Advanced ProgrammingInstructionsDepartment ProgrammingProgramming Department StatusThere are two parts to department programming. Department status is set here. Depending onwhether you select open or preset department status is this section, you can also program either theopen department entry limit or the preset department price. See “Programming Department EntryLimit or Price” on page 46.Use this section to program the following status options:• Set negative departments that subtract from the sale, rather than normal positive departmentswhich add to the sale.• Enforce the entry of a non-adding number before the department entry. See “Non AddNumber” on page 34 for operation sequences.• Disable the departments, so that entries are not allowed.• Choose Open or Preset departments. Open departments accept amount entries. Use opendepartments to enter different priced items into the same category. Preset departmentsautomatically register a preprogrammed price when the department key is pressed. Use presetdepartments to register an individual item quickly and accurately. For example, cigarette packsor food items can be assigned to departments as presets.When you select preset departments, you can also decide if the department can also accept openentries. This option is referred to as “preset override”.• Set single item departments which automatically total as a cash sale immediately after thedepartment entry. Single item departments are used to speed up one item sales.• Select a tax status to determine whether sales tax is automatically added.Unless otherwise programmed, departments are positive, open, not taxable, not single itemdepartments, and accept unlimited amounts (up to 7 digit entry). Therefore, it is not necessary toprogram departments you wish to be open, positive, non-taxable, not single item, with no entry limit.ER-290 Electronic Cash Register Advanced Programming Instructions • 43
