Introduction

The UP-3500 inter-register communication (IRC) system consists of one master machine and up to 31

satellite machines which are all interconnected by the local area network (LAN) to provide data transmission

among them. This system allows the manager to exercise centralized control over the satellites through the

master.

LAN

2. Open store operation (OPXZ mode) – master and satellite

When the open store operation is performed at the master, the IRC system is opened. POS can send AT

command by this job. This function controls a modem, but doesn't have control over registration and T-LOG.

The procedure for the open store operation is as follows.

Open store procedure

Select “7 OPEN STORE” from the displayed menu in the OPXZ mode window.

• You can also perform the open store operation at each satellite.

• The open store operation cannot be performed at any machines whose terminal numbers have

not been programmed.

NOTE

• When a transmission error occurs while the open store operation is being performed, the open

store operation is regarded as normally terminated if the system retry function* has been

disabled by programming. When the master has been programmed to enable the system retry

function, it displays the machine number of the satellite that has encountered the error.

Selecting the displayed machine number will display a prompt to retry the open store operation.

* For the system retry function, see pages 55–56.

3. Close store operation (OPXZ mode) – master and satellite

When the close store operation is performed at the master, the IRC system is closed. POS can send AT

command by this job. This function controls a modem, but doesn’t have control over registration and T-LOG.

The procedure for the close store operation is as follows.

Close store procedure

Select “8 CLOSE STORE” from the displayed menu in the OPXZ mode window.

• You can also perform the close store operation at each satellite.

• When the close store operation is performed, the data remaining in the T-LOG buffers of all the

satellites is collected by the master.

NOTE

• When a transmission error occurs during the close store operation, the operation is regarded

as normally terminated if the system retry function* has been disabled by programming. When

the master has been programmed to enable the system retry function, it displays the machine

number of the satellite that has encountered the error. Selecting the displayed machine

number will display a prompt to retry the close store operation.

* For the system retry function, see pages 55–56.

4. Clerk system

In the IRC system, the following two types of clerk file systems are available: a centralized system and an

individual system. In the centralized clerk file system, the master manages transaction data on clerks within

the IRC system. In the individual clerk file system, each machine manages its clerk transaction data.

In choosing the type of clerk system, consult your authorized SHARP dealer.

(1) Centralized clerk file system

Centralized clerk file system – without the overlapped clerk function

In this system, each clerk file is under the centralized control of the master and programming for clerks has

to be done only at the master. When a clerk signs on at a satellite, a communication between the satellite

and the master will begin.

Centralized clerk file system

– with the overlapped clerk function and without overlapped clerk save files

In this system, each overlapped clerk file is under the centralized control of the master and programming for

clerks has to be done only at the master. When a clerk signs on at a satellite, a communication between the

satellite and the master will begin.

When the clerk signs off, the overlapped clerk data is transferred to the master and saved in its overlapped

clerk file.

Centralized clerk file system

– with the overlapped clerk function and overlapped clerk save files

In this system, each overlapped clerk file is under the centralized control of the master and programming for

clerks has to be done only at the master. The way data flows differs depending on whether or not the clerk

signs on at the same satellite as the one used in his or her previous operation. (The data which flows in the

system includes not only clerk data but also GLU data. In the figure on the next page, the GLU/ROOM GLU

data flows are omitted.)

At the master, you can generate a report listing clerks who are currently in sign-on state at the

machines in the IRC system. (For further details on the clerk sign-on report, see page 10.)

NOTE

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

1) When the clerk signs on at a machine other than the one used in his or her previous operation:

In this case, the overlapped clerk data is sent from the master to the satellite (transfer of overlapped clerk

data).

2) When the clerk signs on at the same satellite as the one used in his or her previous operation:

In this case, no data transfer occurs between the master and the satellite but the data stored in the save file

of the satellite is called back. This permits quicker data look-up than above in 1).

In both cases, the overlapped clerk data is saved in the

master's overlapped clerk file as well as the satellite's

overlapped clerk data save file upon sign-off operation.

Master

Whether the centralized clerk file system is used with or

without an overlapped clerk save file, the master's

overlapped clerk file can be accessed from any machine

in the IRC system.

• For selecting whether your system should have the overlapped clerk function or not, and whether

it should have overlapped clerk save files or not, consult your authorized SHARP dealer.

• To use the overlapped clerk function in the IRC system, the overlapped clerk function must be

enabled for all the master and satellite machines.

NOTE

(2) Individual clerk file system

In this system, each clerk file is under the control of a satellite and you have to do programming for

clerks at each satellite. Even if a programmed clerk signs on at a satellite, a communication with the

master will not begin.

The overlapped clerk file in a satellite can only be accessed by the satellite itself. The data in the clerk

files at all satellites will be collected by the master each time a consolidated report is issued.

5. Sign-on operation (clerk assignment) (REG mode/MGR mode)

The sign-on operation is intended to assign a clerk to a machine (satellite/master) and enable him or her to

make registrations at the machine.

If a clerk successfully signs on at a machine, his or her clerk code appears on the LCD of the machine.

Sign-on procedure

(This procedure is the same as for clerk assignment at a standalone machine.)

9. Look-up and updating of the GLU file

In the IRC system, the following two types of GLU file allocation system are available: a centralized system

and an individual system.

In choosing the type of GLU file system, please consult your authorized SHARP dealer.

(1) Centralized GLU file system

In this system, only the master has control over GLU data stored in its GLU file. All satellites in the IRC

system can access the GLU file in the master for registration.

The GLU file is accessed by satellites for the following purposes:

• New order or reorder

• Payment entry or temporary finalization

• Bill printing

• Bill transfer/bill totalizing

• Bill separating

• Customer ordering

• Hotel transfer (Transaction transfer to ROOM GLU)

There are two types of GLU data transmission.

1) The GLU data is transmitted from the master to a satellite for GLU file look up (in case of a new

order/reorder). In this case, the GLU reserve counter* is retained at the master.

* The reserve counter reserves some records of GLU files to prevent a “LACKING MEMORY” error

in finalization.

2) The GLU data is transmitted from a satellite to the master upon finalization of a transaction (in case

of payment entry or temporary finalization).

The data transmitted from the satellite is once saved in the temporary GLU data receiving file and

then updated in the GLU file of the master. In this case, the GLU reserve counter is cleared at the

master.

If a satellite looks up the GLU file in the master or asks the master to update the file, the backup master

performs the same process as the master.

(2) Individual GLU file system

In this system, the master and each satellite individually control their own GLU data stored in their GLU files

and look up them for registration. Therefore, no inline communications are made regarding GLU data.

10. PLU/EAN stock control

In the IRC system, the following two systems for PLU/EAN stock control are available: a centralized system

and an individual system.

In choosing the type of PLU/EAN stock control system, please consult your authorized SHARP dealer.

Centralized system

Preset stock data is stored only in the master. Stock data in each satellite must be zero before a PLU/EAN

entry is made.

When a consolidated report is generated, stock data in respective satellites is consolidated into the stock file

in the master and calculated there.

The stock data calculated at the master is displayed or printed out and the stock data in each satellite is

reset to zero at the same time.

Individual system

The master and satellites store their own preset stock data. When a consolidated report is generated, the

stock data in the master and satellites is consolidated and displayed or printed out.

In the individual system, the consolidation does not affect the stock data in the master.

NOTE

11. T-LOG polling

All REG-mode transaction data in each satellite is saved in its T-LOG buffer. T-LOG polling is a data

collecting system in which the master collects data from the T-LOG buffers in satellites.

A request for T-LOG polling is issued from the satellite to the master when the number of data records in its

T-LOG buffer exceeds a predetermined number.

As the master detects such a request, it starts collecting T-LOG buffer data. After collecting data from one

satellite, the master waits for a preset time and starts collecting data from another satellite. In T-LOG polling,

the data transmitted to the master is stored in the corresponding file.

The data flow in T-LOG polling is shown below.

Master

(4)

(1) (2) (3)

(5)

Satellite A

Satellite B

Satellite C

Satellite D

Polling sequence (see the figure above.)

(1) Satellite A makes a request for polling.

(2) The master detects the request and starts collecting T-LOG data from satellite A.

(3) The T-LOG data is sent to the master.

(4) After receiving T-LOG data from satellite A, the master waits for a preset time.

(5) The master detects a request from another satellite (B, C or D) and starts polling for it.

You can specify in the PGM2 mode whether the entry function of a satellite is disabled (LOCK) or enabled

(CONTINUE) when the T-LOG buffer is full.

If it is disabled, an error message “T-LOG FULL” will be displayed and you are not allowed to make any

entry in the REG/MGR mode at the satellite until the error message is cleared.

If it is enabled, you can continue entries but cannot save the entered data. Even if data is entered after the

T-LOG buffer becomes full, the previous data saved in the file will not be erased.

• Depending on a remaining capacity of T-LOG buffer, T-LOG full indicator “T” appears on the

NOTE

top right of the screen in a colored square: green for less than 20 percent remaining, yellow for

less than 10 percent remaining and red for less than 5 percent remaining.

• For the programming whether or not to lock a registration entry when the T-LOG file is full, see

the UP-3500 Instruction Manual.

• For the T-LOG polling between the master and MWS, please consult your authorized SHARP

dealer.

12. PLU/EAN data control

In the IRC system, the following two systems for PLU/EAN data control are available: a centralized system

and an individual system.

In choosing the type of PLU/EAN data control system, please consult your authorized SHARP dealer.

Centralized system

PLU/EAN sales data is centrally controlled by the master. PLU/EAN sales data which is temporarily stored

in the T-LOG buffer of a satellite is sent to the master by T-LOG polling.

Individual system

The master and satellites control their own PLU/EAN sales data. PLU/EAN sales reports can be individually

generated at each machine. Consolidation of PLU/EAN sales data can be achieved by generating the

consolidated PLU/EAN report at the master.

The learning function enables the operator at a satellite to set the unit price, associated

NOTE

department and auto-deletion/non-deletion choice for an item whose code is undefined in the

PLU/EAN file, and to register the transaction. (For further information on the learning function,

see the UP-3500 Instruction Manual.)

If the satellite has no dynamic EAN file, the data on the EAN item which has been set using the

learning function is stored in the PLU/EAN main file to update the file.

If the satellite has a dynamic EAN file, the data is stored in the dynamic EAN file to update the file.

The data which has been set using the learning function in the training mode at a satellite is also

stored in its T-LOG buffer.

For the data flow, see the following figures.

13. Price change function

When a preset data (unit price and associated department) of an EAN item is changed at a satellite or the

master using the price change function, its PLU/EAN main file or dynamic EAN file is updated with the new

data. Immediately after this, the new data is automatically distributed to all other machines to update their

PLU/EAN main files or dynamic EAN files which contain the same EAN code. The updated file varies

depending on dynamic file setting for the IRC system.

The EAN data changed at a satellite is also stored in its T-LOG buffer and collected through T-LOG polling

by the master to update its PLU/EAN main file or dynamic EAN file in case the updated EAN data at the

satellite is not automatically distributed to the master due to dynamic file setting for the IRC system.

For further information on the price change function, see the UP-3500 instruction manual.

For the data flow, see the following figures.

If a transmission error occurs during automatic distribution of updated data to other machines after a

price is changed using the price change function at a machine, the machine number of the terminal

which causes the error and the type of error are printed out at the sending machine. In this case, the

system retry function can be used if it is enabled. (For the system retry function, see pages 55–56.)

14. Customer data control

In the IRC system, customer data is centrally controlled by the master. Customer data which is temporarily

stored in the T-LOG buffer of a satellite is sent to the master by T-LOG polling and controlled by the master.

(For further information on T-LOG polling, see page 17.)

15. Communication with a remote printer (option)

When a remote printer is included in the inline system, order data is output to the remote printer according

to the remote printer assignment.

The remote printer, also called a kitchen printer, is used to print all or part of the data entered at a machine.

Although kitchen may be one of the typical settings for the convenient use of the remote printer, it can also

be used at any location.

If a remote printer is assigned to a department or PLU, the information on the department or PLU is output

to the remote printer when the [NBAL] or [FINAL] key is touched or the transaction is finalized at a terminal.

The data which can be output to a remote printer is as follows:

1) Item text

2) Quantity*

3) Unit price*/Price*

4) Amount*

5) PLU/department code*

6) Free text*

7) Number of guests*

* Whether to print or not is selectable.

Second (back-up) remote printer

A second remote printer can be assigned to each remote printer for automatic back-up.

If an error occurs during data output to a remote printer, the data is output to the second remote printer

assigned to it.

When an error occurs during data output to the second remote printer, the data is output to the receipt

printer if there is one set up for the terminal.

Up to two remote printers can be preset to print data on each item (PLU or department).

If two printers are preset to print data on each item, the data is simultaneously output to both printers.

If either of these printers encounters an error, the data is output to its backup printer.

If the backup printer encounters an error, the data is output to the receipt printer if there is one set up for the

terminal.

• For the programming of remote printers (KP#1-KP#9), see pages 43–45.

• Crate entry is not output to a remote printer.

16. Rerouting print data

In restaurants or the like, every terminal does not need an external printer (a receipt/report printer, journal

printer, bill printer or kitchen printer).

One external printer connected by an RS-232 cable can be shared by two or more UP-3500 machines.

Consolidated and Individual Reports

The system can generate two types of sales reports: consolidated reports (reports on all or specified

machines in the system) and individual reports (reports on individual machines). At the master, you can

generate consolidated reports on all or specified machines in the system. Certain consolidated reports can

also be generated at the back-up master under certain conditions. Individual reports can be generated at

any machine in the IRC system: each satellite, the master and the back-up master.

4. Resetting reports in a system with no save file

In a system which has no save file and has been programmed so as to automatically lock satellites after

resetting when general resetting, hourly resetting, cashier resetting, clerk resetting (only the case of

individual clerk file system) or daily net resetting report is taken, the data in the satellites concerned is not

cleared. In this case, the satellites will be locked after resetting, and any entry will not be allowed in the

REG/MGR mode there.

Generation of the same resetting report in the locked state will print a copy symbol on the report.

The satellites can be unlocked by generating a corresponding consolidated resetting report at the master, or

by manual clearing of corresponding sales memories of the satellites.

Your dealer can program whether or not to have save files, and whether or not to lock the

satellites. For details, consult your authorized SHARP dealer.

NOTE

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

5. Clerk report

As stated earlier (see pages 7-8), there are two systems for collecting clerk sales data: a centralized system

and an individual system.

(1) Centralized clerk file system

In this system, the transaction data on a clerk in each satellite will be transmitted to the master each

time the clerk signs off. Individual reports on both individual clerk and full clerk are not available at any

machine in the IRC system. At the master, you can generate consolidated full clerk and individual clerk

reports.

At each satellite, you can generate consolidated individual clerk reports.

If a consolidated individual clerk report is taken at a satellite while a clerk is in sign-on state at the

machine, the data on transactions being handled by the clerk or cashier is also added and printed out.

If a consolidated full clerk Z report is taken at the master while a clerk signs on at a satellite, that

clerk’s sales data are excluded from the report and resetting operation for the clerk can not be made.

In this case, the message “IS SIGNED ON” and a machine number of the satellite is printed on the

report as shown below.

(2) Individual clerk file system

In this system, you can generate consolidated reports on full clerk or individual clerk at the master

only. At each machine, you can generate an individual X or Z report on transactions made by an

individual clerk or all clerks assigned to the machine.

If the system has no save file, the clerk for whom an individual Z report has been generated is not

allowed to make registrations in the REG mode. This condition, in which registrations by the clerk are

disallowed, is canceled when his or her sales data is consolidated and reset at the master or when the

sales data is manually cleared. (For the manual clearing operation, see page 54.)

When an X or Z report for the locked clerk is generated again, the COPY mark will be printed in the

report as shown below. (This COPY mark will not appear when the system has a save file.)

• For selecting whether your system should have a save file or not, consult your authorized

SHARP dealer.

NOTE

• For the setting of the individual resetting data clear at the time of consolidation general

resetting, please consult your authorized SHARP dealer.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

6. Cashier report

The cashier file management method in the IRC system employs individual system. A cashier who is

assigned to a machine can carry out registrations and other operations at that machine. In this system, you

can generate consolidated reports on full cashier or individual cashier at the master only. At each machine,

you can generate an individual X or Z report on transactions made by an individual cashier or all cashiers

assigned to the machine.

If the system has no save file, the cashier for whom an individual Z report has been generated is not allowed

to make registrations in the REG mode. This condition, in which registrations by the cashier are disallowed,

is canceled when his or her sales data is consolidated and reset at the master or when the sales data is

manually cleared. (For the manual clearing operation, see page 54.)

When an X or Z report for the locked cashier is generated again, the COPY mark will be printed in the

report. (This COPY mark will not appear when the system has a save file.)

When the system has a save file, the data in the save file and that in the sales file are summed up for

consolidation.

• The above explanation applies when the cashier system is used in addition to the clerk system.

For the selection and settings of the clerk + cashier system or clerk only system, please consult

your authorized SHARP dealer.

NOTE

• For the setting of the individual resetting data clear at the time of consolidation general

resetting, please consult your authorized SHARP dealer.

7. Reports that can be generated when the Compulsory

Cash/Check Declaration (CCD) function is enabled

Each machine can be programmed to enable the Compulsory Cash/Check Declaration (CCD) function. This

function compels the operator to enter the cash/check amount in the drawer just before an individual

clerk/cashier Z/Z1 report, all clerk/cashier Z1 report, or a general Z1 report is issued. Unless CCD entries

compelled by the CCD function have been made, all the reports can not be generated.

To take a consolidated general Z1 report in case of compulsory CCD function (by terminal), the following

two conditions are applied.

1) If the CCD DATA is not entered in the master and the master is included in appointment of machine

number, a consolidated general Z1 report can not be generated.

2) If the CCD DATA is not entered in the satellite, a consolidated general Z1 report can not be generated.

In the case of taking a consolidated individual clerk Z1 report and a consolidated all clerk Z1 report under

centralized clerk file system, CCD entry is required only at the master just before the report generation.

In all other cases under compulsory CCD function, you can not generate a consolidated Z1 reports

(individual clerk, individual cashier, all clerk, all cashier and general report) at the master unless CCD

entries have been made at all the machines in the IRC system to generate the corresponding individual

Z1(Z) report at each machine beforehand.

You can not generate some types of reports depending on a selected CCD entry type as shown in the table

below.

System Back-Up

1. How the IRC back-up system works

The IRC system incorporates a back-up system.

One of the satellites can be designated to serve as a back-up master.

For the setup of a back-up master in your IRC system, please consult your authorized SHARP dealer.

When both the master and back-up master are in order, the system works in the following sequence:

Master

Back-up master

1) Updated data

3) Updated data

2) Acknowledgment signal

4) Acknowledgment signal

Satellite

1) Each satellite sends updated GLU data (and clerk data*) to the master.

2) The master receives the data and sends back an acknowledgment signal to the satellite.

3) The satellite sends the updated data to the back-up master.

4) The back-up master receives the data and sends back an acknowledgment signal to the satellite.

*Only for the centralized clerk file system

If the master breaks down, the back-up master serves as the master after a master declaration is made at

the back-up master. If the back-up master breaks down, updated data transmission to it can be stopped by

a master declaration at the master. When the master or back-up master recovers from the breakdown, it

resumes its function as the master or back-up master by the recovery declaring operation.

appears in the pop-up window of the display of the satellite.

(For the system retry function, see pages 55–56.)

2) The master declaration operation must be done at the back-up master. This operation informs all

the satellites that the master has broken down and the back-up master will serve as the master

hereafter. (During this process, any other operation cannot be done at each satellite.)

3) Each satellite in the IRC system starts sending updated GLU data (and clerk data*) only to the

back-up master.

4) The back-up master receives the data and sends back an acknowledgment signal to the satellites.

*Only for the centralized clerk file system

The master declaration procedure is as follows:

1. Enter the PGM2 mode from the mode selection window.

2. Select “7 DECLARE & RECOVERY MA/BMA” from the displayed menu.

2. System retry function

If a transmission job from the master to a satellite is not performed successfully, the master either

terminates the job immediately or enters command entry awaiting state depending on whether the system

retry function has been disabled or enabled. When the system retry function has been enabled, the master

awaits entry of a command and retries access depending on the commands as explained on the following

page.

System retry function is also available at satellites depending on a type of transmission error.

This function is used in the following cases:

• The master has failed to download preset or updated data to all or some of the satellites.

• The master has failed to collect sales report data from all or some of the satellites.

• The satellite has failed to download data to other machines.

• A clerk has failed to sign off at a satellite.*

Whether the system retry function is enabled or disabled when a transmission error occurs is

programmed both at the master and a satellite. (See “5. Specifying whether to enable or disable the

system retry function when a transmission error occurs” on page 41.)

*When a clerk has failed to sign off at a satellite for some reason (e.g. the master is busy), the RETRY

and ABORT commands are available but the IGNORE command is not.

(1) When the system retry function is disabled

The master terminates the transmission job immediately in the following two ways.

If none of the satellites have successfully transmitted data, the transmission is regarded as having

ended with an error, which is equivalent to ABORT as discussed on the following page.

If there is any satellite which has successfully transmitted data, the transmission is regarded as either

successful or unsuccessful depending on the type of transmission job. In this case, the transmission

regarded as successful and the one regarded as unsuccessful are equivalent to IGNORE and ABORT,

respectively, both of which are explained on the following page.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

(2) When the system retry function is enabled

If a transmission error relating to a satellite occurs, the relevant window will appear on the display of

the master and the master awaits entry of one of the following commands:

A) RETRY command (selection from the menu)

B) ABORT command (selection from the menu)

C) IGNORE command (selection from the menu)

A) RETRY command:

When RETRY is selected, the master retries to access the satellite; however, depending on the

type of error (command error, etc.), it is obvious that the master would fail to access it again. If this

type of error occurs during transmission, the master may not retry.

B) ABORT command:

When ABORT is selected, the master terminates access to the satellite and regards the

transmission as having unsuccessfully ended. However, in the case of program data downloading,

the ABORT command may be issued only when all the satellites accessed are in the error state.

C) IGNORE command:

When IGNORE is selected, the master terminates access to the satellite and regards the

transmission as having successfully ended, and then prints only transmitted data.

If no satellite has successfully transmitted data, the IGNORE command may be issued to the

master in the case of sales data inquiry (X report), though the result is not printed.

[Retry during sales data inquiry]

During resetting, the ABORT command may be given only when every accessed satellite is in the

error state. The IGNORE and RETRY commands are available unconditionally.
