PERCENT KEY ([%])
This key is programmed as a [%-] (Percent Discount) or [% + ] (Percent
Charge) key according to the store’s requirement.
Percent Discount Key ([%-])
This key is used to enter a discount calculated on a percent rate. When
this key is depressed after a department item, the discount is calculated
on the preset or manually entered rate and subtracted from the
department item amount. This key can also be operated in the same
way after depressing the
[ST] key if the percent discounting is performed
for the entire sale total.
A percent rate can be preset on this key; however, if another rate is
entered through the numeric keyboard prior to the depression of the [%-]
key, the entered rate prevails. The preset rate will be applied by a
simple depression of the [%-] key.
The percent discount is effective only once for each department item and
any number of times for the subtotal.
A percent discounting is allowed even on a returned merchandise item
entry, but not on a negative subtotal entry.
The [%-] (or [% + ]) key is fixed with the non-taxable status, i.e. the
amount subject to the % calculation is the pre-taxed amount. However,
when the [%-] key must function with the taxable status (i.e. when the
amount subject to the % calculation must be post-taxed amount),
depress the
[TX/M] key prior to the [%-] key depression. Then the
status of the [%-] key is reversed from non-taxable to taxable for one
entry only.
Percent Charge Key ([% + ])
This key operates the same as the [%-] key, except that the [% + ] key
will add the calculated amount to instead of subtracting from the item or
the subtotal.
QUANTITY EXTENSION (MULTIPLICATION) KEY ([X])
This key is used to multiply a department entry by a quantity.
The multiplication order is:
QUANTITY X UNIT PRICE
A maximum of 3 digits for the QUANTITY and a maximum of 6 digits for the
UNIT PRICE are allowed. The product must not exceed 7 digits.
