Cash Register Operation
The Access Services Department accepts payments for a number of services and products, such as photocopier cards, print credits, library fines, fax transmissions, and transparencies to name a few.
Payments are made in cash, or by cheque or by debit/credit card. Faculty and staff may also charge their expenses to their departmental accounts by using a Budget Line form. All such transactions are recorded in the cash register (presently a Sharp ER-A320).
The Register is capable of many complex functions that are useful in commercial retail establishments. Our needs are much simpler, and so only those functions and features routinely used in the department are described here.
The Register has four sets of keypads: Functions, Numeric, Categories, and Payment Modes. Only the keys that we use regularly are enabled.
