Training Mode

Top  Previous  Next

Training Mode allows transactions to be created without being saved in the transaction history at the IMS as an actual transaction.  Not all of the POS functions can be used in Training Mode due to the communication which must take place between the POS and IMS in order for certain types of transactions to occur.

 

 

To enter Training Mode from the POS opening screen, press F7 Setup.

Enter your P.I.N. number.  (This number is assigned in the IMS under Clerk.  If clerk numbers have not been assigned, SUPERUSER is the default.)  Press Enter on the keyboard or click OK.

After entering the P.I.N number, press Enter or click OK.

 

The next screen is Enter mail number to begin. (Click on this link to learn more about mail numbers.)

 

FOM should be off when in Training Mode to assure that the register does not go live with the IMS.

 

To exit Training Mode, the F10 Exit key may be pressed at any time.  The POS will return to the opening screen.
