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.

Getting Started

Initializing the Cash Register
For your cash register to operate properly, you must initialize it before programming for the first time. Follow this procedure. 1. Remove the register from its packing carton. 2. Insert one of the supplied mode keys 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 cash register has been initialized. The display will show "0.00" with . 5. Attach the printer cover. Improper use of batteries could cause them to burst or leak, which might damage the interior of the cash register. Please take the following precautions: 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. Remove the batteries if you plan not to use the cash register for long periods. Should a battery leak, clean out the battery compartment immediately, taking care not to let the battery fluid come into direct contact with your skin. If an incorrect battery is used, it may explode or leak. For battery disposal, follow the relevant law or regulation in your country. 5. Attach the printer cover. (For receipt printing, step 4 should be omitted.)

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 key once to continue programming or twice to exit the program mode.

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.

Time (2:30 p.m.)

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@.

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.
For tax table programming, see "programming"

Setting the Date

In the Z/PGM mode, enter the date in 6 digits using the month-day-year format. Press the key once to continue programming or twice to exit the program mode.

Installing a Paper Roll

Always install the paper roll even when you set the register for not printing journal or receipt in REG mode. 1. Push the printer cover forward and detach it. 2. Place a paper roll in the paper roll cradle so that the paper unrolls from the bottom.
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:

Tax number(1-4)

Date (March 15, 2006)
Always enter the date in 6 digits. For example, enter for March 15, 2006. If you change the date format in the Z/PGM mode, follow the newly specified format when setting the date.

Then place the take-up spool on the bearing. 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).

Tax Programming

Tax Table Programming
If you are in an area that uses a tax table for tax calculation, you can program the cash register accordingly. Tax table programming can be performed for Tax 1 and Tax 2.
Sample tax table 1 (6%): Tax.00.01.02.03.04.05.06.07.08.09.10.11.12.13 Breakpoint Breakpoint difference.01.11.23.39.57.73.89 1.11 1.23 1.39 1.57 1.73 1.89 2.11.10.12.16.18.16.16.22.12.16.18.16.16.22 Non-cyclic

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.

VAT (Tax) Calculation
Your cash register provides the following six tax systems. Your cash register is pre-programmed as manual VAT 1 to 4 system. Auto VAT 1 to 4 system (automatic operation method using programmed percentages) This system, at settlement, calculates VAT for taxable 1 through 4 subtotals by using the corresponding programmed percentages. Auto tax 1 to 4 system (automatic operation method using programmed percentages) This system, at settlement, calculates taxes for taxable 1 through 4 subtotals by using the corresponding programmed percentages, and also adds the calculated taxes to those subtotals, respectively. Manual VAT 1 to 4 system (manual entry method using programmed percentages) This system provides the VAT calculation for taxable 1 through 4 subtotals. This calculation is performed using the corresponding programmed percentages when V is pressed just after S. Manual VAT 1 system (manual entry method for subtotals that uses VAT 1 preset percentages) This system enables the VAT calculation for the subtotal. This calculation is performed using the VAT 1 preset percentage when V is pressed just after S. For this system, the keyed-in VAT rate can be used. In this case, after pressing S, enter the VAT rate and press V. Manual tax 1 to 4 system (manual entry method using preset percentages) This system provides the tax calculation for taxable 1 through 4 subtotals. This calculation is performed using the corresponding programmed percentages when V is pressed just after S. After this calculation, you must finalize the transaction. Auto tax 1 to 3 and auto VAT 1 system This system enables the calculation on the combination with automatic tax 1 through 3 and automatic VAT 1. The combination can be any of VAT 1 corresponding to taxable 4 and any of tax 1 trough 3 corresponding to taxable 1 through 3 for each item. The tax amount is calculated automatically with the percentages previously programmed for these taxes. VAT/tax calculation for PLU items are performed according to the one set for its associated department.

Discounts and Premiums Using the Percent Key
If you want to apply a discount or a premium for an item, enter the percent rate and press the percent key. If you want to apply a discount or premium for the subtotal, enter all the items, press S and then press the percent key following the percent rate. Your machine is pre-programmed as discount. If you change to premium, refer to the percent key programming section. Also you can preset a percent rate. If a percent rate is preset, you do not have to enter a percent rate before pressing the percent key. For the programming, also refer to the percent key programming section. Example Applying a 20.00% discount to an item belonging to department 3

8:# 20:% t

Example Applying a 15.00% discount to the subtotal of a transaction

8P 12P 8:! S 15:% t

Currency Exchange

Your register allows payment entries of foreign currency when you programmed a currency exchange rate. After items entries or during tendering entries, press E, the subtotal in foreign currency can be displayed. Then enter the tendered amount in foreign currency if not exact amount payment, and press a finalization key (t / C or R when programmed). The change due in domestic currency will be displayed. When the amount tendered is short, the deficit is shown in domestic currency. If you select "Yes" for cheque and credit operation when tendering in foreign currency in EURO programming, you can finalize a sale in foreign currency using C or R. If you select Yes for exchange amount printing for total and change in EURO programming, you can display a change in foreign currency by pressing E when the change is displayed in domestic currency. To return to the display in domestic currency, press E again. Example Selling a department 3 item (price 79.50) in a foreign currency. (Preset exchange rate: 1.550220

7950# E 130: t No Sale

Amount tendered in foreign currency
When you need to open with no sale, for example to make changes, just press t. The drawer will open.

Refund

Since your cash register comes with no refund key, make a negative department (see the required programming on page 9) and use it. Check that the taxable status of the returned item is the same as that of the negative department. Otherwise the tax will not be calculated correctly.

Non-add Code Number

Non-add code numbers can be entered and printed on the receipt or journal during the entry of a sale. Non-add codes can be used for a variety of things. For example: credit numbers, check numbers, serial numbers, products codes, service charge codes, or any other numbers for later reference to specific transactions. Enter a code number of up to 8 digits and press S.

X reports for reading of sales
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 registers memory. To issue an X report, set the mode switch to the X/Flash position and press t.

Page 16

Z reports for reading and resetting of sales
This report, when taken in the Z/PGM mode, prints the same information as an X report. Once this report had been printed, the cash registers memory of daily information is cleared and all the transaction totals are reset to zero. Be sure to issue a Z report at the end of each day. With a Z report printing, you can also reset GT (ground total). To issue a Z report, follow the procedure described below. 1. Set the mode switch to the Z/PGM position. 2. If necessary, enter the secret code and press t. To issue a Z report with resetting of GT: 3. Press C. 4. If necessary, enter the secret code and press C.
