The display choice is between an integrated 1 line display, which fits in
the back of the machines, or the remote 2 line display which can be
connected through a printer on the 850 or 880, or can be connected
direct to the UP5700.

Auto loyalty is the next selection. The machine has in built loyalty
function the auto loyalty set to yes will automatically prompt the server to
swipe the loyalty card.

These machines can be fitted with a magnetic card reader for use with
the loyalty cards.

The loyalty function on these machines can work in the following ways
first the card to be swiped can be a straight forward discount card, for
example you could set up the machines to give 10% discount on the
transaction if the loyalty card is swiped.

The other method is more sophisticated. The machines can be set up
so that  the customers card details, together with the transaction details,
can be sent to a file, this file would then be used within an external
software package to monitor products purchased and amounts spent by
the customers. It could then be used for example to reward the
customer with points.

The loyalty could simultaneously give a discount, as well as writing
details to a file, for the software package.

The scroll time on this screen, refers to the amount of time in seconds,
If the server has not used the machine for that length of time then the
scrolling message will appear on the 2 line remote display.
The text to be displayed can be entered in another area.

There is a selection for consolidated printing.
The consolidated printing also includes sorted printing.
You will remember that each product is assigned to a type such as
mains, or starters and so on. The consolidation will group these types
together and also print them under headers, printing the starters
products first, followed by the mains products and so on no matter in
what sequence they are sold.
