SAM4s ER-650
Check Tracking Operations
Important Note: Check tracking operations must take place on the same register. If an IRC
register system is implemented, you can not access the same checks from any register within
the system. You must open, add to, and/or pay the check at the same register.
Overview
The
ER-650
can employ a manual previous balance, hard check, or soft check system. (You
must select hard or soft check posting in memory allocation programming, the default
selection is soft.)
•
If manual previous balance is selected, the check balance is not saved in memory
and is input manually by the operator (use the
PBAL
key).
•
If a hard check system is selected, only the previous balance is maintained in
memory.
•
If a soft check system is selected, the check detail is kept in memory until the
check is paid. (The maximum size of the soft check is set in memory allocation
programming.)
Options
For hard or soft check operations, the following tracking options are available:
•
Tracking by manually entering the check number. (The number of digits in the
check number may be set from 0-9, with zero meaning no fixed length.)
•
Tracking by automatically assigning a check number. The starting check is
always #1.
•
Enforcing entry of a table number, where a check number is also assigned, allows
the check balance to be recalled by either the check or table number. Multiple
checks may be assigned at the same table. (If there are multiple checks assigned
to the same table, an attempt to recall by table number will recall the check with
the lowest number.)
•
The check number can be scanned from a printed bar code. For example, a bar
code can be printed on a customer identification badge.
For soft check operations, the following option is available:
•
Consolidation of like items can be selected for guest check printing. For
example, if three rounds of drinks are served, the check will print "3 TAP
BEER" rather than "1 TAP BEER" three times.
