GETTING STARTED

Follow these steps when you use the cash register for the first time.

Purchase and install three R6 or LR 6 batteries (“AA” size). The batteries prevent the data and userprogrammed settings from being erased, when the AC cord is accidentally disconnected or in case of a power failure. The batteries will last approximately one year. If the low battery symbol “ ” appears on the far left of the display, you must replace within two days. And if the no battery symbol “ ” appears, you must replace them at once.

To install the batteries, use the following procedure.

1. Turn the mode switch to the “OP X/Z” position.

The display will change to time display with the symbol “ ”.

2. Remove the printer cover.

Lift up the rear of the printer and detach it.

Be very careful with the manual cutter mounted on the cover, so as not to cut yourself.

Initialize the Cash Register

In order for your cash register to operate properly, you must initialize the cash register before programming for the first time. Use the following procedure:

Before initializing the cash register, make sure that the plug is not connected to the outlet, and the batteries are not mounted in the register.

1. Turn the mode switch to the “PGM” position.

2. Insert the plug into the outlet.

The right most decimal point will blink for a few seconds, then the register will sound three beeps and display “ 0.00” .

Unpack the cash register and place it in a location near a wall outlet. Be sure to locate it in such a location as described in “IMPORTANT” (page 1). To prevent the register from moving the drawer, fix the drawer with the fixing angle bracket. To fix the drawer, please refer “Installing the fixing angle bracket” of “OPERATOR MAINTENANCE” (page 42).

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.

Currency exchange

Your register allows payment entries of foreign currency. Pressing the ekey creates a subtotal in foreign currency.

*Exchange rate: 0.000000 to 999.999999

• When the amount tendered is short, the deficit is shown in domestic currency.

• Availability of credit and cheque tendering is depending on programming (only for preset exchange rate).

• A programmed foreign currency symbol is printed when you apply preset rate.

• If you want to print the exchange rate on receipt/journal, please consult your dealer.

Simply press the Ékey without any entry. The drawer will open and the printer will print “NS” on the journal or the receipt.

If your customer wants a receipt after you have finalized a transaction with the receipt function being in the “OFF” status (no receipting), press the

key after transaction. This will produce a receipt.

• Pressing the

key in the OP X/Z mode before registration toggles the status “ON” and “OFF”.

• When more than 64 lines are entered, the receipt will be issued in the format of summary receipt print.

You can achieve a programmed transaction simply by pressing a corresponding automatic sequencing key. For programming the

key, refer to page 32.

With the ?key, you can void any incorrect department entry, PLU/subdepartment entry or item refund entry made during a transaction if you find it before finalizing the transaction (e.g. pressing the

key).

You can void an entire transaction. Once subtotal void is executed, the transaction is aborted and the register issues a receipt.

If you find errors during the tendering operation or after finalizing a transaction, you can void the whole entries made in an incorrect receipt in the void mode in the following procedure. (If you find the errors during the tendering operation, enter the void mode after finalizing a transaction.)

1. Turn the mode switch to the position using the manager (MA) key to enter

the void mode.

2. Repeat the entries that are recorded on an incorrect receipt. (All data for the

incorrect receipt are removed from register memory; the voided amounts are added to the void-mode transaction totalizer.)

READING (X) AND RESETTING (Z) OF SALES TOTALS

• Use the reading function (X) when you need to take a reading of sales information entered since the last resetting. You can take this reading any number of times. It does not affect the register’s memory.

• Use the resetting function (Z) when you need to clear the register’s memory. Resetting prints all sales information and clears the entire memory except for the GT, reset count, and consecutive number.

X1 and Z1 reports: Daily sales reports X2 and Z2 reports: Periodic (monthly) consolidation reports

• In the reports, when both of sales quantity and sales amount are zero, their printing is skipped. If you do not want to skip, change the programming. (Refer to “Programming print format”.)

• “X” represents read symbol and “Z” represents reset symbol in the reports.

PROGRAMMING

This chapter illustrates how to program your cash register. Program every item necessary for your store by following the appropriate procedure.

On the key operation examples, numeric such as 1234 indicates the number or parameter which must be entered using the corresponding numeric keys.

*1: VAT/tax rate number (1-3) *2: Sign and VAT/tax rate: XYYY.YYYY (X:Sign -/+ = 1/0, YYY.YYYY:VAT/tax rate = 000.0001 to 100.0000) *3: Max. five digits: 0 to 99999

In VAT system, the sign and the lowest taxable amount are ignored. They are valid only when you select add on tax system.

Your machine is equipped with 5 (ER-A160) or 10 (ER-A180) standard departments. You can increase the number of departments up to 15 (ER-A160) or 30 (ER-A180).

Functional programming

Sign

Assign plus department for normal sales, or minus department for minus transaction.

Tax status

Assign a tax status to each department. When entries are made into taxable departments in a transaction, tax is automatically computed according to the associated tax rate as soon as the transaction is completed.

SICS (Single Item Cash Sale)

If the first registration is to a department set for SICS, the sale is finalized as soon as the department key is pressed.

Entry digit limits

Set the number of allowable digits for the maximum entry amount for each department. The limit is effective for operations in the REG mode and can be overridden in the MGR mode.

PROGRAMMING FOR EURO

Your register can be modified to correspond with each period set for the introduction of EURO, and in your register each currency is treated as shown on the table below depending on which period you are in. Basically your register can be automatically modified to correspond to the introduction of EURO by executing the modification operation in the X2/Z2 mode. However, there are several options you must set depending on your needs.

Automatic Modification of Register System for Introduction of EURO

To make your register correspond to the introduction of EURO, your register system can be automatically modified. According to the steps of the introduction, you can make your register correspond to EURO. Set the manager key (MA) to X2/Z2 position, and use the following sequence.

*A=1: Applicable for period 1 *A=2: Applicable for period 2 *A=3: Applicable for period 3

• A cashier must be signed-on before this operation.

• You can perform each operation only once with the substitution of “A=1”, “A=2” and “A=3”. If you

perform the operation with the substitution of “A=2” first, you cannot perform the operation with the substitution of “A=1”. If you perform the operation with the substitution of “A=3” first, you cannot perform the operation with the substitution of “A=1” and “A=2”.

The details of the automatic register system modification are as follows: (As for PGM functions described below, please refer to “Programming EURO system settings” and “Programming function parameters for

key”.)

When “1” is substituted to “A”:

1. Issuing a general Z1 report

2. Issuing a general Z2 report

3. Setting “printing” for a PGM function “Printing exchange total amount and change amount on receipt or

journal”

4. Setting “division” for a PGM function “Exchange calculation method”

5. Setting the EURO symbol ( ) for the currency symbol of exchange key, and setting “2” for the number of

digits after decimal point of exchange amount

6. Setting the round-off function for currency exchange

After the execution of the procedure with the substitution of “1”, treat EURO as foreign currency using the exchange key (

) with the preset rate entry.

When “2” is substituted to “A”:

1. Issuing a general Z1 report

2. Issuing a general Z2 report

3. Resetting GT

4. Setting “printing” for a PGM function “Printing exchange total amount and change amount on receipt or

journal”

5. Setting “multiplication” for a PGM function “Exchange calculation method”

6. Changing the domestic currency symbol to the EURO symbol ( ) and setting the number of digits after

decimal point of the domestic currency amount to 2

7. For the setting of the currency symbol and the number of digits after decimal point of exchange amount, the

ones that had been set to the domestic currency are set.

8. Setting the round-off function for currency exchange

After the execution of the procedure with the substitution of “2”, treat EURO as domestic currency, and previous national currency as foreign currency using the exchange key (

) with the preset rate entry. Since EURO becomes domestic currency in your register after execution of the procedure with the substitution of “2”, you must change unit prices in each department and PLU to make prices correspond to EURO before actually you start operating your register again. As for the miscellaneous keys, also please change the rates or amounts so that they are based on amounts in EURO.

5. Setting “multiplication” for a PGM function “Exchange calculation method”

6. Changing the domestic currency symbol to the EURO symbol ( ) and setting the number of digits after

decimal of the domestic currency amount to 2

7. Setting the round-off function for currency exchange

After the execution of the procedure with the substitution of “3”, treat EURO as domestic currency. When the operation with the substitution of “2” has been performed already, “3. Resetting GT” is not executed. When the operation with the substitution of “1” or “2” has been performed already, the currency symbol of exchange key is overwritten with a space.

• If you want to check the current status you are in, set the manager key (MA) to X2/Z2 position, and use the following sequence.

Optional Programming for the Introduction of EURO

Some programming relating with the function of exchange key (e) cannot be changed automatically with the execution of modification operation described in the previous section.
