Tax table programming
Programming automatic tax calculation
Important!
After you program the tax calculations, you also have to individually specify which
departments (page 29) and PLUs (page 31) are to be taxed.
For this cash register to be able to automatically register state sales tax, you must program its tax
tables with tax calculation data from the tax table for your state. There are three tax tables that you
can program for automatic calculation of three separate sales taxes.
Programming for the U.S. tax tables procedure
Find your state in the table (page 14 ~ 17) and input the data shown in the table.
State sales tax calculation data tables for all of the states that make up the United States are included
on the following pages. This data is current as of October 30, 1994.*
*Some data are revised after Oct. 30, 1994.
Important!
Be sure you use the state sales tax data specifically for your state. Even if your
state uses the same tax rate percentage as another state, inputting the wrong data
will cause incorrect result.
