Percent Key Operations
A total of five % functions are available. (%1) is located on the default keyboard of the
NR-500 Series. Each function is individually programmable to add or subtract, from an
individual item or from a sale total, amounts (coupons) or percentages. You can also
program the percentage key taxable or non-taxable, so that sales taxes are calculated on the
net, or the gross amount of the item or sale. You can also program preset prices or
percentages.
The operation examples in this section show the percentage key in a variety of
configurations. See "Function Key Programming" in the "Program Mode Programming"
chapter to assign a specific function to each percentage key.
