Hi . . .so sorry about this . . . I'm new to the cafe business, and I have acquired this old uniwell electronic till. It's all programmed for the previous owner. Obviously I want to re-program it for our new café. I've got the UX-43F Operations Manual and the UX-43F Programmer's Manual, and even with them I can't figure out what I need to do to re-set and re-create the PLUs. Ideally I would like to program it via a computer interface, but unfortunately, I'm exclusively a Mac person, and have little PC capacity. So I imagine that I shall need to program the machine from within itself -- anyway, I expect that the RS232C interface (that I imagine is on the UX-43F somewhere) is scarcely available on PCs these days, but I do have an older PC laptop which I could conceivably use with PLM2000 and/or the butler software mentioned in this forum. I don't mind if it's laborious, I just hope that this programming is feasible . . . but the instructions in the Programming Manual are not at all clear, so I don't know where or how to start. I'd have thought the Programming Manual would have simple instructions, but it's all in a kind of flow diagram, followed by tables which I cannot decipher.

Also, the keys in the flat keyboard layout shown in the Programming Manual are not quite the same as the designations that I have been given in the keyboard template on the machine. So it looks like the keyboard layout has been changed.

Sorry this is so vague . . . are there any ideas out there as to how I can expedite to our new business requirements? It looks like I shall have to find a Uniwell reseller/service centre in Newcastle upon Tyne, which is okay, but I would like the option to reprogram different PLUs without going back to the service engineer all the time. I'm definitely at a dead end so any advice will be very much appreciated. I've thrown my hands in the air now and asked support@uniwell.co.uk for assistance in finding a service centre locally.

Many many thanks for any help out there!

cheers

Hi,

I could easiliy help you through programming whatever you need on this machine, are you able to be infront of the machine one night to guide you through it or are you only there during the day?

If not I could sort somekind of step by step instructions for you to have a go at in your own time.

Let me know what you think.

Thank you.

I have the same register and am trying to reprogram and change business name as well. Any chance I could get those instructions you mentioned, as well. Thanks, it would be a great help.

To change the logo on a UX43 is simple.

Key to SP
Type in 122
Press X
Type in the logo line number (1 to 5 for the upper logo and 6 to 8 for the lower logo)
Press . (decimal point)
Type in your new logo description
Press ENTER
Press X to go into the next line down or
Clear
Clear

You have 24 characters available per line so if you want to centre the logo you will need to use the space bar to space out the logo. This will make sence when you do it.

Key round to R and check the print out. Remember the reciept header is printed after the last receipt so the 1st logo will not be correct.



Good luck!!!
