PAPER ROLLS
Installing the Paper Roll into your AX-100
Your cash register comes fitted with a thermal printer which uses a 58mm paper
roll. If a customer receipt is not always required, then there is a paper saving
option available by pressing the button on the keyboard (this is indicated
by an LED on the display). A receipt is available on request after the sale by
depressing the button.
Fig 1
Before installing the paper roll, be sure to do the following:
Orient the paper roll so that it rotates in a counter clockwise direction, as shown in
above.
Note
1. As thermal paper is used, it has a right and wrong side for printing. If you
install it the wrong way round (the heat sensitive side away from the print
head) no printing will be possible.
2. Carefully avoid touching the metal paper cutter when removing the paper
cover, it is very sharp.

Page 5
Installing the Paper Roll for the Receipt
1. Ensure the Control lock is in the ‘R’ Position
2. Simply lift up the printer cover from the front as shown below in Fig 2
Fig 2
3. Set the paper roll gently into the paper location as shown in Fig 3
4. Insert the end of the paper roll into the paper entrance as shown in Fig 4
(At this point the paper will feed automatically into position)
5. Press and hold the FEED button until approx 30cm of paper has fed through
6. Replace the printer cover, ensuring that the end of the paper is fed through
the paper tear off slot correctly.

PROGRAMMING DEPARTMENTS
There are 16 programmable Departments on the AX-100. Each
Department can have an alpha-numeric name up to a maximum of 16
digits including spaces. They can also have a preset price, a High amount
lock out and a tax link. The following shows how to program a
Department with a name and a price.
For reference to the character code table which is used to program the
names please see page 9.
PROGRAMMING THE PRICE

The above example shows a preset price of £1.00 in dept 1.
PROGRAMMING THE NAME

HALO - HIGH AMOUNT LOCK OUT
You can set a maximum monetry limit that can be entered into a Department.
The following example will program Department 1 to a maximum limit of 9.99
ENT
RLS

Please note the 0 0 as stated above is assuming there is no tax set. For tax
settings please see page 16.
Department Flags 4 & 5 control the digit limitation. Dept Flag 4 controls the total
length of digits of the Halo required. Department Flag 5 controls the highest value
of the Halo required.
Example 69.99 would be programmed as 4 6
(4 digits in length and the 4
th
digit highest number = 6)
Example 9.99 would be programmed as 3 9
(3 digits in length and the 3
