Description: Use the ECR or POS Mode when taking orders on the Echo POS system. When taking orders, you can switch between ECR or POS Mode at any time with the toggle button at the top of the screen. These modes offer two distinctive approaches to your items.
POS Mode
POS Mode is designed to separate your items by Department and then by Item Tags for easy searching.
To edit the order of the Departments and Tags in POS Mode, you need to use what is called Screen Edit Mode. To access it, you’ll need to have POS Mode toggled blue and go to Manager > Screen Edit Mode.
Once loaded, the system will prompt you to Select a Button to Edit. Select the Department or Tag that you wish to edit.
Now, you’ll see the Edit Department screen. On this screen you are able to:
- Choose how to Sort Items By:
- Default (in the order the items were created)
- Alphabetical (in an A-Z order within the department)
- Select an Icon from the pre-programmed options (you cannot upload your own)
- Alter the Position on the list using the up (△) and down (▽) arrows
Once you are satisfied with its appearance, select Save and then select Exit Edit Mode in the top right corner.
ECR Mode
ECR Mode is designed to be more like an electronic cash register and can have items and discounts added to the screen around the existing calculator.
To add items to ECR Mode, you need to use what is called Screen Edit Mode. To access it, you’ll need to have ECR Mode toggled and then go to Manager > Screen Edit Mode.
- Once loaded, the system will prompt you to Select a Button to Edit.
- If you are adding a new item, select a blank (grey) button.
- If you do this, you will then need to select an item from the list and select Save.
- If you need to edit an existing item, select that button instead.
Once you have chosen an item, discount, or button you will see the Edit Button screen:
- On the Edit Button screen, you can adjust the following components:
- Name: this will default to the short name you created in the Item Setup, but this can be altered
- Icon & Color: used to customize the button in an aesthetically pleasing or organizational way
- Location: you may use the arrow buttons on this screen to relocate the item
- On the Edit Discount screen, you can adjust the following components:
- Name: this will default to the name given when creating the discount
- Location: you may use the arrow buttons on this screen to relocate the item
After you are satisfied with the appearance of the button, select Save.
Other options on the Edit Button screen include:
- Replace Item: allows you to switch the chosen item or discounts out for a different one in your system
-
Delete Button: deletes the currently highlighted button from ECR Mode
- This will NOT remove any items from the inventory
- Cancel: cancels your current button creation/editing
- Save: saves any changes you have made to the ECR screen
When you have completed your selections, select Exit Edit Mode in the top right corner.
Note: There is no way to download more icons or colors for either mode. We suggest using more than one color for the same icon if needed.
