2. CLERK OPERATIONS
2-1. Clerk systems
ECR is used under one of the following clerk systems (programmed by your Uniwell reseller before delivery);
Interrupt system
Allows clerks to interrupt one another during the middle of sale so that several customers may be handled
at the same time on the same terminal. Individual clerk keys (maximum 16) can be assigned to the
keyboard for single touch sign-on operation.
Floating interrupt system
Same as above but also allows clerks to serve the same customer from any terminal in the network.
For example, sign on at one terminal and register a lemonade, log off.
Sign on another terminal at the other end of the bar and register a lager then sign off.
Normal clerk system - Or 'non-interrupt' or 'non-floating' clerk system.
Clerk sign-on is compulsory at the start of each sale. A clerk must finalize or store their sale and sign off
before another clerk can sign on.
2-2. Signing on a clerk
A clerk must be signed on before starting a sale. Check that the control key is turned to R position. There are
two standard methods by which you can sign on a clerk:
a) Using hard clerk keys
Up to 16 clerks can have their own personal key. To sign on a clerk simply press one of the HARD
CLERK keys, the name of the clerk will be displayed at the top of the screen. The clerk is now signed on
and it is possible to register items.
When using an interrupt system, if another HARD CLERK key is pressed when a clerk is already signed
on, then that first clerk will be signed off and his transaction is stored. The clerks may be set so that after a
certain period of time the clerk is automatically signed off by [SF-17.E-A].
b) Using secret clerk codes
By using the secret clerk codes it is possible to use up to 255 clerks.
1. Enter the secret clerk code.
2. Press CLERK (ID) key.
The clerk is signed onto the machine. If CLERK (ID) key is pressed again, the clerk is signed off.
