used to record receipts of media which are not part`
`__of sales, or which may be due or liable to other parties.`

`The standard inventory entry screen is used to enter the Open Department`
`number, description, and various other attributes of the Open Department.`
`Sales to Open Departments may be linked to sub-departments, and may also be`
`subject to sales tax or any of the other S.I. categories.`

Sub-Department Key

`A Sub-Department key is used to record the sale of non-inventoried`
`merchandise.It is similar in concept to an Open Department key, except`
`when the Sub-Department key is pressed, you will be asked to enter the`
`Sub-Department number.You must then enter the number of the Sub-Department`
`to which you wish to charge the sale.`

`In the POSey system, sub-departments are used to show sales totals and`
`sub-totals on the inventory sales report.See the chapter, "Sub-Departments"`
`for more information about POSey Sub-Departments.Any preset, PLU, or open`
`department item may be linked to a sub-department to accumulate sales`
`totals.The Sub-Department key may be used to directly charge a sale`
`against a sub-department, without first identifying an inventory item or`
`open department.`

`It is important not to confuse the Sub-Department key (function 3) with the`
`programming of a sales sub-department (function 31).While both are set up`
`using the Key Programming program, the Sub-Department key is attached to a`
`key on the Cash Register and may be used to ring sales directly into a`
`sub-department.`

`A sales sub-department (function 31) is not associated with a Cash Register`
`key, and is used merely as a sales subtotaling tool for the inventory sales`
`report.__A sub-department is also used for reporting sales figures to the`
`CARE's accounting system (See the chapter, "CARE's Accounting").`

`Refer to the chapter, "Sub-Departments" for a detailed description of how to`
`create a Sub-Department, and how to use Sub-Departments to report sales`
`totals.`

`| Function (Item or Memo)_| I/M| M_|`
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

Preset Condiment/Memo Key

`The Preset Condiment/Memo key is used to add a condiment or memo into the`
`sale, and attach it to the previous line in the transaction.A condiment is`
`considered to be an item from inventory.A memo is simply a line of text`
`that will be added to the Register display.`

`The feature that makes this key distinct from the Preset key and the Memo`
`key is its ability to "attach" the item or memo to the previous item in the`
`sale.If the "host" item is voided from the sale, the attached item or memo`
`will also be deleted.And the attached item or memo will follow the "host"`
`item to the remote printer if redirectional kitchen printers are used.`

`Note: It is possible with Preset Condiments to force the condiment to print`
`at a different remote printer than the "host" item by entering the desired`
`remote printer number in the "Printer" field of the condiment's inventory`
`record.Normally, the "Printer" number of the condiment would be left blank`
`to allow the condiment to print with the item to which it is attached.`

`There are two distinct ways of choosing condiments in the POSey Cash`
`Register.You can use the traditional "scroll-box" type condiments which`
`are attached to an inventory item by using the Alt-C key during inventory`
`entry.Or you can use Preset Condiment keys.`

`In most cases the choice of which type of condiment selection to use is a`
`matter of personal preference.However, there are some important points to`
`take into consideration;`

`___Scroll-box condiments are limited to 30 condiments per selection`
`__window, and only 10 condiments may be selected from the scroll-box.`
`(These values may be modified through the use of POSEY.CFG entries.)`
`Preset Condiment selections are limited only by the amount of space`
`on the register screen.`

`_Automatic condiment selection, and chained or forced choices of`
`condiments are simpler to do with scroll-box condiments.For`
`instance, if you want to lead the server through an automatic`
`selection of condiments when an entree is entered, scroll-box`
`condiments has excellent provisions for doing so.The same features`
`__can be done with Preset Condiment keys, but is a little more complex.`

`_There are memory use constraints when using large numbers of`
`scroll-box type condiments.Depending on what other features of the`
`POSey cash register you are using, you may receive a "Receipt is Full"`
`message if you try to set up large lists of condiments from which to`
`select.These memory limitations are not a factor with Preset`
`__Condiments.`

`_Preset Condiment/Memos allows you to be creative when designing`
`selection screens.Most users would prefer to select a condiment`
`by hitting a Register key than by selecting it from a scroll-box.`

`When used for memos, the Preset Condiment/Memo key offers an excellent way`
`to send special instructions to the kitchen or bar.Examples are, "Medium`
`Rare", "On the rocks", or "Extra Mayo".Many restaurants prefer to have one`
`or more touch-screen levels devoted to an array of condiment or memo`
`selections for the servers.`

`In addition to its normal use for entering preset memos, the Preset`
`Condiment/Memo key has another special purpose.If the first character of`
`the memo text is a tilde "~", it prevents the previous item in the`
`transaction from being sent to the kitchen printer.If the first two`
`characters are tildes, the entire transaction is prevented from printing in`
`the kitchen.`

`For example, the preset memo, "~DO NOT MAKE" could be programmed to keep the`
`bar from preparing a drink that the server decided to fix himself.Or, the`
`preset memo, "~~DUPLICATE ORDER" could be used in cases where an order had`
`to be re-entered for some reason, and you didn't want the kitchen to remake`
`it.The double tildes would keep the entire order from printing in the`
`kitchen.`

`Note that when using guest checks, the tilde feature only works with items`
`that have been rung since the check was last serviced.Obviously, items`
`rung up in the check prior to that time had already been printed on the`
`remote printer when the check was serviced the last time.`

Transaction Modifier Keys

`The following group of Register key types are all used to affect the way`
`items are rung into the sale, or to alter the options of an item.__They`
`allow you to change the normal prices of items, change the tax status, sell`
`variations of items, and ring up items priced by group.`

@/For Key

`The At-For key (sometimes shown as @/For key) is used to ring up multiple`
`items, and to do split pricing.`

`No additional key programming is required when defining an At-For key.`

`Normally, single items are sold at the Cash Register simply by hitting a`
`Preset key or by entering or scanning a PLU number.Or you can enter the`
`item price and hit an Open Department key.`

`Sometimes it is convenient to be able to ring up a quantity of items at one`
`time.If the quantity is less than 10, you can you can do this by entering`
`the single digit quantity and then hitting the Preset key or scanning the`
`item.If the quantity is 10 or more, or you are selling into an Open`
`Department, you must enter the quantity, then hit the At-For key, and then`
`hit the Preset key, scan the item, or enter the price and hit the Open`
`Department key.`

`Here are examples of how to use the @/For key to sell multiple items;`

`Selling multiple Preset items;`
`Enter quantity`
`@/For key`
`Preset key`

`Selling multiple PLU items;`
`Enter quantity`
`@/For key`
`Item (PLU) number`
`PLU key`

`Selling multiple scanned barcode items;`
`Enter quantity`
`@/For key`
`Scan the item`

`Selling multiple Open Department items;`
`Enter quantity`
`@/For key`
`Enter dollar amount`
`Open Department key`

`Selling multiple Sub-Department items;`
`Enter quantity`
`@/For key`
`Enter dollar amount`
`Sub-Department key`
`Enter Sub-Department number`

`Another function that may be performed with the At-For key is split pricing`
`of items.An example of split pricing would be selling 3 items at 4/$1.00.`
`This is accomplished by entering the quantity, hitting the At-For key,`
`entering the split quantity, hitting the At-For key, and then hitting the`
`Preset key or entering the price and hitting the Open or Sub Department key.`

`Here are more examples;`

`Split pricing of Preset items;`

Price Override Key

`The Price Override key may be used to sell an item at a price which is`
`different than the selling price from the inventory record.It allows a`
`clerk with discount password authority to set the item price.`

`To use the Price Override key, enter the price at which you wish to sell the`
`item and then hit the Price Override key.Now ring up the item in the`
`normal fashion.This system will ignore the normal selling price and use`
`the price entered by the clerk.`

`Three options are available when programming a Price Override key;`

`_Before/After Item Sale: Set this flag to 'B' if you intend to`
`specify the changed item price immediately before you sell the item.`
`This would be the normal use of the key, as described above.If you`
`want to ring up the item and then use the Price Override key to`
`change the price, enter 'A' in this field.When used in this mode,`
`the Price Override key will always affect the price of the last item`
`added to the sale.Note that the "after" mode must be used if you will`
`be changing inventory prices with the Price Override key.`

`_Change Price In File: If you choose the default 'N' option, the`
`price override is for this sale only.The item will ring up in the`
`future at the regular price.However, by setting this option to 'Y'`
`the Price Override key will change the selling price of the item in`
`inventory so that this price will be the new selling price of the`
`item.In order to use this option, the "Before/After" flag must be`
`set to do price overrides after the item is rung into the sale.`

`*_Prompt Before Change: If the "Change Price in File" option is set to`
`'Y', this field can be used to prompt the clerk for confirmation`
`before making the price change.`

Price Level Shift

`The Price Level Shift key allows you to change the selling price of the item`
`at the time of sale.The selling price may be specified as any of 5 price`
`levels entered in the inventory record for the item.These price levels are`
`described as follows;`

`__0_Price level 0_Normal sale price`
`1_Price level 1_Sale level price`
`2_Price level 2`
`__3_Price level 3`
`__4_Price level 4`
`__5_Price level 5_Margin level price`

`Note that price level 5 (margin level price) will force the item to sell at`
`the computed margin price, even if the margin flag in the inventory record`
`is set to 'N'.See the "Inventory" chapter for more information about`
`setting price levels for an inventory item.`

`To sell an item at a different price level, hit the Price Level Shift key,`
`and then ring the item into the sale as you normally would.The method`
`of selling additional items at the same price level will differ depending on`
`the the options chosen for the Price Level Shift key;`

`_Pop-Up: The Price Level Shift key must be hit before each item that`
`______you want to sell at the alternate price level.`

`_Stay-Down: The Price Level Shift status will stay in effect for all`
`items rung up until the Price Level Shift key is hit again.In`
`other words, the Price Level Shift key acts as a toggle turning on`
`and off the alternate price level.`

`*_Transaction: Once the Price Level Shift key has been hit, the new`
`________price level is established for the entire transaction.`

`The "Key Description" entered when programming the Price Level Shift key is`
`for informational purposes only, to help you identify the purpose for the`
`Price Level Shift key.`

Tax Shift Key

`The Tax Shift key is a key that reverses the state of Selective Itemizer #1`
`for the next item rung up.S.I. #1 is used by the POSey system for sales`
`tax computation, and is set up using the Register Configuration program.`
`See the section, "Configuration and Setup, Selective Itemizers" for`
`information about Selective Itemizers.`

`If an item is sales taxable, hitting the Tax Shift key before ringing up the`
`item will prevent tax from being charged for the item.Or, if the item is`
`tax exempt, hitting the Tax Shift key first will cause the item to be taxed.`
`The sales taxable status of an item is determined by a "Y" or "N" in the`
`S.I.#1 field of the inventory record or open department record.`

`The Tax Shift key only affects the next item rung into the sale.__And`
`it only affects the sales tax, NOT the other Selective Itemizers S.I.#2,`
`S.I.#3, or S.I.#4.`

`No additional key programming is required when defining a Tax Shift key.`

Tax Exempt Key

`The Tax Exempt key is a multi-purpose key that has many more functions than`
`its name implies.It can perform the same function as the simpler Tax Shift`
`key described above, plus it can force an item to be taxable or non-taxable.`
`It can be used to change the status of an Selective Itemizer ... not just`
`S.I.#1 for sales tax.`

`The following information is required when programming a Tax Exempt Key;`

`_Pop-up, Stay-down, Trans: If you program the key to be a Pop-up key`
`__it will only affect the next item rung into the sale.If you`
`program it to be a Stay-down key, it will stay down permanently`
`until the Register program is restarted.And if you program it to`
`be a Trans key its affect will last until a new transaction is`
`begun.`

`_S.I.#: Select the Selective Itemizer this Tax Exempt key should`
`__modify.If you select S.I.#0, the key will affect ALL Selective`
`Itemizers.The only exception, when programming the key for S.I.#0`
`to affect all Selective Itemizers, is that when programming the key`
`to Forgive, you MUST select a specific S.I.# to forgive.`

`*_Yes, No, Shift, Forgive: Programming the key Yes or No will cause it`
`to force the tax status to taxable or non-taxable, respectively.`
`Choosing Shift will cause the key to reverse the status of the`
`Selective Itemizer.Selecting to Forgive will not affect the`
`taxable status of the items rung into the sale, but will prevent the`
`Register from adding the tax amount to the sale total.Note that if`
`you program the Tax Exempt key to Forgive tax, you MUST choose a`
`specific Selective Itemizer to Forgive ... you cannot choose the`
`S.I.#0 option which affects all Selective Itemizers.`

`It is interesting to note that the Tax Exempt key may be used for other`
`purposes in the POSey system than just reversing the tax status of items in`
`the sale.For example, you can program Selective Itemizer #2 to be a 15`
`percent gratuity amount which is automatically added to the sale.Then the`
`Tax Exempt key can be programmed to turn the gratuity off or on in`
`particular situations.`

Shift Level Key

`The Shift Level key is used to ring up particular types of items out of a`
`set which is set up in the inventory program.An examples would be`
`selecting a single, six-pack, or 12-pack of soda, where each package has the`
`same barcode number.The Shift Level key works by adding a numbered suffix`
`to the base inventory item number to select a different member of the`
`shift-level set.`

`To set up the example described above, create the following inventory items`
`using the Inventory Entry & Edit Program (see the section, "Inventory Item`
`Shift Levels" for more details);`

`Item#_Description`

`490430__Single Soda`
`490430.06_6 Pack Soda`
`__490430.12_12 Pack Soda`

`Program two Shift Level keys ... the level for one will be 6, and the level`
`for the other will be 12.Caption the level 6 Shift Level key, "6 Pack",`
`and caption the other key, "12 Pack".`

`To ring up a single soda at the Register, simply scan the barcode, enter the`
`PLU number, or hit the Preset key for the single soda.To ring up the`
`six-pack, hit the "6 Pack" Shift Level key and then sell the item as above.`
`To sell the twelve-pack, hit the "12 Pack" key and sell the item.`

`The Shift Level key causes the register to add the shift level to the`
`inventory item number (PLU number), with a period separating the item number`
`and the shift level.This causes the proper member of the predefined set to`
`be retrieved from inventory and sold.`

`The information required for programming the Shift Level key is as follows;`

`_Shift Level: Enter the shift level from 0 to 99.This is the number`
`that will be appended to the inventory item to select the proper`
`member of the shift-level set.In the example above, we used shift`
`levels of 6 and 12 respectively for a 6-pack and 12-pack of soda.`
`However, we could have just as easily used shift levels 1 and 2 and`
`created inventory items with numbers 490430.01 and 490430.02.`
`Note: if shift level zero is specified, the base inventory item`
`__will be rung up with this Shift Level key.`

`_Pop-up, Stay-down: If you select pop-up, the action is only`
`effective for the next item sold.If you select stay-down, the`
`shift level will be in effect until the Register is restarted.`

`*_Description: This is for your reference only, and is not used by`
`__the POSey system.`

`In some cases, it is necessary to have a set of Shift Level inventory items`
`which are selected by more than one Shift Level parameter.For example, the`
`tickets for one bus tour may be selected by age group (child, adult,`
`senior), and also by category (regular, handicap).This can be done by`
`using one digit of the Shift Level for the age group, and the other digit`
`for the category.To program a Shift Level key to affect only one of the`
`Shift Level digits, use a question mark '?' for the other digit.This will`
`cause the Register to ignore that digit when setting the Shift Level.`

`For example, you could use the ten's digit at the age group, and the one's`
`digit as the category.The Shift Level keys for the three age groups would`
`be programmed as Shift Levels 0?, 1?, and 2?.The Shift Level keys for the`
`two categories would be programmed as ?0, and ?1.The set of inventory`
`items for all the possibilities would be as follows;`

`100.00Child, Regular`
`100.01Child, Handicap`
`100.10Adult, Regular`
`100.11Adult, Handicap`
`100.20Senior, Regular`
`100.21Senior, Handicap`

`The selection of each item in the Register would be accomplished by hitting`
`one of the "Age" Shift Level keys, and then one of the "Category" Shift Level`
`keys.`

`| Function Code 55| SCALE/TARE KEY_________________|`

`|---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------|`
`| Pop-up, Stay-down, Trans| P/S/T|_|`
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

Scale/Tare Key

`The Scale/Tare key has a dual function.It can be used to specify a tare`
`weight when ringing up scaled items, or it can be used to toggle the state`
`of the "Scaled" flag in the inventory item to determine if an item being`
`rung up at the Register should be priced by scale weight.`

`If a numerical entry is made at the Register prior to hitting the Scale/Tare`
`key, the function of the key is to set the tare weight for the scale, in`
`pounds.For example, if the number ".1" is entered at the Register, and`
`then the Scale/Tare key is pressed, the tare weight for all future scaled`
`sales is set to 1/10 of a pound.This tare weight remains in effect until`
`another tare weight is entered.`

`There are two typical reasons why the tare weight may need to be set.One`
`is to adjust the scale reading to zero.The other reason is to allow the`
`Register to subtract a portion of the weight which should not be charged.`

`A good example is that of a cafeteria which sells salad priced by the pound.`
`They may have several different sizes of bowls that may be used by their`
`customers, and the weight of the bowl should not be included in the price of`
`the salad.A small bowl may weigh .1 pounds and a large bowl may weigh`
`.2 pounds.The easiest way to ring up the small and large bowls of salad`
`would be to program two macro keys.The Macro key for the small salad would`
`push the decimal key, the "1" key, the Scale/Tare key, and then the Preset`
`key for the salad.The Macro key for the large salad would push the decimal`
`key, the "2" key, the Scale/Tare key, and then the Preset key for the salad.`

`The Macro keys described above cause the tare weight to be entered, and then`
`ring up the item.The correct weight of each size bowl will be subtracted`
`from the total scale weight before calculating the price of the salad.`

`The other use of the Scale/Tare key is to reverse the "scaled" status of an`
`item rung up at the Register.In other words, if an item is normally not`
`scaled, pushing the Scale/Tare key (with no previous numerical entry) will`
`cause the item to be scale-priced.If the item is normally scaled, using`
`the Scale/Tare key will allow it to be priced normally, instead of`
`scale-priced.`

`Important Note: Scaled items are always priced by the pound.__The item sales`
`price for scaled items is assumed to be the price per pound.`

Discount/Coupon Keys

`The POSey Cash Register gives you a variety of ways to issue discounts`
`during a sale.There are traditional Discount keys which can be used to`
`apply item or whole transaction discounts.And there are Coupon keys which`
`would be used to enter a sale credit based on a vendor or store coupon.`

`A method is also provided to offer customers "Shopper Bonus" as an incentive`
`for purchases.__A Shopper Bonus Redemption key is used to apply amounts from`
`a customers bonus account to the current sale.`

`| Ignore Discount Flag| Y/N____| Y_|`
`| Key Identifier______| A to Z_| A_______|`
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

Discount Item Key

`The Discount Item key is used to apply a discount to the last item in the`
`sale.If the last item has condiments attached to it, the item and its`
`condiments will be discounted.When the discount is rung into the sale, a`
`line will be added showing the percentage amount of the discount and the`
`dollar amount that is being credited.`

`Note that if you use the Prioritize Receipt feature, the item to which the`
`discount is applied may not be the last one rung into the sale.See the`
`section, "Configuration & Setup, Receipt Prioritize" for more details about`
`using this feature.`

`If you enter a percentage amount at the Register before pressing the`
`Discount Item key, that amount will be used as the discount percentage,`
`providing it is within the allowable discount range specified in the key`
`programming.If the Discount Item key is pressed without first entering a`
`percentage amount, the default percentage will be used.`

`If the value "-0" is entered at the Register before pressing the Discount Item`
`key, the negative of the default percentage will be used.`

`If a discount is applied in error, the Item Void key may be used to remove`
`the discount line from the sale.`

`The following information must be provided when programming an Discount Item`
`key;`

`___Minimum discount: Enter the minimum percentage discount that may be`
`______applied with this key.`

`_Maximum discount: Enter the maximum percentage discount that may be`
`______applied with this key.`

`_Default discount: Enter the default percentage discount that will be`
`__used when the clerk does not enter a specific discount amount.This`
`default discount must fall within the minimum and maximum discounts.`
`If you want to force the key to charge only the default discount`
`amount, set the minimum, maximum, and default discount amounts to`
`the same percentage.`

`If a default discount of -99 is used, this causes the Register to`
`retrieve the actual discount percentage from the customer tracking`
`record.This is a special case which may be used where different`
`customers are to receive different discounts.In order to use this`
`feature, the customer must be tracked (using the Customer Track`
`key).The actual amount of the discount should be entered in the`
`DISCOUNT field of the customer track record, using the Customer`
`Track Account entry program.`

`_Ignore Discount Flag: Set this field to "Y" if you want this Item`
`Discount key to apply a discount even when the inventory discount`
`flag is set to "N".See the section, "Inventory Item Entry" for`
`more details about the Discount Flag.If you want the key to`
`__honor the inventory discount flag, set this field to "N".`

`*_Key Identifier: Enter a letter from A to Z to identify this`
`__particular discount key.The key identifier allows you to program`
`up to 26 different discount keys which will be accounted separately`
`on the Register System report.The key identifiers for the Item`
`Discount key ARE NOT distinct from the key identifiers for`
`the Transaction Key.In other words, an Item Discount A key will`
`update the same discount total as the Transaction Discount A key.`

`The allowable range of percentage values for the Item Discount key give it a`
`great deal of versatility.Normally, a discount of from 1 to 100 percent`
`might be applied to a sale to grant a customer a discount or to completely`
`comp the sale.`

`However it is also possible to grant discounts of greater than 100 percent.`
`If discount of 300 percent is applied to a $10.00 item, the result will be a`
`$30.00 discount amount.The application for this type of discounting is`
`left to your imagination.`

`You may also specify a negative discount percentage.This will cause a`
`positive amount to be added to the sale.If you think of some reason to use`
`a negative discount key, remember that the minimum discount amount will be`
`the one with the LARGEST negative number.`

Discount Transaction Key

`The Discount Transaction key is used to apply a discount to the entire`
`transaction.When the discount is rung into the sale, a line will be added`
`showing the percentage amount of the discount and the dollar amount that is`
`being credited.`

`If you enter a percentage amount at the Register before pressing the`
`Discount Transaction key, that amount will be used as the discount`
`percentage, providing it is within the allowable discount range specified in`
`the key programming.If the Discount Transaction key is pressed without`
`first entering a percentage amount, the default percentage will be used.`

`If the value "-0" is entered at the Register before pressing the Discount Item`
`key, the negative of the default percentage will be used.`

`If a discount is applied in error, the Item Void key may be used to remove`
`the discount line from the sale.`

`The following information must be provided when programming a Discount`
`Transaction key;`

`___Minimum discount: Enter the minimum percentage discount that may be`
`______applied with this key.`

`_Maximum discount: Enter the maximum percentage discount that may be`
`______applied with this key.`

`_Default discount: Enter the default percentage discount that will be`
`__used when the clerk does not enter a specific discount amount.This`
`default discount must fall within the minimum and maximum discounts.`
`If you want to force the key to charge only the default discount`
`amount, set the minimum, maximum, and default discount amounts to`
`the same percentage.`

`If a default discount of -99 is used, this causes the Register to`
`retrieve the actual discount percentage from the customer tracking`
`record.This is a special case which may be used where different`
`customers are to receive different discounts.In order to use this`
`feature, the customer must be tracked (using the Customer Track`
`key).The actual amount of the discount should be entered in the`
`DISCOUNT field of the customer track record, using the Customer`
`Track Account entry program.`

`_Ignore Discount Flag: Set this field to "Y" if you want this Item`
`Discount key to apply a discount even when the inventory discount`
`flag is set to "N".See the section, "Inventory Item Entry" for`
`more details about the Discount Flag.If you want the key to`
`__honor the inventory discount flag, set this field to "N".`

`_Key Identifier: Enter a letter from A to Z to identify this`
`particular discount key.The key identifier allows you to program`
`up to 26 different discount keys which will be accounted separately`
`on the Register System report.The key identifiers for the Discount`
`Transaction key ARE NOT distinct from the key identifiers for the`
`Discount Item Key.In other words, a Transaction Discount A key will`
`update the same discount total as the Item Discount A key.`

`_Maximum Transaction Discounts: If you want to limit the number of`
`Transaction discounts that may be applied to a single transaction,`
`enter the maximum number in this field.In the POSey system, it is`
`possible to grant multiple discounts in the same transaction, i.e.`
`a 10 percent senior discount and a 10 percent handicap discount may`
`both be applied to a sale.The Maximum Transaction Discount field`
`____allows you to limit this ability when required.`

`Additional discussion about the applications for discount keys may be found`
`in the previous section, "Discount Item Key".`

Vendor Coupon Key

`The Vendor Coupon key provides a mechanism for adding a credit to the sale.`
`This credit would presumably be based on a vendor coupon presented by the`
`customer.To use the key, the clerk would enter the dollar amount of the`
`coupon first, and then hit the Vendor Coupon key.A credit line will be`
`added to the transaction showing the description from the coupon key, and`
`the amount of the coupon credit.`

`If the Vendor Coupon key is used by mistake, the coupon credit may be`
`removed from the sale by using the Void Item key.`

`Optionally, you may specify a default amount for the coupon.When a non-zero`
`default amount is entered, the clerk may hit the Vendor Coupon key without`
`first entering an amount, and the amount of the coupon credit will be taken`
`from the key programming.If the clerk does enter an amount, it will override`
`the default amount.`

`Additional programming information is required when setting up a Vendor`
`Coupon key;`

`___Default Amount: If a default amount is entered, this amount will be`
`used as the coupon credit when the Vendor Coupon key is hit without`
`first entering an amount at the Register.If an amount is entered`
`first, it will override the default amount.`

`_Multiply by Quantity?: For normal coupon credit use, enter "N" in`
`this field.If you set this field to "Y", the coupon amount (entered`
`by the clerk, or default) will be multiplied by the item quantity of`
`the last item rung into the sale.`

`The "Multiply by Quantity?" feature is useful in cases where you`
`want to grant a dollar amount discount per item.A good example`
`__would be offering a 4 cent discount on each gallon of gas purchased.`

`_Deduct from S.I.#: These four fields allow you to select which of`
`the Selective Itemizers, if any, the coupon credit should affect.`
`Normally, if a person is granted a coupon credit, they would not be`
`required to pay taxes on the amount that is discounted.However, in`
`some cases, laws may dictate that the customer has to pay sales tax`
`on the full undiscounted amount of the item when a coupon is used.`
`For this example, the "Deduct from S.I.#1" field should be set to`
`"N".`

`_Coupon Key Identifier: Select a coupon key identifier from A to Z.`
`This identifier allows you to have up to 26 different Vendor Coupon`
`keys.You may also have an additional 26 different Store Coupon`
`keys.`

`*_Description: Enter a description for this Vendor Coupon key.This`
`__name will be used on the Register receipt display, on the customer`
`receipt, and on the Register System report.`

`Note: The Vendor Coupon key and Store Coupon key are functionally`
`equivalent.The only difference is the implied difference in the type of`
`coupons that will be accepted with each key.The combination of these two`
`keys allows you to have up to 52 distinct coupon keys.`

Shopper Bonus Redemption Key

`This key is used to redeem shopper bonus credit which customers have`
`accumulated.A complete discussion of the Shopper Bonus system is`
`presented in the section, "Customer Tracking: Shopper Bonus".For a`
`description of how the key is used in the Register see, "POSey Cash`
`Register: Special Operations: Shopper Bonus".`

`The Shopper Bonus Redemption key works exactly like a coupon key.It`
`causes a credit against the sale which is shown on the customer receipt`
`as a negative amount.`

`When programming the key, you may select if the amount credited`
`subtracts from the selective itemizers.In other words, if the shopper`
`bonus credit should reduce the amount of tax (or other selective`
`itemizer), show a 'Y' in the proper field.If the tax must be paid on`
`the full price of the sale, mark the field 'N'.State laws may vary in`
`their treatment of credits and coupons.`

`You may program up to 26 Shopper Bonus Redemption keys, each with an`
`identifier from A to Z.This allows you to keep track of different`
`types of redeemed Shopper Bonus.`

`You may also enter your own description for this key.The description`
`is used on the customer receipt and on the system reports.__The default`
`description is, "Shopper Bonus".`

Refund Key

`The Refund key allows the clerk to issue a refund to the customer for`
`specific items.Issuing a refund with the POSey Cash Register is very`
`similar to ringing up the original sale.The Refund Key is pressed, and`
`then the item to be refunded is rung up.If the Refund key is programmed as`
`a Transaction Refund key, then additional items may be refunded until the`
`Refund key is pressed again.`

`A special transaction need not be created for refunding in the POSey system.`
`During the course of any sale, an item or items may be refunded simply by`
`hitting the Refund key and ringing up the item to refund.The refunded`
`amount will be shown as a credit to the sale.`

`The only programming consideration when setting up a Refund key is whether`
`the scope of the key will be for one item only, or until the Refund key is`
`hit again.Program the key as "Pop-up" if you want the Refund key to affect`
`only the next item rung up.Programming the key as "Transaction" makes it`
`act as a toggle ... the first time the key is struck, the Register will be`
`placed in "refund mode" and all items rung into the sale will be refunded.`
`The next time the key is pressed, the Register will be returned to normal`
`sale mode.`

`The Paid Out key provides a method for paying cash out of the till.It may`
`be used to pay vendors for merchandise, or for any other purpose where cash`
`or other media needs to be paid from the cash drawer.The Paid Out`
`operation must be done within its own transaction.`

`To use the Paid Out key, first enter the dollar amount to be paid out, then`
`hit the Paid Out key.If you have the system configured to interface`
`with CARE's accounting, you will be asked to enter the G/L Account number`
`for the paid out expense.`

`Next, the Register will ask for the media to be paid out.Hit the Media key`
`for the proper media.If an amount must be paid out in several different`
`medias, the Paid Out key will have to be used more than one time.`

`The Paid Out key should not be used when taking cash out of the till to`
`reduce the bank.This operation should be recorded by using the Pick Up`
`key.`

`No additional key programming is required when defining a Paid Out key.`

Received On Account Key

`The Received On Account key is used to record the receipt of money or other`
`media from customers as payment on a house account.The amount is credited`
`to the account, and will appear on the customer's statement.Amounts`
`received on account must be rung up as a separate transaction.Two received`
`on account items may not be rung into the same transaction.`

`To use the Received On Account key, enter the amount that has been received.`
`The hit the Received On Account key.The Register will ask you to enter the`
`number of the House Account.You may enter the account number, and then hit`
`the House Account key, if the account number is known.`

`Or you may simply hit the House Account key without entering the account`
`number, and a list of accounts will be displayed.Now you can scroll`
`through the list of accounts until the proper account is located.Hit`
`"Accept" to select the account, or "Escape" to cancel the R.O.A. operation.`

`Once the right account has been retrieved, you will be asked to confirm`
`your selection.Optionally, there is a POSEY.CFG option which may be set`
`to skip this confirmation step.__See the section, "Appendices, Configuration`
`Using POSEY.CFG" for more information.`

`After the Received On Account is rung into the sale, you may tender the sale`
`as usual, designating the proper media.`

`No additional key programming is required when defining a Received On`
`Account key.`

Loan Key

`The Loan key is used to add media to the cash till of the Register.`
`Typically, this would be done at the beginning of the day or shift so that`
`the POSey program knows how much money should be in the cash drawer.`

`To perform the Loan operation, hit the Loan key.The Register will respond`
`with the message, "Loan Started".The only operations allowed at this point`
`are the entering of dollar amounts and pressing media keys.Enter an`
`amount, and then hit the appropriate media key to designate which type of`
`media has been "loaned" to the Register.This operation may be repeated as`
`many times as necessary until the loan operation is complete.__Then hit the`
`Loan key again, and the Register will be ready for a normal transaction.`

`No additional key programming is required when defining a Loan key.`

Pick-Up Key

`The Pick-Up key is used to record withdrawal of media from the cash till of`
`the Cash Register.Any time money is taken from the drawer, it should be`
`recorded by using the Pick-Up key so that the POSey Register knows how much`
`is accountable.The only exception to this rule would be at the end of the`
`day or shift, where a Media Declare key may be used to count out the drawer.`

`Normally the Pick-Up key would be used in mid-shift to remove media from the`
`drawer.For instance, it is customary for the manager to remove large bills`
`or large acummulations of cash.This prevents large losses in the event of`
`theft.`

`To perform the Pick-Up operation, hit the Pick-Up key.The Register will`
`respond with the message, "Pick-Up Started".The only operations allowed at`
`this point are the entering of dollar amounts and pressing media keys.`
`Enter an amount, and then hit the appropriate media key to designate which`
`type of media has been "picked-up" from the Register.__This operation may be`
`repeated as many times as necessary until the pick-up operation is complete.`
`Then hit the Pick-Up key again, and the Register will be ready for a normal`

Declare Media Key

`The Declare Media key is similar in function to the Pick-Up key.It is`
`provided to allow the clerk to remove media from the cash drawer of the`
`Register.`

`No additional key programming is required when defining a Declare Media key.`

`Normally the Pick-Up key would be used in mid-shift to remove media from the`
`drawer.However the Media Declare key may be used at the end of the shift`
`to allow the clerk to count out the cash drawer, one media at a time.`

`The difference between the Pick-Up and Media Declare key is the way the`
`medias are represented on the Register System report.If the Pick-Up key is`
`used to remove media from the till, the System report shows the amount of`
`the pick-ups, but does not include it in the media totals.If the Media`
`Declare key is used, the media is still included in the media totals, and`
`each type of media is compared with the amount that was declared during the`
`Media Declaration.`

`To perform the Media Declaration operation, hit the Media Declaration key.`
`The Register will respond with the message, "Start Media Declare".The`
`only operations allowed at this point are the entering of dollar amounts and`
`pressing media keys.Enter an amount, and then hit the appropriate media`
`key to designate which type of media is being declared.This operation may`
`be repeated as many times as necessary until the media declaration operation`
`is complete.Then hit the Media Declare key again, and the Register`
`will be ready for a normal transaction.`

`During Media Declaration, it is expected that the clerk will declare each`
`type of currency in a separate step.For instance, the pennies would be`
`counted out, and then the amount would be declared as "CASH".Then the`
`nickels would be counted out, and also declared as "CASH".This process`
`continues until all the cash, checks, charge card slips, etc. are declared.`
`However this recommended procedure is not absolutely necessary.The clerk`
`may just as easily declare all of the cash media in one step, if that method`
`is preferred.`

Void Keys

`Void keys are required for just about any cash register system.The POSey`
`Register offers a complete complement from which you can choose; void item,`
`void last item, or void transaction.`

`If you are using a touch-screen, light-pen, or mouse with the POSey Cash`
`Register, it is not even necessary to program a Void key on the screen,`
`unless you want to do so for operator convenience.This is because the`
`entire area of the screen used to display the sale totals is a "Void Area".`
`If this area is touched, the effect is the same as if you had pressed a Void`
`Item key.`

`| None||_|`
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

Void Item Key

`The Void Item key is the most versatile of the POSey void keys.When used`
`with a touch-screen, light-pen, or mouse based system, it allows you to void`
`any item in the transaction, or to void the whole transaction.On these`
`systems, pressing the Void Item key is functionally equivalent to touching`
`the "Void Area" of the screen.`

`In some cases, even touch-screen systems will be programmed to have a Void`
`Item key in order to make the void operation more intuitive to new`
`operators.And all POS keyboard-based systems must have a Void key of some`
`sort programmed in order to operate as a full-function Cash Register.`

`No additional key programming is required when defining a Void Item key.`

`When the Void Item key is pressed, a detailed list of the lines in the`
`transaction will be displayed.On keyboard based systems, this void screen`
`will appear to be quite similar to the normal Register display.`

`To void an item from the sale, simply highlight the item to be voided.On`
`touch-screen systems this is done by touching the area of the screen.On`
`keyboard systems this is done by using the up/down arrow keys.Once the`
`item has been highlighted, it is voided by hitting the void-item selection`
`box on touch-screen systems, or by hitting the Void Item key on keyboard`
`systems.Keyboard based systems also support the use of the 8 and 5 numeric`
`keys in place of up/down, and the 5 key for void selection.`

`On touch-screen, light-pen, or mouse systems only, you may also select to`
`void the entire transaction from the Void Item screen.`

`When used in conjunction with remote printers (termed kitchen printers in a`
`restaurant), there are two distinct types of void classes.A pre-void is a`
`void that is done before an item is sent to the remote printer.A post-void`
`is one that is done after the item is sent to the remote printer.The`
`difference between these two void types is critical, and is provided`
`different levels of password protection.`

`Pre-voids are usually considered to be unimportant, and in fact are usually`
`just a result of entry errors by the clerk.However, post-voids are more`
`serious in nature since in a restaurant environment any item which has been`
`sent to the kitchen printer may already be in the process of being prepared.`
`This means that a post-void could result in food being wasted ... something`
`that is not often allowed without manager approval.`

`Items that are voided are removed from the sale entirely.A record is kept`
`by the POSey Register and printed on the guest check and clerk reports.`
`When manager approval is required for a post-void, the clerk ID of the`
`person giving approval is also noted and reported.`

`If you void an item that includes condiments, all the condiments will be`
`removed along with the item itself.You may also void single condiments`
`from an item.`

`Once a sale has been finalized, it is impossible to void items or recall the`
`transaction.__If the sale must be voided after the fact, the only option is`
`to do perform a refund operation.`

Void Last Item Key

`The Void Last Item key is, as the name implies, used to void the last item`
`on the Register receipt display.The advantage to using the Void Last Item`
`key is that it is a single keystroke operation ... no void line selection is`
`needed.You might consider the Void Last Item key to be like an "Undo" key.`

`No additional key programming is required when defining a Void Last Item`
`key.`

`Use of the Void Next Item key is quite simple.__When an item has been rung`
`into the sale by mistake, simply hit the Void Next Item key and the item`
`will be removed from the transaction.`

`Important Note: If you use the Prioritize Receipt option, the last item rung`
`into the sale may not be the last one listed in the Register receipt window.`
`Remeber that the Void Last Item key removes the last line on the receipt ...`
`not necessarily the last item added to the sale.`

Void Transaction Key

`The Void Transaction key allows you to void the entire transaction with a`
`single keystroke or touch.When the transaction is voided, all items will`
`be removed, and the system will be ready for a new transaction.The only`
`time a transaction may not be voided is after tendering has already begun.`
`In this case, if you try to void the transaction, the system will respond`
`with the message, "Must complete tendering!".`

`No additional key programming is required when defining a Void Transaction`
`key.`

`When used in conjunction with remote printers (termed kitchen printers in a`
`restaurant), there are two distinct types of void classes.A pre-void is a`
`void that is done before an item is sent to the remote printer.A post-void`
`is one that is done after the item is sent to the remote printer.The`
`difference between these two void types is critical, and is provided`
`different levels of password protection.`

`Pre-voids are usually considered to be unimportant, and in fact are usually`

`sent to the kitchen printer may already be in the process of being prepared.`
`This means that a post-void could result in food being wasted ... something`
`that is not often allowed without manager approval.`

`Any transaction that has any items that have been sent to the remote printer`
`will be classed as post-void if a transaction void operation is requested by`
`pressing the Transaction Void key.`

`Items that are voided are removed from the sale entirely.A record is kept`
`by the POSey Register and printed on the guest check and clerk reports.`
`When manager approval is required for a post-void, the clerk ID of the`
`person giving approval is also noted and reported.`

`Once a sale has been finalized, it is impossible to void the transaction or`

Guest Check Keys

`The term "guest check" comes from the restaurant business, where it is`
`frequently necessary to keep track of items ordered by a customer, even`
`though the transaction may not be finalized until a later time.The POSey`
`system provides a full complement of guest check features, providing the`
`ability to create, recall, print, and service guest checks.Checks may also`
`be split into more than one check, and two checks may be combined into a`
`single check.Checks may be stacked to facilitate sending all items to the`
`kitchen printers at the same time.And guest checks may be transferred to`
`other servers or clerks.`

`The POSey system supports the traditional "hard checks" which require a`
`special slip printer, and also the more convenient "soft check" which may be`
`used with a standard receipt printer.See the section, "Configuration &`
`Setup, Receipt Printer Configuration" for details about setting up a guest`
`check printer.`

`Even though guest checks were developed for use by restaurants, they can`
`also be useful for other types of businesses.Guest checks could be used to`
`to keep track of advance orders or phone orders for a retail business, or`
`they could be used to bill and make arrangements for parties or special`
`events by a service business.__Any application which requires that a`
`transaction be started at one time and finalized later may be a potential`
`use for guest checks.`

Guest Check Key

`A single Guest Check key can be programmed to perform a number of different`
`functions.Or you may program several Guest Check keys to perform specific`
`operations having to do with guest checks.The Guest Check key can be used`
`to open, print, and service guest checks.`

`A variety of options and special features are available for the Guest Check`
`key;`

`___Allow Open of Guest Check: If this field is set to 'Y', the Guest`
`Check key may be used to open or create a guest check.If a guest`
`check or table/seat number is specified before hitting the Guest`
`Check key, the specified check will be retrieved.If the check`
`cannot be found, the check will be created.`

`If the check or table/seat number is not specified beforehand, and`
`the Open Check Window option is set to 'N', the system will`
`automatically create a new check if the Automatic Numbering option`
`is enabled.If Automatic Numbering is not enabled the program will`
`tell you that a check number must be entered first.`

`If the check or table/seat number is not specified beforehand, and`
`the Open Check Window option is enabled, a list of open checks will`
`be displayed.You may select to open any check from the list, or`
`you may select to create a new check.If no open checks are`
`available, and Automatic Numbering is enabled, a new check will be`
`created.If Automatic Numbering is not enabled the program will`
`__tell you that a check number must be entered first.`

`_Allow Service of Guest Check: A 'Y' in this field allows you to use`
`this Guest Check key to service the check.The expression "service`
`the check" means to save it for later retrieval.Once the guest`
`check has been serviced, it is saved on disk and the contents will`
`be safe, even in the event of a power failure.If a power failure`
`or other system interruption occurs before the check is serviced,`
`the current portion of the transaction may have to be re-entered.`

`_Allow Automatic Numbering: This option allows the system to assign`
`guest check numbers automatically.Guest Check numbers are assigned`
`in sequential order, beginning with the guest check seed value`
`specified when the Guest Check 'Z' Report is run.If you try to`
`create a new check by first entering the guest check number, the`
`the system will respond with, "Automatic Numbering Only".You must`
`select either the Automatic or Manual Numbering option.`

`_Allow Manual Numbering: This option allows you to specify the guest`
`check number manually by using the touch screen or keyboard.To`
`create or open a guest check with manual numbering, the guest check`
`number must be specified before hitting the Guest Check key.If you`
`try to create a new guest check without first entering the guest`
`check number, the system will respond with, "Must Enter Check`
`Number".You must select either the Automatic or Manual Numbering`
`option.`

`_Allow Redundant Checks: If this option is set to 'Y', checks are`
`recalled by check number, and manual numbering is enabled, the`
`Register will allow duplicate guest check numbers to be created.If`
`the number of a closed guest check is entered, and the Guest Check`
`key is pressed, the closed check will be retrieved.At this point,`
`if you hit the Inquiry key, the closed check will be printed.`
`However, if the Allow Redundant Checks is enabled, and the Guest Check`
`key is pressed again, the next closed check with this number will be`
`recalled.If no additional closed checks with this number are found,`
`a new guest check with this number will be created.`

`_Automatic Demand Check Print: When this option is set to 'Y', the`
`__check which is currently open will be printed.The Demand Check`
`Print option will override the receipt printer switch which is set`
`to 'Y/N' in Register Configuration.This allows you to set the`
`receipt printer switch to 'N' so that guest checks are only printed`
`on demand.`

`_Open Check Window Option: If this option is set to 'Y', pressing a`
`Guest Check key programmed to allow open of guest checks, without`
`first entering the guest check number, will cause a selection window`
`of all open checks to be displayed on the screen.If the Guest`
`Check key is programmed for Server Bank, only those checks for the`
`currently logged server will be displayed.If the Guest Check key`
`is programmed for Cashier Bank, all open checks will be displayed.`

`When the check selection window is displayed, you may select the`
`check you want to open, or you may choose to create a new guest`
`check.You may also abort the operation.`

`_Recall by Check # or Table #: Set this option to 'C' to recall`
`guest checks by check number.Or set it to 'T' to recall guest`
`checks by table and seat number.When recalling checks by table`
`and seat number, you must use the notation TTT.SSS, where 'TTT'`
`is the table number, and 'SSS' is the seat number, separated by`
`a decimal point.If only one check exists for a particular table`
`number, it is permissable to enter the table number by itself.`

`_Cashier or Server Bank: If you enter a 'C' in this field, all`
`__guest checks will be available for opening.This mode is referred`
`to as cashier banking, and would normally be done on a Register`
`used by the cashier.`

`If you enter an 'S' in this field, only those checks for the`
`currently logged server will be available for opening.This helps`
`to keep the Open Check Window brief for each server, and also`
`prevents the servers from modifying or viewing the guest checks of`
`other servers.`

`_Minimum Check Number Length: Enter the minimum length for the guest`
`__check number.The minimum length allowed is 1 character.The`
`default minimum is 8 characters.`

`_Maximum Check Number Length: Enter the maximum length for the guest`
`check number.The maximum length allowed is 8 characters, and the`
`default maximum is 8 characters.`

`The following Guest Check key parameters specify information which is to be`
`provided by the server when a guest check is created.Each option may`
`contain a 0, 1, or 2.The meanings for these numbers is as follows;`

`0_Do not ask for this information when creating check.`
`__1_Ask for this information, but entry is optional.`
`__2_This information must be provided in order to open the check.`

`When a guest check is created, the server will be asked to enter a response`
`for each item which does not have a '0' in the Guest Check key programming.`
`The information which can be requested is as follows;`

`___Server #1, #2, #3: Input of this information is not currently used`
`by the POSey system.Server #1 is automatically filled in with the`
`current server number when a stack check operation is in progress,`
`and Server #2 is used when a guest check is transferred.However`
`any data manually entered into these fields is ignored.In other`
`words, you might as well leave the values for these three parameters`
`as zero.Future versions of POSey may take advantage of different`
`__server numbers.`

`_Table #: Used for entry of a table number.This should be a numeric`
`response in order to recall by table/seat number.Table number may`
`__also be entered when recalling by check number.`

`_# Guests: The number of guests for this guest check.Note that when`
`a guest check is stacked, only the first check of the series`
`indicates the correct number of guests.Subsequently stacked checks`
`show the number of guests as zero.This allows the system to keep`
`proper track of the number of guests without asking for the number`
`of guests for each check in a set of stacked checks.`

`_Account #: If an account number is entered, the Register will check`
`__to make sure it a valid account number.If not, a message will be`
`displayed on the screen, and the number may be re-entered.Entering`
`an account number also causes the account name and a signature line`
`to be printed at the bottom of the guest check when it is tendered.`

`_Date Needed: If entered when creating the Guest Check, the date`
`______needed will be printed on the kitchen ticket.`

`_Time Needed: If entered when creating the Guest Check, the time`
`______needed will be printed on the kitchen ticket.`

`_Seat #: The seat number for this guest check.This should be a`
`numeric response in order to recall by table/seat number.The seat`
`number may also be entered when recalling by check number.Note`
`that the stack check routine uses the seat number to differentiate`
`__between checks that are stacked together.`

Stack Check Key

`The Stack Check key is used to enter a series of guest checks into one group`
`which is output to the kitchen printers at the same time.Typically, the`
`stack check feature would be used when entering orders for a number of`
`different people at a table who desire separate checks.All of the checks`
`are printed in the kitchen at the same time, and with an indication that the`
`checks are to be grouped together.This tells the cook that all of these`
`orders should be ready for delivery to the table at the same time.`

`When the Stack Check key is pressed, the server will be prompted for the`
`number of checks to stack.After the number of checks is entered, the`
`operation of the Stack Check key will depend on how the key programming`
`options are set.`

`If automatic numbering is enabled, a new check will be created and the`
`server may ring up the appropriate items.After the guest check is`
`serviced, the next check will automatically be created.This process`
`continues until the specified number of checks has been created and`
`serviced.If the "Allow Redundant Checks" option is enabled, each of the`
`checks will have the same check number, and is differentiated by the seat`
`number.Otherwise, each check will have a different check number, but the`
`seat number will still increment by one with each stacked check.`

`If manual numbering is enabled, the guest check selection window will be`
`displayed, and the server may select a check to open.After the order is`
`updated, and the check serviced, the guest check selection window is again`
`displayed so that another check may be opened.This process continues until`
`the specified number of checks have been serviced.The manual numbering`
`option would normally be specified when programming a Stack Check key to act`
`as a "Restack Check" key.`

`Several options are available when programming the Stack Check key;`

`_Allow Automatic Numbering: Set this field to 'Y' to allow the`
`program to automatically assign a guest check number to the stacked`
`checks.This is the option you should choose to allow the server to`
`stack checks initially.`

`_Allow Manual Numbering: Set this field to 'Y' to cause the guest`
`check selection window to be displayed so the server can choose`
`which checks to stack.This is the option you should choose to`
`allow "restacking" of existing checks.`

`_Allow Redundant Checks: Set this field to 'Y' to allow more than one`
`__guest check with the same number.When enabled, the stack check`
`operation will assign all check stacked together the same guest`
`check number, but with a different seat number.If you don't allow`
`redundant checks, each stacked check will be assigned a different`
`number (but the seat numbers will still be incremented for each`
`stacked check).`

`_Forced Seats: Currently, this option must be set to 'Y'.This`
`causes the stack check routine to assign different seat numbers for`
`each of the stacked checks.Setting this option to 'N' may yield`
`__unexpected results.`

`The following Stack Check key parameters specify information which is to be`
`provided by the server when a guest check is created.Each option may`
`contain a 0, 1, or 2.The meanings for these numbers is as follows;`

`0_Do not ask for this information when creating check.`
`__1_Ask for this information, but entry is optional.`
`__2_This information must be provided in order to open the check.`

`When the stack check routine creates a new guest check, the server will be`
`asked to enter a response for each item which does not have a '0' in the`
`Guest Check key programming.The information which can be requested is as`
`follows;`

`_Server #1, #2, #3, Table #, # Guests: These fields are not relevant`
`during a stack check operation.The clerk will not be prompted for`
`this information during a stack check operation, even if the parameter`
`field is set to a non-zero value.`

`_Account #: This information is not currently used by the POSey`
`______system.`

`_Date Needed: This information is not currently used by the POSey`
`______system.`

`_Time Needed: This information is not currently used by the POSey`
`______system.`

`*_Seat #: The POSey system automatically assigns sequential seat`
`numbers to each stacked check.Therefore, any seat number which is`
`__manually entered is not currently used by the program.`

Combine Guest Check Key

`The Combine Guest Check key is used to join 2 or more checks into a single`
`guest check.Checks are combined one check at a time using the following`
`procedure;`

`_Open one of the guest checks you wish to combine.`

`___Hit the Combine Guest Check key.The guest check selection window`
`____will be displayed.`

`_Select the guest check you wish to combine with the currently open`
`______guest check.`

`_The checks will be combined, and the guest check will remain open.`

`___If you wish to combine with yet another guest check, hit the Combine`
`______Guest Check key and select another check.`

`_Repeat this procedure until all checks have been combined.`

`When checks are combined, a special ticket is printed when the combined`
`check is serviced the first time, showing the amount combined from each`
`guest check along with the total amount of the combined check.`

`No additional key programming is required when defining a Combine Guest`
`Check key.`

`+-------------------+--------------------------------------------------+`

Split Guest Check Key

`The Split Guest Check key is used to divide a single guest check into two`
`individual guest checks.The resulting guest checks may be further split`
`into any number of guest checks.`

`To perform a split check operation, follow these steps;`

`_If the Split Guest Check key allows recall of guest checks, you may`
`__hit the Split Guest Check key first and select the check to split`
`from the guest check selection box, or you may enter the check`
`number and then hit the Split Guest Check key to open the check.`

`If the key is not programmed for recall of guest checks, you must`
`open the guest check using a normal Guest Check key programmed to`
`allow opening of checks.`

`_Once the check to split has been selected, if the check was opened`
`using the Split Guest Check key, you will automatically be taken to`
`the split check operation.If the check to split was opened with a`
`normal Guest Check key, you will not need to hit the Split Guest`
`Check key to start the split check process.`

`_If Automatic check numbering is enabled for the Split Guest Check`
`key, a new check will automatically be opened.If you are using`
`manual check numbering, you will be asked to specify a new check`
`number.`

`_The check to split and the new check will now both be displayed on`
`the screen.Line items may be selected and sen from one check to`
`the other until the checks are split correctly.`

`_Repeat this process if the guest check needs to be split into more`
`______than one check.`

`There are several options available when programming a Split Guest Check`
`key;`

`_Allow Recall of Guest Check: Set this option to "Y" to allow this`
`Split Guest Check key to open the guest check and initiate the split`
`check process in one operation.If this option is set to "N", the`
`guest check must already be open to initiate the splitting`
`operation.`

`_Allow Automatic Numbering: Setting this field to "Y" allows the`
`Register program to automatically assign a guest check number to the`
`new guest check.You must select either Automatic Numbering or`
`Manual Numbering.`

`_Allow Manual Numbering: Setting this field to "Y" allows you to`
`assign a number the newly created check.You must select either`
`Automatic Numbering or Manual Numbering, or both.`

`_Allow Redundant Checks: When set to "Y", and used with manual`
`__numbering, you will be allowed to use redundant check numbers for`
`newly created checks.`

`_Open Check Window Option: This option allows you to select guest`
`checks from the guest check selection window.If this option is set`
`to "N", you must specify the check number before hitting the Split`
`Guest Check key.`

`_Recall by Check # or Table #: Set this option to 'C' to recall`
`guest checks by check number.Or set it to 'T' to recall guest`
`checks by table and seat number.When recalling checks by table`
`and seat number, you must use the notation TTT.SSS, where 'TTT'`
`is the table number, and 'SSS' is the seat number, separated by`
`a decimal point.If only one check exists for a particular table`
`number, it is permissable to enter the table number by itself.`

`_Cashier or Server Bank: If you enter a 'C' in this field, all`
`guest checks will be available for opening.This mode is referred`
`to as cashier banking, and would normally be done on a Register`
`used by the cashier.`

`If you enter an 'S' in this field, only those checks for the`
`currently logged server will be available for opening.This helps`
`to keep the Open Check Window brief for each server, and also`
`prevents the servers from modifying or viewing the guest checks of`
`other servers.`

Transfer Guest Check Key

`The Transfer Guest Check key lets a server transfer control of a guest check`
`to another server.This is useful when an order must be transferred to a`
`driver for delivery (e.g. for pizza delivery), or when a server is going off`
`shift and must transfer his open checks to another server.`

`No additional key programming is required when defining a Transfer Guest`
`Check key.`

`To transfer a guest check, use this procedure;`

`_Open the guest check to be transferred.`

`___Hit the Transfer Guest Check key.The Register program will prompt`
`____for the new server number.`

`_Enter the new server number.If the number is valid, the check will`
`____be transferred to the new server, and the check will be serviced.`

`_If the POSey Delivery System is being used, and the destination for`
`__the guest check is "Delivery", the receipt printer will print the`
`guest check and delivery instructions.`

`Note that a guest check may not be opened and then immediately transferred`
`to another server.It must be serviced, and then re-opened, before being`
`transferred.`

Customer Tracking Keys

`The POSey Point-Of-Sale System provides a full-featured customer tracking`
`facility which allows you to track the purchases of customers.A history`
`may be kept which includes a complete detail of every item purchased, or`
`simply the total amount of each purchase.You may examine a customer track`
`account from the Cash Register.`

`Back-Office reports are provided which provide a listing of all purchases`
`for each customer which is tracked.`

`In addition to the standard customer tracking functions, the customer track`
`feature may also be used to recall a customer's previous order with a`
`"Duplicate Previous Order" key.`

`Customer tracking is also used to support a "Shopper Bonus" incentive system`
`for customers.The Customer Track key may be programmed with a percentage`
`to be credited to the customer's bonus account for each purchase.The`
`accumulated bonus may then be used by the customer as media for any sale`
`through the use of the Shopper Bonus Redemption key.`

`+-------------------+--------------------------------------------------+`
`| Function Code 76| CUSTOMER TRACK KEY___________________|`
`|----------------------------------------------------------------------|`

`| Enable Shopper Bonus| Y/N| N_|`
`| Bonus Percent_| 99.99 to -99.99|___|`
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

Customer Track Key

`The Customer Track key is used to identify a customer tracking account to`
`the system.If a customer track ID is entered before hitting the Customer`
`Track key, the account will be displayed, if it exists.If it does not`
`currently exist, or if the Customer Track key is hit without previously`
`entering an account ID, a customer track selection box will be displayed.`
`You may then select the desired account from the list.Page up and page`
`down keys may be used to scroll through more accounts.`

`If only a partial customer track account ID is entered, those accounts`
`beginning at that ID are displayed.Customer Track ID's can be`
`composed of numbers or letters.`

`If the Inquiry key is entered before using the Customer Track key, an`
`inquiry of the Customer Track account will be done.This will allow you to`
`enter new customer track accounts from the Cash Register, or to update`
`current accounts.It also lets you view the amount of shopper bonus credit`
`is available for the customer, if the Shopper Bonus feature is enabled for`
`the Customer Track key.`

`For a complete discussion of the Shopper Bonus feature see the section,`
`"Customer Track, Shopper Bonus".`

`When programming the Customer Track key, there are two options which may be`
`programmed;`

`___Enable Shopper Bonus: Set this option to "Y" if you want customers`
`identified with this Customer Track key to be elligible to receive a`
`shopper bonus incentive.If some customers will be elligible for`
`shopper bonus and some customers are not, you may program more than`
`one Customer Track key with the options set differently.`

`_Bonus Percent: If shopper bonus is enabled, enter the percentage of`
`the sale to apply to the customer's shopper bonus account.Note`
`that negative bonuses percentages are possible, but the use for`
`__negative bonuses is questionable.`

Duplicate Previous Order Key

`The Duplicate Previous Order key is used to automatically ring up a sale`
`composed of the same line items as the order previously placed by the same`
`customer.Use of this key requires that the customer be customer tracked,`
`and that the customer track account be set to save the detail of the`
`transactions.See the section, "Customer Tracking" for more information`
`about setting up customer track accounts.`

`The Duplicate Previous Order key may be used with or without guest checks.`

`Once the previous order has been recalled into the present sale, individual`
`lines may be voided, or additional items may be added to the sale.`

`No additional key programming is required when defining a Duplicate Previous`
`Order key.`

Client Tracking Key

`The Client Tracking key is a way for you to grant discounts to certain`
`clients.The amount of the discounts given is tracked, and may be printed`
`using back-office reports.`

`In the client tracking system, the "client" is assumed to be a company which`
`is provided a designated discount percentage on purchases.Each client`
`company may have a number of individual customers who are ellible to receive`
`the company discount.`

`The features of the Customer Tracking key are not generally available for`
`client tracking.That is to say, you cannot select a client account from a`
`selection box, and you cannot do an account inquiry.The system is best`
`used where magcards can be scanned to identify a particular client account.`

`Client accounts are setup using the Client Track Entry program.See the`
`section, "Client Tracking" for more information about how the client`
`tracking system works.`

`The Client Track key should be used at the end of the sale, before the sale`
`is tendered.You may enter the client track account before hitting the`
`Client Track key, or if you hit the Client Track key first the system will`
`prompt you to enter the number.`

`When a valid account number has been identified, the company discount`
`percentage for this client will be applied to the sale as a transaction`
`discount.`

`No additional key programming is required when defining a Client Tracking`
`key.`

`The Clock In/Out key allows clerks and other employees to record the time at`
`which they start or stop work.The POSey Time & Attendance system keeps`
`track of clock in/out times, and can generate reports showing total hours`
`worked, amount of pay, and various other information.Once the Time &`
`Attendance system has been set up, the POSey Register can act as an`
`electronic time clock.See the chapter, "Time & Attendance" for detailed`
`information about how to use this capability.`

`No additional key programming is required when defining a Clock In/Out key.`

`To use the Clock In/Out key, the clerk simply enters their clerk number,`
`then presses the key.If a valid number has been entered, the program`
`responds by clocking them in or out of the system.`

`If the clerk was not previously clocked in, a box will be displayed on the`
`screen showing the time they are clocking in.If the clerk was already`
`clocked into the system, a box will be displayed showing the clock in time`
`and the clock out time.`

`The Clock In/Out key may be hit again, or the display box may be touched on`
`a touch screen system.This causes the receipt printer to print a record of`
`the clock in/out time which the clerk may keep for his records.__The clerk`
`is now "on the clock".`

`The POSey Time & Attendance system may be configured to force clerks to`
`clock in before they are allowed to log onto the Register to enter sales.`
`See the chapter, "Time & Attendance" for more detailed information.`

`| Pop-Up, Stay-Down_| P/S____| P_|`
`| Clerk Code______________| Valid Clerk Code_|_______________|`
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

Clerk Logon Key

`The Clerk Logon key can be used to help automate the clerk logon process.`
`It is not necessary to program a Clerk Logon key, since the clerk may logon`
`manually by entering his clerk number, and then hitting the CASH key.`

`Regardless of how the Clerk Logon key is programmed, pressing it will return`
`the Register to the logon menu level, if one has been specified in the`
`POSEY.CFG file.See the section, "Appendices, Configuration Using`
`POSEY.CFG" for more detailed information about the logon menu.`

`The following information should be provided when programming a Clerk Logon`
`key;`

`_Pop-Up, Stay-Down: A "P" or an "S" should be entered in this field.`
`The clerk whose number is pre-programmed will automatically be logged`
`onto the Register.Programming the key as Pop-Up will cause the`
`Register to prompt for a clerk logon again at the end of the`
`transaction, as if the Compulsory Logon feature were being used.`
`Programming the key as a Stay-Down will allow the clerk to continue`
`to ring sales until another clerk logs on, or until the Register is`
`exited.`

`_Clerk Code: Enter the clerk number for the clerk who is to be logged`
`on with this key.The clerk number must refer to a clerk who is`
`assigned Register access in his clerk record, and who has Register`
`__access password authority.`

`| Function Code 81| TIPS IN KEY____________________|`
`|----------------------------------------------------------------------|`
`| Information Needed| Range| Default Value |`
`|---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------|`
`| Description_| 15 characters| "TIP ADDED"_|`
`| Amount or Percent_____| A/P| A_|`
`| Percentage______________| -9999 to 99999_| 15__________|`
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

Tips In Key

`The Tips In key is used to add a tip or gratuity amount to the transaction.`
`This is necessary if the tip is to be included in the customer's bill, for`
`instance when they are paying with a check or credit card.`

`Another use for the Tip In key is where you want to force a particular`
`gratuity percentage.This is commonly done is restaurants by adding a 15 or`
`20 percent gratuity to the checks of large parties.`

`If the Tips In key is programmed to calculate a set percentage, then all you`
`have to do to add the tip is hit the Tips In key.The amount of sale will`
`be multiplied by the tip percentage to calculate the tip amount.`

`If the Tips In key is programmed to use an amount, then the dollar amount of`
`the tip must be entered at the Register before pressing the Tips In key.`

`The following information must be provided when programming the Tips In key;`

`___Description: This is the description that will be displayed on the`
`__Register screen, and printed on the customer receipt or guest check,`
`for the Tip Added item.`

`_Amount or Percentage: Enter "A" if you want the server to specify`
`the dollar amount when entering the tip.Enter "P" if you want the`
`tip to be a percentage of the sale.`

`*_Percentage: Enter the tip percentage to use when calculating the`
`amount of the tip.The value in this field will only be used if the`
`__"Amount or Percentage" field is set to "P".`

`+-------------------+--------------------------------------------------+`
`| Function Code 82| TIPS PAID KEY________________________|`

`|---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------|`
`| Description_| 15 characters| "TIP PAID"|`
`| Allow over-pay| Y/N| N___|`
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

Tips Paid Key

`The Tips Paid key is used by the server to remove his tips from the till.`
`The only tips which should be paid are those that are rung into sales by use`
`of the Tips In key, or those added to a credit card sale.The Tips Paid key`
`may not be used while in the middle of a transaction.`

`To use the Tips Paid key, the server should enter his clerk number and then`
`hit the Tips Paid key.The Register will display the amount of tips which`
`have been added to sales by this clerk in the message area of the screen.`
`The clerk will then be asked to enter the amount of tips that are to be`
`paid.This may be less than or equal to the amount of tips due, or it may`
`be more than the amount reported by the Register if the key is programmed to`
`allow over-payment of tips.`

`Once the tips amount to pay has been entered, the Register will ask which`
`media will be used to pay out the tips.The server should hit the`
`appropriate media key (for example, hit the "CASH" if the tips will be taken`
`from the drawer in cash).`

`The following information must be provided when programming the Tips Paid`
`key;`

`___Description: This is the description that will be displayed on`
`______system reports when listing the amount of tips paid to clerks.`

`_Allow over-pay: If you enter "N" in this field, the Register will`
`not allow the clerk to enter a tip amount greater than the tips`
`which have been paid in.If you enter "Y", then the clerk may`
`__enter any amount of tips to be paid.`

Screen Control Keys

`+-------------------+--------------------------------------------------+`
`| Function Code 10| CLEAR KEY________________________|`
`|----------------------------------------------------------------------|`
`| Information Needed| Range| Default Value |`
`|---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------|`
`| None||_|`
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

Clear Key

`The Clear key is used for a variety of purposes in the POSey Cash Register.`
`In many circumstances it is used to clear areas of the Register screen`
`display.It is also commonly used to abort a key operation and return to`
`transaction mode.`

`On touch-screen, light-pen, or mouse operated systems, it is not absolutely`
`necessary to program a Clear key since there is a Clear area defined on the`
`Register screen.The Clear touch-screen region is under the receipt window`
`and to the right of the Inquiry touch-screen region.`

`On non touch-screen systems, it is necessary to program at least one Clear`
`key, since the Clear key is required to exit the Register.`

`Here are examples of how the Clear key is used in the Register;`

`___To exit the Cash Register program, you must enter the key sequence`
`______Inquiry-Inquiry-Clear.`

`_When a transaction is finalized in the POSey Register, it remains`
`on the screen until the next transaction is initiated.If you`
`wish to clear the previous transaction from the Register screen`
`you may press the Clear key.`

`_If the Clear key is hit in between transactions, it will cause the`
`______store name to appear on the pole display.`

`_The Clear key is used to cancel many operations in the Register.`

`No additional key programming is required when defining a Clear key.`

Scroll Up Key

`The Scroll Up key is used to scroll up in selection windows.__Typical uses`
`would be when selecting items to void, selection a house account or customer`
`tracking account, or when selecting condiments.`

`It is not generally necessary to program a Scroll Up key on touch-screen,`
`light-pen, or mouse based systems, since all selection windows include`
`scroll up/down touch areas.`

`No additional key programming is required when defining a Scroll Up key.`

`+-------------------+--------------------------------------------------+`
`| Function Code 35| SCROLL DOWN KEY__________________|`
`|----------------------------------------------------------------------|`
`| Information Needed| Range| Default Value |`
`|---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------|`

Scroll Down Key

`The Scroll Down key is used to scroll down in selection windows.__Typical`
`uses would be when selecting items to void, selection a house account or`
`customer tracking account, or when selecting condiments.`

`It is not generally necessary to program a Scroll Down key on touch-screen,`
`light-pen, or mouse based systems, since all selection windows include`
`scroll up/down touch areas.`

`No additional key programming is required when defining a Scroll Down key.`

`+-------------------+--------------------------------------------------+`

`|----------------------------------------------------------------------|`
`| Information Needed| Range| Default Value |`
`|---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------|`
`| None||_|`
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

Left Arrow/Backspace Key

`The Left Arrow/Backspace key is used to backspace or make corrections when`
`entering data at the Register.__Any numbers or characters entered into the`
`Register entry window may be corrected using the Left/Arrow Backspace key.`
`This would include house account or customer track numbers, manually entered`
`credit card numbers, etc.`

`No additional key programming is required when defining a Left`
`Arrow/Backspace key.`

`+-------------------+--------------------------------------------------+`
`| Function Code 70| RIGHT ARROW KEY__________________|`
`|----------------------------------------------------------------------|`
`| Information Needed| Range| Default Value |`
`|---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------|`
`| None||_|`
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

Right Arrow Key

`The Right Arrow key is used to move the cursor non-desctructively to the`
`right during data entry at the Register.__In conjunction with the Left`
`Arrow/Backspace key, it may be used to make corrections to data being`
`entered into the Register entry window.`

`No additional key programming is required when defining a Right Arrow key.`

`+-------------------+--------------------------------------------------+`
`| Function Code 58| KEYMAP LEVEL KEY_________________|`
`|----------------------------------------------------------------------|`
`| Information Needed| Range| Default Value |`
`|---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------|`
`| Keymap Level| 0 to 999_|___________|`
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

Keymap Level Key

`The Keymap Level key (also referred to as Menu Level key) is used to switch`
`the Register display from one menu level to another.There are 1000 menu`
`levels available for programming, numbered from 0 to 999.`

`Special Note: There is also a menu level 1000, but it is reserved for the`
`special purpose of defining Register Report Menu Key Macros.See the`
`chapter, "Key Macros" for more information.`

`When programming the Keymap Level key, you must specify the menu number`
`(keymap level) of the level which will be displayed when the key is pressed.`

`When the Keymap Level key is pressed during operation of the Register, the`
`screen display switches to the new menu level design on touch-screen`
`systems.The design of each menu level, and the key placements is`
`accomplished with the Edit Keymaps program, and through the use of the Key`
`Programming program.`

`SPECIAL NOTE FOR POS KEYBOARD USERS`

`The Keymap Level key, along with the Previous Keymap key described below,`
`were both designed to accomodate touch-screen systems, where the screen`
`display changes with each new keymap level.However, it is also possible to`
`switch keymap levels on a system with a standard POS keyboard.__Since the`
`key captions on the keyboard obviously do not change, it is up to the user`
`to differentiate between the key functions of the different keymap levels.`
`One idea would be to double caption keys as shown below;`

`__+-------------+`
`|FRENCH/|`
`|FRIES/_|`
`|/MILK|`
`____|_/SHAKE|`
`________________________________+-------------+`

`Then the caption in the top left corner of the keys could reflect the key`
`function for menu level 0, and the caption at the bottom right could be the`
`menu level 1 key function.`

`+-------------------+--------------------------------------------------+`
`| Function Code 77| PREVIOUS KEYMAP KEY______________|`
`|----------------------------------------------------------------------|`
`| Information Needed| Range| Default Value |`
`|---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------|`
`| None||_|`
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

Previous Keymap Key

`The Previous Keymap key returns to the menu level that was displayed the`
`last time a Keymap Level key was used to switch menu levels.In the`
`simplist sense, this simply means that it returns you to the previous keymap`
`level.However, the key is slightly more sophisticated than it appears.`

`The POSey Register keeps track of the menu level switches that take place as`
`the result of pressing Keymap Level keys.__The Previous Keymap key then`
`allows you to reverse the process and go back to the previous levels in the`
`reverse order.`

`No additional key programming is required when defining a Previous Keymap`
`key.`

Gas Pump Keys

`The following keys are only used in conjunction with the POSey Gas Pump`
`interface, which is an extra cost hardware option of the POSey system.`
`Detailed information about how to install, setup, and configure the gas pump`
`system may be found in the chapter, "POSey Gas Pumps".`

`+-------------------+--------------------------------------------------+`
`| Function Code 72| AUTHORIZE GAS PUMP KEY_______________|`
`|----------------------------------------------------------------------|`
`| Information Needed| Range| Default Value |`
`|---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------|`
`| Ask for Pump Number_| Y/N____| Y_|`
`| Ask for Hose Number_| Y/N____| N_|`
`| Ask for Amount__| Y/N| N_|`

`| Default Hose Number_| 0 to 9_|_|`
`| Use Cash Sale on Fill-up| Y/N| N_____|`
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

Authorize Gas Pump Key

`The Authorize Gas Pump key is used to authorize a given pump for a specified`
`sale type and/or amount.`

`The Authorize Gas Pump key options are as follows:`

`___Ask for Pump Number: A pump number may be entered by the user before`
`hitting the Authorize Pump key.If no number was entered, the user`
`is asked for a pump number if this field is set to "Y".Otherwise,`
`__the pump number defaults to 1.`

`_Ask for Hose Number: If this field is set to "Y" the user is asked`
`____for a hose number.Otherwise, the default hose number is used.`

`_Ask for Amount: If this field is set to "Y" the user is asked for a`
`dollar limit for the sale.If the clerk enters a value of zero (or`
`no entry) the sale is a fill-up (no limit).If this field is "N",`
`__there is no dollar limit (i.e. always a fill-up).`

`_Ask for Cash/Credit: This field determines if the user is asked if`
`the sale is a cash or credit sale.If this field and the Ask for`
`Amount field are both set to no "N", then the cash price must be the`
`same as the credit price for each hose unless the sale type is`
`selected by the customer at the pump.`

`_Default 1)Cash or 2)Credit: If the Ask for Amount field is set to`
`____"Y" and the Ask for Cash/Credit field is not set to "N", then this`
`entry determines the default sale type.Otherwise it is ignored.`

`_Automatically add to Queue: If this field is set to "Y" and an`
`__attempt is made to authorize a pump which has a completed sale ready,`
`the sale will be added to the pump queue, the pump will be cleared, and`
`the authorization will proceed.`

`If this field is not set to "N" then a pump cannot be authorized`
`until any completed sale has been processed by the register.`

`_Pre-paid (add to sale): If this field is set to "Y" the transaction`
`is a pre-pay and the amount specified is added to the current receipt.`
`The amount is sent to the pump as a dollar limit.If less than the`
`specified amount is pumped the Get Pump Sale key will ring up a`
`refund of the difference.`

`Note that the Ask for Amount option must also be set to "Y" for this`
`option to be in effect.`

`_Default hose number: This is the default hose number for any pump`
`__selected by this key.It may be overridden if the Ask for Hose`
`Number option is set to "Y".This option allows the creation of`
`separate keys for different grades of gasoline (regular, premium,`
`etc.) assuming that the hose number for each grade is the same for`
`all pumps.`

`*_Use cash sale on fill-up: If this option is set to "Y" the register`
`will send the selected cash or credit price to the pump before each`
`transaction.The price will be sent as a "cash" price and a "cash"`
`sale will be processed.The cash register will then handle the`
`transaction as the specified type (cash or credit).`

`This option is intended for older pumps which cannot handle separate`
`cash and credit prices at the pump itself.Use it ONLY if the`
`system returns pump errors when trying to switch between cash and`
`__credit transactions.`

`+-------------------+--------------------------------------------------+`
`| Function Code 73| GET PUMP SALE KEY____________________|`
`|----------------------------------------------------------------------|`
`| Information Needed| Range| Default Value |`
`|---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------|`
`| Add directly to sale| Y/N| Y_|`
`| Sort by Date/Time_| Y/N__| N_|`
`| Stop Pump(s)____| Y/N| N_|`
`| Resume Pump(s)__| Y/N| N_|`
`| Cash/Credit Toggle| Y/N| N_____|`
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

Get Pump Sale Key

`The Get Pump Sale key is used to retrieve a sale from the pump queue or the`
`gas pump.It is also used to define keys which will stop or resume pumping,`
`or toggle between the cash and credit price.`

`The clerk may enter a pump number before hitting the Get Pump Sale key.If`
`a pump number is entered, only pending sales for that pump will be displayed`
`and/or selected.If no pump number is entered then pending sales for all`
`pumps will be displayed.`

`Each key can be configured using several options described below;`

`_Add directly to sale: If this field is set to "Y", a pump number`
`was entered, and there is only one pending sale for that pump, that`
`sale will immediately be added the current receipt.`

`For all other cases, a selection window will be displayed with`
`all pending (completed) sales.The user can then select which`
`sale is to be added to the receipt (or none if the CLEAR key is`
`entered).If a sale held at the pump is selected, that pump will`
`then be cleared.Sales still at the pump are flagged with an`
`asterisk ().`

`It is recommended that this field be set to no "N" to allow the`
`cashier to verify that the correct pump was selected.`

`_Sort by Time: If this field is set to "Y" the pending sales`
`__displayed in the selection window will be sorted by date/time`
`(oldest entry first).Otherwise they will be sorted by pump/hose`
`numbers.`

`All sales still held at the pumps will be marked with an asterisk`
`().If sorted by pump/hose number, then all sales in the pump`
`queue (if any) will be displayed before any sales still held at the`
`pumps.`

`_Stop Pump(s): If this field is set "Y" then options 1 and 2 are`
`ignored and the key is used to stop one or more pumps.The pump`
`number to be stopped must be entered by the cashier before`
`selecting this key.A pump number of 0 (or no entry) selects ALL`
`pumps.A message will be displayed asking for the cashier to`
`verify that the specified pump (or all pumps) is to be stopped.`
`Hitting the key again will stop the pump, or the CLEAR key will`
`cancel the request.`

`The same key may include both the stop and resume pump options. In`
`this case the current state of the pump is used to determine which`
`option is being requested.`

`If an emergency stop key is needed (stop all pumps) it may be defined`
`by a macro key which selects the CLEAR/STOP/STOP keys.`

`_Resume Pump(s): If this field is set to "Y" then options 1 and 2 are`
`ignored and the key is used to resume one or more pumps.The pump`
`number to be resumed must be entered by the cashier before`
`selecting this key.A pump number of 0 (or no entry) selects ALL`
`pumps.A message will be displayed asking for the cashier to`
`verify that the specified pump (or all pumps) is to be resumed.`
`Hitting the key again will resume the pump, or the CLEAR key will`
`cancel the request.`

`The same key may include both the stop and resume pump options. In`
`this case the current state of the pump is used to determine which`
`option is being requested.`

`*_Cash/Credit Toggle: If this field is set to "Y" then all other`
`options are ignored and the key is a cash/credit toggle key.The`
`cashier selects a gas sale line by entering the line number (from`
`the receipt window) and uses this key to toggle between the cash`
`and credit price for that line.If no line number is entered the`
`last line of the receipt is selected.If the selected line is not`
`__a gas pump sale the key will be ignored.`

Miscellaneous Function Keys

`There are a number of POSey Cash Register key functions which cannot be`
`conveniently grouped into a category.__The description of these keys makes`
`up the rest of this chapter.`

`+-------------------+--------------------------------------------------+`
`| Function Code 33| NUMBER PRINT/INQUIRY KEY_________|`
`|----------------------------------------------------------------------|`
`| Information Needed| Range| Default Value |`
`|---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------|`
`| None||_|`
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

Number Print/Inquiry Key

`The Number Print/Inquiry key is one of the most versatile and useful keys`
`available on the POSey Cash Register.Its key caption is frequently shown`
`as the number sign or pound sign "#".`

`On touch-screen, light-pen, or mouse-based systems, it is not necessary to`
`program a Number/Print Inquiry key, since there is a touch-region on the`
`screen which serves the same purpose as this key.It is the error message`
`window at the left side of the screen immediately below the receipt window.`

`When used for an inquiry, the Number Print/Inquiry key allows you to inquire`
`about the status of inventory items and house accounts.It can also be used`
`to recall closed guest checks for printing.`

`When used as a number print key, its most basic operation is to allow you to`
`print a manually entered number on the receipt.However, when combined with`
`other keystrokes, the Number Print key allows you to print receipts after`
`the sale, print duplicate receipts, or to turn the receipt printer off and`
`on.`

`A complete discussion of all the uses and techniques for using the Number`
`Print/Inquiry key is beyond the scope of this key programming section.See`
`various other sections of this manual which describe how the Number`
`Print/Inquiry key is used in conjunction with other POSey Register`
`operations.In particular, see the chapter, "POSey Cash Register" for`
`additional information.`

`No additional key programming is required when defining a Number`
`Print/Inquiry key.`

`+-------------------+--------------------------------------------------+`
`| Function Code 51| MEMO KEY_________________________|`
`|----------------------------------------------------------------------|`
`| Information Needed| Range| Default Value |`
`|---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------|`
`| None||_|`
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

Memo Key

`The Memo key is used to add a notation or memo to the receipt.The memo is`
`attached to the last item in the sale as if it were a zero-priced condiment.`
`It displays in the Register receipt window, and will be printed on the`
`remote printer or kitchen ticket, if one is configured on the system.`

`Typical uses for the Memo key might be to send special cooking instructions`
`to the kitchen, or a peculiar drink to the bartender.It can also be used`
`as a visual reminder or dividing point on a receipt where multiple orders`
`may need to be kept separate but on the same check.`

`No additional key programming is required when defining a Memo key.`

`In order to use the Memo key, the memo text should be entered first.This`
`can be done with the POS keyboard, a PC 101 keyboard attached to the`
`keyboard port, or with a touch-screen menu programmed with the required`
`characters.The press the Memo key to add the memo line to the receipt.`

`In addition to its normal use for entering memos, the Memo key has another`
`special purpose.If the first character of the memo text is a tilde "~", it`
`prevents the previous item in the transaction from being sent to the kitchen`
`printer.If the first two characters are tildes, the entire transaction is`
`prevented from printing in the kitchen.This feature would normally be used`
`with the Preset Condiment/Memo key, where preset memo text may be programmed`
`with the key.But it works equally well with the Memo key and a manually`
`entered memo.`

`+-------------------+--------------------------------------------------+`
`| Function Code 18| NO SALE KEY______________________|`
`|----------------------------------------------------------------------|`
`| Information Needed| Range| Default Value |`
`|---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------|`
`| None||_|`
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

No Sale Key

`The No Sale key is used to perform the customary cash register "No Sale"`
`function ... it simply causes the cash drawer to open when a sale is not`
`being tendered.`

`Of course in order for the No Sale key to open the drawer, a drawer must be`
`attached to the system and configured properly.See the chapter,`
`"Configuration & Setup" for more information about installing a cash drawer.`

`The function of the No Sale key is also available with other media keys.If`
`the No Sale Function is enabled, any media key will perform a no sale`
`operation if no transaction is in process, and the Open Drawer option is`
`enabled.`

`No additional key programming is required when defining a No Sale key.`

`+-------------------+--------------------------------------------------+`
`| Function Code 85| RENTAL RETURN KEY________________|`
`|----------------------------------------------------------------------|`
`| Information Needed| Range| Default Value |`
`|---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------|`
`| None||_|`
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

Rental Return Key

`When a rental item is sold at the register, it is rung into the sale, and`
`various information is saved about the item.When the item is returned by`
`the customer, the Rental Return key is used to place the Register in "Rental`
`Return Mode", and the item is again selected to show that it has been`
`returned.When done entering rental returns, hit the Rental Return key`
`again to restore the Register to normal transaction mode.`

`While in Rental Return Mode, the Register may only be used for the process`
`of returning rental items.The exact action that occurs when rental items`
`are returned will depend on the type of rental.Single fixed-rate rental`
`items will be shown as back in stock and available for another rental, but`
`no charge is added at the time of the rental return.For time-based`
`rentals, the elapsed time is calculated, and the rental charge is added to`
`the sale.`

`There are special conditions which affect how rental items may be sold and`
`returned from the Cash Register.For example, fixed-rate rentals must be`
`done in conjunction with customer tracking.And time-based rentals must be`
`rung into a guest check.`

`See the chapter, "Rental Items" for details about setting up the POSey`
`system to handle rentals.`

`+-------------------+--------------------------------------------------+`
`| Function Code 89| RENTAL LATE FEE KEY______________|`
`|----------------------------------------------------------------------|`
`| Information Needed| Range| Default Value |`
`|---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------|`
`| None||_|`
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

Rental Return Key

`When the POSey system is setup to process rental inventory items with the`
`POSEY.CFG option RENTAL.ACTIVE=TRUE, and also programmed to check for late`
`items with option RENTAL.LATEFEE=TRUE, this key is used to apply those late`
`fees to the current sale.A complete description of how to set up the`
`rental and late fee features can be found in the chapter, "Rental Items".`

`When the Rental Late Fee key is hit, no action will take place unless there`
`are late fees due from the currently tracked customer.If no customer has`
`been identified with the Customer Track key, a message will be displayed.`

`If late fees are due, a selection will open on the screen, showing each`
`rental item for which a late fee is due.Late fees are attached to rental`
`items when the items are returned late using the Rental Return key.`

`You may select as many items from the list as you like.If an item is`
`selected by mistake, it may be de-selected by selecting it again.When the`
`list of selected items is correct, hit the Accept key.Each late fee item`
`will be added to the current transaction, along with a memo line showing the`
`description of the rental item that was late.`

`| Function Code 86| 86 ITEM KEY______________________|`
`|----------------------------------------------------------------------|`
`| Information Needed| Range| Default Value |`
`|---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------|`
`| None||_|`
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

86 Item Key

`The 86 Item key is used to make certain items unavailable for sale.Once`
`made unavailable, any attempt to ring the item into a sale will result in`
`the message, "Cannot Sell At This Time!".The item will continue to be`
`86'ed until it is manually reset using the 86 Item Entry program, or until`
`the next System "Z" Report is run.`

`To use the 86 Item key, simply hit the key.This will place the Register`
`into 86 Item mode.While in 86 Item mode, any inventory item (Preset or`
`PLU) you attempt to ring into the sale will instead be marked as`
`unavailable.When finished marking items unavailable, hit the 86 Item key`
`again.This will return you to the normal operation mode of the Register.`

`No additional key programming is required when defining an 86 Item key.`

`| Function Code 50| MACRO KEY____________________________|`
`|----------------------------------------------------------------------|`
`| Information Needed| Range| Default Value |`
`|---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------|`
`| Up to 50 Macro key codes| See text_|___________|`
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

Macro Key

`The Macro key allows you to pre-program up to 50 key codes for automatic`
`execution when the key is pressed.Special codes can also be included in`
`the macro which allow you to switch menu levels, chain to other macros, exit`
`and return to the Register, etc.`

`The Macro key is such a powerful feature that a special Macro Editor program`
`is provided, and an entire chapter of this manual is devoted to designing`
`and using macros.See the chapter, "Key Macros" for detailed information.`

`+-------------------+--------------------------------------------------+`
`| Function Code 56| MULTI-MACRO KEY__________________|`
`|----------------------------------------------------------------------|`
`| Information Needed| Range| Default Value |`
`|---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------|`
`| None||_|`
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

Multi-Macro Key

`The Multi-Macro key requires that the clerk enter the number of the Macro`
`key that should be executed.If the key number specified is a valid Macro`
`key the macro will then be run just as though the Macro key had been pushed.`
`The Macro key must be on the same menu level as the Multi-Macro key.`

`The Macro key number specified with the Multi-Macro key does not have to be`
`a physical key on the keyboard or touch-screen.In other words it can be a`
`key which is programmed but which cannot be accessed except through use of`
`the Multi-Macro key.`

`The primary purpose of the Multi-Macro key is two-fold.First of all, it`
`allows you to have many more macros than could be programmed on a normal`
`keyboard.In other words, a single key can assume the function of hundreds`
`of macros ... as long as the clerk knows the proper macro key numbers to`
`enter.`

`The other main reason a Multi-Macro key is used is to simulate password`
`access to certain Register functions.__For example, if you wanted to make`
`the 86 Item key only available to certain personel, it could be programmed`
`to be accessed through a Macro key which is not on the physical keymap.`
`Then access to the 86 Item key function would be limited to those people who`
`knew the special Macro key number ("password").`

`No additional key programming is required when defining a Multi-Macro key.`

`| Function Code 30| ACTIVITY COUNT KEY_______________|`
`|----------------------------------------------------------------------|`
`| Information Needed| Range| Default Value |`
`|---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------|`
`| None||_|`
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

Activity Count Key

`The Activity Count key is used to increment a counter.If a number is`
`entered first, that number is added to the count.The current value of the`
`activity count is displayed on the Register screen each time the Activity`
`Count key is used.`

`The activity count is kept separate for each Register on the system.And`
`the count will continue even if the Register is shut down and restarted.`
`The count is zeroed when you run the System "Z" Report.`

`No additional key programming is required when defining an Activity Count`
`key.`

`The Activity count is stored in the HOTINV.DAT file in the Grand Total`
`record for each Register.If it becomes necessary to edit the activity`
`count for any record, this may be accomplished by using the program`
`HOTENT.EXE which is included with the POSey package.`

`+-------------------+--------------------------------------------------+`
`| Function Code 32| PREVIOUS BALANCE KEY_____________|`
`|----------------------------------------------------------------------|`
`| Information Needed| Range| Default Value |`
`|---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------|`
`| None||_|`
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

Previous Balance Key

`The Previous Balance key is used to add a customer's previous balance to the`
`sale.This would be done where you wish to collect media for a past due`
`amount which is not part of the current sale.`

`The Previous Balance key would not be necessary for a business that rings`
`all sales on the Register and uses a house account to record amounts that`
`are charged.However, for businesses that may accept written IOU's from`
`their customers, the Previous Balance key allows them to add the customer's`
`outstanding balance to the sale for collection.`

`No additional key programming is required when defining a Previous Balance`
`key.`

`+-------------------+--------------------------------------------------+`
`| Function Code 38| PREVIOUS CREDIT KEY______________|`
`|----------------------------------------------------------------------|`
`| Information Needed| Range| Default Value |`
`|---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------|`

`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

Previous Credit Key

`The Previous Credit key is used to add a customer's previous credit to the`
`sale.This would be done where you wish to give credit for a previous`
`amount owed to the customer.`

`The Previous Credit key would not be necessary for a business that rings all`
`sales on the Register and uses a house account to record amounts that are`
`charged.However, for businesses that may issue written IOU's or Due`
`Bills to its customers, the Previous Credit key allows them to add`
`the customer's outstanding credit to the sale.`

`No additional key programming is required when defining a Previous Balance`
`key.`

`| Function Code 44| HOLD RECALL KEY__________________|`
`|----------------------------------------------------------------------|`
`| Information Needed| Range| Default Value |`
`|---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------|`
`| None||_|`
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

Hold/Recall Key

`The Hold-Recall key is designed for any application in fast-food situations,`
`or any other installation where numerous sales must be rung before they can`
`be cashed out.The most common use for the Hold/Recall key is for fast-food`
`restaurant drive-thru windows.`

`To use the Hold/Recall key, begin the sale as normal, but instead of`
`tendering the sale, press the Hold/Recall key.A window will appear in the`
`right top corner of the Register screen showing the total for this sale and`
`a sequence number.If previous sales have been put in the hold/recall`
`queue, the most recent sale will appear at the bottom of the list.The`
`hold/recall window represents a first-in, first-out queue.`

`When a customer is ready to pick up his order and pay the cashier, the`
`correct sale can be selected from the hold/recall window.By default, the`
`top sale is highlighted, so simply hitting the Hold/Recall key will recall`
`it.To select other entries in the hold/recall window, use the Scroll Up`
`key or Scroll Down key to highlight the correct entry, and then press the`
`Hold/Recall key.Or you can enter the sequence number, and then hit the`
`Hold/Recall key.`

`Once the order has been recalled to the screen, it may be edited by adding`
`or deleting items, if necessary.It may even be restored to the queue by`
`hitting the Hold/Recall key again.__When the sale is ready, tender it just`
`as you would a normal sale, and it will disappear from the hold/recall`
`queue.`

`When the last sale is tendered from the hold/recall queue, the hold/recall`
`window will disappear from the Register screen.`

`| Function Code 71| REQUEST ITEM KEY_________________|`
`|----------------------------------------------------------------------|`
`| Information Needed| Range| Default Value |`
`|---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------|`
`| None||_|`
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

Request Item Key

`The Request Item key is used in situations where the availability status of`
`a particular item needs to be requested before the item can be rung into the`
`sale.The key was added to the POSey Register in response to the need for`
`restaurants to request items from their wine cellar, but it may be`
`applicable for other uses as well.A barcode scanner must be used in`
`conjunction with the Request Item key, and the barcode reader must be`
`configured for Request operation.See the section, "Configuration & Setup,`
`Barcode Info" for more information.`

`To use Request Item, the item number is entered at the Register, and then`
`the Request Item key is struck.The item is shown in the Register receipt`
`window (without a price), and the item request is immediately printed on a`
`remote printer.The entry in the Register receipt window flashes to`
`indicate that the item must still be scanned before it is added to the sale.`

`If the item is not available, it can be voided from the Register receipt`
`window.However, if it is found, the barcode label from the item is scanned`
`and it is then added to the sale.If a barcode is scanned without the item`
`being requested, the Register will respond, "Must be Requested!".`

`When the barcode reader is configured to handle requested items, it may not`
`be used to scan normal items for sale.In applications where normal sales`
`are done by barcode scanning, and requested items are also used, the two`
`different operations will have to be performed on separate Registers.`

`|---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------|`
`| Pop-Up, Stay-Down, Transaction| P/S/T| T_|`
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

Remote Printer Override Key

`The Remote Printer Override key is used to manually change a remote printer`
`to a pre-configured alternate printer.This might be useful in situations`
`that require the same item to be sent to one of two different remote`
`printers, depending on some changing condition.`

`Before using the Remote Printer Override key, some additional setup must be`
`done.Using the Remote Printer Configuration program, each remote printer`
`which will be manually overridden must be setup to allow a manual override,`
`and the alternate remote printer number must be specified.See the section,`
`"Configuration & Setup, Remote Printer Configuration" for more information.`

`To manually override a remote printer from the Register, enter number of the`
`remote printer you wish to override, and then hit the Remote Printer`
`Override key.`

`When programming the Remote Printer Override key, you must specify the scope`
`of action for the key, as follows;`

`_Pop-Up: Only the next item rung on the Register will be affected by`
`______the printer override operation.`

`_Stay-Down: All items subsequently rung up will go to the override`
`__printer until the Remote Printer Override key is struck again, at`
`which time printing will resume on the original printer.`

`*_Transaction: All items in this transaction (since the check was last`
`serviced, if rung into a guest check) will go to the override`
`printer.`

`|---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------|`
`| Destination Number| 0 to 5_| 0_|`
`| Stay-down or Transaction| S/T| T___|`
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

Destination Key

`The Destination Key is used to specify the destination or purpose for the`
`sale.It is designed primarily for restaurant use.When the destination is`
`selected by hitting the key, a notation will be shown on the Register`
`screen, on the receipt, and on the kitchen ticket.The color of the guest`
`check totals window will be changed when using guest checks.`

`Sales totals for each destination type may be reported on the System Report,`
`providing the SYSREPORT.DESTREPORT=TRUE option is included in the POSEY.CFG`
`file.Also, if the REGISTER.HOURLY=TRUE option is included in the POSEY.CFG`
`file, the Hourly Sales Report will show hourly sales by destination.`

`Use of the Destination key is mandatory for operation of the POSey Delivery`
`system.Specifying the guest check destination as "DELIVERY" causes`
`the customer's delivery instructions to be printed on the receipt printer.`

`Six different destination descriptions are available;`

`0_Eat In (the default destination if no destination is specified)`
`__1_Take Out`
`__2_Drive-Thru`
`__3_Delivery`
`__4_Catering`
`__5_Phone Order`

`Currently, there is no difference between programming the Destination key`
`as Stay-Down or Transaction mode.`

`| Information Needed| Range| Default Value |`
`|---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------|`
`| Verification Required_| Y/N| Y_|`
`+---------------------------------+--------------------+---------------+`

Reorder Key

`The Reorder key provides a method for marking items for reorder while`
`ringing up items with the Cash Register.For example, in a hardware store,`
`where the last of a particular item is purchased, it can be marked for`
`reorder when it is rung up.A report of the items to reorder can then be`
`printed from the Register Report Menu.`

`To mark an item for reorder, first ring up the item.Then hit the Reorder`
`key.If the key has been programmed to require verification, then the`
`inventory inquiry screen is shown for the item, and you are given the choice`
`to go ahead an reorder the item, or abort the operation.`

`If the key is not programmed to require verification, the item is simply`
`marked for reorder without further ado.`

`Note that the items marked for reorder are not affected in the way they sell`
`at the register, and are not marked as out of stock.To flag an item as out`
`of stock, and unavailable for sale, you should either use the POSEY.CFG`
`option, "REGISTER.STOPINVATZERO=TRUE" which will prevent sales of items`
`with non-positive inventory levels, or you should use the 86 Item key, which`
`unconditionally prevents items from being rung into the sale.`

`The reorder flag which is set by the Reorder key is only used by the`
`Inventory Reorder Report available from the Register Report Menu.The`
`reorder flag is not used by the Automatic Purchase Order Generation program`
`which is part of the purchase order system.__That program depends entirely`
`on the calculated inventory levels and the order points of the inventory`
`items.`

Key Not Programmed

`Occasionally, it may be necessary or advantageous to program a key as simply`
`"not programmed".For instance, on a standard point-of-sale keyboard, if`
`not all the keys are used, they should be programmed as Key Not Programmed`
`keys.And on a touch-screen system, if you want to place keys on the`
`touch-screen menu level, but have not assigned a function to them yet, they`
`should be Key Not Programmed keys.`

`When a Key Not Programmed key is hit, the Register displays the message,`
`"Key Not Programmed".`
