Operations
Overview
The operations section of this manual gives basic information about the functions performed by the
register. Each of the function keys is explained, giving a general description of their operation.
Example operations are given for each function key showing correct keystrokes and the resulting
print on the receipt. Since all machines differ in actual programming, the operation of some keys may
require a management key, while other optional keys may not exist on your keyboard.
If you have questions concerning your keyboard set-up, please contact your authorized SAM4s dealer.
Function Key Descriptions
Keys are listed in alphabetical order. Some of the keys described below are not included on the
default keyboard. See "Function Key Assignment Programming" on page 91 to add or change
programmable keys.

X/TIME
Use to a multiply a quantity of items or calculate split pricing on PLU entries.
00, 0-9, Decimal
Use to make numeric entries in REG, X, Z, VOID, or P positions. The
decimal key is used for decimal or scale multiplication, when setting or
entering fractional percentage discounts, or when programming fractional tax
rates. Do not use the decimal key when making amount entries into PLUs.

Cancel function may only be used prior to tendering. Once tendering begins,
the Cancel function may no longer be used. The CANCEL key corrects the

transactions canceled.
