You can operate onlyone clerk per register when you choose this method.You can provide maximum security in a multiple clerk system with the codeentry system. Enter the clerk secret code, and then press the CLERK key tosign on the register.You can sign off a clerk by entering 0, then pressing the CLERK key.Using an optional card reader, you can use employee cards to log on or off.You can also select stay down or pop-up mode for clerk operation:Stay down means that once a clerk is signed on, the same clerk will remainsigned on until the clerk signs off. A stay down clerk system might be usedwhen only one operator uses the register at a time and a different operatorbegins when a work shift is changed.Pop-up means that the clerk is automatically signed off at the end of eachtransaction. To begin a transaction, you must first sign a clerk on. A pop-upclerk system might be used in a department store, where several clerks usethe register during the same shift and clerk sales information is required.See "System Options" in the "Program Mode Programming" chapter to set clerk options.SAM4s SPS-300 Operator's & Programming Manual v1.2 Operations • 37
