Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Euro-150TE/TX Flexy electronic cash register. Before you begin using the cash register, read these instructions to become familiar with the register‘s features and functions. Be sure to save this manual for future use. It will help you resolve problems that may arise.
IMPORTANT NOTICES
• Do not leave switched-on equipment unattended!
• Install the cash register in a place where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight, unusual changes in temperature
(below 0°C and over 45°C) or high humidity. Installation in an unsuitable place could cause damage to the casing and electrical components.
• Prior to use, leave the cash register connected to the power adapter for at least 4 hours in order to charge the internal battery (if the cash register is equipped with an internal battery).
• When charging the battery, the external casing of the cash register may heat up; therefore, we recommend that it not be placed near inflammable materials (if the cash register is equipped with an internal battery).
• Upon carrying the cash register from a cool environment to a warm one, or vice versa, do not switch it on for at
least 20 minutes.
• The cash register should not be operated by a person with wet hands. Water could penetrate to the interior and
cause the failure of parts.
• Clean the cash register with a soft, dry cloth. Never use cleaning agents such as petrol and other solvents. The
use of such chemicals can lead to damage to the register casing or discoloration.
• Prevent beverages from being spilled over the register. Liquids can damage the functionality of the cash register.
The register keyboard in particular should be thoroughly protected.
• Connect the cash register to a standard electrical socket (230V±10%) using the adapter provided. Some electri­cal equipment connected in the same network circuit can cause the improper functioning of the cash register.
In such a case, use a special anti-jamming device recommended by the maker of the register.
Notice: The adapter is specified only for interior use!
• If the cash register is not working properly, take it to an authorized service center technician. Do not attempt to repair the cash register yourself. Do not open the cash register and do not damage the seal!
• If the equipment is to be fully disconnected from the electrical network, unplug the AC/DC adapter from its elec-
tric outlet.
• If an external adapter is connected to the cash register, the internal battery which powers the cash register is also
charged even when the cash register is turned off.
• If a red streak appears at the end of the paper ribbon, change the ribbon as soon as possible. Changing the rib­bon too late could damage to the printer or decrease its lifespan.
• Use a paper ribbon that is not glued at its end. If such a paper ribbon is used and not changed early enough,
the printer could be damaged or its lifespan could be shortened. In such a case, the warranty for the damaged printer is no longer valid.
• We recommend using only high-quality thermal paper ribbons. Improper ribbons may damage the cash register printer or possibly shorten its lifespan. With the use of suitable ribbons and proper maintenance, the printer has an average lifespan up to 25 million printed lines. You can find detailed information in the chapter Usage and Storage of Paper Ribbons.
• Journal paper storage recommendations: Do not expose thermal paper to direct sunlight and temperatures above 40°C. Avoid contact with PVC, mollifiers, organic solvents, glues and water. When taping a report into an ac­counts book, only press tape at the end of the paper ribbon in order not to damage the printed data. Paper
ribbons must be kept in proper storage conditions in order to preserve data according to valid provisions. It is
important to use only paper ribbons which meet all of the required characteristics of the manufacturer. If stor­age conditions are not met or low-quality paper ribbons are used, the Elcom company cannot guarantee the quality of the printing or the preservation of data.

Introduction
• Use only the AC/DC adapter provided or an adapter recommended by an authorized dealer. The use of other
types of adapters may result in damage to the adapter or the cash register.
Notice: For communication between the cash register and a computer, use only the program recommended by your
authorized dealer and the original connection cable for the cash register.
• If the cash register is used in different ways than those described in these instructions, the dealer cannot be re-
sponsible for any incorrect data or damage that may result.
• Only equipment which conforms to European Union standards (CE) should be connected to the Euro-150TE/TX
Flexy. In other cases, the Elcom company cannot guarantee the adherence to standards of whole system. Your
authorized dealer or the Elcom company can inform you about the possibilities of connecting the Euro-150TE/ TX Flexy cash register with different equipment.
• A symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product, upon completion of its use, should not
be treated as common household waste. Instead it should be handed over to a special take-back scheme for
the recycling of electrical equipment and electronic components. By ensuring the proper disposal
of this product, you will help preserve natural resources and help prevent potential negative
consequences on the environment and on human health. You can get further details from your
local office or from the nearest waste-collection centre.

BASIC DEFINITIONS
Logo
The heading of each printed receipt contains introductory information, followed by a description of the goods purchased. It is primarily used to identify the owner of the cash register (company name, address, tax information, company identification, etc.)

Tax level
Tax level is used to determine the tax on the goods sold. It is characterized by a percent value.
Measure units
Sales units are used in connection with the quantity of goods sold (meters, liters, etc.). Each PLU has a specific sales unit assigned which indicates the quantity of the goods sold. It is possible to program 8 specific sales
units with a maximum of three characters.

Introduction
PLU
PLU (Price Look Up) is an abbreviation used to denote a specific product item. The PLU code represents the name of the product, the sale price, its barcode and flags (assignment to a department, VAT level, PLU
type, etc.)
DPT
Departments (DPTs) are used to denote groups of goods having some common features (dairy products,
foodstuffs, fruit, etc.). A department is characterised by it’s name, parameters, and by the preprogrammed
selling price, if it is used for direct sale.
For example: whole milk – 0.63 GBP, plain yogurt – 0.31 GBP.
The connection between departments and PLUs
The example in figure 1.2 clearly illustrates the relation between the departments and the product items
(PLUs).

Reports
Reports provide an overview of sales according to selected criteria (daily totals, periodical (e.g., monthly), etc.). There are two basic types of reports: „X“ and „Z“.
„X“ reports print out specific sales values (according to the report selected) without zeroing out this data in
the cash register memory
„Z“ reports print out the sales values of the selected report, and after the printing of these values, zeroes
out the cash register memory.
Barcodes
A barcode is a graphic encoding of a number signifying a product according to strictly defined international
regulations. If a product has a barcode assigned, the barcode is depicted on each packaging for this product.
The most frequently used codes for products in Europe are the 13-digit code according to the EAN norm (EAN - 13) and the 8-digit code (EAN-8). The Euro-150TE/TX Flexy cash register is also capable of working with EAN barcodes which contain an expanded 2 or 5-digit section. The cash register does now allow the
same code to be assigned to different products.

Weight and price barcodes
The cash register is also capable of processing barcodes containing product weights or the price of a product.
The recommended prefixes for coding amounts are 27, 28 or 29 and for coding prices are 24, 25 or 26. A weight barcode is in the format: PPXXXXVMMMMMK, where PP is the barcode prefix, XXXX is the PLU number (0001 – 2400, up to. 9999), V is the control number for the scale, MMMMM is the weight of the product to the third decimal place and K is the control number for the barcode. A price barcode is also in this same format, but MMMMM is the price of the product, not the weight.

Expanded barcodes
The Euro-150TE/TX Flexy cash register allows you to work with expanded barcodes EAN-13 (+2) and EAN-13 (+5) with the prefixes 977 and 978, which are used to designate serial publications. If in the programming
mode an item is assigned an expanded barcode through the barcode scanner, the cashier must decide
whether to store the entire code or only its 13-place base. When entering of an expanded barcode from
the keyboard the entire code is stored, including the expanded portion. If in registration mode, an item is registered by entering an expanded barcode, the entire entered code is initially searched for. If an item is not
found, an additional search is made, but only with the 13-place basis of the entered code.
The barcode scanner
A barcode scanner is a device which ensures the scanning of a barcode. The device is used at the point-of-
sale for the rapid and accurate registering of products being purchased.
Figure 1.5 – Barcode scanner

Introduction
Cumulated totals (grandtotals
Cumulated totals are variables that cumulate the values from all sales. There are usually three known
grandtotals: GT1, GT2, and GT3. Their meaning is as follows:
GT1 - gross turnover - this means the cumulated total of all positive values registered in the ECR
GT2 - net turnover - the net turnover means the difference between gross turnover and negative turnover
GT3 - negative turnover - this means the cumulated total of all negative vlaues (refunds, discounts...) registered in the ECR.
Concepts defining payments in a foreign currency
Primary currency
The currency in which all important financial calculations in the cash register are kept.
Foreign (secondary) currency
An optional other currency serving for making payments and withdrawals concurrently with the primary cur­rency. The cash register allows a record of withdrawals and payments to be kept in one foreign currency.

PAPER RIBBONS INSTALLATION
The Euro-150TE Flexy cash register uses one thermal paper ribbon whose width is 57 mm. The Euro-150TX
Flexy cash register uses two thermal paper ribbons whose width is 38 mm The ribbon serves for the printing
of customer receipt. The cash register keeps the control receipt in electronic form. for Euro-150TE Flexy version and for Euro-150TX Flexy cash register keeps the control receipt in paper form
We recommend using only rolls of good quality paper with a maximum diameter of 55 mm. To ensure proper
cash register operation, it is important to be sure that the print is sufficiently saturated. If any problems occur,
contact your local authorized Euro-150TE/TX Flexy dealer.

Usage and storage of paper ribbons
Conditions for the proper storage of thermal paper rolls supplied by Elcom, with which the producer guarantees the
consistency of the printer output for at least 5 years and special ribbons of the type TC for minimally 12 years:
• room temperature of 18 to 25°C,
• relative air humidity of. 40 to 60% max,
• keep away from direct sunlight.
Among impacts limiting the consistency of the printer are:
• long exposure to temperatures over 40 °C,
• being kept in a damp or humid environment,
• contact with softening materials (stored in PVC folio), with solvents, mollifiers, glues, with carbon and self-
adhesive paper, direct sunlight.
When taping a report into an accounts book, only press tape at the end of the paper ribbon in order not to damage the printed data. If proper storage conditions are not maintained or non-quality journal paper is used, Elcom cannot guarantee the quality of printing.
If the red color stripe marking the ribbon end appears, change the paper ribbon immediately. Delay in changing
the paper roll can damage the printer or possibly shorten its lifespan.
USING A MEMORY CARD
The slot for the memory card is located in the space for the cash register ribbon spool (see Fig. 2.8). For
access to the memory card it is necessary to open the printer cover and lift the printer head. The Euro-150TE/
TX Flexy cash register supports work with memory cards of the SD type (up to a capacity of 2 GB) and SDHC
(the Elcom company does not guarantee functionality of the cash register with cards of the micro and mini
SD type). At present it is possible to use the memory card for the export and import PLU databases, DPT, cashiers, text and graphic logos and storage of electronic journals (see the chapter „Export and Import“).
