Terminal Type

The following program description deals with:

Remarks on the Program Function

By use of this program you can maintain the data for the terminal type, i.e. create, edit or delete records. You can also display previously saved data for information purposes.

As a result of the extensive parameter settings for this program the data has been divided up into the following groups:

Add. data 1
Hospitality
Declared entry / Float

Add. data 2
Other options 1
Other options 2
Smart Touch

Add. data 3
Customers / Sales

The terminal type is registered after installation and specification of the company. Before you create a terminal, the terminal type must be defined, i.e. the kind of terminal. A variety of functions are thereby controlled, and are later invoked while working at the terminal. In addition, access authorisation rights to applications are defined via a profile for the terminals of this type.

Note:

Remarks on the Input Fields

This paragraph will provide a short overview over the options available for updating these Basic Data.

Just like in almost any other program:

Company

Permitted input range: numeric, 1 - 9999

Select the number of the company to which the terminal type should be assigned.

Terminal type

Permitted input range: numeric, 1 - 9999

Enter the number to be saved for this terminal type in the system.

Any valid unused number can be entered in the Key Field for a new terminal. You can find the next new number by pressing field "Clear Mask" to clear the screen. Then press the search key in the toolbar to display all previously registered terminal types.

To make changes or deletions, retrieve the record by entering appropriate numbers in the indicated key fields. If you do not know a number, you can also select the data record via the Search Function.

Descriptor

Permitted input range: max. 20 alphanumeric characters

Enter the name for a terminal in this field. The descriptor  wording is arbitrary, but should be meaningful (e.g. waiter terminal, itemizing terminal).

EAN check digit

Permitted input range: numeric

If a check digit calculation is performed for input of item numbers, you can enter the starting digit to be checked in this field.

Example:
Enter 9 if no check digit calculation is required for an 8-digit EAN.

Drawer timer

Permitted input range: numeric, 0 - 999

Enter the time in seconds that the cash drawer can be open without a warning message from the system.

Declared entry diff.

Permitted input range: decimal, max. 12 digits including max. 2 decimal places

You can specify here the difference tolerance for declared input. If the value entered here is exceeded, then the system sends a warning message. Enter 0.00 in this field if you want exact agreement between calculated value and declared input.

The difference entered here applies to a single payment type if the DiffIsForAllPaym parameter in the runDeclEntry.fgl file is set to 0. If this parameter is set to 1, then the difference in this field refers to the sum total of all payment types entered. However, this is valid only for declared input at the office terminal.

Note:

Drawer Limit

Permitted input range: decimal, max. 12 digits including max. 2 decimal places

Enter the amount for the transfer out limit. When the cash in the operator’s drawer exceeds this limit, the terminal sends the message "Transfer out!!!"

Attention!
A prerequisite for verifying the drawer limit is to activate the toggle "Check transfer out" in "Add data 1" of this program. The Terminal has to operate in itemizing mode.

Receipt mode

Field with preset selection options

Select one of the options offered by the system in the dropdown box. The default setting is collect receipt, i.e. all items are printed on one receipt.

You can select the following the types of receipts:

  1. Collect receipt
  2. Single receipt
  3. Itemizing receipt

Fast Food Type

Field with firmly defined selection options

Select the type of fast food here if this terminal system should operate in fast food mode.

You can select the following the fast food types:

  1. None
  2. Standard
  3. SSP
  4. OCM

Note:
Note that types 2 and 3 are permitted only when the Itemizing Receipt posting mode and the Itemizing Terminal option are configured for this terminal type. You will receive an error message for any deviating settings.

 Click on the image for further help on how to setup a Fast Food system.

Profile No.

Permitted input range: numeric, 0 - 999

This is the number of the Profile Text that should be assigned to the terminal type.

Note:
Pay attention that a terminal type profile has priority over the operator profile.

Code Table No.

Permitted input range: numeric, 1 - 9999

You can assign a code table number to a terminal type in this field. The meaning of code tables and their maintenance is described at Code Table Maintenance.

Item Table No.

Permitted input range: numeric, 1 - 99

If Keyboard Tables are set up in your system, they must be assigned to the terminal types. This occurs when you enter the corresponding numbers. The assignment is unique, i.e. only one table can be assigned to a terminal type.

Note:
Item nos. which have been linked to a preset key are entered in the keyboard table. This link allows the user to record up to four different items if the <SHIFT> key is used.

Cash Rec. Param.

Permitted input range: numeric, 1 - 999

If your System works with Cash recycler (DPS / Glory), the cash recycler parameters must be assigned to the terminal type.

Notes:
This field will be displayed only, if the environment variables OSCAR_OPTIONS=DPS or GloryCa has been set in the file oscar.ini.

Change Date at

Permitted input range: HHMMSS (hour, minute, second)

The posting date is retrieved at every logoff (SIGNOFF). Otherwise this retrieval is performed if the terminal is signed on, receipts are not being itemized and no posting activities occur for 5 minutes.

1. Time is not 00:00:00

This field is preset to 06:00 by default. It is directly linked to the current date is book date checkbox in the Profit Center maintenance program.

2. Time is 00:00:00

If you enter 00:00 in this field, then the system time of the server is always applied. The client time is not retrieved. The posting date of the server is also applied. Therefore, a different day (previous or next) than the system date can be posted at the client if the new day checkbox is not selected.

The posting date of the client is updated every 5-minutes if no activities occur and the system is not itemizing receipts.

You can find further information about booking activities at Booking Periods. An example for a waiter can be found at Booking Periods Waiter.

Auto Sign-on Operator

Entry range permitted: numeric, 1 - 99999999

A number entry is required in this field to identify an authorised operator so that this operator can be signed on automatically at the terminal.

Automatic sign-on of an operator is necessary, for example, for terminals which operate in mode "Scale server".

 

Note:
Operating mode "Scale server" is only possible if option "ScaleSrv" has been set.

 

 Click on the graphic for further help with setting up a Scale server.

With defect printer

Field with firmly defined selection options

The reaction of the terminal if the printer is defect can be parametered here.

The following settings are possible:

Note:
This function is only supported by printers whose device drivers do not need a special routine for handling printer errors. This normally applies to Epson printers, i.e. these parameters may not work on other manufacturers’ printers.

Info Address

Permitted input range: max. 40 alphanumeric characters

Enter the help file name that should be called in the terminal program by the HELPINFO key event.

This help file provides general assistance on specific topics about sales terminal functions to the terminal operator. These help files must be in HTML format (*.html).

The name of the help file can also contain a path designation (complete address = URL) if the help files are saved in a different directory or another computer.

If a path name is not designated, the system searches for the file in the default directory (e.g. help.english) of MICROS Retail OSCAR POS online help.

We recommend that you create a new directory (e.g. TerminalInfo\HelpInfo) for the help files to be called by the HELPINFO function at the sales terminal. The hyperlinks in these help files should be saved as direct links.

The example above invokes the HelpInfo.html file in the \help.Deutsch\TerminalInfo\ directory.

You can find further information about configuring terminal help in the following documents:

Search level

Field with firmly defined selection options

The search level at which the item search is to begin with key event "FINDART" is defined with this parameter. The organisation levels to which the items are linked can be used as the search level.

The following search levels are offered:

The prerequisite for link of search levels for the key function "FINDART" is that the appropriate organisation steps are stored in the system. If there are no main sectors reserved in the system, this search level cannot be linked here. In such a case, the terminal would issue the error message "Nothing in selection".

Note:
Further help on key event "FINDART" can be found at Keys and booking functions.

Search limit

Entry range permitted: numeric, 1 - 99999999

Enter a value in this field to limit the number of items to be displayed with function "FINDART".

The standard entry for function "FINDART" at the terminal is a maximum of 100 items. The standard value can be overwritten in this field.
