Manager Operation 3-6-3. X/Z collection / consolidation This function is used to obtain the counters and totals of the individual terminals (collection) and of all objected terminals in the store (consolidation) by one procedure. After printing collection report on the master's printer, the master prints the consolidation report. Regardless whether they are in the process of registration, the satellite terminals send data and do not print out the reports, when X collection / consolidation is performed. But, during the Z collection / consolidation, satellites are locked from registrations. After consolidating data from all objected terminals, the master prints the details on the printer. 3-6-2-1.
