UNPACKING YOUR CASH REGISTER and SET-UP

PREPARATION

When your cash register is new in its factory packaging, you will find the various items for the register packaged
separately. Look for and unwrap the following: 2 paper rolls, black journal winder spindle, bar code reader, serial
cable and duplicate key sets for the Control Lock and Cash Drawer Lock.

STANDARD ACCESSORIES

The following are included in the box with your cash register:

• Instruction manual

• (1) black plastic journal winder spindle

• (2) starter rolls of standard thermal paper tape (58mm), Royal Reorder Number (013127)

• (1) memory back-up battery (model CR-2032, 3-Volts) (already installed in the cash register)

• Bar Code Reader

• Serial Cable for PC Connection (9-pin serial connector on one end and RJ14 jack on the opposite end)

• Keys: (2) Cash Drawer Keys (515)

(2) Manager's Program Keys (MA, 33 I)
(2) Operator Register Keys (OP, 33 A)

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THE INITIAL SET-UP AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE THE CASH REGISTER.

VERY IMPORTANT

* * *

* * *

You MUST INITIALIZE the cash register after unpacking it and
plugging it in for the first time, before any programming or
starting to use it. See Steps #6 and 7 below.

INITIAL SET UP

1. Locate on level surface - Before operating the cash register, be sure it is placed on a level surface to permits

smooth operation of the register cash drawer.

2. This cash register operates on any standard three-hole electrical outlet (115-120 volt, 60 hertz). It is

recommended that the cash register be connected to an electrical circuit where no other electrical device or
appliance is connected which may overload the circuit or cause electrical interference with the cash register. It
is best that a single circuit be provided for register operations.

3. Confirm the power switch located on the right hand corner of the cabinet to the “OFF” position.

4. Plug in the cash register. Insert Manager's Program Key (MA, 33 I ) and turn to the "PRG" position.

5. Install paper - Refer to Page 10-11 for paper installation instructions.

6. Initialize the cash register by holding down the clear key and setting the power switch to the “ON” position.

7. Install the battery – Refer to Page 13. If Spanish, French or German is used instead of English, hold down the

numeral 2, 3 or 4 key respectively instead of the clear key.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CASH REGISTER

USING THIS MANUAL

Your cash register manual is organized for easy reference. The front portion contains general information on all
features and functions of the cash register. Instructions for setting the programs are next. Transaction examples
for operating the register are at the back of the manual, along with information on troubleshooting. Use the TABLE
OF CONTENTS to locate a particular section you are interested in.

Throughout this manual references to the Keypad are shown in bold and in parentheses. References to the
Numeric Keypad are preceded by the word "ENTER"; for example: ENTER the number (1). References to the
Operational Keys are preceded by the word "PRESS"; for example: PRESS the [AMOUNT TEND/TOTAL] Key.

HOW TO GET STARTED

Before you begin to program or use your new Royal Cash Register, you should spend some time becoming familiar
with the Control Lock System, Keyboard Functions and the Display. Review setting up and basic maintenance
information. Then proceed by installing the paper roll. Follow the easy Quick Start program. Finish by practicing
the transaction examples provided.

PROGRAMMING THE CASH REGISTER

Simple step-by-step instructions are provided to help you quickly program your register for standard
operations. Please refer to the Quick Start programming on Pages 14 and 15.

OPERATING THE CASH REGISTER

Transaction examples are provided for registering various operations, such as cash, check, or charge sales;
tendering change; multiple item sale; PLU sale; split tendering; voiding; refunding; discounting; coupon
reduction and more. For details see Pages 70-86.

PROBLEMS WITH USAGE OF THE CASH REGISTER

If you are having technical difficulties or if your cash register is malfunctioning, refer to the Troubleshooting
section on Page 99.

BAR CODE SCANNER

A bar code scanner is included with this cash register. The bar code scanner plugs directly into the cash register in
the RJ45 ports on the right side of the cash register. The bar code scanner is “plug-and-play” and neither the bar
code scanner nor the cash register need any additional or special programming.

Important Note: The bar code scanner should always be plugged in and connected or disconnected from the cash
register while the Mode key of the cash register is in the “OFF” position. The cash register should only be turned
“on” and to a specific mode after the bar code scanner or the serial cable to the PC is already connected to the cash
register.

SECURITY SYSTEM and ERROR CONDITIONS

FIVE-WAY SECURITY SYSTEM:

incorporates the following:

· A Control Lock that cannot be activated without the Operator Register Key or Manager's Program Key.

The Register Key accesses the "OFF" mode and "REG" modes only, thus limiting access to other modes
only to individuals who are authorized to use the Manager's Program key.

· A heavy duty locking cash drawer.

· High digit lockout option which prevents excessively high register over rings.

· Availability of 40 clerk numbers to monitor access and sales of individual operators.

· 2-way Password system to prevent unauthorized programming or printing of management reports.

A password can be programmed to limit access to "PRG", "X" and "Z" positions.

· A broad range of management reports to provide detailed data on virtually all cash register operations

performed on the machine; monitors use of the "No Sale" key, number of voids, refunds, etc.

ERROR CONDITIONS

REGISTER TONE - This cash register emits a brief audible tone that sounds to confirm registration each time

a key is pressed. If desired, this tone can be eliminated. See Flag # 69, Page 63.

ENTRY ERROR ALARM - When using the register, all operations must be performed in the proper

sequence. If an error occurs, the register will sound a continuous tone alarm (a "KEY OP ERR" message
appears in the display and the keyboard locks). To clear the error/lock condition, the operator simply presses
the [CLEAR] key and continues to operate in the proper sequence. IMPORTANT - When an operation is
begun but not completed in the "REG" position, turning the control lock to another position will result in an
alarm/error condition. When a transaction is begun in the "REG" position, it must be completed by using of
one of the totalizer keys (i.e., the [AMOUNT TEND/TOTAL] key before changing to another position.

MAXIMUM ENTRY LOCK-OUT - To prevent the operator from entering an erroneously high price into the
register, the register can be programmed to limit the number of digits that can be entered in the transaction.
The register can be programmed to "Lock-Out" after an entry of one (.09) to seven (99,999.99) digits.

CLEAR KEY [CLEAR] - As described above, the Clear [CLEAR] key will erase an alarm condition caused by
an operational error (usually pressing a key which was not proper for that operation). The [CLEAR] key will
not erase a transaction which has been registered by an operating key and printed on the register tape. To
erase entries made in error after pressing the Department key or any other operating key causing the entry to
be printed on the tape, use the Void [VOID] key function to correct the error.

ERROR - A "KEY OP ERR" message is displayed when a numerical entry exceeds the specified number of
digits or a misoperation is done.

HALF SYSTEM CLEAR - If an error tone still persists, perform a Half System Clear. For details on a Half
System Clear see Page 99.

FULL SYSTEM CLEAR - If the operator cannot correct an error lock condition, as a last resort a Full System
Clear should be done. For details on the Full System Clear see Page 99.

Your Royal cash register is protected by an efficient security system that

CONTROL LOCK SYSTEM

THE CONTROL LOCK:

cash register into its several operating modes. These modes are:

Program Mode (PRG): The position is used to set and change your
individualized programming for register operations.

Located at the right of the operating area, the Control Lock is a switch that places the

Locked Mode (OFF): This position is used when the cash register is
not in use. The register is inoperable and the cash drawer stays
closed.

Register Mode (REG): You will perform normal register operations
in the REG position.

Report Mode (X): Permits reading of all transaction totals at any
time without clearing the register (normally known as a "mid-day"
reading). This cash register is capable of producing numerous
management reports.

Reset Mode (Z): Permits reading of all transaction totals and clears
all transaction totals to zero, except the running grand total (normally
known as the "end-of-day" or "daily close-out" reading). This cash
register is capable of producing numerous management reports such
as weekly/monthly readings.

CONTROL KEYS:

Operator's Register Key (OP): Provides movement to the OFF and REG modes only.

Manager's Key (MA): Provides access to all of the operating modes. This system effectively limits access to

the PRG, X, and Z modes to individuals who are authorized to use the Manager's Program key only. (Note: A
Manager Password is available for accessing "PRG", "X" and "Z" positions, for details see Page 22).

Cash Drawer Key (515): Used to lock the cash drawer for additional security.

CASH DRAWER WITH LOCK:

pressing the [#/ST/NS] key, or by the hidden emergency lever underneath the register.
The cash drawer is electronically locked when the Control Lock is in the "Off" position. In addition, the cash drawer

is designed with a security lock and when used with the Cash Drawer key, manually locks the cash drawer and
prevents electronically opening it by the [#/ST/NS] key or by the hidden emergency lever underneath the register.

The Bill Tray and Coin Tray can be removed from the register by lifting up on the open drawer and pulling toward
you.

Two pairs of keys are provided for the Control Lock and the Cash Drawer Lock.

The cash drawer will automatically open after completing a transaction by

(28) Numeric Input Keys (0-9/00/.) are used to input dollar amounts of merchandise sold, to indicate how many

times a particular item repeats, to add and subtract percentages in conjunction with the -% and +% keys, to
input PLU code numbers, to handle figures that require a decimal point and for other numeric value-related
entries. Double Zero (00) allows for quick entry of numbers with two or more zeros. Decimal Point (.) is used
to enter fractional quantity of items being sold. In all modes, the Decimal Point is not to be used when
entering a price.

(29) Department Keys (1-20) are used to specify which department the transaction is for. Each department can

represent a category of merchandise sold and can be programmed as taxable or non-taxable.

Note: The department keys with letters are used in the program mode when programming alpha
descriptions. To program the letters U, V, W, X, Y or Z, PRESS [DEPT] and enter 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6.

LEAVING THE REGISTER PLUGGED IN: Keep the register plugged in and at the "OFF" (Locked)

position when not in use. The keyboard is then inoperable and the cash drawer is electronically
locked, but a minimum amount of power maintains the programs and transaction data totals.

QUICK START

The Quick Start program is designed to help you quickly "get started" with the basics you need to run your cash
register. It covers programming the Decimal Point, Rounding, Date, Time, Tax Rate and Department Status for
taxing or non-taxing. Follow the Quick Start straight through, however, skip any steps which are not required by
your business needs. Once the Quick Start is completed, a Program Confirmation Report can be taken to review
your results. As you go through the Quick Start, if an error tone sounds, PRESS the [CLEAR] key and continue by
repeating the step you are attempting to program.

NOTE: It is not necessary to repeat the entire Quick Start program if you wish to update or change a step

at any time. Therefore, maintain your owner's manual in a safe place for all future programming.

IMPORTANT: Before beginning the Quick Start, read Unpacking Your Cash Register and Set Up (Page 1),

Getting To Know Your Cash Register (Page 2), Control Lock (Page 4), Keyboard Functions (Pages 5-7), Display

BEFORE GOING TO THE REGISTER MODE

Your Royal cash register offers many additional features not covered in the Quick Start programming. Please note
that all programming options are covered in the Advanced Programming section of this manual, even those singled
out for use in the Quick Start. Please review a few of the additional programming options available on this register
described below which you may choose to review or add to your basic Quick Start set up. For quick reference, the
page numbers are noted by each feature presented:

TRAINING MODE (Page 40): Designed to help you get acquainted with the register mode and allows
a place for practicing transaction examples without effecting machine totals. Since the Training Mode
does not record any transactions performed while in the register mode, it is ideal for beginners.

TRANSACTION EXAMPLES (Pages 70-86): Simple transaction examples are provided for use in
the register mode. This section will cover a cash sale, check sale, charge sale, tendering change,
multiple items, PLU sale, split tendering, voiding, as well as other frequently used functions. Be sure to
have the key in the "REG" (register) mode when following the transaction examples. Suggestion:

Practice the transaction examples after activating the Training Mode described above.
CLERK NUMBERS AND NAMES (Page 20-21): Clerk numbers can be used to monitor sales of 40

individual employees with clerk names.
MANAGER PASSWORDS (Page 22): A password can be assigned for the "PRG", "X" and "Z"

modes.
FLAG OPTIONS (Pages 59-65): A total of 90 system programming options are offered on this cash

register. They are preset by the factory to accommodate many of the most commonly used
selections. These options can be changed to meet your individual needs.

18

ADVANCED PROGRAMMING

The options covered in the Advanced Programming section are designed to let you customize your cash register
operations, sales entry printouts, and management reports to meet your individual business requirements. The
Advanced Programming can be used to further add options not covered by the Quick Start Program. Skip any or all
sections which are not required in setting up your cash register. Note: During programming, if an error tone
sounds, PRESS the [CLEAR] key, then continue by repeating the step you are attempting to program.

Note: It is not necessary to reprogram all options when you wish to update or change a step at any time.

Therefore, maintain your owner's manual in a safe place for all future programming.

The programming of the cash register consists of the following features:
Clerks Numbers and Names Grand Total Preset

Manager Passwords (PRG and X/Z) Transaction Number Preset
Date X1 and X2 Counter Preset
Time Clock Z1 and Z2 Counter Preset
Machine Number Void and Return Functions
4 Tax Rates Flag Options
Department Rounding
Coupon Discount (-/CPN) Programming Confirmation Reports
Minus Percentage Discount (-%) PLU Confirmation Report
Plus Percentage (+%) Management Reports (X/Z)
Price Look-Up (PLU)

Once programming is completed, there are several Confirmation Reports available to check your results:

· Basic Pre-set Report lists all flag options, shows date, time, machine number, passwords, store logo and
commercial messages programmed.

· Tax rate and tax table codes.

· Department Confirmation Report: lists Department Settings programmed.

· PLU Program Confirmation Report: lists all PLUs that are programmed.

· Clerk Confirmation Report listing Clerk ID Numbers and Names, Manager Password Numbers and X/Z

Counter Beginning Numbers.

CLERK NUMBERS

A total of 40 Clerk Numbers are available for monitoring sales of individual employees. Each Clerk Number can be
programmed with a 24 character name (this procedure is covered in the section Programming Alphanumeric
Descriptions on Page 46-51). The Clerk Numbers are designed to be used in the REGISTER modes only. To
obtain sales totals of each clerk, a Clerk Report is available in both the "X" and "Z" modes. Extra Security Option: If
desired, a procedure is offered to require entry of a Clerk Number before every transaction, for details see Flag 18,
Page 60.

TAX RATE

Four different tax rates can be programmed on your cash register. Each tax rate can be linked directly to a
Department key or by pressing the [TAX 1] or [TAX 2] keys before ringing up an entry. Extra Option: If desired, a
procedure is offered to eliminate the tax rate from printing on transaction receipts, for details see Flag 36, on Page

61.
Each Tax Rate can be programmed as follows:
a. As an ADD-ON RATE (used in the USA) - which means the tax amount prints separately on the receipt.

Add-on Tax is most common in the United States. Add-on Tax can be programmed as either a fixed-rate
which charges tax based on a percentage, or using the tax table codes, which is a calculation based on an

approved tax chart issued by your local or state government.
b. VAT (Value Added Tax) - which means that the tax amount is included in the price of the item.
c. CANADIAN TAX SYSTEM - allows the programming of GST/PST tax system required in Canada.

For Canadian tax programming, see Appendix 3.

NOTE: Tax 1 through Tax 3 can be set as either an add-on fixed tax rate, a VAT tax or tax table rate. Tax 4

can be set as a fixed add-on rate or a VAT tax only.
