Register Properties

Register number

A unique number identifying the register.

Description

A description of the register, e.g. Lane 1.

Default price level

If your store uses different price levels, use this option to set the default price level to use at this register, e.g., Price A. If a cashier adds an item that does not have the price level defined, POS uses the standard price.

POS task pad

If your store uses task pads, select the POS task pad assigned to the register. Select Use Classic View if you are not using a task pad at the register. The cashier will instead see the custom buttons panel along the right side of the screen. Refer to Configure custom POS task pads for more information.

Sales Receipts

Select one of the following options:

  • Do not print receipt: No sales receipts will be printed at this register.

  • Print automatically after each transaction: Sales receipts will print for every transaction at this register.

  • Print only after asking cashier: For every transaction at this register the cashier will be prompted to ask the customer if they want a printed receipt or not. If you select this option, the change due for cash transactions will also display in the receipt prompt dialog. This helps cashiers provide change while at the same time asking the customer if they want a receipt for their transaction.

Gift Receipts

Select one of the following options:

  • Do not print receipt: No gift receipts will be printed at this register.

  • Print automatically after each transaction: Gift receipts will print for every transaction at this register.
