Explanation of Micros 2700 Tender/Media Direct Keys

[Narvin]

I've learned that function codes 0300 to 03FF provide you with tender/media direct keys. It seems to me that you would use these codes in conjunction with the Tender table (2-1-2-2-5) to define keys to pay with cash, credit cards, gift certs, etc. But it also looks like you can define keys to send orders and print checks.

In the system I'm working on, the Cash key has code 0301 and line 1 in the Tender table is called cash, so that makes sense. I can analyze that tender line to see how a cash tender should be programmed.

But the Print Check has key code 0306 and the Send key has code 0311. The corresponding lines in the Tender table are as follows (some fields ommitted for brevity):

#   NAME          TYPE  TDEF            PRNT    KYBD  SLU
6   DELIV CC      1     60C00A00000000  A80000  0000  0
17  REPRINT CHEC  2     00002E00000000  080000  0017  1

I can't really make heads or tails of this. My question is basically, how do you define a send or a print check key?

Why do you need "more" send or print keys defined?

The # 0306 & 0311: the 1st 2 digits means it's a tender/media button. The 06 & 11 digits represent which line # in the tender media file those items are located on.
Once you have a print button established IE:0306, you can program that print button on a 100 screens by using the single function code of 0306. There is no scheming regarding which line # the print check button is on. When programming touchscreens; you only need to know which line "it is on".

The only time I've seen tender/media buttons used to direct menu items to specific remote ptr's is in a bar situations. IE: the server has available two "send" buttons, one send button will direct all drinks to the main bar and the other send button will send drinks to a service bar (mainly used on busy nights). Otherwise we never used to use tender/media buttons to direct menu items to certain remote ptr's.

What are you trying to accomplish?
