5. The "X" and "Z" Reports (End of Day)

Understanding the difference between these reports is crucial for bookkeeping.

• X-Report (Flash Report):

  • Use this to check sales totals during the day. It resets nothing. It allows you to see how much money should be in the drawer mid-shift.
  • Key Sequence: Switch to X mode (often mode key position 2 or 3) and press TOTAL.

• Z-Report (End of Day):

  • Use this to close the business day. This report prints the daily totals and resets the daily memory to zero for the next business day.
  • Key Sequence: Switch to Z mode and press TOTAL.

Final Checklist Before Purchase

• Do you need RS-232 serial? (If no, consider the IX20).
• Do you need dual modems? (If yes, upgrade to TX54).
• Is temperature a factor? (If you are in a climate-controlled data center, buy a cheaper Astoria or Cradlepoint).
• Do you have a compatible 4G SIM card (Standard size)?

Where to buy: Digi SM 5300 units are available via major distributors like Mouser, DigiKey, or directly from Digi’s partner network. Be cautious of "grey market" units on eBay, as they may be carrier-locked to foreign networks.
