Memory AllocationThe memory allocation program determines how memory is divided to support the followingfeatures:1. PLUs - you must allocate a minimum of 300 PLUs, a maximum ofapproximately 4000 is determined by available memory.2. Clerks – you must allocate at least 1 clerk, with a maximum of 99. (Note youalso must allocate at least one guest check for each clerk.)3. Groups – you must allocate at least 1 group, with a maximum of 99.4. Guest Checks – you can allocate a maximum of approximately 200 hard or softchecks5. Soft Check Lines – you can allocate a maximum of 100 lines per check6. Check Type – select hard or soft checks7. Levels – allocate one or two price levels.8. Mix & Match Discount Tables – default is 10 you can allocate a maximum of100.9. Electronic Journal – Default is 1000 lines; maximum is 1000 lines.Important Memory Allocation Notes1. Memory variable maximums are theoretical. For example, if all other variables are at ornear zero, then 4000 PLUs are possible. Note check memory, especially soft checkmemory, and clerk memory consume considerable memory.2. Using the clerk interrupt feature requires allocation of at least one guest check for eachclerk and sufficient soft check lines to support the interrupted transaction (i.e. if 20 softcheck lines are allocated, a transaction with up to 20 lines can be interrupted.) Seesystem option flag # 26 to select clerk interrupt operations instead of table management(check tracking) operations.3. All models default to 1000 lines of electronic journal. For models with journal printers,you may wish to set electronic journal to “0” so that memory may be used for otheroptions.Memory CapacityMaximum memory of 4 mb is standard. No additional expansion is available.98 • S-Mode Programming SAM4s ER-900 Series Operator's & Programming Manual v.1.3
