0ECZMAL POINT KEY [.]
This key is used, as part of numeric keys, to designate the position
of the decimal point when entering a percent rate (through [%+J or
[%-]) or a quantity (through [@/FOR]). For example, to enter 0.5%,
index 0->[.]-*5, or [.1+5. A maximum of three digits may be entered
below the decimal point (except in tax rate programming in the "SET"
mode).
When entering a price or amount such as $0,25, just index 2-^5. In
this case, depression of the [.} key is not necessary and will cause
an error.

DEPARTMENT KEYS [DEPT]
These are department keys through which sales items are registered.
Each of these keys may be programmed as either 'OPEN' or 'PRESET' key.
OPEN DEPARTMENT KEY
A department key which has no preset price programmed is an 'OPEN'
key and must have a price entered into it manually each time. The
price is rung up on the numeric keyboard and the appropriate
department key is depressed. The price is then displayed and
printed on the receipt and journal rolls.
When the same department key is depressed more than once
consecutively after a price entry, the price entry is repeated as
many times as the department key is depressed.
To enter a price extended by multiplication, enter the quantity
first, depress the [@/F0R] key, enter the price, and then depress
the appropriate department key. A multilplcation entry may not be
repeated by depressing the department key again.
For split-pricing, enter the purchased quantity, depress [(?/FOR],
enter the whole package quantity next, depress [@/F0R] again, enter
the whole package price, and then depress the department key.
PRESET DEPARTMENT KEY
A preset key is a key which has already a price programmed in it.
It is therefore unnecessary to enter the price of an item; simply
depress the key to register the sale of one item.
To repeat the same preset item, depress the department key as many
times as required.
To multiply a preset department price by a quantity, enter the
quantity first, depress [@/F0R] ([@/FOR] may be omitted if the
preceding quantity is a one-digit value), and then depress the
preset department key.
For split-pricing, enter the purchased quantity first, depress
[@/F0R], enter the whole package quantity next, depress [@/F0R]
again, and then depress the preset department key.
