6. PROGRAMMING OPERATIONS EO1-110956-36.2 CHARACTER ENTRIESCase 2: When the ECR Keyboard is Flat Keyboard Type:The Flat keyboard will be set with the “Setting Mode Key Layout” in the programming operations including thecharacter entries. On this keyboard, functions and locations of keys required in various programming operationsare fixed. Characters on the key sheet may be entered directly through this keyboard. The Character Code Entrymethod is also allowed.The following operations may be executed with the “Setting Mode Key Layout.”• STORE NAME/MESSAGE AND COMMERCIAL MESSAGE PROGRAMMING (Submode 1)• CASHIER CODE AND NAME PROGRAMMING (Submode 2)• PLU TABLE PROGRAMMING (Submode 4)• CUSTOMER FILE CODE (CHECK TRACK NO.) AND NAME SETTING (Submode 15)• SALESPERSON CODE AND NAME PROGRAMMING (Submode 20)NOTE: If an option keyboard (TKB-1 or PK-2) is connected, the DIRECT CHARACTER ENTRY method isallowed through both the ECR keyboard and the option keyboard.6.2 CHARACTER ENTRIESAs already stated, there are two methods of operations for character settings for names or messages:CHARACTER CODE ENTRY Method and DIRECT CHARACTER ENTRY Method.CHARACTER CODE ENTRY MethodThis method is to set a character by entering a Character Code and depressing the [#] key.This method is allowed in either of Case 1 and Case 2, but is operated only on the ECR keyboard (OrdinaryType or Flat Type).DIRECT CHARACTER ENTRY MethodThis method is to set a character by directly depressing the Character Key on any of the following keyboard:• Flat Keyboard (ECR Keyboard Flat Type) with “Setting Mode Key Layout” sheet (refer to Case 2)• TKB-1 Keyboard (Programming Keyboard; hardware option)• PK-2 Keyboard (PLU Keyboard; hardware option)By using those character keys, the characters are directly entered. In this manual, sample operations areattached to most of the programming operations. And at name or message programming portions, charactersare entered by the CHARACTER CODE ENTRY method. Instead of this, you may depress the CharacterKeys. For example, instead of entering 401 [#] (to enter character “A”), you may simply depress CharacterKey “A” on any of the above three keyboards.On the following pages, Character Code Tables under the CHARACTER CODE ENTRY Method and threedifferent keyboards under the DIRECT CHARACTER ENTRY Method are shown. These pages are to be referredto, every time the “Character Entries” sequence is contained in various programming operations in this manual.Read through these pages at least once first, so that you may know the appropriate method of character entriesusing the ECR keyboard and/or option keyboards.
