Appendix E – Communicating and Reporting

Samsung Group Report

When programming groups in the Samsung 6500 register, the option ‘Add to Group Total’ refers only to reporting at the register. When a group report is selected at the register, the total is calculated at report time, selecting only the groups flagged for totals. When PC/POLL requests the groups from the 6500, the register sends the data for each group, but does not include the group total. The total on the PC/POLL group report is the sum of all groups sent by the register.

PLU by Group Report

The Samsung can do a PLU by Group Report. However, this feature is only available at the register during report time. Within Polling Version 6.2 an emulated PLU by Group Report has been added for all registers.

Error Code 47

Error Code 47 (Range Over) from the ECR usually occurs when sending a program that has more items than the memory allocation in the ECR allows. For example, trying to send 1,200 PLUs when the ECR’s memory can only accommodate 1,000 will cause this error. Changing the memory allocation settings at the ECR to allow for the additional items will be necessary.

Error Code 55

Getting Error Code 55 (BAD FUNC) from the ECR is most often caused by attempting to do a Daily report using a Daily period. The Samsung does not support a Daily/Daily report. You can use a Daily/Monthly or a Daily/Periodic instead. See Appendix B – Action Batches.

Error Code 56

The Samsung Error Code 56 (BUSY) does not mean failure to communicate. Every Z report will set the Consolidation flag but does not reset the data. This prevents a second consolidation, which would overwrite and lose the data.

If possible, run the first poll that created this error.  This will collect the information, clear the totals, and allow normal operation to resume.  Otherwise, put the register in Z Mode.  Press 18 Subtotal to clear all data in the buffer. This method will case you to lose the information contained in the poll that errored!
