ER-A Model Mode Switch, Keys and Job Codes Overview
Mode Switch, Keys and Job Codes Overview
The Sharp ER-A model programming consists of SRV (Service Mode) and/or PGM / PGM2 (Program Mode) job codes.
Access to the modes is controlled by the mode switch and mode keys.
Job codes tell the ECR (Electronic Cash Register) what programming function to perform. Each job code has bits that enable, disable, or define the settings for the respective job code.
The available Mode Switch, supplied Mode Keys and Job Codes vary by model.
Mode Switch and Keys
The key can only be inserted or removed when the switch is in the “REG” or “OFF” position.
The following diagram illustrates the various modes and operative range of the keys supplied with the
ECR. SRV and SRV’ modes are reserved for Authorized Sharp Dealers and Servicers and is only accessible using a key labeled SRV. This key is not supplied with the ECR and must be ordered via the National Parts
Center (NPC). See your Sharp POS Support Directory for contact information.
The Mode Switch and supplied Mode Keys vary by model.
• REG MODE: This mode allows you to enter sales.
• OPXZ MODE: This mode allows servers to take X or Z reports of their sales information and can also be used for employee functions.
• OFF MODE: This mode locks all operations of the POS terminal. When you select this mode, the window will disappear. Touching any key turns the POS terminal ON.
• PGM1 Mode: This mode allows you to program those items that need to be changed often such as
PLUs (plus, prices, dept association), %, Servers/Cashiers.
• PGM / PGM2 Mode: This mode allows you to program those items that do not require frequent changes such as date, time, departments, items, tax, servers/cashiers, terminal functions etc.

ER-A Model Mode Switch, Keys and Job Codes Overview
Important!
As the above chart demonstrates although the availability of a programming option may vary between the ER-A models, with the exception of the ER-A242, the SRV and PGM2 Jobs codes are consistent throughout the ER-A product line.
Example:
1. SRV Mode job code 950 is used for free key programming on all ER-A models where free key assignment is available.
2. With the exception of the ER-A242, PGM2 Mode job code 1200 is used to associate a PLU to a department on all ER-A models.
NOTE:
1. SRV Mode programming is not available on the ER-A242.
2. The ER-A242 uses a single digit job code or keystroke sequence/procedure for PGM Mode.

3. FILE ALLOCATION
– 975 or 970 Job Codes
4. FREE KEY ASSIGNMENT
– 950 & 951 Job Codes
5. SSP – 990 Job Codes
6. TRAINING
File Allocation is used to distribute the memory in a
Sharp ECR where the memory is allocable. This allows
‘Files’ to be different sizes depending on need and for better use of the available memory.
Free Key programming allows you to easily place function keys other than departments and PLUs onto a keyboard position based on your customer’s requirements
A “Patch” is a service function that allows the program in a ROM to be modified without replacing the chip. It is properly called a SSP. The first step in a patch is the number of the patch. Leading zeros are input as part of the patch step. Usually, when several patches are out for a unit, then a new version ROM will be made available. This new ROM will incorporate the previous patches issued.
When training a new employee, sales may be rung up without affecting sales totals when you place the
ECR into Training mode via signing on with the training cashier. Training operations are valid only in REG,
MGR, and VOID mode. The training cashier memory is updated in the training mode. Other memories are not updated.

ER-A Model SRV (Service) Mode – Free Key Overview
FREE KEY Overview
SRV Mode Free Key programming, also known as 950 programming, allows you to easily place function keys other than departments and PLUs onto a keyboard position based on your customer’s requirements.
Function Keys are keys that perform actions, such as cash, check, charge, void, RA/PO, and auto keys.
NOTE: For the ER-A320 and ER-A330, 950 programming is used to assign departments to the physical keyboard. Optional key top kits may be purchase to access the newly assigned departments. PLUs can
not be placed directly on the keyboard. The PLU/SUB function key is used to register PLUs.
SRV Mode Key Number Assignment programming, also known as 951 programming allows you to assign a key number to a fixed key position for departments, and direct PLU keys. Please see the chart below for availability.
NOTE: Normally, there is no need to change the 951 programming from the MRS default settings which are shown in the respective Sharp ER-A model Instruction Manual/Book.

ER-A Model SRV (Service) Mode – File Allocation Overview
FILE ALLOCATION Overview
SRV Mode File Allocation, also known as memory file allocation and 970 programming, is used to distribute the memory in a Sharp ECR where the memory is allocable. This allows ‘Files’ to be different sizes depending on need and for better use of the available memory.
The concept of file allocation is similar to partitioning a hard disk drive. Instead of disk space, you are working with areas of memory. File allocation allows for dividing and dedicating memory space for the files to store its data.
Available memory maybe expanded with the addition of an optional memory expansion chip or board.

ER-A440, 450T, 520 & 530 File Allocation Overview
File allocation programming for the ER-A440, 450T, 520 and 530 uses File Groups to reserve areas of memory for data storage.
During file allocation, file groups work much like a batch file or command file does in an operating system or software program. A single File Group may reserve areas of memory for a single file table or
multiple dependent or related file tables.
Programming by “Group” allows certain portions of some files (such as text length for Departments and
PLUs) to be changed without affecting other programmed areas of the function.
Depending on the File Group Type, the file allocation requirements will vary.

ER-A Model SRV (Service) Mode – File Allocation Overview
Please see the respective Sharp ER-A model Programming Manuals and Dealer Knowledge
Books for the File Group No, name, type, and table numbers.
File Allocation Terminology
The following terminology is used in File Allocation.
• Group No.: (Also known as File Group No.) (See above -File Allocation Overview) This is a reference number for the file group and is used in the actual File Allocation Programming.
Depending on the model, the Group No. is used and printed on the actual File Allocation Reading.
• File No. / Table No.: (Also known as File Table No.) This is a reference number for the individual files within a File Group. Depending on the model, the File Table No. is used and printed on the actual File Allocation Reading.
• File Name: Indicates the purpose of the particular file.
• # Records: This area refers to the amount, or number, of each function that memory can be allocated for. The actual meaning of each record depends upon the file. ( e.g.: With PLU or
Department Files, each PLU, or Department requires one record; with table files such as PLU Link or Condiment, each record equals one line of the table.)
“# Records” is usually divided into two columns on the table - DEFAULT (at MASTER RESET) and
MAXIMUM. If the Maximum number of records for the file is denoted by asterisks, it is limited only by the available memory in the machine.
• # Blocks: The “Blocks” referred to are individual memory areas set aside for transaction data for each Cashier, Clerk, or Server. Each block of memory has a fixed number of records in it. Each record corresponds to a particular piece of data that would be printed in a Cashier, Clerk, or
Server Report. Block counts other than “1” are used only for Cashier, Clerk, and Server Files.
• Label Size: This denotes the number of bytes in the header of the data. In the “ER-A” Series, the number of bytes in the label MUST be added to the number of bytes in the record length to get an accurate number of bytes each record requires.
• Record Length (Data Size): Shows the number of bytes required for the data in each record.
• Memory Size: Shows the total number of bytes required for the file at default. In some File
Allocation Tables, the total number of bytes is also shown for the file if it is opened to the maximum number of records.
3 OF 14
Page 54 of 108
ER-A Model SRV (Service) Mode – File Allocation Overview
File Group Types:
• Type 0: (Child) is modified automatically when the parent file group is changed. Create/Erase only. (e.g.: Department Text, PLU Price, or PLU Stock)
• Type 1: (Parent or Primary) requires a Number of Records Entry. Create/Erase and
Increase/Decrease the number of records. (e.g.: Dept., PLU, or Server/Cashier)
Operational buffers, such as the “Register Buffer”, are also considered to be Primary Files.
Primary Files also include those files opened for report data storage such as Term, Gross Margin,
Daily Net, Hourly, and Transaction. These reports can not be run if the corresponding files are not allocated.
• Type 2: Requires an Entry of Indexes and Records. Create/Erase and Increase/Decrease the number of records for label and data individually. (e.g.: GLU/PBLU)
Calculating Memory Usage
Calculating the memory needed for specific applications is very important. This information is needed to know what RAM options are required. If given a set amount of RAM, it enables you to determine the maximum number of functions (such as PLUs, and UPCs) that can be installed.
The general formula for calculating the memory required for any particular file is (See Example ER-
A520/530 File Table No. Listing):
TN = (NR x NB) x (RL + LS)
Where:
TN = Total Number of bytes.
NR = Number of Records
NB = Number of Blocks
RL = Record Length (Data Size)
LS = Label Size
If the file that is being calculated is allocated is MRS, you should subtract the number of bytes the file uses at MRS from the value derived by the formula shown above. The result will be the amount of
ADDITIONAL RAM required, or if the file size is being decreased, the amount of RAM freed.
Reminders:
1. The number of bytes in the Label Size must be added to the Record Length in order to get the actual number of bytes required for each record.
2. If the number of records (or blocks) of a Type 1 (Parent or Primary) file group is changed, the files that follow the Type 1 (Parent or Primary) file group size will also be changed.

ER-A Model SRV (Service) Mode – File Allocation Overview
ER-A440, 450T, 520 & 530 File Allocation Programming
For the ER-A440, 450T, 520, and 530 models, the following key operation is used to program file allocation:
From SRV Mode:
971 .
@/FOR XX @/FOR YYYYY
(Type 0,1)
CA/AT
XX = File Group No.
YYYYY = Desired number of Records/Blocks (items)
ZZZZZZ =Total Lines of stored data
@/FOR ZZZZZ
(Type 2)
MRS = See the Example ER-A520/530 File Table No. Listing below:
NOTES: (1) The maximum number for “YYYYY” cannot be exceeded.
(2) ***** The maximum number is based on the total amount of available memory.
“Sister” File Groups
*Important: You must delete the “sister” file group in order to allocate file groups that are flagged with an asterisk (See Example ER-A520/530 File Group Listing). (e.g.: PLU/UPC Price 1 and PLU/UPC
Price 1-6 or PLU/UPC Text 1 (8 Char) and PLU/UPC Text 1 (16 Char) are considered “sister” file groups.
You can only allocate one or the other not both.)
E.g.: The ER-A520/ER-A530 at MRS is allocated for PLU/UPC Price 1. In order to change the memory allocation to allow for PLU/UPC Price 1-6, two things need to be considered:
1. The File Group #5 (PLU/UPC Price 1) must be deleted prior to allocating the File Group #6
(PLU/UPC Price 1-6).
2. The PLU/UPC Price 1-6 will require more memory than PLU/UPC Price 1. Optional memory may be required.
To Delete a File Group
If you wish to free up available memory space by deleting a file group that is not required (e.g. Link
PLU, Set PLU, Dynamic UPC etc.), perform the following procedure:
From SRV Mode:

ER-A Model SRV (Service) Mode – File Allocation Overview
Increasing and Reducing the No. of Records
It is always safe to increase the size of a particular File Group if memory is available to accommodate the increase.
When reducing the size of a particular File Group, do not reduce the No. of Records below the
No. of Used Records to prevent data loss.
E.g. Using the Example ER-A520/530 970 File Reading below:
In this example using the MRS defaults, PLU/UPC Group No. 4 must not be reduced below 20. If reduced below 20, any data associated with those records is lost.
Group Number or
File Table No.
(Depends on Model*)
Description No. of Records No. of Used Records
4 PLU/UPC 20
* ER-A520/520 970 Reading Prints according to Group No.
NOTE: Reducing the number of Records can free up available memory space.
EXAMPLE:
At MRS, the ECR has 2000 records reserved for PLU/UPC (sales items). You determine that they will not require or use more than 500 records. You can safely reduce the No. of Records for the PLU/UPC File
Group to 500 to free up available memory for use by other File Groups without losing data in records 1-
500.

Summary:
The amount of memory available for allocation is the difference between the End Address and the Used
Address. By familiarizing yourself with the default End Address, you will be able to easily identify if any optional memory has or has not been installed.
Without prior knowledge of optional expansion memory chip or board installation, the only way to determine if optional memory has been added is to perform the optional memory diagnostic or to view the physical chip or board. For some models, viewing the physical chip or board may require disassembly of the ECR.

ER-A Model SRV (Service) Mode – File Allocation Overview
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROGRAMMING FILE ALLOCATION
1 Before you start any programming, it is recommended that you check the available memory.
2
Before you start programming memory allocation, you should consult with your customer to determine how much and what size file memory is necessary.
3 When allocating File Groups, it is important to note which individual file tables are affected.
4
When allocating File Groups, observe the contents printed on the Journal Printer. If there is a problem with the allocation such as no available memory, it will be indicated on the Journal Printer.
5
Upon completion of File programming and prior to returning to REG Mode or any other MODE, a
Program Reset is required/mandatory.
6
When making changes to multiple Files, complete all File programming and then perform a
Program Reset.

ER-A Models PGM/PGM1/PGM2 Mode Overview
PGM/PGM1/PGM2 Mode Overview - varies by model
The Sharp ER-A model programming consists of SRV (Service Mode) and/or PGM/PGM1/PGM2 (Program)
Mode job codes.
Job codes tell the ECR (Electronic Cash Register) which programming function to perform. Each job code has bits that enable, disable, or define the settings for the respective job code. The program settings may be printed on the Receipt / Journal printer.
PGM/PGM1/PGM2 Mode job codes allow the user to program settings such as the date, time, departments, items, tax, servers/cashiers, terminal functions, preset prices, etc.
It’s important to know how the ECR was Service Mode programmed before attempting PGM Mode
Programming, as many of the PGM job codes are affected (allowed or disallowed) by Service Mode programming entries.
PGM/PGM1/PGM2 Mode Availability by Model
Access to PGM/PGM1/PGM2 Mode is controlled by the mode switch and mode key.

ER-A Models PGM/PGM1/PGM2 Mode Overview
ER-A242 PGM Mode Programming
The ER-A242 uses a single digit job code or keystroke sequence for PGM Mode programming. Please refer to the ER-A242 Instruction Manual for programming procedures.
Example 1 - Date:
From PGM Mode:
Example 2 – Tax:
From PGM Mode:
NOTES:
1. The ER-A242 comes with PC friendly software for item upload, graphic logo design and periodic sales reports. PC connectivity and programming with the PC software enables fast and easy programming.
2. SRV Mode programming is not available on the ER-A242.

ER-A Models PGM/PGM1/PGM2 Mode Overview
ER-A320, 330, 410/420, 440, 450T & 520/530 PGM/PGM1/PGM2 Mode Programming
PGM/PGM1/PGM2 Mode programming for the ER-A320, 330, 410/420, 440, 450T & 520/530 use 4 digit job codes and/or “direct key entry”. Access to PGM/PGM1/PGM2 Mode is controlled by the mode switch and mode key.
REMINDER:
The ER-A320 and ER-A330 uses PGM Mode only. Therefore all PGM Programming regardless of the job code is done in PGM Mode.
The ER-A410/420, 440, 450T & 520/530 uses PGM1 Mode and PGM2 Mode.
With the exception of the ER-A320 and ER-A330, the first number of the job code designates the PGM mode to use (PGM1 or PGM2). The second number of the job code designates the general function being programmed.
EXAMPLE: Job code 2610 is used to program the Date.
2 = PGM2 Mode
6 = Miscellaneous Function
Other common designations for the second number of the PGM/PGM1/PGM2 job code:
0 - Dynamic UPC
1 - Departments
2 - PLU/UPC
3 - Function Keys – i.e. media settings, media descriptions, HALO, etc.
4 or 5 – Server/Cashier
6 - Miscellaneous Functions – i.e. date, time, register #, optional settings, stack report, devices etc.
7 - Tax
9 - Training Mode and Auto Keys ( NOTE: Auto keys are programmed in X2 / Z2 Mode)
Important!
As previously mentioned, although the availability of a programming option may vary between the ER-A models, with the exception of the ER-A242 the SRV and PGM2, Jobs codes are consistent throughout the ER-A product line. This holds true for PGM/PGM1/PGM2 Mode programming.
EXAMPLE: With the exception of the ER-A242, PGM/PGM1/PGM2 Mode job code 2610 is used for programming the date on all ER-A models.

ER-A Models PGM/PGM1/PGM2 Mode Overview
ER-A410/420, 440, 450T & 520/530 PGM1/PGM2 Mode Programming
The ER-A410/420, 440, 450T & 520/530 generally consists of two types of programming that are managed by the mode key.
1. PGM2-Mode Programming: PGM Jobs that are 2xxx
2. PGM1-Mode Programming: PGM Jobs that are 1xxx
NOTE:
1. PGM1 Job Codes (1xxx) may be performed in PGM1 or PGM2 Mode.
2. PGM2 Jobs Codes (2xxx) may only be performed in PGM2 Mode.
PGM2-Mode programming is primarily used when installing the ECR, and for maintaining select presets intended for Managers/ Owners only.
The PGM1-Mode Programming is intended for settings that change frequently.

This is the program for a particular customer
Auto keys are used to automate or assign operations or functions to a single key. Auto keys allow for programming of several keys to a single key. For example, a $20.00 speed tender, a Z Report or Tax
Delete operation.
Buy One Get One promotion.
This amount is the “amount” of cash that should be in the drawer. It reflects paid outs, refunds, etc.
This is an account record, such as a hotel / motel function or layaway which shows the current balance of an account. It reflects the charges and payments received to the account.
This refers to a “Mandatory” function or procedure. E.g. “Compulsory drawer operation” means that the drawer has to be “Closed” for the machine to operate.
The “condiment entry” is intended to guide the operator in making menu entries that require special instructions. E.g. chicken nuggets may be linked to a condiment table that will prompt for a choice of toppings (ranch, bleu cheese, honey mustard, none).
This is a section of memory where the sales of items are stored. This total is updated on the fly. To see the amount of sales, an “X” (Read) or a “Z” (Zero out) report has to be taken. This category is named by the customer in PGM programming. E.g. “MEAT”, “PRODUCE”,
“BEER”, “CIGARETTES”.
This is a section of memory where the departments are grouped and stored for reporting purposes. This total is updated on the fly. To see the amount of sales, an “X” (Read) or a “Z” (Zero out) report has to be taken.
File Allocation Table: This is how we distribute the memory in a Sharp register where the memory is allocable. This allows “Files” to be different sizes depending on need. This allows better use of the memory available.
Guest Look Up: This differs from a previous balance look up in that the
GLU file holds an itemization of all registrations on the balance, while
PBLU retains only the amount owed at the time of service.
Inline or Inter-Register Communication: IRC is essentially a Local Area
Network (LAN) consisting of Point Of Sale terminals, remote printers, a hub or switch, and possibly a personal computer. An IRC system allows the manager to exercise centralized control over the satellite terminals through the master terminal. It is used to consolidate totals from one or more registers, to download programming, and sending information to a remote printer.
This is a service reset.

This is the controlling unit in an IRC system. The master will have generally the most memory of the units in the system. It is used for real-time transmission, to consolidate totals from one or more registers, to download programming, sending information to a remote printer, and consolidation of sales data for further processing. For example, a back office application.
This operation will reset all the totals in the machine. There are three
(3) types of master resets.
MRS-1 (Master Reset-1): Clears the entire available memory and restores the initial factory default values for the keyboard and PGM-mode programming.
MRS-2 (Master Reset-2): Clears the entire available memory, allows free assignment of the ten-key pad, eliminates the
Direct Department and PLU assignments, and restores the initial factory default values for all other PGM-Mode programming.
MRS-3 (Master Reset-3): Clears the entire available memory, allows the input of the product serial number and the assignment of the ten-keypad, eliminates the Direct
Department and PLU assignments, and restores the initial factory default values for all other PGM-Mode programming.
This is the control lock of the register. Determines the “Mode” of operation of the register.
A device or function that can be added to a register. It is usually not found on the unit out of the box.
A “Patch” is a service function that allows the program in a ROM to be modified without replacing the chip. It is properly called a SSP. The first step in a patch is the number of the patch. Leading zeros are input as part of the patch step. Usually, when several patches are out for a unit, then a new version ROM will be made available. This new
ROM will incorporate the previous patches issued.
Previous Balance Look Up: This is a guest check system. The guest check will show the current balance of items ordered, until the check is
“serviced”. It may or may not include tax and a gratuity.
Price Look Up: a PLU is a section of memory where an item is assigned a number, a name, and a preset price. The machine will locate this item by number and add the amount to the sale. The price does not have to be input through the keyboard during a sale.
This is a section of memory where the PLUs are grouped and stored for reporting purposed. This total is updated on the fly. To see the amount of sales, an “X” (Read) or a “Z” (Zero out) report has to be taken.
A Link PLU is used when more than one and up to five items is registered with one key depression. Each unit price is accumulative for those PLU items associated to the link type operation and are printed with the individual unit prices. For example, Bottle Deposits, specials or messages.

A PLU Menu key is used to group similar items together under one key for sales registration.
A printout on the receipt printer of various PGM1, PGM2 or SRV program reading. For example, a department program reading.
This is a procedure used to re-initialize the program with out destroying any of the programming.
• A program reset unlocks the POS terminal when an operation lock up occurred.
• A program reset DOES NOT clear the program, sales totals or
GTs.
• A program reset is mandatory after installing an RS232 peripheral device, an SSP, changing a System Preset Job Code or Memory
Allocation File Group.
• A program reset must NOT be performed in an IRC configuration, unless a CLOSE STORE in PGM2 Mode is executed.
Universal Product Code: This is the bar code you see on packages used to identify the product. This code can be programmed into the registers memory with a name and price. When this code is entered into the machine through the keyboard, or by a scanner, the price will be added to the sale.
Random Access Memory: This is the memory where the general programming is stored. This information changes frequently.
This refers to a “Master reset” operation.
This refers to a starting and ending point for a report. This is used in
Department, PLU, and UPC reports to read a section of the information without taking a full report.
Refers to a drawer not mounted to the register itself.
This is the chip where the basic machine structure is stored. This is not changeable.
Refers to a “Remote Printer”. Can be used on an IRC system or can refer to a RS-232C printer
This is an industry standard for serial communication between a host and a peripheral unit. It usually utilizes a D-Sub 9-pin connector,
Modular Jack RJ45 8-pin connector or USB connector and in Sharp systems depending on the number of RS-232 peripherals an optional
RS-232 board may be required.
This is a POS that has no control over IRC functionality. It only participates in an IRC system. It usually has the minimum memory to function as needed. The reporting, consolidation and preset data downloading will be done at the master.

This is a function that has a programmable limit as to the maximum amount of money to be kept in the drawer. When this amount is reached, an indicator will light in the display. This signals the operator or manager to make a “Paid Out” or “Drop” to decrease the amount of
“CASH” in the drawer.
This is a program reset.
Single Item Cash Sale: This is a function that allows a single key operation to ring in an amount to a department, add the tax if applicable, and open the drawer.
Single Item finalize: This is a function that allows one key, no matter when it is depressed in a transaction, to total out (FINALIZE) the sale.
This refers to a “Slip printer”. This is the printer used to print the information on the guest check, or “Slip.”
Sharp Retail Network: Basically the same as IRC. The two terms are interchangeable.
This unit will have the files needed to function independently. There is no IRC functionality.
The Stack Report printing function allows for multiple X/Z reports to be printed in sequence by a single request.
A sub-department is a PLU, without a preset price. If you enter a price, that price becomes the highest amount that can be entered,
(HALO). The sub- department price will be entered through the keyboard during the sale.
This is the weight of an empty container or item that will be used to hold goods that are being weighed to determine cost.
This rate is applied to whole dollar amounts.
This is a part of the memory programming used to calculate state and local taxes that apply to the sale of items. This is done by entering in the “Breakpoints” of the table established by the state, county, and / or city.
Some of the registers made by Sharp have the option in programming to have “Term” totals. This is a summary of the daily “Z” reports. They can be cleared at the end of the week (WEEKLY) or at the end of the month (MONTHLY).

Credit Card
Term Definition
Credit Card Authorization (CAT)
Also known as EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) and EPAY (Electronic
Payment), Credit Card Authorization (CAT) involves processing and authorization of Credit Card, Debit Card, Check (w/o MICR), Gift Card and EBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer) transactions. Available processing and authorizations vary by ECR/POS model and Merchant
Service Provider.
Network Programming
Involves the Merchant Service Provider/Payment Processor set up information stored within the CAT, EFT or EPAY device.
Initialization
Batch Execution
Reports
Used to synchronize/initialize the CAT, EFT or EPAY device upon installation, after setting changes at the ECR/POS system and for unexplained occurrences when the CAT, EFT, or EPAY device ceases to function normally.
Depending on the type of network used for CAT, EFT or EPAY authorization (Host or Terminal Based), there are four (4) batch commands supported:
(1) Open Batch is required to process CAT, EFT or EPAY transactions and should be a part of open store procedures.
(2) Close Batch is used to settle the credit card transactions at the end of day.
(3) Clear Batch is used to erase all current batch transactions when batch settlement can not be achieved.
(4) Change Batch No. is used to change the existing batch number when replacement (loaner) units are installed and/ or when there is a conflict at the processor and network advises you to change the batch number.
Depending on the type of network used for CAT, EFT or EPAY authorization (Host or Terminal Based), there are four (4) different reports supported:
(1) Local Summary report is used to indicate the summary information pertaining to each applicable transaction processed.
(2) Local Inquiry report retrieves each record from CAT, EFT or
EPAY device in detail (ex: Date, time, etc.).
(3) Local Total report summarizes the CAT, EFT or EPAY device’s totalizers by the type of credit card.
(4) Batch Status report is used to determine the batch (Open or
Close) status at that specific time the report is initiated.
