When i bought my business the register had two of the % keys set as a $1.00 and a fifty cent discount key and I recently had to reset the register and reprogram and I can not figure out how to do this does anyone have any advice for me.

not in the office right now, will post defintive later - then not in the office for a week, not ignoring you!

need to know if the discount is applicable to an item or the entire sale

secondly is the value of the discount a percentage, a pre set bpercentage, a preset monitary value or an open monitary value?

again, all these choices affect the advice i can give you.

please be aware that in order to help you in the next 24 hrs, i will need a reply urgently - failing that, i will be unavailable until 25th August - not ignoring you but no access to pc [the wife will kill me if i take it on holiday!]

It is a set monetary value per item So $1.00 off on one item.

FIRST TURN THE KEY TO S MODE & TYPE 70 INTO SUB TOTAL
NEXT, TYPE 133 INTO %1 & 134 INTO %2
press cash to finalise

Then turn the key to pgm
type 70 into subtotal
enter 10040 into each of the %buttons press cash to finish

finally, set the rate:
Still in pgm, enter 90 into the sub total button
enter 100 into the dollar discount
and 50 into the half dollar discount
press cash to complete then turn to reg and test!
