TRANSACTION STORAGE CALCULATION
If the configuration of variable field sizes and software options you have is not listed in the
transaction storage table, you can determine the approximate number of transactions by
calculating:
1.
The number of bytes in your transaction record.
2. The number of ROM bytes used.
3. The number of RAM bytes used.
4. The available transaction space
5. The total number of transactions that can be stored.
The calculations vary according to the number and type of system options you have.
1. Figure out the number of bytes in the transaction record. Only add in the calculations for
manual entry and receipt printer if you have these options.
