Programming Department Keys
Departments are a category of merchandise. For example, Department 1
can be Housewares, Department 2 can be Food, Department 3 can be
Womens Clothing, and so on. This helps you track what you are selling.
Each department can be programmed as taxable or non-taxable, so that if
an item needs to be taxed, it is added automatically when you ring up an
item in a taxable department.
You can have as many as 99 departments on your cash register. If you
have many departments, you may want to make a list so other people who
use the cash register can properly use the department keys.
Programming departments includes up to 6 steps. Not all steps listed
below may apply to your specific needs, but you must specify a value for
each, even if you do not plan to use that feature.
1 Setting Standard and Gallonage Mode
2 Programming Multiple and Single Items
3 Programming High Digit Lock-out (HDLO)
4 Programming Tax Status
5 Programming Department Preset Price
6 Programming Department Names
For specific information about each of the items above, see the next
