8. Drive-through function

Depending on the setup of your system, drive-through data is either centrally controlled by the

master or Individually looked up at each terminal. For more information, please contact your

authorized SHARP dealer.

Automatic code generation

Drive-through codes are generated automatically: when the end code for a transaction is

generated, the start code for another transaction is automatically generated.

The start/end codes are programmable in the PGM mode and controlled by the master

depending upon your system setup.

Automatic look-up

As drive-through codes are temporarily finalized by pressing the [SRVC] or [FINAL] key, data for

these codes is automatically looked up in the same sequence as the code was generated.

Drive-through-related inline communications are made for the following purposes:

• New order or re-order

• Payment entry or temporary finalization

• Bill printing

In this system, the drive-through data is transmitted from the master to a satellite for drive-

through file look-up (in case of a new order/reorder). In this case, the drive-through reserve

counter is retained at the master.

Data is transmitted from a satellite to the master for finalization of a transaction (in case of a

payment entry or temporary finalization). The data transmitted from the satellite is then saved in

the temporary drive-through data receiving file and then in the drive-through file. In this case, the

drive-through reserve counter is cleared at the master.

In this system, the master and satellites have their own drive-through data files. They access

their own drive-through files for new orders or reorders. The drive-through data of the master or

a satellite is saved in its drive-through file for finalization of a transaction (in case of a payment

entry or temporary finalization). Therefore, no inline communications are made regarding drive-

through data.
