DEPARTMEfrr KEYS ([DEPT])
These are department keys through which sales items are registered.
These keys may be programmed as either 'OPEN' or 'PRESET' department
keys:
OPEN DEPARTMENT KEY ([Open DEPT])
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 then 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 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 [Iji/FOR] key, enter the unit price, and then depress
the appropriate department key, A multiplication entry will not be
repeated by depressing the department key again.
PRESET DEPARTMENT KEY ([Preset DEPT])
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 desired.
To multiply a preset department price by a quantity, enter the
quantity first, depress the [0/FOR] key, and then depress the preset
department key.
Each department can be programmed with a preset price, a HALC (High
Amount Listing Capacity), positive or negative use, tax stats, food
stamp status, and a descriptor (the name of the department or its
merchandise in a maximum of 8 alpha/numeric characters).
When a department is programmed as a negative department, a price
entry can not be repeated by depressing the department key again.
Neither can a price entry be repeated when the [RTN MDSE] or [PR OPEN]
key has been depressed prior to any department key depression.
A department key may be programmed to be used as single-item entry
keys. See the "Single-item Department Keys" description below.
