SAM4S Cash Register ER-5115 User Manual

The activity counter keeps track of the number of times an entry is made on a PLU, or function key. 

Refers to the total of all negative sale transactions. 

Although often used interchangeably, the terms 'clerk' and 'cashier' have separate meanings.   



Sales clerks are individuals who are responsible for selling the merchandise to the 
customer.  A clerk may or may not actually operate the cash register (a cashier might 
ring sales for many different clerks).  Typically, management wants to know 
merchandise sales levels for each clerk, in order to monitor productivity and/or pay 
commissions.   



Cashiers actually operate the cash register, and are usually held responsible for cash, 
checks, and other media in the cash drawer.  When new cashier begins operations, the 
drawer is usually counted so that responsibility can be shifted to another cashier.  Or, 
when two cashiers are operating the same cash register at the same time, an optional 
second cash drawer can be installed so that each cashier can be held individually 
accountable. 

In many establishments, clerks and cashiers perform similar functions.  Cashiers can be clerks; clerks 
are often cashiers.   

When an operation is programmed compulsory, a function (i.e. Non-add number entry) must be 
performed in order to complete the operation. 

A count appears at the bottom of each receipt and after each transaction on the journal tape.  This 
count increases by one with each transaction, report, or scan.
