The following program description deals with:
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:
This paragraph will provide a short overview over the options available for updating these Basic Data.
Just like in almost any other program:
Permitted input range: numeric, 1 - 9999
Select the number of the company to which the terminal type should be assigned.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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:
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.
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:
Field with firmly defined selection options

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.
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.
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.
Permitted input range: numeric, 1 - 999
If your System works with Cash recycler (Glory), the cash recycler parameters must be assigned to the terminal type.
Notes:
This field will be displayed only, if the environment variable
OSCAR_OPTIONS=GloryCa has been set in the file oscar.ini.
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.
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.
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.
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

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.
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:
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.
Entry range permitted: numeric, 1 - 99999999
