tender exceeds the amount due, the sale is finalized and change due is displayed.
Training Operation
Training operations do not add to PLU or function key totals. This allows an operator to

operations, designate one of the clerks for training. You must clear (Z) the register before
the training clerk can be used. When that clerk is signed on, the register is in “training

Void
A void operation will erase a previous item entry. It must be used inside of a sale only.
