Keyboard Legend Description
TARE
Tares are container weights. If you are using the scale function, you can preset up to 5 different
tare weights. The tare can be subtracted automatically when a specific PLU is registered, or
manually inputting the tare number and pressing the TARE key can subtract the tare. Tare #5 can
be programmed for entering tare weights manually.
TAX EXEMPT
Press the TAX EXEMPT key to exempt tax 1, tax 2, tax 3, and/or tax 4 from the entire sale.
TAX SHIFT (1 - 4)
When pressed before a PLU entry, the tax shift keys reverse the tax status of the PLU, i.e., a PLU
with non-tax status would become taxable or a PLU with tax status would become non-taxable.
TIP
The TIP key allows a gratuity to be added to a guest check before payment. 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 amount
or the amount after taxes.
VOID
Use to correct an item entered earlier within a sale. The VOID key corrects the appropriate totals
and counters. To correct the last item, use the ERROR CORR key. For void operations outside
of a sale (Transaction Void), use the VOID position on the control lock. The Financial report
records totals for each type of void separately.
VALID
Press the VALID key to print a one-line validation on a separate form or piece of paper. Any
item registration, discount or payment may be validated.
WASTE
The WASTE key allows control of inventory by accounting for items that must be removed
from stock due to spoilage, breakage or mistakes. Press the WASTE key before entering wasted
items, and then press the WASTE key again to finalize. The WASTE key may be under
manager control, requiring the control lock to be in the X position. The WASTE key is not
allowed within a sale.
% (1 - 5)
(percentage or
dollar amount; and
discount or
surcharge)
Up to five % keys may be placed on the keyboard. Each % key is set with a specific
function, such as item discount or surcharge, or sale discount or surcharge.
The percent rate may be entered or preprogrammed, or the percent keys can be programmed
with a negative open or preset price, thus acting as coupon keys.
A percentage key may also be set up to accept charge tip entries.
