Clerk interrupt function
There are two types of clerk interrupt function, illustrated by PROCEDURE 1 and PROCEDURE 2 below.
• In PROCEDURE 1, each clerk possesses a unique clerk interrupt buffer, and so the clerk interrupt function
gives each individual clerk the ability to perform an independent registration operation. In this case, each clerk
is individually linked to a unique clerk interrupt buffer.
• In PROCEDURE 2, multiple clerks use the same clerk interrupt buffer, and so a single clerk interrupt
operation (clerk change during registration) can be performed any registration is in progress. In this case,
multiple clerks are linked to a single clerk interrupt buffer.
Note the following important points concerning the clerk interrupt function.
• The register must be programmed to allow use of the clerk interrupt function.
• You cannot use the clerk interrupt function on a register set up to function as part of a check tracking system.
In the REG and RF modes, clerks can be change while a transaction is in progress, making it possible for
multiple clerks to simultaneously perform registrations using a single register.
For example, if clerk 1 is interrupted while registering a transaction, clerk 2 can use the same machine to
register a different transaction. Then clerk 1 can continue the original registration from the point where it was
interrupted.
