Plu/upc programming – Sony ER-A420 User Manual

Page 96

Your machine has two kinds of PLU registration methods.
Direct PLU registration:

Accomplished by pressing item key (direct PLU key) directly.

Indirect PLU registration: Accomplished by making an entry of PLU code and pressing the

key.

In this manual, the word “UPC” represents UPC (Universal Product Code) and the word “EAN” represents EAN
(European Article Number).
With regard to the UPC codes available to this register, please refer to the chapter 13 in “Job-Code-Based
programming”.
Each PLU/UPC requires you to program the following:

PLU/UPC code (PLU: max. 5 digits, UPC: 6 to 13 digits)
Associated department

When a PLU/UPC is associated with a department, the following functions of the PLU/UPC depend on the
programming for the corresponding department.
• Type (Bottle return/Hash/Normal)
• Single item cash sale/Single item finalization
• HALO (for “Open” type)
• Item validation print compulsory/non-compulsory

Unit price (max. six digits)

You will usually have unit prices programmed for individual PLUs/UPCs as PLU/UPC unit prices.
If you program unit price “0.00” for a PLU/UPC, you can enter only the selling quantity into the PLU/UPC, i.e.
the PLU/UPC can be used only as a counter.

Base quantity for split-pricing entries – two digits

Program a base quantity for each PLU/UPC dedicated to split-pricing entries.

Type of unit price entry

• If “Preset only” is selected, individual PLU/UPC entries can be made by entering the assigned code and

pressing the

key (or by pressing a direct PLU key without any PLU code entry, or by scanning the UPC

code).

• If “Open only” is selected, the

key must be pressed after the price entry followed by the PLU code and

the

entry (, or the unit price must be entered before pressing a direct PLU key).

• If “Open and preset” is selected, the entries in both “Preset” and “Open” types are available.
• If the delete mode is selected, the corresponding program data for each PLU/UPC is deleted.
• If the prohibit mode is selected, the PLU/UPC code cannot be entered. This mode does not clear the

PLU/UPC program data.

Sign (+/-)

The function of every PLU/UPC varies according to the combination of its sign and its associate
department’s sign as follows:

Food stamp status and tax status (taxable 1, 2, 3 and/or 4, non-taxable)
Item label (max. 16 characters)
Tare table number and scale entry
Age limitation
Commission group (1 to 9)
Mix-and-match table (max. 10 tables)
Set PLU (for only PLU)

You can link a maximum of 10 PLUs to a particular PLU.

Link PLU/UPC link

A PLU/UPC is able to link to any other PLU (e.g. bottle deposit). However, the number of links is a
maximum of 5. Even if more than 5 PLUs are linked, the sixth or higher link is not actualized (ignored).
