The RED tinted section holds the item shortcut buttons.

This is the item shortcut grid. It can be modified by using the Administration program's Setup Item Shortcut Buttons, and pages can be scrolled through with the Left/Right arrows at the bottom.

The WHITE tinted section displays information about the transaction, tender methods and a couple additional functions.

1. This is the Discount/Coupon/Food Stamp/FSA Eligibility chart. Dollar amounts display in the appropriate lines if select items are eligible for the listed tender methods.

5. This is the Age Check button. It allows for a quick and easy age calculation based on date.

6. This is the Calculator button. It brings up a simple calculator for your convenience if needed.

7. This is the Cash Tender button row. The yellow buttons are static, and they allow the user to press the appropriate bill they have received; the register then calculates amount due/change amount. The green buttons automatically change based on closest bill/amount to amount due, ie. $16.77 would display $17, $20, $50. The Exact Cash button is used when exact cash is given, and no change is due.
