Changing Other Settings As Necessary

Your cash register is pre-programmed so that you
can use it with minimum setup. To change the initial
settings, see the appropriate sections.

Initial Settings
Departments 1 to 4:
Taxable 1. Positive (+). Preset price: 0.00
Departments 5 to 8:

Non-taxable. Positive (+). Preset price: 0.00

PLU codes 1-10:

Assigned to dept. 1. Preset price: 0.00

PLU codes 11-80:

Not used

When you program the tax status for a department,
tax will be automatically added to sales of items
assigned to the department according to the
programmed tax status for the department. You can
also enter tax manually.

There are two tax programming methods. The tax
rate method uses a straight percentage rate per
dollar. The tax table method requires tax break
information from your state or local tax offices. Use
the method which is acceptable in your state. You
can obtain necessary data for tax programming from
your local tax office.

For tax table programming, see "programming"

Tax Rate Programming
The percent rate specified here is used for tax
calculation on taxable subtotals. Turn the mode
switch to the Z/PGM position and use the following
sequence to program the tax rate:

➝

SBTL

➝ Tax number(1-4) ➝

@/TM

➝ R

➝

@/TM

➝ Q ➝

where R and Q represent the following.
R: Tax rate (0.0000% to 99.9999%) x 10000
Enter the rate in 6 digits (leading zeros may be
omitted). If the rate is fractional (e.g., 4 3/8%), it
should be converted to its decimal equivalent
(4.375) before entering.
Q: Minimum taxable amount (0.01 to 99.99) x 100
Smallest amount for which tax must be collected. In
some states, sales whose amounts are less than the
minimum taxable amount are not subject to tax. If
amounts $0.01 to $0.10 are not taxed, the value of
Q would be 11 (for $0.11), the lowest of the first
taxable category.

Time (2:30 p.m.)

SBTL

Always enter the date in 6 digits. For

example, enter

for

February 15, 2010. If you change the date
format in the Z/PGM mode, follow the newly
specified format when setting the date.

•Always enter the time in 4 digits even when

the hour is in the single digit. For example,
enter

for 6:30 a.m.

• 6:30 a.m. prints as “06-30” and 6:30 p.m.

prints as “06-30@”.

Setting the Time

Turn the mode switch to the Z/PGM position and
enter the time in 4 digits (“hhmm” format) using the
24 hour system. Press the

SBTL

key once to continue

programming or twice to exit the program mode.

3. Insert three new AA batteries.

Initializing the Cash Register

For your cash register to operate properly, you must
initialize it before programming for the first time.
Follow this procedure.

2. Insert the supplied mode key into the mode

switch and turn it to the REG position.

3. Insert the plug into the AC outlet.

IMPORTANT: This operation must be performed
without batteries loaded.

4. The buzzer will sound three times. Now your

Installing Batteries

Batteries must be installed in the cash register to
prevent data and programmed contents from being
lost from the memory in case of accidental
disconnection of the AC cord or power failure. Please
install three new “AA” batteries before programming
and operating the cash register. Once installed, the
batteries will last approximately one year. When it is
time to replace them, the “l” symbol will appear on
the display to indicate a low battery voltage. If the
symbol appears, you must replace them within two
days.
Install the batteries according to this procedure with
the AC cord connected:
1. Push the printer cover forward and detach it.

4. When the batteries are properly installed, “ ”

against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case
the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

CAUTION

The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

Handling Cautions

Install the cash register in a location not subject to direct sunlight, unusual temperature
changes, high humidity, or splashing water.

Do not operate the cash register with wet hands. Water can cause internal component failure.

The cash register plugs into any standard wall outlet (120V AC ± 10%). Avoid connecting any

other electrical devices on the same electrical circuit since such connection could cause the
cash register to malfunction.

When cleaning the cash register, use a dry, soft cloth. Never use volatile liquids, such as
benzine or thinner. Chemicals can discolor or damage the cabinet.

For protection against data loss, please install three new “AA” batteries before using the cash
register. However, never forget you must initialize the cash register before installation of
batteries; otherwise damage to memory contents or malfunctioning of the register will occur. You
can start operating it only after initializing it and then installing batteries.

For complete electrical disconnection, pull out the main plug.

Programming the Tax Rate

Before you can proceed with registration of sales,
you must first program the tax that is levied in
accordance with the law of your state. Your cash
register comes with the ability to program four
different tax rates. In most states, you will only
need to program Tax 1. However, if you live in an
area that has a separate local tax (such as a Parish
tax) or a hospitality tax, your register can be
programmed to calculate these separate taxes.

In order to program the tax to be collected in
accordance with the law of your state, you must
specify the tax rate(s) and minimum taxable
amount(s).

Checking the Time and Date

You can display the time and date to check if they
are correctly set.
1. Turn the mode switch in the REG position.
2. Press the

@/TM

key once to display the time.

3. Press the

@/TM

key a second time to display the

date.

Setting the Date

In the Z/PGM mode, enter the date in 6 digits using
the month-day-year format. Press the

SBTL

key once

to continue programming or twice to exit the
program mode.

Before placing a new paper roll in the paper
roll cradle, cut off the pasted (taped) part of
the paper and confirm that the cut end of the
paper is straight.

Maintenance

Batteries

This cash register provides a low battery symbol
(l) and a no battery symbol ( ) which appears on
the far left of the display in one of the following
situations:

Low battery symbol (l)
• When the voltage of the batteries installed in the

cash register is under the required level.

No battery symbol ( )
• When three batteries are not installed in the cash

• When the batteries installed in the cash register

are dead.

When either of these symbols appear, check
batteries. If no batteries are installed, install three
new “AA” batteries at once. If batteries are already
installed, replace them with new ones as soon as
possible. If the AC power cord is disconnected or a
power failure occurs when the batteries are dead
or not installed, all the programmed settings will be
reset to the default settings and any data stored in
memory will be cleared.

If the low battery symbol appears while
making a transaction, complete the
transaction before replacing the batteries.

Improper use of batteries could cause them to burst

or leak, which might damage the interior of the cash

•Be sure that the positive (+) and negative (-) poles

of each battery are oriented properly.

•Never mix batteries of different types.

•Never mix old batteries and new ones.

•Never leave dead batteries in the battery

compartment.
