Cash Register Programming and
Features
Programs and transaction information for management re-
ports are stored in the memory of the cash register which is
protected by back-up batteries.
Before beginning to program the cash register or to
perform sales transactions, insert the batteries to save
this information if a power failure occurs or if you unplug
the cash register from the power outlet.
