Initial Setup and Programming
(Maitre'D 2002-2003)
PROGRAMMING
The CVM unit has a number of programming options that can be modified by
the end user: Custom Logo for attached printer, Printer Control Codes,
Target Times for all 5 screens, Drive Through terminal number(s) designation,
designation of PARK screen, and the Order Status Mask.
TO ACCESS THE PROGRAMMING SCREEN:
- RESET THE CVM, THE RAM TEST WILL EXECUTE.
- THE GRID PATTERN AND LOGO WILL DISPLAY.
- AT BUMP BOX NUMBER 1, HOLD DOWN THE RESTORE BUTTON THE NON-VOLATILE
MEMORY PROGRAMMING SCREEN WILL DISPLAY.
The programming options will be displayed along with a picture of the programming
keyboard for bump box #1.
LOGO:
Positioning the cursor at the appropriate position, entering the ASCII
code for the character you want, and pressing ENTER, enters the logo.
Valid ASCII codes are 032 - 127. Please note that all ASCII codes are
entered in decimal, not hex. Refer to the conversion table for these codes.
You may wish to center your logo by padding with space characters. The
logo supports up to five lines of print. If it is desired to have less
than a five lines logo you may disable any line by entering two ASCII
122 characters (Lowercase "z") as the first two characters on
any logo line. These two characters will cause that line, along with its
corresponding linefeed, not to be sent to the CVM-controlled printer(s).
PRINTER CODES:
These codes are used for controlling the printers attached to the CVM.
Position the cursor on the appropriate line, enter the control code, and
press Enter. Refer to the printer control code table for the codes. Please
note that all printer control codes are entered in decimal, not hex.
TARGET TIMES:
Enter the time limit for IDEAL PREP TIME for each of the five monitors.
Entering zero may disable target time tracking. Target times are entered
as number of seconds. I.E. Two minutes would be entered as 120.
DRIVE TERMINAL NUMBER:
The number entered here designates this terminal as drive through. Any
terminal numbers that are equal to or greater than this number are also
considered to be drive through terminals. This is very useful in a double
register drive through. Orders from the drive terminals display on the
top four columns of the monitors when they are switched into the split
screen mode.
DRIVE SCREEN NUMBER:
This entry designates which screen will have the PARK function available.
This is used for PARKing vehicles in the drive through lane when food
prep time will be excessive. In addition, any items programmed to go to
any monitor will appear on this screen. This will allow the drive-thru
terminal(s) to have PLU files identical to those at the counter. To disable
this feature, enter zero in this field.
ORDER STATUS MASK:
This entry applies to terminals that have the capability of sending the
order status. These terminals have the option of sending the status (EAT
HERE, TAKE OUT, DRIVE-THRU) to the CVM where it is displayed. If this
terminal option is enabled, the CVM will display the appropriate status
with each order. However, there may be cases where it is undesirable to
display one or more of the types of status. Entering the appropriate number
in this field may individually disable them. Refer to the chart below
for these entries:
Do not display any status = Disable in terminal options
Do not display EAT HERE = 1
Do not display TAKE OUT = 2
Do not display DRIVE-THRU = 4
Display all status's = 0
Any two of these options may be combined to allow only one order status
to be displayed.
TO EXIT THE PROGRAM MODE:
Position the cursor on the lower-most entry of the screen and press ENTER.
You will be prompted to either exit and discard changes, EXIT AND SAVE,
or CONTINUE EDITING. Make your selection and press ENTER. The CVM will
dump the programmed data to CVM printer #1, if one is attached. Once the
above information was programmed it will be retained by the CVM until
it is reprogrammed. This information is retained even if the CVM is turned
off or the power is interrupted.
The CVM3 monitor is available through POSERA in Seattle. Contact is Chris
