Line Buster (RF
Point-of-Sale) |
The following procedure explains how to
use Line Buster to create an order or estimate. Security bit 643
is required to access this application. Once a transaction is
completed, a tag prints with a barcode that identifies the transaction.
When the customer proceeds to the checkout counter with the tag,
the cashier simply scans the barcode to retrieve the transaction
and complete it. Note that Line Buster can only create the transaction;
it can’t recall it or invoice it.
Important: Anytime
the RF application refers to using the "CTL" or "CTRL"
key, the Pocket PC model gun keystroke is <SHIFT><FUNC>. |

If
you are using the RF printer in a wireless mode, do the following
before entering the first transaction: with your cursor in
the SKU field, scan the barcode label on the printer. This
will link the printer and allow printing the receipt or sticker
at the end of the order. You only need to do this once per
RF session (not before every transaction).

KEYLIST |
CTL

This allows you to enter
a percent discount. Press Control-1 after entering the

by pressing Function-6. |

This clears the current item
if it hasn't been posted. |
CTL 9 (VOID) |
This allows

an item—
i.e. you can't change its quantity; instead, you must
void the item and re-enter it correctly. |
FUNC

This totals the transaction. |
FUNC

This returns you to the posting
mode, where you can enter more items, void items, total

This displays a list of special

Pressing Clear returns you to the posting screen, in case you
have more items to post. You can also press Void at this point
if you decide to void the transaction.
The customer can now proceed to checkout,

by scanning the barcode while the cursor is in the Customer field. |

If you want
to void a line, you must either know the line number of the
item to be voided, or enter the review mode and press <Next>
to obtain the line number.
You can’t
sell Tally 1 or Tally 2 SKUs in RF Point-of-Sale.
If you go
out of range with the RF and it "kills" the transaction,
you need to go into Eagle for Windows POS/Order Entry and
"release" the transaction by using Menu option X,
"Recover in-process transactions."
Security in RF Point-of-Sale is limited
in that there are no warning messages such as "credit limit
exceeded" or "manager’s override required." |
