Frequently asked questions The software "Cash Register” and this manual copyright by Dale Harris, 2001 – 2011 THIS SOFTWARE IS NOT WARRANTED TO DO ANYTHING The author of this software (Dale Harris) does not give either an implicit or implied guarantee that this software will perform any function or be suitable to any purpose whatsoever. The author further states that it is solely up to the user to determine if the use of this software and the data it generates will conform to any laws or regulations of any local, state, or federal governments or taxing bodies. The author may not be held liable for any programming errors in the software or for non- notification to the user of any software errors known or unknown by the author. This software and any support for this software may be discontinued at any time without prior notice. By using this software the user assumes all liability for the use of this software." a DO NOT READ THIS MANUAL! If you are familiar with cash registers and computers the software itself has enough instructions that you can figure out just about everything. However for those of you who like to see things in ink, here is a bunch of ink. OVERVIEW TWO PURPOSES! This cash register software has a split personality. It is designed to be extremely easy to set up and ring sales, or do a heavy duty job of tracking everything that goes on in your store. Since YOU have to enter the information about your store to track that information, and tell the register what you want it to do, it can't be both very easy to set up and heavy duty at the same time. "Difficult" is a relative term. To get the most out of this software you will not have to code anything, learn weird formats, or jump through hoops. Basically you will just have to answer a bunch of questions and fill in a lot of information, i.e., if you are tracking 600 different items in your store, you will have to tell the program about them. Are you using a printer? Great, tell the program about it. On the other hand if you just want to have a cash register for a garage sale, or a ticket booth, etc. then load the program, fill in your tax rates (if any), and ring up sales. How can I make it easier than that? What this program will not do. This program WILL NOT validate credit cards, require you to use a mouse or any pointing device, or cost you anything, it's FREE. ============= A pathetic plea for HELP! ============== While this program is free that does not mean that you cannot help the cause. If you have a web site how about mentioning that you use the program and link to http://keyhut.com/pos.htm If you write software you may want to write a 'helper' program like those listed at http://keyhut.com/3rdparty.htm. If you have surplus POS hardware like receipt printers, pole displays, scanners, cash drawers, etc. rather than throwing it away how about sending it to the address below so I an use it for testing. As a last resort if this software has saved your business, sanity, and hundreds or thousands of dollars how about mailing $5.00 to… Dale Harris, 5654 N. Olcott, Chicago, IL 60631, USA Or you can PayPal $5.00 to [email protected] This program will work with the following equipment. Any IBM or compatible computer running any version of DOS or any version of Windows. For 64 bit computers see the special instructions near the end of this manual. The program itself will print receipts on almost any printer (computer printers and receipt printers) that connects to the computer through the parallel printer port except some Epson Color Stylus printers. Serial printers may work on computers running under DOS or Windows 3.1 to Windows '98. Windows 2000, ME, XT, and NT do not generally support DOS programs that try to use the serial port. 1 If you have Windows '95 or later you may now print through Windows using the Windows printer drivers. This means that any printer that Windows can print to, this program can also print to. Read the instructions in "Printer setup" to use this feature. Cash drawers connected to a receipt printer will function assuming that the receipt printer itself functions. (See #2, above.) SOME cash drawers attached to your computer through the serial printer port will function. All barcode scanners of the "keyboard wedge" type and most USB scanners will function. Many scanners connected through the serial printer port will function. “Logic Controls” pole displays have been tested to work with this program. Others may also work as long as they plug into a serial port on your computer. What this program will do. This program will convert any IBM or compatible personal computer into a fully functional cash register. If you have a network this program can run multiple registers at the same time that will share data files. This program will print receipts on almost any printer. This includes regular computer printers or specialized cash register printers. If your printer is connected to the regular parallel printer port you should have no problems. If your printer connects through a serial port it may be possible to configure this program to directly print on the printer. BUT SERIAL PRINTERS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE WITH THIS SOFTWARE. If your printer is connected to a USB port you can print by using the APRINT program that comes with this software. If you are using Windows '95 or later you may configure this program to use the Windows printer drivers to print on any printer that Windows can. You may choose to print receipts either 40 or 80 characters wide. You may choose to print either one or two copies of each receipt with an optional extra receipt for credit sales. If you can connect two printers to your computer, this program can print receipts to one printer and reports to the other. If you have a cash register printer and cash drawer combination or a cash drawer connected to your computer through a serial port this program will open the cash drawer at the end of a sale. This program will print a header and footer on each receipt. You may program it to print up to three coupons on receipts. This program will optionally save the journal on disk as a text file. This program will keep track of up to 26,000 different items. For each item it will keep track of a 14 digit stock number, 24 character description, regular price, sale price, tax rate, pieces sold, dollars sold, pieces in inventory, merchandise category, vendor, model stock, warehouse pack, cost and vendor stock number. During a sale you may look up items in the stock table using search features. This program will keep track of the sales of up to 56 employees. 2 This program will print sales reports based on total sales, employee, category, vendor, or a combination of these factors. Reports are printed based on current sales or sales history. Reports can be printed on a printer, saved to disk as a text file or saved to disk as a data file that can then be loaded into your database or spreadsheet software. This program will record up to the last 10,000 transactions and will display any of them on screen at any time. Only sales in this record, and from the current day, may be voided. This program will accept customer information (name, address, phone, etc.) and record it on disk and/or print it on receipts. You may export this information to your printer or to a data file that you can then load into any word processing, database, or spread sheet software. This program will park up to 255 in-progress sales to ring up a new sale. And of course it will ring up sales and refunds. It will allow you to include discounts, reductions and coupons into your sales. It will print a daily sales report at the end of the day and reset the sales figures for tomorrow. This program will not tie up your computer. While it can be used as an "always on" cash register you can also exit the program at any time without resetting any sales or merchandise totals.

  • (Automated Teller Machine) and Debit Cards Is Rising. ATM Cards Have A
    Consumer Decision Making Contest 2001-2002 Study Guide ATM/Debit Cards The popularity of ATM (automated teller machine) and debit cards is rising. ATM cards have a longer history than debit cards, but the National Consumers League estimates that two-thirds of American households are likely to have debit cards by the end of 2000. It is expected that debit cards will rival cash and checks as a form of payment. In the future, “smart cards” with embedded computer chips may replace ATM, debit and credit cards. Single-purpose smart cards can be used for one purpose, like making a phone call, or riding mass transit. The smart card keeps track of how much value is left on your card. Other smart cards have multiple functions - serve as an ATM card, a debit card, a credit card and an electronic cash card. While this Study Guide will not discuss smart cards, they are on the horizon. Future consumers who understand how to select and use ATM and debit cards will know how to evaluate the features and costs of smart cards. ATM and Debit Cards and How They Work Electronic banking transactions are now a part of the American landscape. ATM cards and debit cards play a major role in these transactions. While ATM cards allow us to withdraw cash to meet our needs, debit cards allow us to by-pass the use of cash in point-of-sale (POS) purchases. Debit cards can also be used to withdraw cash from ATM machines. Both types of plastic cards are tied to a basic transaction account, either a checking account or a savings account.

    F&B SEURVNITICE- M5 ASALESNAGEM ENT CONTROL CH: 1. PROCEDURE OF CASH CONTROL CH: 1. PROCEDURE OF CASH CONTROL Cash control is a process that is utilized to verify the complete nature and accurate recording of all cash that is received as well as any cash disbursements that take place. As a broad principle of responsible financial accounting, cash control takes place in an environment where goods and services are bought and sold. As such, businesses, non-profit organizations and households all employ the basicof cash control. QP: Food & Beverage Service Management –B.Sc. in H.H.A CH: 1. PROCEDURE OF CASH CONTROL To fully understand cash control, it is helpful to understand what is meant by cash, when it comes to financial accounting. Along with referring to currency and coin, cash is also understood to include forms of financial exchange like money orders, credit card receipts, and checks. Essentially, any type of financial exchange that can be immediately negotiated for a fixed value qualifies as cash. Cash control means competently managing all these types of financial instruments by maintaining an accurate tracking system that accounts for both receiving and disbursing the cash. Designing a cash control process is not difficult at all. There are a few basic elements that will be incorporated into the process regardless of whether the cash control procedure is used in the home or in an office or business environment. QP: Food & Beverage Service Management –B.Sc. in H.H.A CH: 1. PROCEDURE OF CASH CONTROL First, all transactions related to cash must be documented and recorded immediately.
