3 Intr oduction The UP-820F/UP-820N inter-register communication (IRC) system consists of one master machine and up to 31 satellite machines which are all interconnected by the local area network (LAN) to provide data transmission among them. This system allows the manager to exercise centralized control over the satellites through the master. • [...]

Select “CLOSE STORE” from the OPXZ mode window and press the e key. • You[...]

8 In the IRC system, the following two types of clerk file systems are available: a centralized system and an individual system. In the centralized clerk file system, the master manages transaction data on clerks within the IRC system. In the individual clerk file system, each machine manages its clerk transaction data. In choosing the type of cler[...]

9 1) When the clerk signs on at a machine other than the one used in his or her previous operation: In this case, the overlapped clerk data is sent from the master to the satellite (transfer of overlapped clerk data). 2) When the clerk signs on at the same satellite as the one used in his or her previous operation: In this case, no data transfer oc[...]

10 The sign-on operation is intended to assign a clerk to a machine (satellite/master) and enable him or her to make registrations at the machine. If a clerk successfully signs on at a machine, his or her clerk code appears on the LCD of the machine. Sign-on procedure (This procedure is the same as for clerk assignment at a standalone machine.) Cle[...]

11 A clerk sign-on report can be generated at the master. This report is used to know which clerks have signed on at which machines. Report generation procedure 1. Enter the PGM2 mode from the mode selection window. 2. Select “READING” and press the e key. The READING window will appear. 3. Select “INLINE CONFIG” and press the e key. The IN[...]

12 The sign-off operation is intended to cancel the assignment of a clerk to a machine and terminate his or her registration operation.

You cannot generate an individual clerk report f[...]

34 (2) Individual clerk file system In this system, you can generate full or individual clerk consolidated X or Z reports at the master only. At each machine, you can generate an individual X or Z report on transactions made by an individual clerk or clerks assigned to the machine. If the system has no save file, the clerk for whom an individual Z [...]

35 The cashier file management method in the IRC system employs a non-centralized or individual system. A cashier who is assigned to a machine can carry out registrations and other operations at that machine. In this system, you can generate full or individual cashier consolidated X or Z reports at the master only. At each machine, you can generate[...]

36 Each machine can be programmed to enable the Compulsory Cash/Check Declaration (CCD) function. This function compels the operator to enter the cash/check amount in the drawer just before either an individual clerk/cashier Z report or a general Z report is printed.
