When an error occurs in backup data, the following processing methods can be selected according to the
program option setting.
(1) Automatic data copy
When the version of the center file stored in the Master Terminal is different from that stored in the
Backup Master Terminal, registration jobs are automatically prohibited, the backup data is properly
exchanged. While updating the backup data, each inquiry from the terminals may result in a
“MASTER IS BUSY” error.
(2) Manual data copy
When the version of the center file stored in the Master Terminal is different from that of data stored in
the Backup Master Terminal, the Master Terminal gives a short beep at the timing of issuing the long
receipt to warn that the data is not backed up properly. The operator should update the backup data
manually.
