Function Keys and Options
Functions necessary for restaurant operations may not appear on the default keyboard. Any
or all of the following functions can be located on the keyboard. See "Function Key
Assignment Programming” on page 101 if it is necessary to locate these keys on your
keyboard.
CHECK #
The
CHECK #
key is used to begin a new, or access an existing
balance (hard check) or itemized bill (soft check.) Existing checks
are accessed by entering the check track number and pressing the
CHECK#
key. The Check # key may be set with the following
options:
A check must be started before items may be entered.
The clerk that opens the check has exclusive access.
Only one check may be allowed per table.
The check # may be automatically assigned by the register.
Check track numbers that are entered manually may be set at a
fixed length of one to nine digits. Check track numbers assigned
automatically will begin with #1.
In a drive thru system, simply pressing the
PBAL
key will recall the
oldest open balance (lowest check track #).
GUEST
Use to enter the count of guests served as part of a guest check. The
entry of a guest count can be enforced when opening a guest check, or
for all transactions.
P/BAL
Use to enter the amount of an outstanding balance. The
P/BAL
key
will take the recall function if the
drive thru
feature is enabled in
CHECK #
key programming.
SERVICE
Use to temporarily finalize Previous Balance or check tracking
transactions. (If you are using a hard check system, you must program
the
SERVICE
key for the port where the slip printer is connected.)
TABLE
You can enforce the entry of a table number for guest check
transactions, or for all transactions. If you are tracking guest check
balances, the balance can be recalled either by entering the check
number or the table number.
PRINT CHECK
Use to print a soft check. The check can be printed on an optional (RS-
232C) printer, or can be printed on the receipt printer. The
CHECK
key can be set to automatically service the check.
TIP
The
TIP
key allows a gratuity to be added to a guest check before
payment. (The TIP key is only used in guest check operations.) The
tip amount is deducted from the Cash-in-Drawer amount for the
Clerk/Cashier closing the guest check.
The
TIP
key may be programmed as either a percentage or amount.
If programmed as a percentage, tax programming defines whether
the percentage is calculated on the net (taxable = no) amount, or the
amount after taxes.
