INTRODUCTION
OVERVIEW
The Sharp UP Series Terminals were designed primarily for the leisure and hospitality businesses, although
they may be utilised quite happily in a retail store situation because of its scanning capability.  The terminals
have PC capability using MS-DOS and can be connected to another PC using an RS232 cable or PC Network
Card, or used in stand-alone mode as a PC.  This manual describes the file and system configuration functions
which set up and control the terminal operations. 
It is strongly recommended that these functions are not maintained on the master terminal during trading
sessions.  The slave terminals are updated as part of the Open Session function on the terminals, therefore if
changes are made, the master terminal will be the only terminal using the latest files until the next open session
is performed.
There is the option to connect a PC keyboard to the master terminal itself and carry out the maintenance
functions.  Alternatively, you can update the files on a PC and transfer the files, using the terminal loading
software.
The file maintenance functions enable you to set up and maintain the products you offer to your customers,
server information, tables, and the keyboard layout on the terminals etc.  Barcodes can be set up, and assigned
to products on the product file.  This enables you to register products at the terminal using the barcodes printed
on the packaging.  A barcode scanner may be connected to the terminal in order to facilitate this.  Keyboard
macros can be set up so that the user can press one button to perform several key depressions.  There is the
facility to set up groups and departments, which provide a way of classifying products for terminal reporting
purposes.
Single products or lists of products can be assigned to specific key positions on the terminal keyboard.  When
the server presses the key, the relevant sale can be recorded quickly and easily.  Lists of functions, servers,
payment types, macros or even other lists can also be set up on keys in order to make maximum use of the
available keyboard space.
Lists also provide a way of establishing set menus (condiments) for a set price.  For example, pizza, garlic bread
and soft drink for 2.99.  The main product is set up as a "condiment" type with the price and the other products
use normal product types, but their prices are not used when selected as part of a condiment.  A "dummy"
product type is also available for a condiment item which will not be selected until later, for example, a dessert.
This ensures that the "free" dessert cannot be selected unless the main item has already been selected.  The
products are then assigned to lists which are linked to form a chain for selection.  Another use of linked lists is
to enable the server to enter all the elements required for a kitchen order for example, cooking instructions for
steaks, or flavours of ice creams.
The system configuration functions provide the parameters and controls you want to operate on the system and
may only be available to dealers and systems support personnel.  The functions include the modifier keys,
payment types and limits, function control, currencies and their exchange rates, and parameters to configure
the printers, terminals, and system.  Messages and other information you want to print on receipts, customer
bills, and a customer display can also be entered.  Up to three "Happy Hour" periods, and nine promotional
periods, may be set up on the system as special prices.  At the appropriate time on the appropriate days the
system will automatically start to sell the products at the specified special price when selected on the terminal.
Prices will be returned to the normal selling price automatically at the end of the identified period.  The system
will also support up to fifty mix and match offers.  The offers may be activated at the terminal for a specific
period of time, and may be used to reward the customer for purchasing a pre-determined quantity and value of
a particular product or products.
