Single Item Cash Sale (SICS) Entry
This function is used for the sale of one item to be paid
by cash. It is applicable only to departments
programmed for single-item cash sales or to PLUs
associated with such departments. After the appropriate
department or
P key is pressed, the transaction is
complete and the drawer opens. For the programming of
SICS, see the Department Status section in
“Programming.”
PLU (Price Look Up)
The PLU function allows speedy key entries. When a
PLU code has been assigned to an item and a price for
it has been programmed, entry of the code
automatically calls up the price for the item. Up to 80
PLU codes are programmable. See the PLU
programming section in “Programming”
To enter a sale of a PLU item, simply enter its code and
press
P .
Tax Calculation
Automatic Tax Calculation
When the register is programmed with a tax table or tax
rate method and the tax status of a department is
programmed as taxable, the register automatically
computes the tax on any item entered using the
department key for that department or a PLU code
associated with that department.
Taxable Subtotal
You can display the taxable 1 or taxable 2 subtotal by
pressing either tax shift key and then #/ SBTL . The subtotal
of taxable 1 or taxable 2 entries is displayed. You
cannot display the subtotal of taxable 3 or 4 items.
Tax Shift
You can change the programmed taxable 1 or 2 status
of each department key by pressing one or both of the
two tax shift keys
and . To change the taxable
status, press the appropriate tax shift key just before
the department,
P or % key. In case of repetitive
entries, the shifted tax status is used.
Tax Delete
This function is used when the taxable item or items
once entered need to be made non-taxable. Press
or
, then #/ SBTL , and v and all entries made so far in
the transaction for items with the specified taxable
status will be made non-taxable.
Operation Examples
When Paid by Cash
1. Turn the mode switch to the REG position.
2. Enter the clerk code (1 to 4) and press
CLK# . (Once
the clerk code is entered, you need not enter the
clerk code at the start of each transaction until the
clerk is changed.)
3 Enter the price for the first item.
4. Press the appropriate department key.
5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all the remaining items.
6. Press
#/ SBTL to display the amount due including any
tax (you can omit this step).
7. Enter the amount received from the customer (you
can omit this step if the amount tendered is the
same as the subtotal).
8. Press , and the change due is displayed and
the drawer opens.
9. Close the drawer.
Reading and Resetting
of Sales
X Reports
This report, when taken in the X/Flash mode, prints
the accumulated information of sales. Taking an X
report is a good way to do a mid-day check on
daily sales. You can take X reports any number of
times, because they do not affect the cash
register’s memory.
To issue an X report, turn the mode switch to the
X/Flash position and press
.
Z Reports
The contents of Z reports are the same as those of
X reports, but issuance of a Z report resets all the
transaction totals to zero. To issue a Z report, turn
the mode switch to the Z/PGM position.
D D D D D If the secret code is programmed, you must
enter the secret code and press after
this step.
For Z reports without grand total resetting
Press
.
D D D D D If the secret code is programmed, you have
to enter the secret code and press
again after this step.
For Z reports with grand total resetting
If you want to reset the grand total(GT)when taking
the Z report, press
k instead of .
Other than resetting the grand total, this report is
the same as the normal Z reports.
D D D D D If the secret code is programmed, you have
to enter the secret code and press k again
after this step.

When an Error Occurs
When your register goes into an error mode, it will
display the error symbol “e” accompanied with a
warning beep. Clear the error state by pressing the
CL
key and take the appropriate action.
1. You enter a number of more than 7 digits for
the department price or a number larger than
the 79999999 (8 digits) for other amounts.
Press
CL and re-enter a correct number.
2. You make an error in key operation:
Press CL and operate keys correctly.
3. You make an entry beyond a programmed
entry digit limit:
Press
CL and check if the entered amount is
correct. If not correct, re-enter a correct number. If
correct, check the setting of the entry digit limit.
4. A subtotal exceeds 79999999 (eight digits):
Press CL and then press , g or k to finish
the transaction.
5. The number of an item exceeds 3 digits in
multiplication entry:
Press
CL and re-enter the correct number.
Error Escape Function
When an error or something uncontrollable occurs
during a transaction entry and you cannot keep the
customer waiting, press
ESC twice (following CL when
in the error state). You can escape the situation and
finalize the transaction as a cash sale at that time.
Transaction entries to that point are registered.

Entering a Refund
The cash register has no refund key. You must use the
following alternative method to make a refund entry: A
negative department for refund must be programmed in
advance. Check the taxable status of the returned item
is the same as that of the programmed negative
department. If not, use the appropriate tax shift key to
change the taxable status.
Procedure

Non-add Code Number
Non-add code numbers can be entered and printed on
the journal (or receipt) during the entry of a sale. Non-
add codes can be used for credit numbers, check
numbers, serial numbers, product codes, service charge
codes or any other numbers for reference to specific
Part Names and Functions

Consecutive receipt number can be printed on every

time. Use the following sequence to set the receipt
start number. To start from a specific number, enter
the number less one (e.g. if you want to start from
receipt number 1001, enter 1000).
Consecutive (receipt) number ➝ @/TM ➝ #/ SBTL (➝ #/ SBTL )

where R, M and Q represent the following:
R: Tax rate (0.0000% to 99.9999%) x 10000
If the rate is fractional, it should be converted to its
decimal equivalent before entering.
M: Cycle (0.01 to 99.99) x 100
In tax table 1, you can see that the breakpoint
differences repeat in cycle. The value of M may be
viewed as the taxable amount which is covered by a
cycle. Thus, it can be determined by adding all of the
breakpoint differences in a cycle or by simply taking the
difference between the first breakpoint of the cycle and
the first breakpoint of the next cycle.
Q: Minimum taxable amount (0.01 to 99.99) x 100
This represents the smallest amount for which tax must
be collected. In some states, sales whose amounts are
less than a specific minimum taxable amount are not
subject to taxation.
Breakpoints (0.01 to 99.99) x 100
The tax amount increases in stages. The value of a
taxable subtotal at which the tax amount changes is
called a breakpoint. The difference between one
breakpoint and the next is called the breakpoint
difference. A group of breakpoint differences is
repeated at regular intervals and each of these intervals
is called a cycle. A maximum of 18 breakpoints (for tax
types 1 and 2), between 0.01 to 99.99, can be
programmed. Intervals between breakpoints must be
less than one dollar.
Example: Programmig Tax 1 as 6% sales tax using
sample tax table 1.

In Case of a Power Failure or
Paper Jam
The following situations may arise during a power
failure or paper jam. (Make sure that batteries are
correctly installed.) As the power is recovered or a
paper jam is removed, the register will resume
normal operation with a next key operation.
When a power failure occurs with the register
turned on or during a computation process:
Upon power recovery, the register resumes
operation from the point of failure.
When a power failure occurs during printing of
transaction data:
Upon power recovery, the register prints
“############” and resumes printing of the
transaction data.
When a power failure occurs during printing of
an X (reading) or Z (reading and resetting)
report:
Upon power recovery, the register prints

Secret Code
A secret code can be specified so that only those
who know the secret code may issue Z reports for
reading and resetting of sales, perform
programming in the Z/PGM mode and void
operation in the VOID mode. The pre-programmed
secret code setting is 0000 (no secret code). Use
the following sequence to enter a secret code (4
