Programming High Digit Lock-out (HDLO)
You can specify the most number of digits that can be rung up in an entry.
This feature helps to prevent against large over-rings. If too many digits
are entered, the error beep sounds and the keypad locks up. For example,
to limit ring ups of more than $99.99, set the HDLO to 4.
Programming Tax Status
Some items must have tax collected by law. You can program your cash
register to automatically assign the right amount of tax, based on the
department the item is assigned to.
Note
If you are using the cash register in Canada, your instructions are in
Programming Tax in Canada on page 132.
You can link no tax, a single tax rate (Tax 1), or multiple tax rates (Tax 2,
3 or 4) to a department key.
