ATTENTION

The product that you have purchased may contain a battery that may be recyclable. At the end of its useful life, under various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of the battery into the municipal waste system.

Check with your local solid waste officials for details concerning recycling options or proper disposal

Precaution Statements

Follow these safety, servicing and ESD precautions to prevent damage and to protect against potential hazards such as electrical shock.

1-1 Safety Precautions

1. Be sure that all built-in protective devices are replaced. Restore any missing protective shields.

2. When reinstalling the chassis and its assemblies, be sure to restore all protective devices, including nonmetallic control knobs and compartment covers.

3. Make sure there are no cabinet openings through which people - particularly children - might insert fingers and contact dangerous voltages.

Such openings include excessively wide cabinet ventilation slots and improperly fitted covers and drawers.

4. Design Alteration Warning:

Never alter or add to the mechanical or electrical design of the SECR. Unauthorized alterations might create a safety hazard. Also, any design changes or additions will void the manufacturer’s warranty.

5. Components, parts and wiring that appear to have overheated or that are otherwise damaged should be replaced with parts that meet the original specifications. Always determine the cause of damage or over- heating, and correct any potential hazards.

CAUTION

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.

Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.

Dispose used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

6. Observe the original lead dress, especially near the following areas: sharp edges, and especially the AC and high voltage supplies. Always inspect for pinched, out-of-place, or frayed wiring. Do not change the spacing between comp-onents and the printed circuit board. Check the AC power cord for damage. Make sure that leads and components do not touch thermally hot parts.

7. Product Safety Notice:

Some electrical and mechanical parts have special safety-related characteristics that might not be obvious from visual inspection. These safety features and the protection they give might be lost if the replacement component differs from the original - even if the replacement is rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc.

Components that are critical for safety are indicated in the circuit diagram by shading, ( ) or ( ). Use replacement components that have the same ratings, especially for flame resistance and dielectric strength specifications. A replacement part that does not have the same safety characteristics as the original might create shock, fire or other hazards.

ATTENTION ll y a danger d’explosion s’il y a remplacement incorrect de la batterie.

Remplacer uniquement avec une batterie du même type ou d’un type équivalent recommandé par le constructeur.

Mettre au rebut les batteries usagées conformément aux instructions du fabricant.

1-2 Servicing Precautions

WARNING: First read the-Safety Precautions-section of this manual. If some unforeseen circumstance creates a conflict between the servicing and safety precautions, always follow the safety precautions.

WARNING: An electrolytic capacitor installed with the wrong polarity might explode.

1. Servicing precautions are printed on the cabinet.

Follow them.

2. Always unplug the units AC power cord from the

AC power source before attempting to:

(a) Remove or reinstall any component or assembly

(b) Disconnect an electrical plug or connector

3. Some components are raised above the printed circuit board for safety. An insulation tube or tape is sometimes used. The internal wiring is sometimes clamped to prevent contact with thermally hot components. Reinstall all such elements to their original position.

4. After servicing, always check that the screws, components and wiring have been correctly reinstalled. Make sure that the portion around the serviced part has not been damaged.

5. Check the insulation between the blades of the AC plug and accessible conductive parts (examples

: metal panels and input terminals).

6. Insulation Checking Procedure:

Disconnect the power cord from the AC source and turn the power switch ON. Connect an insulation resistance meter (500V) to the blades of AC plug.

The insulation resistance between each blade of the

AC plug and accessible conductive parts (see above) should be greater than 1 megohm.

7. Never defeat any of the B+ voltage interlocks.

Do not apply AC power to the unit (or any of its assemblies) unless all solid-state heat sinks are correctly installed.

8. Always connect an instrument’s ground lead to the instrument chassis ground before connecting the positive lead ; always remove the instrument’s ground lead last.

1-3 Precautions for Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESDs)

1. Some semiconductor (solid state) devices are easily damaged by static electricity. Such components are called Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESDs); examples include integrated circuits and some fieldeffect transistors. The following techniques will reduce the occurrence of component damage caused by static electricity.

2. Immediately before handling any semiconductor components or assemblies, drain the electrostatic charge from your body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, wear a discharging wriststrap device. (Be sure to remove it prior to applying power - this is an electric shock precaution.)

3. After removing an ESD-equipped assembly, place it on a conductive surface such as aluminum foil to prevent accumulation of electrostatic charge.

4. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical charges that damage ESDs.

5. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron when soldering or unsoldering ESDs.

6. Use only an anti-static solder removal device.

Many solder removal devices are not rated as antistatic; these can accumulate sufficient electrical charge to damage ESDs.

7. Do not remove a replacement ESD from its protective package until you are ready to install it.

Most replacement ESDs are packaged with leads that are electrically shorted together by conductive foam, aluminum foil or other conductive materials.

8. Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a replacement ESD, touch the protective material to the chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will be installed.

9. Minimize body motions when handling unpackaged replacement ESDs. Motions such as brushing clothes together, or lifting a foot from a carpeted floor can generate enough static electricity to damage an ESD.

Introduction

SAM4s SPS-500 Series Overview

Power Requirements

Plug the SPS-500 into a grounded 3-prong outlet.

 Be aware that other electrical devices on the same circuit can cause your ECR to malfunction. Avoid plugging your ECR into outlets where other high-current devices are connected.

 Be aware that power quality issues, including voltage fluctuations, electrical noise, spikes, outages, interruptions, and other power viruses can disrupt or damage modern electronic equipment, including

ECRs and PCs.

 When ECRs are interconnected in networks, connected to PCs or where communications cables connect peripherals, particular care must be taken with power sources and communication cable routing. Your authorized dealer can provide detailed power specifications for these applications.

Failure to implement installation requirements for networked systems may cause system failures and/or poor system performance.

 The SAM4s SPS-500 is a modern computerized network device. As with all network systems, it requires appropriate electrical power wiring and proper routing of communication cabling for reliable operation and maximizing the life of the equipment.

 When installed in a merchant location, CRS recommends a PowerVar ABC065-11 power conditioner,

CRS P/N 701002. An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is recommended where frequent power disruptions occur. Without a UPS, the SPS-500 will shut down and reboot when power is disrupted.

(The SPS-500 reboots in less than one minute.)

CRS also recommends:

1. Dedicated branch circuits for SPS-500 equipment.

2. Isolated Grounding for all equipment within the SPS-500 system.

Please refer to the SPS-500 Installation Guide for detailed power requirements.

SPS-500 Program Manual v1.32 Introduction  9

Safe Operation

 Do not locate your SAM4s SPS-500 in a damp or wet environment. Avoid high humidity, direct sunlight and temperature extremes.

 Always plug your SPS-500 into a grounded three-prong outlet. Never use two-prong adaptors or ungrounded outlets.

 Check to make sure the power outlet provides the correct voltage: (120V +/- 10%).

 Immediately disconnect the ECR from the power source in case of spilled liquid in the ECR, smoke, or strange smells. Call your authorized dealer for assistance.

 Do not operate the ECR with wet hands.

 Use a soft dry cloth to clean the ECR cabinet. Do not use wet cloths or solvents.

 Do not open the ECR case to attempt repairs. Dangerous voltages can cause shock. Service attempts by untrained personnel can cause unnecessary damage to your ECR.

Important Battery Backup Note

Before using the SAM4s SPS-500 for the first time, leave it powered on in the REG key lock position for at least twenty-four hours. This allows the Ni-MH battery, which maintains the memory of the ECR while the power is off, to charge completely.

Software

The built-in SPS-500 POS application has considerable flexibility and can be configured for both retail sales and food sales in quick and table service environments.

The SPS-500 application program allows the reseller to configure the terminal to perform in a specific setting.

After consulting with the merchant, the reseller uses S Mode (secure) programs set to memory allocation, system configurations, key functions and locations, port assignments, passwords and other system settings.

Then the P Mode (program) is used to complete the end user program for the merchant with, price look-up

(PLU) programs, messages, employees, taxes, and other system options.

Keylinks

The main screen provides up to 24 programmable locations. In addition to the main screen you can define

199 additional 24-location screens referred to as “Keylinks”. (Note that the default program pre-defines the first 10 keylinks for PLU lists and various function lists.)

In the example depicted below, the PLU List keys and the Payment key open new Keylink Screens.

More about Keylinks

 Keylinks have multiple uses. Typically they will be used to display condiments, instructions or options for an item registered from the main keyboard. They may also be used to organize function keys such as discounts or type of payment keys.

 Keylinks can display any combination of PLU keys (menu items or condiments) or function keys such as % keys, media keys, etc.

 Keylinks can be opened (displayed) by touching a key on the main keyboard or by touching a key on another Keylink. Keylinks can also be opened automatically after the entry of a PLU item (see PLU

Programming).

 Keylinks can be programmed to remain open for unlimited entries, with the DONE key used to close the Keylink screen, or can be programmed to close automatically after a set number of entries are completed.

SPS-500 Program Manual v1.32 Introduction  21

Custom Screen Layouts

After your authorized dealer prepares your SPS-500 for installation, your main screen and keylink screens will look different. Each screen will contain the variety of item and function keys that you require. Your screens will be designed using the following capabilities:

The default Main Screen and each

Keylink screen provide 24 single size key locations in a 4 x 6 matrix.

Note: Four screen configuration options are available: providing 24, 12,

6 or 0 key locations on the display.

Large, wide and vertical keys may be used and unused locations may be eliminated.

Keys colors can be chosen from an

18-color palate.

Images may be used instead of text for key identification.

Keys may be set to open new screens (keylinks). In this example, the beverage key

(above) is set to open a new screen offering 4-different beverage sizes.

The transaction area and the key area of the screen can be flipped so that the transaction detail displays on the left of the screen.

Software Installation & SD

Utilities

Overview

The latest software revisions will be posted on the SPS-500 dealer support page of the CRS website: www.crs-usa.com

. Software will be revised continually as anomalies are identified, repaired, and as new features and peripherals are supported.

 Always verify that the latest software is installed prior to preparing equipment for installation. CRS recommends the latest released software version for new installations.

NOTE: Software pre-installed on new equipment may not be the latest version.

 Monitor the CRS dealer page and your email for bulletins and software update information.

 Verify that the same software version is installed on all terminals in a multi-terminal installation.

Important: Updating Existing Installations

If you are performing an update on an existing installation, remember that you must perform a memory all clear after installing updated software. Before updating an existing installation:

1. Save memory allocation, programs and reports (S/SRAMBACKUP).

2. Perform updates as necessary.

3. Clear all memory (use instructions in the previous chapter found on page 23.)

4. Restore previously saved memory allocation, programs and reports (S/SRAMBACKUP). (Note: occasional format changes may prevent reloading of certain programs and/or reports.)

Update Methods

Operating system and application files can be updated directly by SD card. Updates instructions for update by SD are documented in this chapter.

SPS-500 Program Manual v1.32 Software Installation & SD Utilities  25

Required Support Resources

 A PC with a SD Memory Card reader or a USB memory stick. The SD/USB memory provides the most convenient method of updating the SPS-500 application software and also can be used for program loading/saving, capturing SPS-500 screens for documentation purposes and transferring bitmap images to the SPS-500. (CRS supplies SD cards/readers: P/N 520004 - SanDisk SD 512mb card; P/N 520002 - SanDisk Mobilemate SD+ 5-N-1 card reader/writer, P/N 520005 USB 2gb, P/N

Application Upgrade/Backup from SD/USB

A Note About Software Upgrades…

Most software updates will be application upgrades and will be done in S Mode from SD or USB. Use the following instructions to complete these upgrades. There may be rare occasions when operating system files are updated. Operating system updates are performed from the system menu. If an operating system update is needed, specific instructions will accompany the update files. Care must be taken so that operating system files are not inadvertently downgraded. Always clear all memory after any update.

This utility allows you to upgrade or back up the SPS-500 application program (a file in the sps500 folder named sps500) using either an SD card or USB memory stick. The application backup utility is very useful for field service staff when installing new registers to an existing system. Application programs MUST BE

THE SAME on all registers in a network.

NOTE: SD cards must be formatted as FAT 32. To avoid compatibility issues, CRS recommends that you purchase SD cards from CRS.

1. At your PC, create an “sps500” folder on SD/USB card. Copy the application image (sps500) to this folder.

2. Insert SD card or USB memory stick into the SPS-500.

3. From the S Mode main menu touch Self Test, and then touch APPLICATION UPDATE.

4. Select Application Update or Application Backup.

5. Select SD or USB.

30  Software Installation & SD Utilities SPS-500 Program Manual v1.32

Image Downloads

Key images can be added to function and PLU keys. Images can also be used for key screen backgrounds

(viewed in REG mode where key locations are inactive.) Images add style and usability to the SPS-500 touch screen.

This procedure allows you to download images to the SPS-500 where they can be added to keys in the S

Mode Key Location program.

Tips for Getting Images Ready

 The maximum image size for 1 x 1 size keys is 102 x 78 pixels. (2 x 2 size keys can be up to 204 x

156 pixels; 1 x 2 size keys can be 102 x 156 pixels; 2 x 1 size keys can be 204 x 78 pixels.) You will need to use a graphic program such as Microsoft Paint to re-size larger images.

 Images in many common formats can be used: i.e. .gif, .tif, .jpeg, .bmp. (.wmf format images cannot be used.)

 The length of the image file name must be less than 12-characters.

 The image size for background images is 410 x 475 (this size will fill the entire panel). The background image file name(s) should be “flist_imgxxx.jpg”, where xxx means the keylink number,

001 through 200. The extension must be .jpg (with lower case). To display the background image, you must also set the DISPLAY BACKGROUND IMAGE option to YES. View this option by touching the PGM button from the KEY RELOCATION screen.

 A large selection of clip art can be accessed without charge from Microsoft Office Online at http://office.microsoft.com/clipart/default.aspx?lc=en-us .

 CRS is preparing a library of common key images for use on the SPS-500. Go to the SPS-500 product page of the dealer area of www.crs-usa.com

to access these images.

Screen Saver Logo

When the screen saver is engaged, the default SAM4s logo moves in a pattern across the screen (this is the

FLOATING Logo). This logo can be replaced with a custom logo. Name the custom logo “logo” and save it as file type ‘JPEG’. The maximum logo size is 759 (wide) X 399 (height); the logo.jpg works best if the image file size is under 100K in size.

Set SYSTEM OPTION/GENERAL FUNCTION OPTION #58 to ROTATING to allow up to fifty images to sequence on the screen. These JPEG images must be named “logo##” where ## is 01 through 50.

Follow these steps to implement a custom logo.

1. Make a “logo.jpg” file for a FLOATING logo or “logo##.jpg” files for ROTATING logos. NOTE:

File name must be lower case characters.

2. Make a folder on the SD card named \image. (This is the same folder that is used to contain key images.)

3. Copy the logo files to this directory.

4. Move the SD card to the SPS-500.

5. From the SPS-500 S Mode menu, choose Key Relocation, Screen Designer, PGM Tab, then Image, then Copy and confirm.

6. The new image(s) will replace the SAM4s logo as the screen saver.

Downloading Logo Images for the Internal Printer

You can load up to 14 receipt images into the SPS-500 memory through the SD card for printing on the internal receipt printer to be used as a Pre-Image or a Post-Image on the receipt. Images files should be named

‘logo_xx’ (where xx is 01-14) and saved as a monochrome BMP image for the file type.

After loading, use P/SYSTEM OPTONS/GENERAL PRINTING OPTIONS #34-37 to select the image number you wish to print on the top/bottom of receipts and/or guest checks.

Note

Images must be in sequential order, beginning with logo_01.bmp. For example, you cannot load logo_02.bmp without also loading logo_01.bmp at the same time. A “NOT FOUND” error will display if you attempt to load logos that are not in a complete, sequential series.

Image Tips

 Maximum image sizes are: o

SPS-530 = 576 X 240 pixels o

SPS-520 = 384 X 240 pixels

 Images must be black & white images and saved as a monochrome bitmap image.

To Load Images

1. Prepare images in the proper sizes and with the proper file names (i.e. logo_01, logo_02, etc.).

2. Save the images as a black & white monochrome bitmap image.

3. Copy images to the update/sps500 folder on the SD card. (SD:\update\sps500\)

4. Access the System Menu (see “How to Access System Menu” on page 25.)

Memory Allocation

CAUTION: The procedures described in this area are security sensitive. Memory is automatically cleared after memory allocation is set. Do not change memory allocation after your system has been installed unless you are aware that all programs, totals and counters will be cleared. Do not share this information with unauthorized users and provide the S Mode password only to those you may want to perform these functions.

The Memory allocation is requested when the machine is program reset and default memory allocation is declined. The information can be displayed at any time by selecting S mode option memory allocation.

► From the S mode MAIN MENU touch MEMORY ALLOCATION to display the S mode MEMORY

ALLOCATION Screen.

Options are organized under seven tabs. Maximums of memory allocation variables depend upon how each memory option is set. Available memory is monitored at the top of the screen. An error message displays immediately if you attempt to allocate features that require more memory than is available.

Memory Allocation – Definitions

The following entries define the file sizes for the ECR; once they have been entered they are fixed and cannot be changed without program resetting the machine. All ECRs within an IRC (inter register communications) system should have identical memory allocations.

(1) # OF PLU

This is the maximum number of PLUs (Price Look-Ups).

(2) # OF PLU STATUS GROUPS

This is the maximum number of Status Groups. These are used to program common system flags to a group of PLUs and are required by the system.

(3) # OF PRICE LEVEL PER PLU (1 - 5)

This is the number of price levels per PLU. Each product has the ability to use five prices selected from twenty price bands. If you wish to use price levels, you must determine the number of price levels here.

If Price levels are set, they are set for all PLUs.

(4) PLU REPORT BY PRICE LEVEL

If selected, the PLU report will detail sales at each level, rather than a total and counter for sales at all levels combined.

(5) # OF EMPLOYEES

Determine the total number of employees and set the maximum use wish to use here. Employees include all who use the register for any purpose, including those using only the time clock feature for clocking in/out.

(6) # OF TIME ENTRIES PER EMPLOYEE

SPS-500 Program Manual v1.32 S Mode Programming  41

(7) USE GROUP BY EMPLOYEE

Determine if you wish to report GROUPS by EMPLOYEE. If you choose Yes, then you can report up to

30 of the 99 groups for each employee. See "Groups By Employee" on page 130 to select which groups will report for each employee.

(8) CHECK TRACKING METHOD

Choose HARD or SOFT. Hard checks store only the check balances; soft check store check detail for the number of lines determined at step 12.

(9) # OF TRACKING FILES

The norm is to have one tracking file for check tracking memory. This however can be increased to four, each running independently, thus allowing separate tracking for multiple drive-thru lanes, phone-in orders, etc.

There is the additional option of providing a history for closed soft checks. Tracking file 2 will store closed checks for tracking file one and tracking file 4 will store 3. Normal tracking with not take place on files 3 and 4 when they are allocated to store history.

249 The Split Check function provides another method of breaking down checks for payment. Note that this method works best when check numbers are not automatically assigned. Many programmers/installers will use the table number as the check number, and in this situation the feature works quite well.

Place a “Split Check” key on the screen. Recall a check (table). Select the item you wish to place on a new check by touching the item on the display, then touching [Split Check]. Note that an asterisk (*) now displays next to the item. Continue to mark additional items to be assigned to a different check as necessary. Touch [Store Check]. The prompt will ask you to enter the number of the check you wish the designated items to be assigned to. Enter the check (table) number and touch OK. The original check with be stored automatically and the new check with the split items is open for storing or payment.

If you wish to use the split check feature in applications where checks are automatically assigned, you must first open and store a new check.

Make note of the check number. Then open the check from which you wish to split items from. Identify the items using the [Split Check] key as described above. Then when prompted to enter the number of the check where the selected items are to be assigned, enter the number of the new check you previously created.

250 Use to type a name or message that will be associated with a soft check.

Touch the ALPHA TEXT key anytime after a check has been opened, then type a message (up to 15 characters) using the alpha keyboard overlay and touch OK. Multiple message lines can be entered. The message is saved and printed/displayed with the order. A system option controls whether the message is printed on the guest check.

The standard recall check key allows a check to be opened if it does not already exist. This is excellent in hospitality tracking, however for account management credit may not so readily be given. Therefore when this button is programmed accounts are not opened automatically.

A warning will indicate an account does not exist if an attempt is made to open using the recall check key. The new check button is used to open new accounts. The programmability for this key is automatically picked up from the status of the Recall check key.

256 This allows the pre-programmed price of an item to be changed though the sequence: [PRICE CHANGE] [PLU] [PRICE] [PRICE CHANGE].

The PLU flag “ALLOW PRICE CHANGE” controls this function.

This is the name of the saleable item, which will appear on receipts and reports.

STOCK LINK PLU #

PLUs can be set to reduce stock levels set at another PLU. (System Option/General Function Option/#62 must be set to “Stock Link PLU”) Set the number of the PLU where stock is affected (by activity of this

PLU) here. This capability has applications where multiple PLUs affect a single inventory item, for example cup counts for beverage items and where items are counted without regard to brand, such as cigarette packs.

MODIFIER QTY

This works in conjunction with the stock link PLU flag determining how many units are to be reduced from the main stock item. The field consists of two decimal places for example 50 would result in 0.50 being reduced from the stock of the item program within the stock link PLU field.

GROUP LINK #1

This field is used to provide the first type of sales analysis by category i.e. Beer, Lagers. You can touch this field and select the group link from a list.

This is the programming for the status group link. Providing an en-masse program procedure for common system flags. You can touch this field and select the PLU Status Group link from a list.

PIECE COUNT

Enter a value in this field if you wish to use Product Mix and Product Projection reporting. The number of units entered here will be reflected in product mix reporting.

74  P Mode Programming SPS-500 Program Manual v1.32

PRODUCT MIX #1

This works in-conjunction with the piece count to track the unit and case usage of an item, each product can be programmed with the number of pieces used from an outer, i.e. the number of bottles from a case.

The piece count would control the number of bottles and the product mix group would control the description of the item and the number of units in case. In this field you would link the item to the product mix group.

RECEIPE#

This links to the ingredient inventory, so that when the product is sold, the quantities of each ingredient used are subtracted from stock for the allocated recipe and the appropriate sub recipes.

MIX & MATCH TABLE#

This is the promotion discount table, when the product or a mix of products, allocated to the same table are sold the appropriate discount information from the mix and match table will be subtracted.

PRINT NV IMAGE

Choose YES if you wish to print an image stored in the non-volatile area of the connected printer when the item is registered. The image, such as a coupon, will be printed at the bottom of the receipt. You must also select an image number in the PLU Status Group program to select a specific image from the many that may be resident in the printer NV memory.

INACTIVE

This prevents the product from being sold, without deleting therefore still retaining accumulated product sales data.

PRESET

This determines whether the product is a pre-set or open price.

ALLOW PRICE CHANGE

If yes, the PLU price can be changed in REG mode with the sequence: [PRICE CHANGE] [PLU]

[PRICE] [PRICE CHANGE].

ALLOW PRESET/HALO OVERRIDE

This allows the operator to either manually enter over a pre-set priced item or to override a maximum sale limit. This works per PLU, with each product having individual restriction. If global restriction is required change the setting in systems options

FUNCTION LIST KEY LINK

Enter the number of the Key Link screen you wish to display immediately after this item is registered.

PRICE/HALO 1 - 5

This is either the pre-set price of an item, or the maximum sale amount of an open product.

PRICE LEVEL 1 - 5

Entered here is the price level for each product. The default program provides one price level, however up to 5 different prices per product made by assigned by memory allocation, with up to twenty price levels available to be allocated. This allows the user to create a matrix of PLUs and Prices each accessed by one of the twenty price keys. When the price key is priced the product is then checked to determine if that price level (1-20) exists in any one of the five prices available. The standard is two prices per product set to price 1 and 2 this is generated as standard. A product price level sales report is available showing the total quantity and value sold per price and overall per product also a total for each price. This feature is not related to the five keyboard levels, they work independently

PLU options are determined by linking the individual PLU to a PLU Status Group. The PLU Status Group contains all of the detailed programming selections that might be assigned to an individual PLU. Separate

PLU Status Groups can be set up to accommodate the needs of groups of PLUs. Like PLUs, the total number of PLU Status Groups is determined by memory allocation.

1. From the P mode menu touch PLU to view the PLU program selection window.

2. Touch PLU STATUS GROUP to view the PLU STATUS GROUP PROGRAMMING screen.

3. Touch the PLU STATUS GROUP# button to or touch PREV. RECORD or NEXT RECORD to access a specific status group.

4. Touch a PAGE # tab to view additional options.

(2-3) GROUP LINK #2/GROUP LINK #3

If you wish to direct PLU sales to more than one group, enter the second or third reporting group for the

GROUPS and PLU BY GROUP reports here. Note the following related programs:

See “PLU” on page 72 to program the first reporting group for each PLU.

See “PLU Group” programming on page 93 to determine whether each individual group adds to the group total on the financial report.

SPS-500 Program Manual v1.32 P Mode Programming  77

(4) ARE PLUS IN THIS GROUP INACTIVE?

Select YES if you wish PLUs reported to this group to be inactive (cannot be registered).

(5) IS PLU A CONDIMENT?

Condiments PLUs are different from non-condiment PLUs in the manner they display and print during operations. Non-condiment PLUs are used for “main” items. Condiment items are indented and displayed/printed below a main item so that condiments or cooking instructions are easily understood for each “main” item.

(6) COMPULSORY CONDIMENT ENTRY?

If Yes, then a condiment entry must follow the registration of a PLU.

(7) IS PLU SINGLE ITEM?

The transaction is finalized automatically when a single item PLU is registers as the first item in a sale.

(8) IS PLU NEGATIVE?

Negative PLUs subtract from a sale, rather than add to a sale.

(9) IS PLU HASH?

HASH PLUs do not affect certain totals in reports. See General Function Option #7 to determine specifically which totals are impacted by HASH PLUs.

(10) DOES PLU USE GALLONAGE?

Gallonage PLUs must be set as open PLUs. The PRICE/HALO must be set as the price per gallon. (The price is set at three decimal places, however the PLU programming screen will always display in a two digit decimal format. For example if a PLU is gallonage, a price of $1.299 per gallon would be set as

"12.99".) Gallonage PLUs will report the gallons sold in the activity counter on the PLU report by dividing the PLU total by the price per gallon.

(11) IS PLU FOOD STAMP ELIGIBLE?

A separate itemizer keeps a running total of food stamp eligible items in each transaction. Then if the sale is paid by food stamps, the food stamp eligible subtotal can be recalled.

(12) IS PLU MEMO?

Use Memo PLUs to display a descriptor on the screen or print a descriptor at a printer. Memo PLUs do not add to any total in the SPS-500.

(13) IS PLU SCALEABLE?

Choose Yes if you wish to multiply items reporting to this group by a weight from a scale connected to the register. Pressing the SCALE key enters scale weights.

(14) AUTO SCALE ON THIS PLU?

If Yes, registrations of PLUs linked to this group will automatically multiply by the weight placed upon a scale connected to the register.

(15) AUTO TARE# (0-20)

If Yes, the tare # indicated here will automatically subtract from the weight from the scale. See “Function

Key Programming” for the SCALE key to preset tare weights.

78  P Mode Programming SPS-500 Program Manual v1.32

(16) STOCK PLU?

Choose Yes if you wish to track PLU stock, where each whole unit PLU activity subtracts a value of "1" from the stock counter. (Note that if multiplication or decimal multiplication is used when the PLU is registered, the resulting quantity of activity will subtract from the stock counter. Stock is maintained in increments to the second decimal position, i.e. “X.XX”.) See “PLU Stock” on page 81 for more information.

(17) LINK PLU#

If you wish the registration of the PLU assigned to this PLU status group to automatically cause the registration of another PLU, enter the number of the PLU you wish to register automatically here.

(18) NEGATIVE INVENTORY?

Use this option only if you are using the recipe and ingredient inventory system and you are using PLUs to designate subtractions from a menu item. For example, a PLU may be designated "No Cheese" by designating a PLU to print this instruction. By assigning the "No Cheese" PLU to a PLU Status Group with this setting at Yes the inventory records for cheese will be maintained correctly.

(19) ALLOW PROMO?

Choose Yes if you wish to allow the PROMO operation: i.e. buy two get one free. PROMO activity will remove the item cost from the sale, but the count will include the promo item.

(20) ALLOW WASTE?

If Yes, the WASTE function is allowed on PLUs reporting to this group.

(21) ALLOW DISCOUNT?

If Yes, the operation of an item discount after registration of a PLU reporting to this group is allowed.

(22) ALLOW SURCHARGE?

If Yes, the operation of an item surcharge after registration of a PLU reporting to this group is allowed.

(23) COMPULSORY VALIDATION

80  P Mode Programming SPS-500 Program Manual v1.32

(42) ELIGIBLE FOR CANADIAN DONUT LAW

Special Provincial or State sales tax laws might change the taxable status of an item depending upon the quantity sold. Donuts, for example, might be taxable when sold individually at a bakery, but be nontaxable when sold by the dozen.

In such a case select a numeric value for this field, and also select Yes to the appropriate tax status. The numeric value represents the quantity of donuts to apply, i.e. enter “1” for a single donut; enter “2” for a

2-pack of donuts. Also, set tax option #3 (see "Tax Option Definitions" on page 109) with the quantity at which you wish tax to be exempted, for example 12. Registration of PLUs reported to this status group will charge tax until the quantity with the transaction reaches 12. When 12 or more are registered, all will be sold without tax.

(43) AGE VERIFICATION (0-5)

Enter 1-5 to set the age category. The operator will be forced to enter a date of birth that indicates an age higher than the age of 83 to set the minimum age for each of up to 5 categories.

(44) IS PLU GIFT CARD

Default is NONE. Select ACTIVATE or ADD if PLUs linked to this group activate or add to an integrated payment gift card program.

(45) ADD CONDIMENT PRICE TO MAIN PLU

When this option is Yes, the price of the condiment is not displayed, instead it is added to the main item.

(46)HOLD AUTOMATICALLY

This flag allows PLUs to be placed on HOLD to the KP/KVS automatically.

PLU Stock

You can adjust inventory levels for PLUs with stock status. (The PLU must be linked to a PLU Status Group with option# 16 Stock PLU? set to YES.)

Non-PLU Code

The NON-PLU Code program must be set if you wish to scan UPCs (using the EAN 13 code) with embedded prices or weights.

Within the EAN 13 code, the first two digits (part a) are used as an identifier and the last digit (part c) is used as a check digit. The remaining 10 digits (part b) contain the product code and the price (or weight or quantity).

021234500250 c) Check digit a) Identifier b) Product code & price

There are 11 identifier numbers available for non-PLU code programming: “02” and “20” through “29”. The purpose of this program is to define the format of the 10-digit part b for each possible identifier. For example:

 The structure of Non PLU identifier “02” can be defined to use 5 digits for the product code and 5 digits for the price.

 The structure of Non PLU identifier “20” can be defined to use 6 digits for the product code and 4 digits for the price.

Reports

Use this program to create a custom report, modify the financial or employee report, or to define reports to be linked in up to four string reports. This report is available for standalone registers only, not IRC.

Custom Report

One custom report can be created, with up to 50 totals and counters. The report is built by selecting totals that also appear on either the financial or sales by time period reports. When the custom report is created, totals and counters separate from the original report are also created (in other words, you can clear the custom reports independently without affecting totals in any other report.)

Another feature of the custom report is the ability to add or subtract selected totals to create a new subtotal of selected information.

1. From the PGM mode PROGRAMMING MENU touch REPORT to view the REPORTS selection window.

2. Touch CUSTOM REPORT to view the CUSTOM REPORT PROGRAMMING screen.

Custom Report Program Notes

RPT#

Touch RPT # to select the report (financial or sales by time) where the total you wish to place on the custom report originates.

TTL#

Touch TTL# to select the specific total you wish to select from the report.

PAGE UP/PAGE DOWN

Touch PAGE UP or PAGE DOWN to access up to 50 different totals on the custom report.

132  P Mode Programming SPS-500 Program Manual v1.32

RED?

+/-

Touch NO or YES in the RED column to select red/black print (provided the printer is capable of 2-color print).

Touch the button in the +/- column to select NONADD, +(ADD), or –(SUB) status for the selected total.

Depending upon your selection the total will not affect, add to, or subtract from the total at the end of the custom report. When the subtotal TTL# code (i.e.'999') is entered on a later line, previous totals with a + or - designation are added and printed.

DESCRIPTOR

The default descriptor automatically displays when the TTL# is entered. If you wish, enter a new descriptor by replacing default descriptor. Touch the Descriptor key, type new information into the field, and then touch OK.

NOTES: Use the total #998 to create a dashed separator line on the report; use the total #999 to create a subtotal line. The subtotal line will calculate the totals designated "+" or "-" that appear sequentially after the previous subtotal line. Enter a custom descriptor for the subtotal line.

Financial Report/Employee Report

The Financial Report and the Employee Report can be modified so that specific totals are deleted from the report or printed in red (provided the printer is capable of 2-color print).

1. From the PGM mode PROGRAMMING MENU touch REPORT to view the REPORTS selection window.

2. Touch FINANCIAL REPORT or EMPLOYEE REPORT to modify the report.

3. For each total, you can select YES or NO in the PRINT and RED columns. Use the PAGE UP and/or PAGE DOWN keys to view all of the totals.

4. Touch CLOSE to exit the program.

String Report

Up to four string reports can be created that automatically generate a sequence of up to 24 different reports.

Typically, string reports are used to automate end-of-day or end-of-period reporting requirements. Reports selected in the string sequence can be X (read) or Z (reset) reports and can be from report level 1-5.

1. From the PGM mode PROGRAMMING MENU touch REPORT to view the REPORTS selection window.

2. Touch STRING REPORT to view the STRING REPORT #1 PROGRAMMING screen.

3. If you are programming a string report other than string report #1, touch STRING REPORT # and select another report number (2-4).

4. You can program a descriptor for the string report by touching DESCRIPTOR.

5. Select X or Z, the REP LVL (1-5) and the RPT# for each report you wish to include in the report sequence.

6. Touch CLOSE to exit the program.

Time

Time period definitions and time activated functions (Price Levels, Screen Level, Macros, String Reports,

Shifts, and KP Time Periods) are defined with this program.

Time Period

The Time report collects sales information depending upon the time of day. The number of time periods (24,

48, or 96) is selected in memory allocation. By default, time periods are hourly if 24 periods are selected, if

48 periods are selected, sales are accumulated in ½ hour periods, and if 96 periods are selected, sales are accumulated in 15 minute periods.

If hourly, ½ hourly or 15 minute report periods are satisfactory for your application, no action is necessary with this program. However, if you wish customize report periods (i.e. define five minute periods during rush periods or inactivate periods during closed times) you can individually define periods with this program.

All time units are based upon a 24-hour clock (military time).

1. From the PGM mode PROGRAMMING MENU touch TIME to view the TIME selection window.

2. Touch TIME PERIOD to view the TIME PERIOD PROGRAMMING screen.

3. For each period, you can adjust reporting times by touching the time and entering a new time. The number of periods available for programming will depend on your memory allocation selection.

4. Touch YES or NO to add or remove the period from the report

5. Touch CLOSE to exit the program.

Time Activated Functions

Time activated options include:

 Price levels and Screen Levels (the default screen key link) can be automatically activated at specific times.

 Macros and String reports can be generated automatically and repeated at specific times.

 Shift time programming determines the times of day financial totals are accumulated for the Shift

Report.

 Kitchen Printer/Video routing can be switched at specific times to accommodate slow/busy time requirements.

To set these options:

1. From the PGM mode PROGRAMMING MENU touch TIME to view the TIME selection window.

2. Touch TIME ACTIVATED FUNCTIONS to make a selection from the TIME ACTIVATED

FUNCTONS MENU.

3. Refer to the attached chart to determine the programmability for each time-activated function.

Sending Time Activated String Reports to an FTP Site

The Time Activated String Report Function provides an option to send the string report to an FTP site. If this option is selected, you must first make the appropriate network settings and identify the FTP server address.

These settings are found in a separate document titled "SPS-2000/SPS 5X0 FTP Reports” that is posted under

Support Documents on the SPS-2000 and SPS-5X0 Dealer Support Pages. Go to this document for complete

FTP setup instructions. To select this option:

1. Go to PGM/TIME/TIME ACTIVATE FUNCTIONS/STRING REPORT. The appropriate Time

Activate String Report screen displays.

Product & Ingredient

NOTE: Be careful not to confuse the separate and distinct inventory features of the SPS-500:

 A menu-explosion type inventory system is set up when PLUs are linked to a recipe#. Recipes and

Ingredients are programmed with this program.

 Product Mix Groups can be used to implement a simplified ingredient system for tracking only essential ingredients associated with items (i.e. cups for beverages or number of pieces for chicken menus.) Product mix groups also report usage by time period and optional Product Projections reporting is also available. The Product Projection report provides a history of each item's sales by day of week. Product mix items and product mix group time periods are also programmed set with this program.

 If used, The PLU Stock counters decrements for each activity in the PLU. PLU stock is set in the

PLU program, see “PLU Stock” on page 81.

SPS-500 Program Manual v1.32 P Mode Programming  149

Printer & KV Routing

The printing system of an SPS-500 register or system of registers is completely flexible. Up to 40 printers can be defined and connected to any available serial port on any register within a system. Multiple printer functions can be assigned to the same printer, giving added flexibility. The internal printer (single station) on the SPS-530 and the receipt/journal printers on the SPS-520 can be defined in the same manner as external printers and can receive data from other registers in the same network.

1. Before programming here, you must first:

 See "Define Port" in S Mode Programming to define the type of device (i.e. printer or kitchen video) that is connected to a serial port and to match the baud rate/parity/etc. between the serial port and the printer. This program also controls the feed lines before and after printing, the logo size, and cutting options.

 See "Printer Driver Selections" if you are using a printer other than the printers with predefined drivers, or if you need to customize a driver for a printer.

2. Next, assign a port for each printer. Select SYSTEM PRINTER CONFIGURATON to assign the printer number (1-40), give it a 10 character descriptor (i.e. salad prep, receipt, or detail) and identify the port # and the register # to which it is attached. In addition, you can identify a back-up location for information designated to go to the printer. (For example, if the salad printer is not functioning, then information destined for that printer could be sent to a different printer.)

150  P Mode Programming SPS-500 Program Manual v1.32

3. Finally, proceed with the parts of this program that pertain to your application:

 If you are using a kitchen video, select Kitchen Video Routing to designate the port # and the register

# where the video controller is attached. You can also define a backup printer in case communication with the video controller is disrupted.

If you are using kitchen printers, select Kitchen Printer Routing to link kitchen printer groups with a printer. (The groups of items are defined by assigning PLU items to PLU Status groups where groups are identified.)

Because different registers might route kitchen printer items to different printers, each register can be programmed separately in this program. (See "Kitchen Printing/Video Option Definitions" (option

#11) on page 114 to allow separate routing by register.) All registers contain routing information for all of the registers in the system.

SPS-500 Program Manual v1.32 P Mode Programming  151

NOTE: All registers are updated with changes made to this program at any register.

Because it is sometimes necessary to change kitchen printer routing depending upon the time of the day, (for example, separate hot and cold food kitchens may be active during lunch and a single kitchen active during dinner) you can make assignments for four different periods. The active routing period can be controlled automatically by time or set manually.

Priority printing is also controlled with this program. The order in which items are printed on the kitchen printer ticket is determined by the order in which kitchen printer groups are listed for each printer #. (Groups at the left are printed first; groups at the right are printed last.)

 If you are using receipt printers, see select Receipt Printer Routing to set the receipt printer for each location.

 If you are using detail printers, see Detail Printer Routing to designate the journal printer for each location.

152  P Mode Programming SPS-500 Program Manual v1.32

Promotion Table

Retailers often offer discounts when multiples of items are purchased. Through the Promotion Table, you can handle four different discount situations.

1. Mix & Match

This discount situation takes place where the merchant offers a fixed amount discount when a specific quantity of similar items are purchased. For example, “save $5 on any three bottles of wine”. This discount is implemented by first linking the applicable PLUs to a specific promotion table. At the promotion table screen, set the discount price field with the discount amount and the fixed quantity field with the number of items that need to be purchased in order to qualify for the discount.

Mix & Match %

This discount situation is similar to mix & match, except a percentage discount is applied (rather than an amount discount) when the discount criteria is met.

2. Multi Buy

This discount situation takes place where the merchant offers a fixed amount discount when a specific combination of items is purchased. For example, purchase 2-hamburgers, 1-french fry and 1-medium soft drink to receive a $1 meal discount. To implement this discount, you must list each item and the qualifying quantity that must be purchased on the promotion table program screen. Enter the amount of the combination discount in the discount price field.

3. Fixed Price

The fixed price discount is similar to the mult-buy discount. In both situations specific items must be sold to qualify, except when using the fixed price option, the package price is programmed instead of the package discount. For example, purchase 3-roast beef sandwiches for $3. In this case, the roast beef sandwich will be listed on promotion table screen with a quantity of “3”. The discount price field will be set at $3, which is the actual cost of the package.

4. Selective Discount

Selective discount enables a “coupon search” feature. In other words, before a coupon is allowed, the product for with the coupon applies, must be register in the transaction. The selective discount promotion is applied by first programming a “%” function key, and then setting the options on the

Promotion Table programming screen. The “Mix&Match Table #” field on the PLU must be set to

“00”. The discount is applied by first entering the promotion table number, then touching the “%” function key. If the discountable item is not registered, a “NO ITEM FOR SELECT DISCOUNT” error will display and the discount will not be applied. The FIXED QTY field will determine how many times the discount is applied.

Glossary of Terms

Activity Count

The activity counter keeps track of the number of times an entry is made on a PLU, or function key.

Add Check

The Add Check function is used to add multiple guest checks (tracking balances or soft checks) for payment together. (Use Tray Subtotal to add separate transactions when you are not tracking balances.)

Audaction

Refers to the total of all sales ending in a negative balance.

Authority Levels

Each employee must be assigned to one of nine authority levels. Each of the levels is set up to determine the operations that are allowed for each employee.

For example, in a restaurant an authority level with the descriptor kitchen help could be set to allow only clocking in/out, or an authority level with the descriptor owner could be set up to allow all functions. Other authority levels could be defined for servers, cashiers and managers that allow only the appropriate functions.

Auto Grill

Use the Auto Grill option to send items individual items to the designated kitchen printer. Items are sent with a one-item delay (at the next item or at subtotal.)

Auto Scale

Registrations of PLUs with auto scale status will automatically multiply by the weight placed upon a scale connected to the register. Use for items such as produce that are always sold by weight.

SPS-500 Program Manual v1.32 Glossary of Terms  171

Auto Tare

With auto tare status assigned, a preprogrammed tare weight will automatically subtract from the weight from the scale.

Bitmap File

The bitmap file is an image, i.e. a logo that can be printed on a receipt or guest check. The bitmap file is downloaded to the SPS-500 from a PC, and then downloaded to the memory of the appropriate printer.

Canadian Donut Law

Refers to special Provincial or State sales tax laws that change the taxable status of an item depending upon the quantity sold. Donuts, for example, might be taxable when sold individually at a bakery.

However, if a customer purchases a dozen, the food sale is considered non-taxable.

Cancel

Press the CANCEL function to abort a transaction in progress. All current items are removed

(voided).

Check Cash

Use the CHECK CASH function to exchange a check for cash outside of a sale.

Check Endorse

If compulsory check endorsement is set with the CHECK key, use the CHECK ENDORSE function to print the endorsement message after a check is inserted into the appropriate printer.

Compulsory

When an operation is programmed compulsory, a function (i.e. Non-add number entry) must be performed in order to complete the operation.

Condiment

Condiments PLUs are different from non-condiment PLUs in the manner they display and print during operations. Non-condiment PLUs are used for "main" items. Condiment items are indented and displayed/printed below a main item so that condiments or cooking instructions are easily understood for each "main" item.

Continue

Use the Continue function to override the pop-up employee function after a transaction. Allows the employee to post an additional transaction without signing on again.

172  Glossary of Terms SPS-500 Program Manual v1.32

Currency Conversion

Use one of the 5 available currency conversion functions to convert and display the value of the transaction in foreign currency. Only cash tender is allowed after pressing a CURR CONV key.

Change is calculated and issued in home currency.

Custom Report

One custom report can be created, with up to 50 totals and counters. The report is built by selecting totals that also appear on either the financial or sales by time period reports. When the custom report is created, totals and counters separate from the original report are also created (in other words, you can clear either the custom independently without affecting totals in any other report.)

Another feature of the custom report is the ability to add or subtract selected totals to create a new subtotal of selected information.

Default Program

The original program installed in the SPS-5X0. The register has a default program, which makes it operational after a RAM clear. Nearly all option, rate, and status programs are set to zero as the default condition.

Destination

Refers to the destination for the sale i.e. eat-in, take out, drive thru.

Discount (Item)

An item discount (coupon or %) subtracts an amount or percentage from the price of an item. This subtraction nets the Department or PLU total.

Discount (Sale)

A sale discount (coupon or %) subtracts an amount or percentage from the entire sale.

Electronic Journal

The electronic journal is an area of memory designated to keep a sales journal. The electronic journal can be printed, if necessary, to provide a traditional record of all register activity.

Error Condition

An error condition signals that an incorrect operation has occurred. It is identified by an audible tone and an error descriptor appearing on the display.

Error Correct

An error correct operation voids the last item entered, it must be used within a sale.

SPS-500 Program Manual v1.32 Glossary of Terms  173

Food Stamps

In the United States, Food Stamps may be used to purchase eligible food items at food stores that participate in the program. The SPS-500 can assist a retailer in handling food stamp transactions by sorting food stamp and non-food stamp eligible items within each sale and tracking food stamp payments for eligible items.

Gallonage

Gallonage is a status that can be assigned to a PLU. Gallonage PLUs accept a price, but print both the price and the quantity of gallons sold. The quantity of gallons is computed from the price per gallon, which is set as the preset price.

Groups

Groups are totals that collect information from designated PLUs. For example all PLU dessert items could collect in a group total called "desserts". You can send each PLU to up to three groups. The first group is designated in PLU programming, the second and third groups are designated in PLU

Status Group programming.

HALO

The high amount lock-out (HALO) limits the amount allowed to be entered in a PLU, or function key.

Ingredient Inventory

A menu-explosion type inventory system is set up when PLUs are linked to a recipe number. The X-

MODE MANAGER MENU provides functions to receive, transfer in/out, or enter raw waste for ingredients used in the recipe system.

Initial Clear

The initial clear function allows you to exit any register activity and return to a beginning or cleared state. Any transaction that is in progress will be exited and totals for that transaction will not be updated.

IRC

Inter Register Communications (IRC) is the term used to describe communications within a network of registers. Information exchanged between registers includes check information for posting to guest check, information to be printed or displayed at printers or videos, and sales information for consolidated reporting.

The SPS-500 uses ETHERNET at 10/100 Mbps for IRC.

Job Codes

Job codes are used to break down the hours worked for all employees into different categories (See

"Labor Groups" report in the Operation Manual.) A breakdown of hours by job is also reported for each employee (See "Time Keeping" reports in the Operation Manual.)

174  Glossary of Terms SPS-500 Program Manual v1.32

Keyboard Level

Each keyboard level is a separately defined set of keyboard functions for each key on the keyboard.

For example, separate levels might be required for different lunch/dinner menus. Or, within a restaurant different keyboards might be set up for pre-check, bar and/or cashier stations. Each register might contain the functions for each station on a separate level, so that any register could function at any station by simply changing keyboard levels and key legend sheets.

The SPS-500 has five keyboard levels.

Link PLU

If you wish the registration a PLU to automatically cause the registration of another PLU, enter the number of the PLU you wish to register automatically in the LINK PLU field of the appropriate PLU

Status Group.

Macro

Macros record key sequences for later execution. Up to 40 macros may be recorded and executed by pressing a function key or by entering the appropriate macro number and pressing a function key.

Memory Allocation

Memory allocation is a program that determines how the system memory is divided to provide the correct features for your application. For example, you may require more or less employee memory,

PLUs, or reporting. Memory allocation allows you to maximize the features you need while minimizing the features you do not need.

Modifier

No Sale

No sale is an operation to simply open the cash drawer.

NON-PLU Code

The NON-PLU Code program must be set if you wish to scan UPCs (using the EAN 13 code) with embedded prices, weights or quantities.

Override

Override is an operation used to bypass a programmed price or HALO.

SPS-500 Program Manual v1.32 Glossary of Terms  175

Password

A four-digit password can be set to control access to reports. Different passwords can be set for X and

Z1, Z2 etc. reports.

A system password can be set to allow service access to all of the functions of the SPS-500. For example, use the system password if you are servicing a users system and you do not know an employee code that allows you to access necessary functions, or if authority level programming prohibits you from accessing functions you need to access in order to complete your tasks.

Piece Count

The piece count is the value assigned to a PLU item that represents the number of unit pieces sold when the PLU is registered. For example, the number of pieces of chicken can be counted when a chicken dinner is sold. The number of units set as the piece count will be reflected in product mix reporting.

PLU Status Link #

Also referred to as PLU Status Group. The status link # contains the many of the configurable options for a PLU.

PLUs

Price look-ups (PLUs) are used to register items. PLUs can be fixed keys on the keyboard or they can be accessed by indexing a code number and pressing the PLU key. PLUs can be programmed with a preset or open price. PLUs record their own activity count and dollar total on any of the PLU reports.

Post Tendering

The Post Tendering feature allows the operator to use the register to compute change on cash transactions after the sale has been finalized.

To calculate change due after finalizing the sale, enter the cash amount presented by the customer and then press CASH. The amount of change due the customer is then displayed, and the cash drawer may open.

This is a calculation function only, and no totals or counters are updated by the use of this feature.

Price Level

Prices may be assigned at up to five different price levels for each item. One of up to 20 price level keys is identified for each different PLU price.

Product Mix Groups/Product Mix Reporting

Product mix groups also report usage by time period and optional Product Projections reporting is also available. The Product Projection report provides a history of each item's sales by day of week.

176  Glossary of Terms SPS-500 Program Manual v1.32

Promo

The PROMO operation allows items to be sold without cost, i.e. buy two, and get one free. PROMO activity will remove the item cost from the sale, but the sales count will include the promo item.

Receipt

A receipt is a printed tape given to a customer as a record of the sale transaction.

Recipe #

A menu-explosion type inventory system is set up when PLUs are assigned to a recipe number.

Register Number

The register number is a programmable number, which prints on the receipt and journal tapes. It identifies the electronic cash register the sale or report was performed on.

Stay-Down

When a function is programmed as a stay-down function, it is valid until changed. For example, a staydown clerk remains signed on until either signed off, or another clerk is signed on.

Stock PLU

Stock PLUs track the quantity of the PLU item in stock. Each time the PLU is registered, a whole unit subtracts from the stock counter. (Note that if multiplication or decimal multiplication is used when the PLU is registered, the resulting quantity of activity will subtract from the stock counter. Stock is maintained increments to the second decimal position, i.e. "X.XX".)

Surcharge (Item)

An item percent surcharge adds a percentage to the price of an item. This addition nets the PLU total.

Surcharge (Sale)

A sale percent surcharge adds a percentage to the entire sale.

Tare Weight

A tare is the amount of weight accounted for by the container or packaging. By entering a tare weight

(as required by law in some areas) the weight of the container is subtracted and only the true weight of the product is measured on the scale.

Tax Except

Tax except is used to exclude the tax from an entire sale.

SPS-500 Program Manual v1.32 Glossary of Terms  177

Tax Shift

Tax shift keys are used to reverse the tax status of a PLU entry.

Tender

The method of register operation in which payment is made and the transaction is finalized.

Transaction Number

A count appears at the bottom of each receipt and after each transaction on the journal tape. This count increases by one with each transaction, report, or scan.

Void

A void operation will erase a previous item entry. It must be used inside of a sale only.

Waste

The Waste function is used to start and end entries of items that are wasted. A waste count is maintained for each item and inventory is adjusted.
