Step 3 Programming Department Status
Merchandise can be classified into eight departments. Items sold with use of the department keys
can later be printed on a report that shows the quantities sold and sales amounts classified by
department. The data is useful for making purchasing decisions and other store operations. When
using a department key, you must set the parameters to specify the department status, such as
plus or minus sign and tax status.
Make sure that the mode switch is at the Z/PGM position, then operate the following key sequence.

G
• Sign
Assign + sign to departments in which normal sale amounts are to be entered, and - sign to
departments in which payments for items such as refunds, bottle returns or other minus
transactions are to be entered.
• SICS (Single Item Cash Sale)
This allows the operator to finalize the transaction entry by entering the unit price of one item and
pressing the department key set for SICS. If the unit price is preset for the department key, you
can finalize the transaction by pressing the department key only.
• Entry digit limit
Setting this parameter for applicable departments prevents the accidental entry of too large an
amount during a sale. For example, if the highest entry to be allowed is 9.99, enter 3. If 0 is
entered you cannot enter a price and only a preset price can be entered.
Step 4 Making Basic Sales Entries (Department Entries)
In this section, the basic sales entry method using department key with simple correction (void)
method is explained. For more information such as PLU entries, VAT(tax) entries and entries using
function keys, please refer to Utilizing Various Features for Sales Entries section.
An operation example (paid by cash) is shown below.
Before starting sales entries, make sure that a paper roll is installed.
