Provided below is information on how to maintain your cash register.

NOTE: Before cleaning the cash register, make sure it is powered off

and/or unplugged from the wall outlet. Before unplugging the cash register from the wall outlet, make sure that four charged AA standard backup batteries are installed in the battery compartment. All data stored in memory will be cancelled if

you unplug the cash register from the electrical wall outlet without back-up battery supply.

1. Keep all liquids away from the cash register so as to avoid spills which could damage the electronic components.

2. To clean the cash register firstly turn it off and/or unplug it from the wall outlet (be sure the back-up batteries are installed), then use just a damp cloth. Do not use corrosive substances such as solvents, alcohol, petrol, or abrasive components.

3. If the cash register is stored in extreme hot or cold temperatures (below 32 degrees or above 104 degrees Fahrenheit), allow the temperature inside the cash register to reach room temperature before turning it on.

4. DO NOT attempt to pull the paper tape when the cash register is printing or when you are loading paper. Always use the [Feed] key to feed paper. Pulling the paper tape could damage the print mechanism.

5. Insert the edge of the paper into the paper slot as shown in the figure.

6. Press the [Feed] key and manually feed the paper into the slot until the paper catches and advances approximately six to ten inches above the print mechanism.

NOTE: If the paper does not feed properly, check the alignment of the

paper in the slot and/or for the straight edge on the end of the paper roll.

7. If you are loading dual-ply paper for a journal record, slide the top edge of the inner ply through the slots on the plastic journal winder spindle and manually roll the winder toward the rear of the rear of the cash register to take up slack in the tape. Make sure that the two wheels on the spindle are positioned towards the right-hand side.

Quick Start is a brief but complete start-up procedure that allows you to begin using your new cash register as quickly as possible. Carefully follow the steps listed below:

1. Make sure cash register is plugged into a grounded power outlet.

2. Insert the PRG key into the Control Lock and turn it to the PRG

position.

3. Set the current date in the day/month/year format by typing the

corresponding numeric keys and then pressing [#/ST/NS]. Single digits must be preceded by a zero. For example, to set August 5, 1998, type [050898] and then press the [#/ST/NS] key to store your entry.

If you wish that the date just entered be printed in the month/day/year format, type [40] and then press the [Void] Key.

4. Set the current time using the 24-hour (military) format and then

pressing [Qty/Time]. Also in this case single digits must be preceded by a zero. For example, to set 1:05 P.M., type [1305] and then press the [Qty/Time] to store your entry. To set 9:15 A.M., type [0915] and then press [Qty/Time].

If you wish that the time just entered be printed in the 24-hour format, type [220] and then press the [Void] Key.

5. Set a machine number by entering a four digit number and then

pressing [+%/PO]. For example, to set machine number 5, type [0005] and then press [+%/PO].

6. Set the first of up to four possible VAT rates. For example, to set a

VAT1 rate of 5.5%, type [1] and then press the [Tax Set] key, type [5500] (three digits must be entered after the desired decimal point) and then confirm with the [Amt Tend/TOTAL] key.

7. Program standard Department 1 as VAT1 to a single positive item price sale. For example, to assign VAT1, positive single item cash sale and a price of £3.00 to standard Department 1, type [002001] and then press [Subtotal w/Tax], type [300] and then press [Department 1/21].

8. When programming is complete, exit the program mode by turning the PRG key to the OFF position.

9. Practice normal sales transactions by switching the cash register into the Training Mode. This mode is very useful to new users as it allows them to simulate sales transactions without recording these trials in the X or Z management reports. More information on this mode is give in the section entitled Training Mode.

Once you have mastered the Quick Start operations, you will undoubtedly want to expand your use of the machine by studying other sections of this manual and incorporating new programming into your personalized cash management system. For example, other valueable functions include Percent Discount Rate, Percent Plus Rate, Price Look-Ups (PLUs), Euro Currency Conversions, and many more.
