Programming the VAT(Value Added Tax) rate
If you program the VAT/tax rate, your cash register can calculate the sales tax. In the VAT system, the tax is included in the price you enter in the register, and the tax amount is calculated when tendered according to the VAT rate programmed. In the tax system, the tax is calculated when tendered according to the tax rate programmed, and added to the price. Your cash register can provide totally 6 kinds of tax system and 3 kinds of rates. In the factory setting, the VAT/tax system is set to "Automatic VAT 1-3 system", and all the departments are programmed as taxable in VAT 1/tax 1 rate. So, if you set VAT 1 rate by executing the procedure shown below, VAT 1 can be calculated automatically to all the goods sold. In the current VAT/tax system, you can also use VAT 2 and VAT 3 rates when you need more than one VAT rate. Refer to "Programming the VAT/tax rate" to program multiple VAT rates, and "Programming for departments" to allocate the taxable status to departments. If you make nontaxable for some goods, program a department as nontaxable for all VAT rates. (Please note that all the goods belonging to that department are subjected to nontaxable.) If you need other types of VAT/tax system, refer to "Computation of VAT/tax" on page 14, and consult your dealer for the change of your VAT/tax system.

OPERATOR MAINTENANCE

1 Replacing the batteries
If the low battery symbol appears on the far left of the display, the voltage of the batteries is less than the required level. In this situation, you must replace new batteries within two days. And if the no battery symbol appears on the far left of the display, less than three batteries are installed in your register, or the batteries are dead. In this situation, you must replace new ones immediately. If the AC power is accidentally disconnected or in case of a power failure, all programmed settings will be reset to the default settings and any data stored in memory will be cleared.
Incorrectly using batteries can cause them to burst or leak, possibly damaging the interior of the cash register. Note the following precautions: Be sure that the positive (+) and negative (-) poles of each battery are facing in the proper direction. 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 do not plan to use the cash register for long periods. However, the data and user-programmed settings will be erased. If a battery leaks, clean out the battery compartment immediately, taking care to avoid letting the battery fluid come into direct contact with your skin. Do not throw any spent batteries into combustible waste and do not burn any spent batteries. To replace the batteries: 1. Make sure that the register is plugged in. 2. Turn the mode switch to the OP X/Z position. 3. Remove the printer cover. 4. Open the battery compartment cover located in front of the paper bed and remove the old batteries. 5. Install three new R6 or LR6 batteries (AA size) in the battery compartment. Be sure that the positive and negative poles of each battery are facing in the proper direction. When they are installed correctly, the or symbol will disappear. 6. Close the battery compartment cover. 7. Replace the printer cover.

When using a paper roll as journal paper, you must change the printer type. Refer to Programming print format on page 30. When using 2-ply journal/receipt paper, follow the same instructions as above, but lead the end of the receipt paper out through the manual cutter after winding the journal paper on the take-up spool shaft.
3 Replacing the ink ribbon
When printing becomes faded, replace the ink ribbon with a new one specified by SHARP.

Removal

To prevent the ink ribbon form drying or becoming dirty, do not remove it from its bag until just before using.
1. Remove the printer cover. 2. Cut off the paper and press the key to remove it. 3. Detach the ink ribbon cover.
Pull the tab in the direction of arrow to lift the cover.
4. Remove the ink ribbon.
Remove the reel that is not locked by the reel stopper first, and tip the stopper to the opposite side and remove the another reel. To remove the reels, pull them upwards.

Installation

The protruding side of reels must face downward. So, note which reel is the left one and which is the right. 1. Install the reel at the side that the reel stopper is not tipped. Rotate the reel to the right or to the left until it clicks into place. 2. Run the ink ribbon correctly through the printer as shown on the right sketch. Note that the ribbon is placed along the outside of the metal brackets.
3. Install the other reel in the same way, and rotate either reel to take up slack from the ribbon.
4. Replace the ink ribbon cover.
4 Ink refill (ER-A180 only)
If the logo becomes too light, its time to refill the logo ink. You must use the logo ink specified by SHARP. Consult your dealer for the logo ink. For refilling the logo ink, follow the procedure given below.
1. Remove the printer cover. 2. Remove the logo by pulling it straight up in the direction of the arrow.
3. Pour two or three drops of logo ink through the ink inlet situated on the

back of the logo.

4. Replace the logo by the reverse procedure to removing. 5. Replace the printer cover.
Precautions: The logo ink first gives a clear print 6 to 10 hours after being applied into the logo. Therefore, refilling at the end of daily business is most effective. Overinking should be avoided. This will create a blurry print. Do not apply the logo ink to the ink ribbon.

9 Program resetting

If your register is locked, perform the program resetting. When the program resetting is performed, the register returns to the initial state without erasing the sales data and user-programmed settings. The procedure is as follows: 1. Unplug the power code from the outlet. 2. Turn the mode switch to PGM position. 3. While pressing the key, plug the power code to the outlet. When the program resetting is done successfully, 2 is printed.
