<strong>ER</strong>-A <strong>Model</strong> Mode Switch, Keys and Job Codes Overview<br />

Mode Switch, Keys and Job Codes Overview<br />

The Sharp <strong>ER</strong>-A model programming consists of SRV (Service Mode) and/or PGM / PGM2 (Program Mode)<br />

job codes.<br />

Access to the modes is controlled by the mode switch and mode keys.<br />

Job codes tell the ECR (Electronic <strong>Cash</strong> Register) what programming function to perform. Each job code<br />

has bits that enable, disable, or define the settings for the respective job code.<br />

The available Mode Switch, supplied Mode Keys and Job Codes vary by model.<br />

Mode Switch and Keys<br />

The key can only be inserted or removed when the switch is in the “REG” or “OFF” position.<br />

The following diagram illustrates the various modes and operative range of the keys supplied with the<br />

ECR. SRV and SRV’ modes are reserved for Authorized Sharp Dealers and Servicers and is only accessible<br />

using a key labeled SRV. This key is not supplied with the ECR and must be ordered via the National Parts<br />

Center (NPC). See your Sharp POS Support Directory for contact information.<br />

The Mode Switch and supplied Mode Keys vary by model.<br />

• REG MODE: This mode allows you to enter sales.<br />

• OPXZ MODE: This mode allows servers to take X or Z reports of their sales information and can also<br />

be used for employee functions.<br />

• OFF MODE: This mode locks all operations of the POS terminal. When you select this mode, the<br />

window will disappear. Touching any key turns the POS terminal ON.<br />

• PGM1 Mode: This mode allows you to program those items that need to be changed often such as<br />

<strong>ER</strong>-A <strong>Model</strong> Mode Switch, Keys and Job Codes Overview<br />

Important! As the above chart demonstrates although the availability of a programming option may vary<br />

between the <strong>ER</strong>-A models, with the exception of the <strong>ER</strong>-A242, the SRV and PGM2 Jobs codes are<br />

consistent throughout the <strong>ER</strong>-A product line.<br />

Example:<br />

1. SRV Mode job code 950 is used for free key programming on all <strong>ER</strong>-A models where free key<br />

assignment is available.<br />

NOTE:<br />

2. With the exception of the <strong>ER</strong>-A242, PGM2 Mode job code 1200 is used to associate a PLU to a<br />

department on all <strong>ER</strong>-A models.<br />

1. SRV Mode programming is not available on the <strong>ER</strong>-A242.<br />

2. The <strong>ER</strong>-A242 uses a single digit job code or keystroke sequence/procedure for PGM Mode.<br />

<strong>ER</strong>-A <strong>Model</strong> SRV (Service) Mode Programming Overview<br />

SRV (Service) Mode - varies by model.<br />

SRV-mode programming consists of service programming job codes, which define the system capabilities.<br />

The program settings may be printed on the Receipt / Journal printer.<br />

<strong>ER</strong>-A <strong>Model</strong> SRV Mode Job Codes<br />

Job Codes Description<br />

1. READING<br />

- 900, 950, 951 971, 990 Job Codes<br />

2. SYSTEM PRESETS<br />

– 900 Job Codes<br />

3. FILE ALLOCATION<br />

– 975 or 970 Job Codes<br />

4. FREE KEY ASSIGNMENT<br />

– 950 & 951 Job Codes<br />

5. SSP – 990 Job Codes<br />

6. TRAINING<br />

Print System Preset, Free Key Layout, File Allocation,<br />

and SSP settings on the Receipt / Journal printer.<br />

Program System Presets, Z Report Counters, GTs,<br />

Secret Codes, Training <strong>Cash</strong>ier Title and Code,<br />

Language, and Currency Symbol.<br />

System Presets are used to define basic system<br />

settings and controls such as the cashier number entry<br />

system, compulsory closing of the cash drawer prior to<br />

operation, date format, tax and grand total printing on<br />

reports and many others.<br />

File Allocation is used to distribute the memory in a<br />

Sharp ECR where the memory is allocable. This allows<br />

‘Files’ to be different sizes depending on need and for<br />

better use of the available memory.<br />

Free Key programming allows you to easily place<br />

function keys other than departments and PLUs onto a<br />

keyboard position based on your customer’s<br />

requirements<br />

A “Patch” is a service function that allows the program<br />

in a ROM to be modified without replacing the chip. It<br />

is properly called a SSP. The first step in a patch is the<br />

number of the patch. Leading zeros are input as part of<br />

the patch step. Usually, when several patches are out<br />

for a unit, then a new version ROM will be made<br />

available. This new ROM will incorporate the previous<br />

patches issued.<br />

When training a new employee, sales may be rung up<br />

without affecting sales totals when you place the<br />

ECR into Training mode via signing on with the training<br />

cashier. Training operations are valid only in REG,<br />

MGR, and VOID mode. The training cashier memory is<br />

updated in the training mode. Other memories are not<br />

updated.<br />

<strong>ER</strong>-A <strong>Model</strong>s SRV (Service) Mode - System Presets Overview<br />

SYSTEM PRESETS<br />

SRV Mode System Presets also known as 900 job codes are used to define system settings and controls<br />

such as the cashier number entry system, compulsory closing of the cash drawer prior to operation, date<br />

format, tax and grand total printing on reports and many others.<br />

Each System Presets controls a specific group of settings, programmed as a set of 4 bits (A B C D).<br />

Various setting may be enabled, disabled or defined by entering a predetermined value or the sum of the<br />

predetermined value for the respective bit.<br />

The program settings may be printed on the Receipt / Journal printer.<br />

System Preset Programming<br />

For the <strong>ER</strong>-A models, the following key operation is required to change a system preset settings.<br />

From SRV Mode:<br />

Where A, B, C, and D are the bits that need to be set for each System Preset programming job.<br />

Important! As previously mentioned, although the availability of a programming option may vary<br />

between the <strong>ER</strong>-A models, with the exception of the <strong>ER</strong>-A242 the SRV and PGM2 Jobs codes are<br />

consistent throughout the <strong>ER</strong>-A product line. This especially holds true for System Presets.<br />

EXAMPLE: While the settings for a specific System Preset will vary by <strong>ER</strong>-A model, generally the System<br />

Preset will control the same settings throughout the <strong>ER</strong>-A product line.<br />

Please note the actual bit (ABCD) values to enable, disable or define the settings will vary<br />

greatly by <strong>ER</strong>-A <strong>Model</strong>.<br />

<strong>ER</strong>-A <strong>Model</strong> SRV (Service) Mode – Free Key Overview<br />

FREE KEY Overview<br />

SRV Mode Free Key programming, also known as 950 programming, allows you to easily place function<br />

keys other than departments and PLUs onto a keyboard position based on your customer’s requirements.<br />

Function Keys are keys that perform actions, such as cash, check, charge, void, RA/PO, and auto keys.<br />

NOTE: For the <strong>ER</strong>-A320 and <strong>ER</strong>-A330, 950 programming is used to assign departments to the physical<br />

keyboard. Optional key top kits may be purchase to access the newly assigned departments. PLUs can<br />

not be placed directly on the keyboard. The PLU/SUB function key is used to register PLUs.<br />

SRV Mode Key Number Assignment programming, also known as 951 programming allows you to assign a<br />

key number to a fixed key position for departments, and direct PLU keys. Please see the chart below for<br />

availability.<br />

NOTE: Normally, there is no need to change the 951 programming from the MRS default settings which<br />

are shown in the respective Sharp <strong>ER</strong>-A model Instruction Manual/Book.<br />

Please see the respective Sharp <strong>ER</strong>-A model Programming Manuals and Dealer Knowledge Books for the<br />

Function Key List and Key Position charts.<br />

<strong>ER</strong>-A <strong>Model</strong> SRV (Service) Mode – File Allocation Overview<br />

FILE ALLOCATION Overview<br />

SRV Mode File Allocation, also known as memory file allocation and 970 programming, is used to<br />

distribute the memory in a Sharp ECR where the memory is allocable. This allows ‘Files’ to be different<br />

sizes depending on need and for better use of the available memory.<br />

The concept of file allocation is similar to partitioning a hard disk drive. Instead of disk space, you are<br />

working with areas of memory. File allocation allows for dividing and dedicating memory space for the<br />

files to store its data.<br />

Available memory maybe expanded with the addition of an optional memory expansion chip or board.<br />

<strong>ER</strong>-A440, 450T, 520 & 530 File Allocation Overview<br />

File allocation programming for the <strong>ER</strong>-A440, 450T, 520 and 530 uses File Groups to reserve areas of<br />

memory for data storage.<br />

During file allocation, file groups work much like a batch file or command file does in an operating system<br />

or software program. A single File Group may reserve areas of memory for a single file table or<br />

multiple dependent or related file tables.<br />

Programming by “Group” allows certain portions of some files (such as text length for Departments and<br />

PLUs) to be changed without affecting other programmed areas of the function.<br />

Depending on the File Group Type, the file allocation requirements will vary.<br />

2 OF 14<br />

Page 53 of 108


<strong>ER</strong>-A <strong>Model</strong> SRV (Service) Mode – File Allocation Overview<br />

Please see the respective Sharp <strong>ER</strong>-A model Programming Manuals and Dealer Knowledge<br />

Books for the File Group No, name, type, and table numbers.<br />

File Allocation Terminology<br />

The following terminology is used in File Allocation.<br />

• Group No.: (Also known as File Group No.) (See above -File Allocation Overview) This is a<br />

reference number for the file group and is used in the actual File Allocation Programming.<br />

Depending on the model, the Group No. is used and printed on the actual File Allocation Reading.<br />

• File No. / Table No.: (Also known as File Table No.) This is a reference number for the<br />

individual files within a File Group. Depending on the model, the File Table No. is used and printed<br />

on the actual File Allocation Reading.<br />

• File Name: Indicates the purpose of the particular file.<br />

• # Records: This area refers to the amount, or number, of each function that memory can be<br />

allocated for. The actual meaning of each record depends upon the file. ( e.g.: With PLU or<br />

Department Files, each PLU, or Department requires one record; with table files such as PLU Link<br />

or Condiment, each record equals one line of the table.)<br />

“# Records” is usually divided into two columns on the table - DEFAULT (at MAST<strong>ER</strong> RESET) and<br />

MAXIMUM. If the Maximum number of records for the file is denoted by asterisks, it is limited<br />

only by the available memory in the machine.<br />

• # Blocks: The “Blocks” referred to are individual memory areas set aside for transaction data for<br />

each <strong>Cash</strong>ier, Clerk, or Server. Each block of memory has a fixed number of records in it. Each<br />

record corresponds to a particular piece of data that would be printed in a <strong>Cash</strong>ier, Clerk, or<br />

Server Report. Block counts other than “1” are used only for <strong>Cash</strong>ier, Clerk, and Server Files.<br />

• Label Size: This denotes the number of bytes in the header of the data. In the “<strong>ER</strong>-A” Series, the<br />

number of bytes in the label MUST be added to the number of bytes in the record length to get an<br />

accurate number of bytes each record requires.<br />

• Record Length (Data Size): Shows the number of bytes required for the data in each record.<br />

• Memory Size: Shows the total number of bytes required for the file at default. In some File<br />

Allocation Tables, the total number of bytes is also shown for the file if it is opened to the<br />

maximum number of records.<br />

3 OF 14<br />

Page 54 of 108


File Group Types:<br />

<strong>ER</strong>-A <strong>Model</strong> SRV (Service) Mode – File Allocation Overview<br />

• Type 0: (Child) is modified automatically when the parent file group is changed. Create/Erase<br />

only. (e.g.: Department Text, PLU Price, or PLU Stock)<br />

• Type 1: (Parent or Primary) requires a Number of Records Entry. Create/Erase and<br />

Increase/Decrease the number of records. (e.g.: Dept., PLU, or Server/<strong>Cash</strong>ier)<br />

Operational buffers, such as the “Register Buffer”, are also considered to be Primary Files.<br />

Primary Files also include those files opened for report data storage such as Term, Gross Margin,<br />

Daily Net, Hourly, and Transaction. These reports can not be run if the corresponding files are not<br />

allocated.<br />

• Type 2: Requires an Entry of Indexes and Records. Create/Erase and Increase/Decrease the<br />

number of records for label and data individually. (e.g.: GLU/PBLU)<br />

Calculating Memory Usage<br />

Calculating the memory needed for specific applications is very important. This information is needed to<br />

know what RAM options are required. If given a set amount of RAM, it enables you to determine the<br />

maximum number of functions (such as PLUs, and UPCs) that can be installed.<br />

The general formula for calculating the memory required for any particular file is (See Example <strong>ER</strong>-<br />

A520/530 File Table No. Listing):<br />

TN = (NR x NB) x (RL + LS)<br />

Where:<br />

TN = Total Number of bytes.<br />

NR = Number of Records<br />

NB = Number of Blocks<br />

RL = Record Length (Data Size)<br />

LS = Label Size<br />

If the file that is being calculated is allocated is MRS, you should subtract the number of bytes the file<br />

uses at MRS from the value derived by the formula shown above. The result will be the amount of<br />

ADDITIONAL RAM required, or if the file size is being decreased, the amount of RAM freed.<br />

Reminders:<br />

1. The number of bytes in the Label Size must be added to the Record Length in order to get the<br />

actual number of bytes required for each record.<br />

2. If the number of records (or blocks) of a Type 1 (Parent or Primary) file group is changed, the<br />

files that follow the Type 1 (Parent or Primary) file group size will also be changed.<br />

<strong>ER</strong>-A <strong>Model</strong> SRV (Service) Mode – File Allocation Overview<br />

<strong>ER</strong>-A440, 450T, 520 & 530 File Allocation Programming<br />

For the <strong>ER</strong>-A440, 450T, 520, and 530 models, the following key operation is used to program file<br />

allocation:<br />

From SRV Mode:<br />

971 . @/FOR XX @/FOR YYYYY<br />

XX = File Group No.<br />

YYYYY = Desired number of Records/Blocks (items)<br />

ZZZZZZ =Total Lines of stored data<br />

MRS = See the Example <strong>ER</strong>-A520/530 File Table No. Listing below:<br />

NOTES: (1) The maximum number for “YYYYY” cannot be exceeded.<br />

(2) ***** The maximum number is based on the total amount of available memory.<br />

“Sister” File Groups<br />

*Important: You must delete the “sister” file group in order to allocate file groups that are flagged with<br />

an asterisk (See Example <strong>ER</strong>-A520/530 File Group Listing). (e.g.: PLU/UPC Price 1 and PLU/UPC<br />

Price 1-6 or PLU/UPC Text 1 (8 Char) and PLU/UPC Text 1 (16 Char) are considered “sister” file groups.<br />

You can only allocate one or the other not both.)<br />

E.g.: The <strong>ER</strong>-A520/<strong>ER</strong>-A530 at MRS is allocated for PLU/UPC Price 1. In order to change the memory<br />

allocation to allow for PLU/UPC Price 1-6, two things need to be considered:<br />

1. The File Group #5 (PLU/UPC Price 1) must be deleted prior to allocating the File Group #6<br />

(PLU/UPC Price 1-6).<br />

2. The PLU/UPC Price 1-6 will require more memory than PLU/UPC Price 1. Optional memory may be<br />

required.<br />

To Delete a File Group<br />

If you wish to free up available memory space by deleting a file group that is not required (e.g. Link<br />

PLU, Set PLU, Dynamic UPC etc.), perform the following procedure:<br />

From SRV Mode:<br />

(Type 0,1)<br />

<strong>ER</strong>-A <strong>Model</strong> SRV (Service) Mode – File Allocation Overview<br />

Increasing and Reducing the No. of Records<br />

It is always safe to increase the size of a particular File Group if memory is available to accommodate the<br />

increase.<br />

When reducing the size of a particular File Group, do not reduce the No. of Records below the<br />

No. of Used Records to prevent data loss.<br />

E.g. Using the Example <strong>ER</strong>-A520/530 970 File Reading below:<br />

In this example using the MRS defaults, PLU/UPC Group No. 4 must not be reduced below 20. If reduced<br />

below 20, any data associated with those records is lost.<br />

Group Number<br />

Description No. of Records No. of Used Records<br />

4 PLU/UPC 2000 20<br />

* <strong>ER</strong>-A520/520 970 Reading Prints according to Group No.<br />

NOTE: Reducing the number of Records can free up available memory space.<br />

EXAMPLE:<br />

At MRS, the ECR has 2000 records reserved for PLU/UPC (sales items). You determine that they will not<br />

require or use more than 500 records. You can safely reduce the No. of Records for the PLU/UPC File<br />

Group to 500 to free up available memory for use by other File Groups without losing data in records 1-<br />

500.<br />

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROGRAMMING FILE ALLOCATION<br />

1 Before you start any programming, it is recommended that you check the available memory.<br />

2<br />

Before you start programming memory allocation, you should consult with your customer to<br />

determine how much and what size file memory is necessary.<br />

3 When allocating File Groups, it is important to note which individual file tables are affected.<br />

4<br />

5<br />

6<br />

When allocating File Groups, observe the contents printed on the Journal Printer. If there is a<br />

problem with the allocation such as no available memory, it will be indicated on the Journal Printer.<br />

Upon completion of File programming and prior to returning to REG Mode or any other MODE, a<br />

Program Reset is required/mandatory.<br />

When making changes to multiple Files, complete all File programming and then perform a<br />

Program Reset.<br />

<strong>ER</strong>-A <strong>Model</strong>s PGM/PGM1/PGM2 Mode Overview<br />

PGM/PGM1/PGM2 Mode Overview - varies by model<br />

The Sharp <strong>ER</strong>-A model programming consists of SRV (Service Mode) and/or PGM/PGM1/PGM2 (Program)<br />

Mode job codes.<br />

Job codes tell the ECR (Electronic <strong>Cash</strong> Register) which programming function to perform. Each job code<br />

has bits that enable, disable, or define the settings for the respective job code. The program settings may<br />

be printed on the Receipt / Journal printer.<br />

PGM/PGM1/PGM2 Mode job codes allow the user to program settings such as the date, time, departments,<br />

items, tax, servers/cashiers, terminal functions, preset prices, etc.<br />

It’s important to know how the ECR was Service Mode programmed before attempting PGM Mode<br />

Programming, as many of the PGM job codes are affected (allowed or disallowed) by Service Mode<br />

programming entries.<br />

PGM/PGM1/PGM2 Mode Availability by <strong>Model</strong><br />

Access to PGM/PGM1/PGM2 Mode is controlled by the mode switch and mode key.<br />

<strong>ER</strong>-A242 PGM Mode Programming<br />

<strong>ER</strong>-A <strong>Model</strong>s PGM/PGM1/PGM2 Mode Overview<br />

The <strong>ER</strong>-A242 uses a single digit job code or keystroke sequence for PGM Mode programming. Please refer<br />

to the <strong>ER</strong>-A242 Instruction Manual for programming procedures.<br />

Example 1 - Date:<br />

From PGM Mode:<br />

Example 2 – Tax:<br />

From PGM Mode:<br />

NOTES:<br />

1. The <strong>ER</strong>-A242 comes with PC friendly software for item upload, graphic logo design<br />

and periodic sales reports. PC connectivity and programming with the PC software<br />

enables fast and easy programming.<br />

2. SRV Mode programming is not available on the <strong>ER</strong>-A242.<br />

<strong>ER</strong>-A <strong>Model</strong>s PGM/PGM1/PGM2 Mode Overview<br />

<strong>ER</strong>-A320, 330, 410/420, 440, 450T & 520/530 PGM/PGM1/PGM2 Mode Programming<br />

PGM/PGM1/PGM2 Mode programming for the <strong>ER</strong>-A320, 330, 410/420, 440, 450T & 520/530 use 4 digit<br />

job codes and/or “direct key entry”. Access to PGM/PGM1/PGM2 Mode is controlled by the mode switch<br />

and mode key.<br />

REMIND<strong>ER</strong>:<br />

The <strong>ER</strong>-A320 and <strong>ER</strong>-A330 uses PGM Mode only. Therefore all PGM Programming regardless<br />

of the job code is done in PGM Mode.<br />

The <strong>ER</strong>-A410/420, 440, 450T & 520/530 uses PGM1 Mode and PGM2 Mode.<br />

With the exception of the <strong>ER</strong>-A320 and <strong>ER</strong>-A330, the first number of the job code designates the PGM<br />

mode to use (PGM1 or PGM2). The second number of the job code designates the general function being<br />

programmed.<br />

EXAMPLE: Job code 2610 is used to program the Date.<br />

2 = PGM2 Mode<br />

6 = Miscellaneous Function<br />

Other common designations for the second number of the PGM/PGM1/PGM2 job code:<br />

0 - Dynamic UPC<br />

1 - Departments<br />

2 - PLU/UPC<br />

3 - Function Keys – i.e. media settings, media descriptions, HALO, etc.<br />

4 or 5 – Server/<strong>Cash</strong>ier<br />

6 - Miscellaneous Functions – i.e. date, time, register #, optional settings, stack report, devices<br />

etc.<br />

7 - Tax<br />

9 - Training Mode and Auto Keys (NOTE: Auto keys are programmed in X2 / Z2 Mode)<br />

Important! As previously mentioned, although the availability of a programming option may vary<br />

between the <strong>ER</strong>-A models, with the exception of the <strong>ER</strong>-A242 the SRV and PGM2, Jobs codes are<br />

consistent throughout the <strong>ER</strong>-A product line. This holds true for PGM/PGM1/PGM2 Mode programming.<br />

EXAMPLE: With the exception of the <strong>ER</strong>-A242, PGM/PGM1/PGM2 Mode job code 2610 is used for<br />

programming the date on all <strong>ER</strong>-A models.<br />

Term Definition<br />

Application Program This is the program for a particular customer<br />

Auto keys are used to automate or assign operations or functions to a<br />

single key. Auto keys allow for programming of several keys to a<br />

Auto Key Function<br />

single key. For example, a $20.00 speed tender, a Z Report or Tax<br />

Delete operation.<br />

BOGO Buy One Get One promotion.<br />

This amount is the “amount” of cash that should be in the drawer. It<br />

<strong>Cash</strong> In <strong>Drawer</strong> (CID)<br />

reflects paid outs, refunds, etc.<br />

FAT<br />

GLU<br />

This is an account record, such as a hotel / motel function or layaway<br />

which shows the current balance of an account. It reflects the charges<br />

and payments received to the account.<br />

This refers to a “Mandatory” function or procedure. E.g. “Compulsory<br />

drawer operation” means that the drawer has to be “Closed” for the<br />

machine to operate.<br />

The “condiment entry” is intended to guide the operator in making<br />

menu entries that require special instructions. E.g. chicken nuggets<br />

may be linked to a condiment table that will prompt for a choice of<br />

toppings (ranch, bleu cheese, honey mustard, none).<br />

This is a section of memory where the sales of items are stored. This<br />

total is updated on the fly. To see the amount of sales, an “X” (Read)<br />

or a “Z” (Zero out) report has to be taken. This category is named by<br />

the customer in PGM programming. E.g. “MEAT”, “PRODUCE”,<br />

“BE<strong>ER</strong>”, “CIGARETTES”.<br />

This is a section of memory where the departments are grouped and<br />

stored for reporting purposes. This total is updated on the fly. To see<br />

the amount of sales, an “X” (Read) or a “Z” (Zero out) report has to be<br />

taken.<br />

File Allocation Table: This is how we distribute the memory in a Sharp<br />

register where the memory is allocable. This allows “Files” to be<br />

different sizes depending on need. This allows better use of the<br />

memory available.<br />

Guest Look Up: This differs from a previous balance look up in that the<br />

GLU file holds an itemization of all registrations on the balance, while<br />

PBLU retains only the amount owed at the time of service.<br />

Inline or Inter-Register Communication: IRC is essentially a Local Area<br />

Network (LAN) consisting of Point Of Sale terminals, remote printers, a<br />

hub or switch, and possibly a personal computer. An IRC system<br />

IRC<br />

allows the manager to exercise centralized control over the satellite<br />

terminals through the master terminal. It is used to consolidate totals<br />

from one or more registers, to download programming, and sending<br />

information to a remote printer.<br />

Loop Reset This is a service reset.<br />

DOCUMENT<br />

POS/Glossary<br />

This is the controlling unit in an IRC system. The master will have<br />

generally the most memory of the units in the system. It is used for<br />

real-time transmission, to consolidate totals from one or more<br />

registers, to download programming, sending information to a remote<br />

printer, and consolidation of sales data for further processing. For<br />

example, a back office application.<br />

This operation will reset all the totals in the machine. There are three<br />

(3) types of master resets.<br />

MRS-1 (Master Reset-1): Clears the entire available memory<br />

and restores the initial factory default values for the keyboard<br />

and PGM-mode programming.<br />

MRS-2 (Master Reset-2): Clears the entire available memory,<br />

allows free assignment of the ten-key pad, eliminates the<br />

Direct Department and PLU assignments, and restores the<br />

initial factory default values for all other PGM-Mode<br />

programming.<br />

MRS-3 (Master Reset-3): Clears the entire available memory,<br />

allows the input of the product serial number and the<br />

assignment of the ten-keypad, eliminates the Direct<br />

Department and PLU assignments, and restores the initial<br />

factory default values for all other PGM-Mode programming.<br />

This is the control lock of the register. Determines the “Mode” of<br />

operation of the register.<br />

A device or function that can be added to a register. It is usually not<br />

found on the unit out of the box.<br />

A “Patch” is a service function that allows the program in a ROM to be<br />

modified without replacing the chip. It is properly called a SSP. The<br />

first step in a patch is the number of the patch. Leading zeros are<br />

input as part of the patch step. Usually, when several patches are out<br />

for a unit, then a new version ROM will be made available. This new<br />

ROM will incorporate the previous patches issued.<br />

Previous Balance Look Up: This is a guest check system. The guest<br />

check will show the current balance of items ordered, until the check is<br />

“serviced”. It may or may not include tax and a gratuity.<br />

Price Look Up: a PLU is a section of memory where an item is<br />

assigned a number, a name, and a preset price. The machine will<br />

locate this item by number and add the amount to the sale. The price<br />

does not have to be input through the keyboard during a sale.<br />

This is a section of memory where the PLUs are grouped and stored<br />

for reporting purposed. This total is updated on the fly. To see the<br />

amount of sales, an “X” (Read) or a “Z” (Zero out) report has to be<br />

taken.<br />

A Link PLU is used when more than one and up to five items is<br />

registered with one key depression. Each unit price is accumulative<br />

for those PLU items associated to the link type operation and are<br />

printed with the individual unit prices. For example, Bottle Deposits,<br />

specials or messages.<br />

POS/Glossary<br />

A PLU Menu key is used to group similar items together under one key<br />

for sales registration.<br />

A printout on the receipt printer of various PGM1, PGM2 or SRV<br />

program reading. For example, a department program reading.<br />

This is a procedure used to re-initialize the program with out<br />

destroying any of the programming.<br />

• A program reset unlocks the POS terminal when an operation<br />

lock up occurred.<br />

• A program reset DOES NOT clear the program, sales totals or<br />

GTs.<br />

• A program reset is mandatory after installing an RS232 peripheral<br />

device, an SSP, changing a System Preset Job Code or Memory<br />

Allocation File Group.<br />

• A program reset must NOT be performed in an IRC configuration,<br />

unless a CLOSE STORE in PGM2 Mode is executed.<br />

Universal Product Code: This is the bar code you see on packages<br />

used to identify the product. This code can be programmed into the<br />

registers memory with a name and price. When this code is entered<br />

into the machine through the keyboard, or by a scanner, the price will<br />

be added to the sale.<br />

Random Access Memory: This is the memory where the general<br />

programming is stored. This information changes frequently.<br />

Ram Clear This refers to a “Master reset” operation.<br />

Range<br />

This refers to a starting and ending point for a report. This is used in<br />

Department, PLU, and UPC reports to read a section of the<br />

information without taking a full report.<br />

Remote <strong>Drawer</strong> Refers to a drawer not mounted to the register itself.<br />

Read Only Memory (ROM)<br />

This is the chip where the basic machine structure is stored. This is<br />

not changeable.<br />

RP<br />

RS-232C<br />

Satellite<br />

Refers to a “Remote Printer”. Can be used on an IRC system or can<br />

refer to a RS-232C printer<br />

This is an industry standard for serial communication between a host<br />

and a peripheral unit. It usually utilizes a D-Sub 9-pin connector,<br />

Modular Jack RJ45 8-pin connector or USB connector and in Sharp<br />

systems depending on the number of RS-232 peripherals an optional<br />

RS-232 board may be required.<br />

This is a POS that has no control over IRC functionality. It only<br />

participates in an IRC system. It usually has the minimum memory to<br />

function as needed. The reporting, consolidation and preset data<br />

downloading will be done at the master.<br />

Sentinel<br />

DOCUMENT<br />

POS/Glossary<br />

This is a function that has a programmable limit as to the maximum<br />

amount of money to be kept in the drawer. When this amount is<br />

reached, an indicator will light in the display. This signals the operator<br />

or manager to make a “Paid Out” or “Drop” to decrease the amount of<br />

“CASH” in the drawer.<br />

Service Reset This is a program reset.<br />

Single Item <strong>Cash</strong> Sale: This is a function that allows a single key<br />

SICS<br />

operation to ring in an amount to a department, add the tax if<br />

applicable, and open the drawer.<br />

SIF<br />

Slip<br />

SRN<br />

Standalone<br />

Stacked Report<br />

Sub-department<br />

Tare Weight<br />

Single Item finalize: This is a function that allows one key, no matter<br />

when it is depressed in a transaction, to total out (FINALIZE) the sale.<br />

This refers to a “Slip printer”. This is the printer used to print the<br />

information on the guest check, or “Slip.”<br />

Sharp Retail Network: Basically the same as IRC. The two terms are<br />

interchangeable.<br />

This unit will have the files needed to function independently. There is<br />

no IRC functionality.<br />

The Stack Report printing function allows for multiple X/Z reports to be<br />

printed in sequence by a single request.<br />

A sub-department is a PLU, without a preset price. If you enter a<br />

price, that price becomes the highest amount that can be entered,<br />

(HALO). The sub- department price will be entered through the<br />

keyboard during the sale.<br />

This is the weight of an empty container or item that will be used to<br />

hold goods that are being weighed to determine cost.<br />

Tax Percentage Rate This rate is applied to whole dollar amounts.<br />

This is a part of the memory programming used to calculate state and<br />

local taxes that apply to the sale of items. This is done by entering in<br />

Tax Table<br />

the “Breakpoints” of the table established by the state, county, and / or<br />

city.<br />

Term Totals (Periodic)<br />

Some of the registers made by Sharp have the option in programming<br />

to have “Term” totals. This is a summary of the daily “Z” reports. They<br />

can be cleared at the end of the week (WEEKLY) or at the end of the<br />

month (MONTHLY).<br />

Batch Execution<br />

Reports<br />

Also known as EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) and EPAY (Electronic<br />

Payment), Credit Card Authorization (CAT) involves processing and<br />

authorization of Credit Card, Debit Card, Check (w/o MICR), Gift Card<br />

and EBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer) transactions. Available<br />

processing and authorizations vary by ECR/POS model and Merchant<br />

Service Provider.<br />

Involves the Merchant Service Provider/Payment Processor set up<br />

information stored within the CAT, EFT or EPAY device.<br />

Used to synchronize/initialize the CAT, EFT or EPAY device upon<br />

installation, after setting changes at the ECR/POS system and for<br />

unexplained occurrences when the CAT, EFT, or EPAY device ceases<br />

to function normally.<br />

Depending on the type of network used for CAT, EFT or EPAY<br />

authorization (Host or Terminal Based), there are four (4) batch<br />

commands supported:<br />

(1) Open Batch is required to process CAT, EFT or EPAY<br />

transactions and should be a part of open store procedures.<br />

(2) Close Batch is used to settle the credit card transactions at the<br />

end of day.<br />

(3) Clear Batch is used to erase all current batch transactions<br />

when batch settlement can not be achieved.<br />

(4) Change Batch No. is used to change the existing batch<br />

number when replacement (loaner) units are installed and/ or<br />

when there is a conflict at the processor and network advises<br />

you to change the batch number.<br />

Depending on the type of network used for CAT, EFT or EPAY<br />

authorization (Host or Terminal Based), there are four (4) different<br />

reports supported:<br />

(1) Local Summary report is used to indicate the summary<br />

information pertaining to each applicable transaction<br />

processed.<br />

(2) Local Inquiry report retrieves each record from CAT, EFT or<br />

EPAY device in detail (ex: Date, time, etc.).<br />

(3) Local Total report summarizes the CAT, EFT or EPAY<br />

device’s totalizers by the type of credit card.<br />

(4) Batch Status report is used to determine the batch (Open or<br />

Close) status at that specific time the report is initiated.<br />
