Ringing up Sales with the Barcode Reader
You can also ring up sales using the barcode reader. Before you can ring
up sales with the barcode reader, the UPC symbol must be programmed
into the cash register with the barcode reader. For more information, see
Programming PLUs with the Barcode Reader on page 58.

Printing Receipts
REG1 turns the cash register on for all normal sales transactions. All
features of the cash register are activated as programmed. A customer
receipt is printed for every transaction.
REG2 also turns on the cash register and allows all normal sales
transactions just like REG1 mode. However, the built-in printer is
turned-off so that customer receipts are
not
automatically printed. If you
are a smaller merchant or business, you may not need to print or issue
customer receipts. This controls the amount of receipt paper you use. In
this case, you do not print a receipt for every transaction and only print a
