4 P AR TS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS Front vie w Rear view External View 1 The printer is one station type thermal printer, and therefore it does not require any type of ink ribbon or cartridge. Lift the rear of the printer cover to remove. To re-install, hook on the pawls on the cabinet and close.
5 The mode switch can be operated by inserting one of the two supplied mode keys - manager (MA) and operator (OP) keys. These keys can be inserted or removed only in the “ REG ” or “ OFF ” position. The mode switch has these settings: OFF: This mode locks all register operations.
6 This key locks and unlocks the drawer. To lock it, turn 90 degrees counterclockwise. To unlock it, turn 90 degrees clockwise. Drawer Loc k Key 6 Operator display Customer display (Pop-up type) Amount: Appears in the far-right eight (max.) positions.
7 GETTING ST AR TED Please follow the procedure shown below. The batteries are not installed and the power is OFF. Three new “ AA ” batteries must be installed in the cash register to prevent the data and user-programmed settings from being erased from the memory, when the AC cord is accidentally disconnected or in case of power failure.
8 3. Insert three new “AA” batteries as illustrated at the right. When the batteries are properly installed “ ” on the display will disappear. 4. Close the battery compartment cover. Be sure to observe precautions shown on page 1 when handling batteries.
9 5. When not using the take-up spool (using as receipt paper): • Cut off the excess paper using the edge of the inner cover, and replace the printer cover.
10 Now you are ready for sales registration. Starting sales entries 7 • Split pricing entry This is not factory preset. You must enable this function.
11 O VER VIEW OF FLO W OF D AIL Y SALES ENTRIES Things to do before you start sales entries: • Make sure the power cord is securely inserted into the AC outlet. • Turn the mode switch to OP X/Z position, and check if time is correctly set. • Replace the drawer, if removed for safety.
12 B ASIC SALES ENTR Y On the below, basic sales entry example when selling department items by cash is shown. For operation details, please refer to each section. Mode switch setting 1. Turn the mode switch to the REG position. Clerk assignment 2. Enter your clerk code.
13 Clerk assignment Prior to any item entries, clerks must enter their clerk codes into the register. However, the code entry may not be necessary when the same clerk handles the next transaction.
14 Single item entries Department entries For a merchandise classification, the cash register provides a maximum of 99 departments. To the departments, group attributes such as taxable status are applied on items when they are entered.
15 Repeat entries You can use this function for entering a sale of two or more of the same items. Repeat pressing a department key, d key or p key as shown on key operation example. Multiplication entries When you sell a large quantity of items, it is convenient to use the multiplication entry method.
16 Split pricing entries This function is practical when the customer wants to purchase items normally sold in bulk. To realize this function, you must change the programmed setting. Refer to “ Various Function Selection Programming 1 ” ( job code 70 ) for programming details.
17 Single item cash sale (SICS) entry • This function is useful when a sale is for only one item and is for cash. This function is applicable only to those departments that have been set for SICS or to their associated PLUs or subdepartments.
18 Check tendering Cash or chec k sale that does not require entry Enter items and press the A key if it is a cash sale or press the C if it is a check sale. Your register will display the total sale amount. Charge (credit) sale Enter items and press the charge key ( c ).
19 A utomatic tax When the register is programmed with a tax rate (or tax table) and the tax status of an individual department is set for taxable, it computes the automatic tax on any item that is entered directly into the department or indirectly via a related PLU.
20 T ax status shift The machine allows you to shift the programmed tax status of each department or the PLU key by pressing the T and/or U keys before those keys. After each entry is completed, the programmed tax status of each key is resumed. Example: Selling the following items for cash with their programmed tax status reversed • One $13.
21 OPTIONAL FEA TURES Discount and premium entries using the percent ke y The percent key is used to apply a manually entered or preset discount or premium percent rate to individual items or to a merchandise subtotal. In the default setting, you can manually enter a discount percent rate to both individual items and merchandise subtotal.
22 Discount for the merchandise subtotal Discount for item entries Refund entries For a refund of a department item, start with entering the refund amount and press the f key, then press the correspon.
23 Currency con version The register allows payment entries in a foreign currency (only cash payment is available). Pressing the V key creates a subtotal in the foreign currency.
24 Received-on Account and P aid-out Entries When you receive on account from a customer or when you pay an amount to a vendor, it is a good idea to use the r key or the R key respectively. For the received-on-account (RA) entry, enter the amount, and press the r key.
25 CORRECTION If you make an incorrect entry relating to a department, PLU/subdepartment, percentage ( % and & ), discount ( - ) or refund, you can void this entry by pressing the v key immediately after the incorrect entry.
26 You can void an entire transaction. Once subtotal void is executed, the transaction is aborted and the register issues a receipt. This function does not work when more than 30 items have been entered. Any errors found after the entry of a transaction has been completed or during an amount tendered entry cannot be voided.
27 PRIOR T O PR OGRAMMING Before starting sales entries, you must first program necessary items so that the cash register suits your sales manner. In this manual, there are three sections, BASIC FUNCT.
28 Time For setting the time, enter the time in 4 digits using the 24-hour format. For example, when the time is set to 2:30 AM, enter 230; and when it is set to 2:30 PM, enter 1430. In the display, current time is displayed in 12-hour format. For AM time, “ ” and for PM time “ ” will appear in the rightmost position with the current time.
29 Example: Programming the tax rate 4% as tax rate 2 with tax exempt as 12¢ • If you make an incorrect entry before pressing the third @ key in programming a tax rate, cancel it with the l key. • You do not need to enter the trailing zeros of the tax rate (after the decimal point), but you do need to enter the decimal for fractions.
30 The first figure to be entered depends upon whether the difference between a minimum breakpoint to be entered and the preceding minimum breakpoint is not less than $1.00 or more than 99¢. When the difference is not less than $1.00, enter “ 1, ” and when it is not more than 99¢, enter “ 0 ” or nothing.
31 • If the tax is not provided for every cent, modify the tax table by setting the tax for every cent in the following manner. When setting the tax, consider the minimum breakpoint corresponding to unprovided tax to be the same as the one corresponding to the tax provided on a large amount.
32 A UXILIAR Y FUNCTION PR OGRAMMING Merchandise can be classified into a maximum of 99 departments. Items sold with use of the department keys can later be printed on a report that shows the quantities sold and sales amounts classified by department.
33 Example: Programming department 2 as taxable 1, SICS, negative department, entry digit limit - 7 digits, and allowing open & preset entry. (ABCDEFGH: 00011173) Preset unit price To program another department, start from the beginning without pressing the A key.
34 Unit price and associated department assignment *2: 1 through 1200 (Depending on the EJ memory size setting, up to 200) *3: For a subdepartment, set the limit amount of unit price entry. To program the following PLU, start from entering a unit price or an associated department code without pressing the A key.
35 The cash register provides miscellaneous keys such as % , & , - , f , r , R , V , t , C , c and A . While the cash register is pre-programmed so you can use these keys, you must set a currency conversion rate to use V key. You can also program these keys for more convenient use.
36 Amount for - P ercent rate limitation f or % and & • Percent entries that exceed the upper limit may be overridden in the MGR mode. • 10.00% can be entered as 10 or 10P00 .
37 *: Item: Selection: Entry: A Tax 4 status Taxable 1 Non-taxable 0 B Tax 3 status Taxable 1 Non-taxable 0 C Tax 2 status Taxable 1 Non-taxable 0 D Tax 1 status Taxable 1 Non-taxable 0 E +/- sign + (.
38 Entry digit limit for r , R and t • For rR , enter 0 to 9 (digits), and for t (manual tax), enter 0 to 7 (digits). Entry digit limit is in effect for REG-mode operation but can be overridden in the MGR mode. The entry digit limit is represented by the number of allowable digits for maximum entry or total amount.
39 The register allows you to program the texts for clerk names, department item names, PLU/subdepartment item names, and so on, if necessary. There are two ways for programming text: using character keys on the keyboard or entering character codes with numeric keys on the keyboard.
40 Alphanumeric character code table (DC): Double-size character code ✱ ✱ Code 001 002 003 004 005 006 007 008 009 010 011 012 013 014 015 016 017 018 019 020 021 022 023 024 025 026 027 028 029 0.
