Load a new install of WinPoS, system will cold start as it should. If you are using the 92R keyboard, the keyboard is dead after the cold start. You must restart the terminal in order for the 92R Keyboard to become operational.

When using "Q-Empty_69" to initiate a "Cold Start" on a POS terminal,  the Cold Start never initializes the 92R Keyboard.  The 92R Keyboard is dead after the cold start.  You must restart the terminal in order for the terminal to become operational.  This problem can easily be duplicated.  It is not associated with only new installs or software upgrades (as originally reported).  This problem happens when you use a "Q-Empty_69" to perform a "Cold Start".

WD 6974 U-Scan with ISS45:

If leave Cashier signed on during EOD - then it is not properly  logged off and causes issues with recognition of cashier next business day.

After the EOD - if you scan a restricted item - it would not print on receipt but was included in the total of order.

After the EOD - if the first item scanned is a red wine with UPC 04xxxx - this U-Scan drops the zero and treats the UPC as a Frequent Shopper number not a restricted PLU.

Sometimes the system gets into a loop and force signoff of cashier required and reboot. 

Note: completion of proper function for this WD 6974 requires the completion of Prism defect 155522.  This is scheduled for release in U-Scan release 24_479_STNXT1.3.0_RETALIX55_WPSCO3_26C

Acers running with XP Professional and SP2.  Starting up MFS1 and MFS2 gets hung at the point where services monitor indicates Starting waitpc.  This happens on a shutdown/restart from windows desktop or power up from an off condition.  They never come up even after waiting for 1/2 hour.  Running a standalone server seems to come up without any problems.

WD 7570

U-Scan/ISS45  -  intermittently a produce item that requires a QTY cannot be processed at the robot

It appears that when a robot is put into Direct Mode and then released by U-Scan from Direct Mode - sending a message to ISS45 that robot is releasing Direct Mode  - the ISS45 application does not acknowledge that robot is released from Direct Mode. So when a customer is using this robot and a pop-up is required to ask for the QTY to be entered - this pop-up does not appear at the robot but at the Attendant Station as robot/ISS45 still thinks robot in Direct Mode.

So robot is hung - once the order is moved AGAIN to attendant station then the system sorts itself out as far as the state of the robot.

Note: it looks like initially the robot is put into Direct Mode to handle a tender of a check(?)

CATEGORY: Self-Checkout

WD 7585 If there is not another item with same tax flags to offset the error correct, the control report is out of balance. Create 3 tax Rates. One for 2% LOW and one for 9% HIGH and one for 3% CITY. Create 4 PLU Items. First PLU has High Tax, City Tax and is Food-stampable, for 3.39 for example. Second PLU also has High Tax, City Tax and is food-stamplable for .50. Third PLU is Low tax and Food-stampable for 2.29 Fourth PLU is High Tax NO FOODSTAMPS. Ring First PLU and Item CorrectRing THIRD PLU and ring FOURTH PLU. Total with FoodStamp tender and tender the rest in Cash. The Receipt and the Control Report, show the Item Corrected amount in the Low Tax field. The Control Report is now out of balance. This should be zero in this field. Ring First PLU and Item Correct. Ring Second PLU, Third PLU and Fourth PLU. Tender with Food Stamps and finish the sale with cash. This works correctly because there was another item with the same tax flags in the sale. This also works the same with only 2 tax rates, High and Low and no City. Expected Results: Control Report and receipt need to not report sales of item corrected. Actual Results: Items that are corrected or voided are reporting as sales to the control report

CATEGORY: Illinois Tax
