407.5.2 Network SizeThe Network Size is programmed in PARAMETER 55 and is only required for FloatingBalances and Consolidated report. Note that the register number must be sequential whenyou are using the network for floating balances and reporting. When you are only using thenetwork for sharing printers and computer connection the network size is not required. Thetheoretical maximum is set to 24 registers.7.5.3 Floating BalancesWhen you want to use the network for floating balances you must SET OPTION 92 andprogram the NETWORK SIZE so the register knows to which registers it should sent thebalance information. The registers keep track of which balance is open on which registerand will give ERROR# 44 (BALANCE STILL OPEN) when you try to print or pay a balancewhich is still open.7.5.4 Floating ArticlesIt is possible to do PLU maintenance and have it sent automatically to all registers in thenetwork. When you want to use the network for floating articles you must SET OPTION 93and program the NETWORK SIZE so the register knows to which registers it should sentthe article information. PLU maintenance means changing PLU information orcreating/deleting PLU when using scan codes.7.5.5 Sharing PrintersIt is possible to share printers in the network. All printers (external and internal) in thenetwork can be shared. When a printer is shared the register will automatically print thetickets at the END of the transaction because it has to sent a complete ticket to a sharedprinter. When you want to use a printer as a shared printer you MUST program the printeras a network printer in ALL registers which use this printer. In order to activate a printer asa network printer you must program the register and port to which the printer is connected.Note the port# 0 means internal printer. The port parameter of the printer programming (allprinters) is RRP where RR is the register# (maximum 24) and P is the port# (0-6).Example 1:Internal thermal printer of REGISTER# 2 as a network receipt printer.PARAMETER 9 value 2 which means thermal internalPARAMETER 10 as 20 which means register#2 and port# 0.Note that you must program these values in all registers which use this printer.
