Up to five % keys may be placed on the keyboard. Each % key is set with a specific function, such as item discount or surcharge, or sale discount or surcharge. The percent rate may be entered or preprogrammed, or the percent keys can be programmed with a negative open or preset price, thus acting as coupon keys.

Enter a quantity, then press the @/FOR key to enter multiple items. Also use to enter “split pricing” items, such as 1 item at 3 for $.89.

When pressed directly, the @/FOR key will cause the information displayed on the screen to be printed. (The print screen function is allowed or disallowed by a system option.)

The TIP key allows a gratuity to be added to a guest check before payment.

The tip amount is deducted from the Cash-in-Drawer amount for the

The TIP key may be programmed as either a percentage or amount. If programmed as a percentage, tax programming defines whether the percentage is calculated on the net amount, or the amount after taxes.
