Remarks on program function
The data for Scales can be updated, i.e. programmed, changed or cleared, with this program. Data which has already been stored can also be displayed for information.
The interface and link to a processing unit should be defined for the scales and the device-specific operating mode set.
The MICROS Retail OSCAR POS program supports connection of single scales and a scales ring.
Click on the
graphic for further help with programming a Scales ring.
Remarks on data fields
The following description deals with all available options for update of this basic data.
As with nearly all other programs the following also applies here:
- The entry mask for this program may differ in your MICROS Retail OSCAR POS program. Some data fields may be missing.
- There may be defaults or firmly defined selection options for some data fields. These cannot be updated in the current program.
- Fields with enforced entry defined are to be found in the entry masks as are fields where entry is optional.
- If the data record is updated over several pages of entry masks, the dialog window is reached by clicking on the appropriate button with <Mouse key 1>.
- The same procedure also applies to call up of another update program from this program.
- In some cases you may find so-called "Switches" which are activated or deactivated by the user with <Mouse key 1>, depending on the setting. Activated switches have a dark top, deactivated switches are lighter.
