Clerk Operations
The number of clerks available is determined by memory allocation. (The default
configuration provides 10 clerks.) See “ALLOCATION” in the "Service Mode
Programming" chapter to set the number of clerks as well as other memory variables.
You can choose a Direct sign-on or code entry clerk system:
You can provide maximum security in a multiple clerk system with the code
entry system. Enter the clerk secret code, and then press the CLERK key to
sign on the register.
You can sign off a clerk by entering 0, then pressing the CLERK key.
You can also select stay down or pop-up mode for clerk operation:
Stay down means that once a clerk is signed on, the same clerk will remain
signed on until the clerk signs off. A stay down clerk system might be used
when only one operator uses the register at a time and a different operator
begins when a work shift is changed.
Pop-up means that the clerk is automatically signed off at the end of each
transaction. To begin a transaction, you must first sign a clerk on. A pop-up
clerk system might be used in a department store, where several clerks use the
register during the same shift and clerk sales information is required.
See “SYSTEM” of "Options Programming" in the “Program Mode Programming” chapter
to set clerk options.
Clerk Sign On Instructions
When a clerk is not signed on, the message "CLOSED" is shown on the display. Note that
