The register allows you to program text for clerk names, department item names, PLU/UPCs item names, if
necessary. There are two ways for programming text: using character keys on the keyboard or entering
character codes with numeric keys on the keyboard.

Using character keys on the keyboard

You can enter characters according to the small figures printed in the lower right position of the tops. For the
layout, please refer to “Keyboard” section on page

The following are used as control keys for character entry:

H

Toggles between upper-case and lower-case letters. By default, the upper-case letter is selected.
Once the

H

key is pressed, you are locked in for entering lower-case letters. “a” is displayed when

lower-case letters entry is selected as shown in the operator display example below.

N

Press the

N

key to enter numeric characters. For example to enter “1”, press the

N

1

key. If you press the

1

key without pressing the

N

entry mode. Once the

key is pressed, you are locked in for entering numeric characters. “1” is

displayed when numeric characters entry is selected as shown in the operator display example below.
