Check Tracking OperationsImportant Note: Check tracking operations must take place on the same register. If anIRC register system is implemented, you cannot access the same checks from anyregister within the system. You must open, add to, and/or pay the check at the sameregister.OverviewThe SPS-300 can employ a manual previous balance, hard check, or soft check system. (Youmust select hard or soft check posting in memory allocation programming - the defaultselection is soft.)OptionsIf manual previous balance is selected, the check balance is not saved in memoryand is input manually by the operator (use the PBAL key).If a hard check system is selected, only the previous balance is maintained inmemory.If a soft check system is selected, the check detail is kept in memory until thecheck is paid. (The maximum size of the soft check is set in memory allocationprogramming.)For hard or soft check operations, the following tracking options are available:Tracking by manually entering the check number. (The number of digits in thecheck number may be set from 0-9, with zero meaning no fixed length.)Tracking by automatically assigning a check number. The starting check isalways #1.Enforcing entry of a table number, where a check number is also assigned, allowsthe check balance to be recalled by either the check or table number. Multiplechecks may be assigned at the same table. (If there are multiple checks assignedto the same table, an attempt to recall by table number will recall the check withthe lowest number.)The check number can be scanned from a printed bar code. For example, a barcode can be printed on a customer identification badge.For soft check operations, the following option is available:Consolidation of like items can be selected for guest check printing. Forexample, if three rounds of drinks are served, the check will print "3 TAPBEER" rather than "1 TAP BEER" three times.SAM4s SPS-300 Operator's & Programming Manual v1.2 Operations • 71
