Memory AllocationCAUTION: The procedures described in this area are security sensitive. Memory is automatically clearedafter memory allocation is set. Do not change memory allocation after your system has been installed unlessyou are aware that all programs, totals and counters will be cleared. Do not share this information withunauthorized users and provide the S Mode password only to those you may want to perform these functions.The Memory allocation is requested when the machine is program reset and default memory allocation isdeclined. The information can be displayed at any time by selecting S mode option memory allocation.► From the S mode MAIN MENU touch MEMORY ALLOCATION to display the S mode MEMORYALLOCATION Screen.Options are organized under seven tabs. Maximums of memory allocation variables depend upon how eachmemory option is set. Available memory is monitored at the top of the screen. An error message displaysimmediately if you attempt to allocate features that require more memory than is available.Memory Allocation – DefinitionsThe following entries define the file sizes for the ECR; once they have been entered they are fixed and cannotbe changed without program resetting the machine. All ECRs within an IRC (inter register communications)system should have identical memory allocations.(1) # OF PLUThis is the maximum number of PLUs (Price Look-Ups).(2) # OF PLU STATUS GROUPSThis is the maximum number of Status Groups. These are used to program common system flags to agroup of PLUs and are required by the system.(3) # OF PRICE LEVEL PER PLU (1 - 5)This is the number of price levels per PLU. Each product has the ability to use five prices selected fromtwenty price bands. If you wish to use price levels, you must determine the number of price levels here.If Price levels are set, they are set for all PLUs.(4) PLU REPORT BY PRICE LEVELIf selected, the PLU report will detail sales at each level, rather than a total and counter for sales at alllevels combined.(5) # OF EMPLOYEESDetermine the total number of employees and set the maximum use wish to use here. Employees includeall who use the register for any purpose, including those using only the time clock feature for clockingin/out.(6) # OF TIME ENTRIES PER EMPLOYEEDetermine the total number of employees and set the maximum use wish to use here. Employees includeall who use the register for any purpose, including those using only the time clock feature for clockingin/out.SPS-500 Program Manual v1.13 S Mode Programming 39
