Sharp ER-A520 - Manual (Page 104)

Your machine is equipped with 20 (ER-A520)/10 (ER-A530) standard departments and a maximum of 99
departments. Your machine allows you to perform the following programming for each department.
Functional programming 1
You can set each department for:
Item validation printing
If item entries must be validated, program corresponding departments for compulsory validation printing.
Tare table number
Tare table number associated with scale entry (0 thru 9, 0: not used)
Scale entry
Program a department for scale entry allowed when your store needs automatic scale entries.
Registration type
• If an entry of a department programmed for SICS is made first, the scale will be finalized as soon as the
department key is pressed. If the entry is made after entering a department not programmed for SICS, the
sale will not be finalized until the
Ç
key is pressed.
• Whenever a sale is made to a department programmed for SIF, the sale is finalized as soon as the
department key is pressed.
Department type
You may program each department as one of the following three types.
• Normal department
• Hash department
A hash department is used to enter the amount of a special “sale”, such as a gift certificate sale or for the
receipt of payment for utility bills, theatre tickets, etc., i.e. “non-sales” registrations. Any amounts entered in
this department are not added to the grand total except tax amounts.
• Bottle Return (BR)
• Gas department
The gas department enables you calculate the quantity of gas sold in gallon by using a preset unit price when
the sale amount of gas is entered. (quantity of gas = sales amount entered / preset unit price)
Also gas discount can be automatically applied to the sales. (discount amount = total amount of gas x reduced
unit price for each media; cash/check/charge)
If your register has not been set for “Bottle return, Hash and gas dept.” by your dealer, you cannot
program the department for those operations. So contact your dealer if you need them.
Type of unit price entry
You may select one of the following four types of unit price entry for each department.
• Open and preset
• Preset only
• Open only
• Inhibit department key
