ATTENTION
The product that you have purchased may contain a battery that may be recyclable. At the end of its useful life, under various state
and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of the battery into the municipal waste system.
Check with your local solid waste officials for details concerning recycling options or proper disposal
.
Precaution Statements
Follow these safety, servicing and ESD precautions to prevent damage and to protect against potential hazards such as
electrical shock.
1-1 Safety Precautions
1. Be sure that all built-in protective devices are
replaced. Restore any missing protective shields.
2. When reinstalling the chassis and its assemblies, be
sure to restore all protective devices, including
nonmetallic control knobs and compartment covers.
3. Make sure there are no cabinet openings through
which people - particularly children - might insert
fingers and contact dangerous voltages.
Such openings include excessively wide cabinet
ventilation slots and improperly fitted covers and
drawers.
4. Design Alteration Warning:
Never alter or add to the mechanical or electrical
design of the SECR. Unauthorized alterations might
create a safety hazard. Also, any design changes or
additions will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
5. Components, parts and wiring that appear to have
overheated or that are otherwise damaged should be
replaced with parts that meet the original
specifications. Always determine the cause of
damage or over- heating, and correct any potential
hazards.
CAUTION
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type recomm-
ended by the manufacturer.
Dispose used batteries according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
6. Observe the original lead dress, especially near the
following areas: sharp edges, and especially the AC
and high voltage supplies. Always inspect for
pinched, out-of-place, or frayed wiring. Do not
change the spacing between components and the
printed circuit board. Check the AC power cord for
damage. Make sure that leads and components do
not touch thermally hot parts.
7. Product Safety Notice:
Some electrical and mechanical parts have special
safety-related characteristics that might not be
obvious from visual inspection. These safety
features and the protection they give might be lost if
the replacement component differs from the
original - even if the replacement is rated for higher
voltage, wattage, etc.
Components that are critical for safety are indicated
in the circuit diagram by shading, (
Use replacement components that have the same
ratings, especially for flame resistance and
dielectric strength specifications. A replacement
part that does not have the same safety
characteristics as the original might create shock,
fire or other hazards.
ATTENTION
ll y a danger d’explosion s’il y a remplacement
incorrect de la batterie.
Remplacer uniquement avec une batterie du même type
ou d’un type équivalent recommandé par le constructeur.
Mettre au rebut les batteries usagées conformément aux
instructions du fabricant.
) or ().
1-2 Servicing Precautions
WARNING: First read the-Safety Precautions-section of this manual. If some unforeseen circumstance creates a conflict
between the servicing and safety precautions, always follow the safety precautions.
WARNING: An electrolytic capacitor installed with the wrong polarity might explode
.
1. Servicing precautions are printed on the cabinet.
Follow them.
2. Always unplug the units AC power cord from the
AC power source before attempting to:
(a) Remove or reinstall any component or assembly
(b) Disconnect an electrical plug or connector
(c) Connect a test component in parallel with an
electrolytic capacitor
3. Some components are raised above the printed
circuit board for safety. An insulation tube or tape
is sometimes used. The internal wiring is sometimes
clamped to prevent contact with thermally hot
components. Reinstall all such elements to their
original position.
4. After servicing, always check that the screws,
components and wiring have been correctly
reinstalled. Make sure that the portion around the
serviced part has not been damaged.
5. Check the insulation between the blades of the AC
plug and accessible conductive parts (examples :
metal panels and input terminals).
6. Insulation Checking Procedure:
Disconnect the power cord from the AC source and
turn the power switch ON. Connect an insulation
resistance meter (500V) to the blades of AC plug.
The insulation resistance between each blade of the
AC plug and accessible conductive parts (see
above) should be greater than 1 megohm.
7. Never defeat any of the B+ voltage interlocks.
Do not apply AC power to the unit (or any of its
assemblies) unless all solid-state heat sinks are
correctly installed.
8. Always connect an instrument’s ground lead to the
instrument chassis ground before connecting the
positive lead ; always remove the instrument’s
ground lead last.
1-3 Precautions for Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESDs)
1. Some semiconductor (solid state) devices are easily
damaged by static electricity. Such components are
called Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESDs);
examples include: integrated circuits and some fieldeffect transistors. The following techniques will
reduce the occurrence of component damage caused
by static electricity.
2. Immediately before handling any semiconductor
components or assemblies, drain the electrostatic
charge from your body by touching a known earth
ground. Alternatively, wear a discharging wriststrap device. (Be sure to remove it prior to applying
power - this is an electric shock precaution.)
3. After removing an ESD-equipped assembly, place it
on a conductive surface such as aluminum foil to
prevent accumulation of electrostatic charge.
4. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can
generate electrical charges that damage ESDs.
5. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron when
soldering or unsoldering ESDs.
6. Use only an anti-static solder removal device. Many
solder removal devices are not rated as anti-static;
these can accumulate sufficient electrical charge to
damage ESDs.
7. Do not remove a replacement ESD from its
protective package until you are ready to install it.
Most replacement ESDs are packaged with leads
that are electrically shorted together by conductive
foam, aluminum foil or other conductive materials.
8. Immediately before removing the protective
material from the leads of a replacement ESD,
touch the protective material to the chassis or
circuit assembly into which the device will be
installed.
9. Minimize body motions when handling unpackaged
replacement ESDs. Motions such as brushing
clothes together, or lifting a foot from a carpeted
floor can generate enough static electricity to
damage an ESD.

Introduction
About the
Congratulations! You have selected a very flexible electronic cash register designed for years of
reliable service. SAM4s ER-5115s ECR will fit many retail stores, shops and restaurants, providing
fast transaction processing, security, and detailed sales information.
The SAM4sER- features a 55-position keyboard with traditional raised keys, 5 (expandable to 15)
keyboard PLU locations that will accommodate open or preset keys, and 24 programmable function
key locations. The default keyboard configuration is pre-programmed with the most commonly used
functions. Your SAM4s dealer can customize the ER-5115 for your special requirements.
With this manual we hope to provide you with a means to use your SAM4s cash register to its fullest
potential.
This manual is divided into four sections:
"Introductio n" on page 7, which expla i ns basic features and functions.
"Operations" on page 21, which guides the user through the basic operation sequence s .
"Management Functions" on page 60, which shows manager contro lled functions, along
with reports and balancing information.
"Programming" on page 89, which provides complete programming instructions,
including PLU, function key programs, and system options. This sec tion is
recommended for use by storeowners and managers, since programming can be
somewhat complicated. Call your SAM4s dealer if you find you need programming
assistance.
The SAM4s ER-5115 allows many different configurations. This manual was written with this in
mind. Although we have tried to touch on all available options, your machine may differ.
If you have questions concerning the configuration of your ER-5115, contact your authorized SAM4s
dealer.

A majority of printer failures are due to paper jams, which can easily be remedied by removing
both the receipt and journal tapes and clearing obstruction from the print head. Worn out and
frayed printer ribbons may also jam printers. It is suggested that printer ribbons be changed
as soon as print becomes faint in order to prevent frayed ribbons from causing printer failures.
The ERP-400 printer allows single line numeric fields of up to nine digits, along with programmable
PLU descriptors of up to twelve characters. For this reason, provisions have been made for printing
sales where the combination of descriptor and amount is greater than 21 characters.
PLU descriptors are separated from amounts by at least one blank space. If the descriptor used is a
full twelve characters, and more than one tax rate is applied, all PLU entries may require two lines,
with the amount on the second line.
For example:
DATE 08/15/2003 SUN
HAMBURGER T1 $1.29
FOOD SPECIAL T1
$129.95
FOOD SPECIAL T1 $9.29
TAX1 AMT $8.47
The ER-5115 receipt/journal printer uses a replaceable ink ribbon cartridge. Once print becomes
faint, a new ink ribbon must be installed. To replace the ink ribbon, follow these steps:
1. Remove the printer cover and locate the ink ribbon cartridge as shown in the
illustration.
2. Apply downward pressure to the cartridge while pulling it towards you using the
serrated area on the left edge and the raised tab near the knob on the right. Lift to
remove.
3. Insert the new ink ribbon cartridge and press firmly into place. Remove any slack in the
ribbon by rotating he cartridge knob counter-clockwise.
Note: Ribbon must be in place when changing paper.
1. Place the other roll of paper into the small tray on the left.
2. Make sure the paper unrolls from the bottom of the roll.
3. Fold back approximately 6" of paper and insert the folded end of the tape into the feed
slot just in front of the paper tray at the rear of the printer.*
4. Press the RCPT FEED key until the paper comes through the printer. Continue to
press the key until 3 - 4 inches of p aper are through the printer.
5. Replace the printer cover, making sure the receipt pa per comes out through the opening
in the printer cover.
* Ribbon must be in place when changing paper.
Follow the same steps anytime you need to replace receipt or detail paper. All steps are the same.
However, when replacing detail paper, cut the old detail paper at the spot where the printing stops.
Then use the DETL FEED key to free the old paper from the printer. Remove the old detail paper
from the rewind spindle.
1. Place the key marked REG into the control lock and turn to the REG control lock
position.
2. Locate the rewind spindle.
3. Locate the printer cover key. The printer cover key is the smallest key on the key ring.
Insert this key into the printer cover lock. Turn the key, and remove the printer cover.
4. Locate and install the printer ribbon cartridge (see "Changing the Printer Ribbon
Cartridge" on page 16).
5. As you face the keyboard, notice two plastic trays behind the printer mechanism. Place
one of the rolls of printer paper into the tray on the right. Make sure the paper will unwind from the bottom of the roll.
6. Fold back approximately 6" of paper and insert the folded end of the tape into the feed
slot just in front of the paper tray at the rear of the printer.*
7. Press the
DETL FEED key on the cash register keyboard until the edge of the paper
feeds through the printer. Run 6 - 8 inches of pa per through the printer.
8. Insert the end of the paper into the slot on the shaft of the rewind spindle, holding the
spindle with the gear to the right and the shaft to the left. Wind the spindle several turns
to be sure the paper will stay on the spindle. Press the end piece of the rewind spindle
back onto the left end of the shaft.
9. Slide the axle of the rewind spindle (between the gear and the shaft) into the notch of
the printer housing. Make sure the gear on the rewind spindle meshes with the gear on the printer.
10. Press the
DETL FEED key several more times to make sure the paper moves properly

Clerk Sign-On/Sign-Off
See "System Option Programming" on page 108, to review your clerk options:
The ER-5115 can be set to function with a cashier or clerk reporting system. System
option #7 allows you to select media reporting, thus allowing cashier accountability.
System option #15 allows you to select direct or code entry sign on and/or stay-down or
pop-up operation.
Depending on how your machine has been programmed, sign-on will take place only at the beginning
of a shift (stay-down), or may have to be repeated for each transaction (pop-up). If your machine has
been programmed for stay-down clerks, the clerk currently signed on must be signed off before
another clerk may be signed on.
Check with your store manager to see which optio ns have been selected for your register.
Before any transaction may take place, a clerk must be signed on. Clerk sign-on is accomplished in
one of two ways:
Direct Sign-On
To sign on a clerk, enter the clerk number and press the clerk key.

PLU Registrations
All registrations on the SAM4s ER-5115 are made into open or preset PLUs.
In place of traditional department keys, some PLUs are located directly on the
keyboard.
When more items or categories are needed than the number of PLUs available on the
keyboard, registrations can be into PLUs by entering the PLU code number and
pressing the PLU key on the keyboard.
This system simplifies reporting by listing all items (regardless of how they are entered) on the PLU
report, while reporting for groups of items or categories is available from the Group report.
Keyboard PLU Entries
As you make PLU registrations, you can fo llow your entries by viewing the display. The digits
marked PLU indicate the PLU number being used. The digit marked RPT counts items as they are
repeated or multiplied.
In the following examples:
PLU 1 is programmed for open entries, and is taxable by Tax 1.
PLU 2 is programmed for open entries, and is taxable by Tax 2.
PLU 3 is programmed with a preset price of $3.00, and is taxable by Tax 1 and Tax 2.
PLU 4 is programmed with a preset price of $4.00, and is non-taxable.
PLU 1 level 2 (PLU 118) is programmed with a preset price of $1.25, and is taxable by
Tax 1.
Tax 1 is programmed at 5%; Tax 2 is programmed at 10%.

Keyboard PLU Level Entries
Three keyboard levels are provided on the SAM4s ER-5115 Depending upon how your cas h register
is set up, (see "System Option Programming" on page 108) levels can be operated as stay-down, popup, or ticket pop-up.
Stay-down levels allow you to shift the level of the entire keyboard simultaneously. For
example, a restaur ant may have breakfast, lunch and dinner menus. You can shift
menus by shifting the level of the keyboard and changing the key legend sheet over the
keyboard.
Pop-up levels allow you to momentarily shift the level of the keyboard for the next item.
For example, soft drinks may be sold in three sizes. With the level keys labeled as
sizes, you can register soft drinks by pressing LEVEL 1 for small, LEVEL 2 for
medium or LEVEL 3 for large, then pressing the PLU representing the appropriate type
of soft drink.
Ticket pop-up levels allow you to shift the level of the keyboard for the next
registration. For example, pizzas may be sold with multiple toppings, with the price of
additional toppings depending on the size of the pizza. By first selecting a level
representing the size of the pizza, the operator can then press any number of PLU keys
representing toppings, with the appropriate topping price category locked in.

Percentage Key (%) Registrations
There are two percentage keys, %1 and %2, on the default keyboar d. Through "Function Key
Assignment Programming" (see page 91) up to five percentage keys may be placed on the keyboard.
Each key is individually programmable to add or subtract, from an individual item or from a sale
total, amounts (coupons) or percentages. You can also program the percentage key taxable or nontaxable, so that sales taxes are calculated on the net, or gross amount of the item or sale.
The operation examples in this section show the percentage key in a variety of configurations. See
"Function Key Programming" on page 109 to assign a specific function to each percentage key.

In a restaurant, EAT-IN, TAKE-OUT and DRIVE THRU keys can be set up to provide totals for
each type of sale. The EAT-IN, TAKE-OUT and DRIVE THRU keys may also be set up to
remove taxes. For example, if your state charges sales tax for food consumed on the premises, while
not charging sales tax for food taken home, sales tax can be exempted with the TAKE-OUT key.
See "Eat-In - Function Key Programs" on page 127, "Take Out - Function Key Programs" on page
138, or "Drive Thru - Function Key Programs" on page 126 to set up tax status for these keys.
After registering all items, press EAT-IN, TAKE-OUT or DRIVE THRU (as you would use the

If more than 200 entries are made in the sale, the register will issue a stub receipt only, showing the
total net sale, correct tax totals and payment tendered.
Validation
Validations can be performed after PLU entries, received on account and paid out operations, % key
entries, merchandise returns, voids, and tendering operations by pressing the VALID key.
If an operation is programmed with validation compulsory, the cash drawer will not open until the
compulsion is satisfied. The SP message will appear on the display, and the indicator light behind
VALID will come on once the form is properly inserted in the receipt/journal printer. The error tone
will sound if any other operations are attempted before validation is completed.

Currency Conversion
If you normally accept currency from a neighboring nation, you can program the SAM4s ER-5115 to
convert the subtotal of a sale to the equivalent cost in the foreign currency. Two foreign currency
conversion keys are available. See "Function Key Assignment Programming" on page 91 to place
currency conversion keys on the keyboard. You also need to progr am the conversion factor. For
example, if the US dollar (home currency) is worth 1.3720 Canadian dollars (foreign currency), the
conversion factor is 1.3720. See "Currency Conversion - Function Key Programs" on page 125 to set
a conversion rate .

Food Stamp Operations
The SAM4s ER-5115 can be set up to sort food stamp eligible merchandise and accept food stamp
payments. See "Function Key Assignment Programming" on page 91 to place the necessary function
keys (F/S SHIFT, F/S SUB, F/S TEND) on the keyboard. You will also need to set food stamp
eligibility status for each open or preset PLU (see "Program 100 - PLU Status Programming" on page
99.)
If necessary, you can use the F/S SHIFT key to shift the pre-programmed eligibility
status for any item as it is entered. For example, while produce is normally food stamp
eligible, certain produce department items, such as birdseed, cannot be paid for with
food stamps. In this case, program the produce PLU as food stamp eligible, then press
F/S SHIFT before registering a non-eligible produce item.
If a customer chooses to pay with food stamps, press the F/S SUB key to display a total
of food stamp eligible merchandise.
Tender food stamp payments into the F/S TEND key. Change less than $1 is given in
cash, or applied to non-food stamp eligible items. After finalization, food stamp change
in whole dollars is displayed on the left portion of the display, while cash change is
displayed on the right portion of the display.

Management Functions
Introduction
All Management Functions take place with the control lock in the X position. In this way only those
with the correct key will have access to these functions. Some register operations may be
programmed to require the control lock in the X position in order to operate. All reports require a
key that will access the X or Z position.
In this chapter you will find:
"Manager Authorization Of Restricted Operations" on page 63
"Changing the Default P LU Level" on page 64
"Cash Declaration" on page 64
"System Reports" on page 66
Manager Authorization Of Restricted Operations
If pressing a function key causes an error condition when used properly, the function may require the
control lock in the X (or Management) position. See "Function Key Programming" on page 109 for
setting these conditions.
Function keys, which may be programmed to require the control lock in the X position, are:
The default level is the top, or surface level returned to after each PLU entry when options are set for
pop-up levels. For example, if levels are set to pop-up and default level is set to 2, after registering
an item in level 1 or level 3, subsequent registrations will automatically return to level 2.
To set default PLU level:
1. Turn the control lock to the X, or P key position
2. Press the desired level key twice to set that level as default.
Cash Declaration
If compulsory cash declaration is required, (see option #1, "System Option Programming" on page
108) you must declare the count of the cash drawer prior to taking X or Z financial and clerk reports.
You can enter the cash drawer total in one step, or to facilitate the counting of the cash drawer, you
can enter each type of bill/coin and checks separately and let the register act as an adding machine.
You can also use the X/TIME key to multiply the denomination of currency times your count.
Either way you choose to enter cash, the register will compare your declaration with the expected
cash and check in drawer totals and print the over or short amounts on the report.
LEVELLEVEL
For example:
1. Turn the control lock to the X or Z position
(depending upon the type of report you are taking.)
System reports are divided into two basic categories:
X reports, which read totals without resetting
Z reports, which read totals and reset them to zero
Most reports are available in both categories. Some reports, such as the Cash-in-Drawer report and
the From-To PLU report are available only as X reports.
Some reports also provide identical but separate period to date reports. These reports maintain a
separate set of totals which may be allowed to accumulate over a period of days, weeks, months, or
even years. X2 reports read period to date totals without resetting, and Z2 reports read period to date
totals and reset them to zero. Period to date totals are updated each time a Z1 report is completed.
A complete list of available reports is presented in a chart on the following page.
An example is given for each of these reports in the pages that follow. Those reports, which may be
optionally abbreviated through register progra mming, are represented twice. They are first shown
with the option off, giving all totals, and again with the option turned on, showing the abbreviated
version of the same report.
Registers programmed with pop-up clerks must be signed on in the REG control lock position prior
to taking reports.
Running a Report - General Instructions
1. Refer to the "Report Table" on page 67.
2. Select a report type and the report mode.
3. Turn the control lock to the position indicated.

The clerk report may be generated for all clerks or for individual clerks. The clerk report can include
media information for cashier accountability (see example on next page). By default, the clerk report
includes the basic sales information in the example below. The clerk report can also be programmed
to include totals with zero balance. See option #7 "System Option Programming" on page 108 to
change clerk reporting options.

This report reads the sales count for all PLUs where the sales counter is set to decrement (count
down) for inventory level tracking. (To select this option, see "Program 100 - PLU Status
Programming" on page 99 and set address N7). Remember, you can also read the sales counter on
the other PLU reports, i.e. the All PLU report, the Item by Group report, and the From/To PLU
report.
Because each PLU can be reported to one or two groups, the total at the end of this report does not
necessarily reflect the total of item sales. You can also program individual groups not to add to the
total at the end of this report. See "Programming Group Status - Program 900" on page 152. Also
note that you can choose to include groups with zero totals on this report (see option #3, "System
Option Programming" on page 108.)

S-mode, or service mode programming information is provided separately. S-mode programs allow
you to change the keyboard PLU assignment or set keyboard PLU configurations for the ER-5115.
The SAM4s ER-5115 arrives with a default or generic program already installed. Program options
are set to 0 (Zero), unless otherwise noted, which means the machine can be operated immediately
after a RAM clear procedure is performed.
For example:
All keyboard PLUs are nontaxable and open, without entry limits by default status
programming of "00000000".
All system options are set to 0 in default programming, unless otherwise noted. Cha nge
only the options that will deviate from default programming. There is no need to reenter an option status of 0, since 0 is its original setting.
All programming (unless otherwise noted) is done with the control lock in the P
position. Each section details a specific area of register programming.
Function keys may be relocated, inactivated or changed with this program. For example, you may
wish to place functions, such as PREVIOUS BALANCE and SERVICE, which are not placed on
the default keyboard. Or perhaps, you may wish to remove a function, such as CANCEL, for
security reasons.
Please note the following limitations:
If you assign a duplicate of a function code, the duplicate will function exactly as the
original - you will not get separate totals and counters on reports for the duplicated key.
You can reassign keys only in locations that are programmable. See "Keyboard" on
page 20, where the key locations that may be programmed are identified.
To Assign a Function Key to a Location:
1. Turn the control lock to the S position.
2. Enter 20, press the SBTL key.

3. Refer to "Function Key Codes" on page 92 to find the code for the key you wish to
assign. Enter the code, press the location you wish to program, or press CASH to
cancel function key assignment progra mming.

The SAM4s ER-5115 has the capability to support four separate taxes.
Taxes can be calculated as either a straight percentage rate of between .001% and 99.999%, or a 60
break point tax table. Each tax may be either an add-on tax (added to the cost of a taxable item), or a
value added tax (VAT) that is included in the price of the item.
Tax rate 4 may be set to function as the Canadian Goods & Services Tax (GST). If Tax 4 is designated as GST, table programming for the rate is not allowed.
Definitions for tax rates 1, 2, 3 & 4 are made as part of tax programming.
If you are entering a tax rate (add-on or VAT), see "Straight Percentage Tax Rate
Programming" on page 94 to enter the percentage rate.
If you are entering a tax table, see “Tax Table Programming” on page 95 to enter the tax
break points.
If you are entering a Canadian Goods and Services Tax (GST), use tax rate 4 for the
GST tax, and use tax rates 1, 2 and/or 3 for any other provincial tax or taxes. See
"Straight Percentage Tax Rate P rogramming" on page 94 to enter the GST status a nd
percentage rate.
Important Note: After you have entered your tax program(s), test for accuracy by entering
several transactions of different dollar amounts. Carefully check to make sure the tax charged
by the cash register matches the tax on the printed tax chart for your area. As a merchant, you
are responsible for accurate tax collection. If the cash register is not calculating tax accurately,
contact your
When tax requirements may be met using a straight percentage rate, use the following method to
program a tax as a straight percentage.
Programming Straight Percentage Tax Rates and Status
1. Turn the control lock to the P position.
2. If the tax is a percentage rate, with a decimal. (0.000-99.999). It is not necessary to
enter preceding zeros. For example, for 6%, enter 06.000 or 6.000.
3. For the type of tax:
If the tax is a percentage added to the sale (normal add on tax), enter:
If the tax is a percentage value added tax (VAT; calculated as part of the
sale), enter:
4. Enter 0 here for all taxes, unless if you are programming tax 4 as a Canadian GST . If
tax 4 is a Canadian GST, enter the sum of the options below:
OPTION VALUE = SUM
GST (tax 4) is taxable by rate 1? Yes = 1
No = 0
GST (tax 4) is taxable by rate 2? Yes = 2
No = 0
GST (tax 4) is taxable by rate 3? Yes = 4
No = 0
0
2
6. Press the Ta x Shift key for the tax you are programming.
In some cases, a tax that is entered as a percentage does not follow exactly the tax charts that apply in
your area (even if the tax chart is based on a percentage). In these cases, we recommend that you
enter your tax using tax table programming. This method will match tax collection exactly to the
break points of your tax table.
Before programming, obtain a copy of the tax table you wish to program. You will need the printed
tax table if you wish to determine the break point entries yourself.
Note: You can enter up to 60 break points.
Determining Break Point Entries
1. Examine the printed tax table for the tax you are programming.
2. Refer to the “Tax Table Programming Example - Illinois 6% Tax Table” on page 96 to
help with this exercise.
3. Calculate the break point differences by subtracting the high side of the previous range
from the high side of the dollar range.
4. Examine the pattern of break point differences to determine when the break points begin
to repeat. Mark the beginning break points that do not fit a pattern as “non-repeat
breaks.” Mark the break points that are repeating in a pattern as “repeat breaks.”
Programming a Tax Table
1. Turn the control lock to the P position.
2. Enter 10, press the TAX SHIFT key for the ta x you are programming, i.e. TAX SHIFT
1, TAX SHIFT 2, TAX SHIFT 3 or TAX SHIFT 4.
3. Enter the maximum amount that is not taxed, press the appropriate TAX SHIFT key.
4. Enter the first tax amount charged, press the appropriate TAX SHIFT key.
5. For each non-repeat break point, up to the last non-repeat break point, enter the high
side from the sale dollar range and press the appropriate TAX SHIFT key.
6. For the last non-repeat break point, enter the high side from the sale dollar range and
press the X/TIME key.
7. For each repeat break point, enter the high side from the sale dollar range and press the
appropriate TAX SHIFT key.
8. Press the CASH key to end the tax table program.
All PLUs, whether they are registered by pressing a PLU key on the keyboard, or by entering the
PLU number and pressing the PLU key, have the same programming options. These options are set
through separate programs:
Program 100 - PLU Status Programming determines whether the PLU is open, preset or
inactive. Also selected here are tax, food stamp, scale, negative, single item, hash,
gallonage, compulsory number entry, compulsory validation, compulsory condiment
and print options.
Program 150 - PLU Group Assignment allows you to select up to two groups where
each PLUs sales will accumulate.
Program 200 - PLU Price/HALO Programming determines the PLU price if the PLU is
preset, or the high amount lock out (HALO) if the PLU is open.
Program 250 - PLU Stock Amount Programming allows you to add stock to the PLU
sales counters for PLUs you have designated as sto ck keeping PLUs.
Program 300 - PLU Descriptor Programming allows you to set a unique, up to 12character, descriptor for each PLU.
Program 400 - PLU Link Programming allows you to link a PLU to another PLU, so
that registration of the first PLU will automatically trigger registration of the linked
PLU.
PLU Number Assignment for Keyboard PLUs and PLU Levels
PLUs have fixed numbers from 1 to 1000. In the standard configuration, keyboard PLUs access the
following PLU numbers 1-15.
If level keys are used:
Level 1 accesses PLUs 1-15
Level 2 accesses PLUs 16-30
Level 3 accesses PLUs 31-45
An optional numbering method is available for PLUs and Levels. (See your SAM4s dealer or the
SAM4s ER-5115 S-Mode Programming instructions for set-up details.) You may wish to consider
this option when you are using pop-up levels for sizes and you want different sizes of the same item
to be listed together on the PLU report. With this optio n selected:
PLU #1 accesses PLU 1 on level 1, PLU 2 on level 2, and PLU 3 on level 3
PLU #2 accesses PLU 4 on level 1, PLU 5 on level 2, and PLU 6 on level 3
PLU #3 accesses PLU 7 on level 1, PLU 8 on level 2, and PLU 9 on level 3,
and so on until:
PLU #15 accesses PLU 43 on level 1, PLU 44 on level 2 and PLU 45 on level 3
