POWER OFF (AC CORD DISCONNECTED) / BUSY / COMMUNICATION ERROR AT SLAVE ECR
For an X-report data, the master ECR prints consolidated X report skipping power off or busy slave ECR. See
the IRC status which is printed at the end of the report for non-consolidated slave ECRs.
When collecting a Z-report data and one or more of the slave ECRs are not ready, the master ECR displays the
slave ECR status as shown above (IRC busy, E1, E2). Re-attempt to collect the slave's report or skip it.
TTL 5 key
for re-attempt
In order to include an ECR's data on the Z-report, close the transaction in process in that particular
slave, or turn its power on and then press
TTL 5
key on the master ECR.
CL key for skip
If you do not wish an ECR's data on the report, press the CL key and the master will skip that slave
ECR. Master resumes data collection for the next ECR in the system.
POWER OFF (AC CORD DISCONNECTED) AT MASTER ECR
If the power fails when collecting X-report data, the master prints consolidated X report when the power returns.
See the IRC status which is printed at the end of the report for non-consolidated slave ECRs.
If the power fails when collecting Z-report data, the master ECR displays the machine number of the slave ECR
when the power returns. Press
CL
key to skip or press
TTL 5
key to re-attempt.
