The cash register can deal PLU codes and UPC codes.
A PLU code consist of 5-digits number and leading zeros can be applied to the PLU code.
Your machine has two kinds of PLU registration methods:
Direct PLU registration: Accomplished by pressing item key (direct PLU key) directly.
Indirect PLU registration: Accomplished by making an entry of PLU code and pressing the key.
UPC codes are basically codes for barcode reading. With regard to the UPC codes available for this register,
please refer to "Universal Product Code(UPC) or European Article Number(EAN)" in this chapter.
For UPC codes, the cash register has a UPC master file as a standard and a dynamic UPC file as an option.
Normally you use the UPC master file for saving the data programmed for UPC codes by using job numbers.
For the data entered in the UPC learning function mode, which is details in "UPC learning function", is stored in
the dynamic UPC file if your register has (if not, the register stores the data in the UPC master file). With regard
to data stored in the dynamic UPC file, you can edit the data or if necessary you can create programming data in
the dynamic file. The data in the dynamic UPC file can download into the UPC master file.
The phrase of “Dynamic UPC file” is indicated at the right side of job codes for the programming jobs whose
data is stored in the dynamic UPC file.
Your machine provides 2000 PLU/UPC codes as a standard, and a maximum of 15000 PLU/UPC codes.
Each PLU/UPC allows you to program the following:
PLU/UPC code (PLU: max. 5 digits, UPC: 6 to 13 digits)
Associated department
When a PLU/UPC is associated with a department, the following functions of the PLU/UPC depend on the
programming for the corresponding department.
• Type (Bottle return/Hash/Normal)
• Single item cash sale/Single item finalization
• HALO (for “Open” type)
• Item validation print compulsory/non-compulsory
Unit price (max. six digits)
You will usually have unit prices programmed for individual PLUs/UPCs as PLU/UPC unit prices.
If you program unit price “0.00” for a PLU/UPC, you can enter only the selling quantity into the PLU/UPC, i.e.
the PLU/UPC can be used only as a counter.
When your register is allowed to enter multiple prices (up to 6), you can program 6 different prices for one
PLU/UPC code.
Base quantity for split-pricing entries – two digits
Program a base quantity for each PLU/UPC dedicated to split-pricing entries.
Type of unit price entry
• If “Preset only” is selected, individual PLU/UPC entries can be made by entering the assigned code and
pressing the key (or by pressing a direct PLU key without any PLU code entry, or by scanning the UPC
code).
• If “Open only” is selected, the key must be pressed after the price entry followed by the PLU code and
the entry (, or the unit price must be entered before pressing a direct PLU key).
• If “Open and preset” is selected, the entries in both “Preset” and “Open” types are available.
• If the delete mode is selected, the corresponding program data for each PLU/UPC is deleted.
• If the prohibit mode is selected, the PLU/UPC code cannot be entered. This mode does not clear the
PLU/UPC program data.
