E n t e r i n g a P r i c e
At data entry, the price prompt includes the pricing symbols
(unless you select None for Monetary Sign). Your price prompt
may look like this
PRICE:
$0.00
...or like this
PRICE:
0¢
The difference between these prompts is the symbol used for
printing amounts less than $1.00. You can select the cent sign for
printing amounts less than $1.00 using the Defaults function. The
same option is available for other currencies. See Chapter 5,
"Setting Defaults."
You can enter and print: cent amounts, dollar and cent amounts,
or unit prices. For example: 3¢, $.59, $15.98, 2/59¢, or 3/$1.00.
E n t e r i n g " 2 - F o r " P r i c e D a t a
You can use any price field in a "2-for" pricing scheme. When
entering data for a price field offline (at the printer), use the # key
to separate the 2 and the price data in the "2-for" price. For
example, to enter the price "Two for $5.00," enter 2#500. If you
use option 42 to format the field online as a price field, enter the
quantity, a slash, and the price data. For example, to enter the
price "Two for $5.00," enter 2/500.
