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 comp-onents 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.

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.

Initial Clear
CAUTION: Do not share this information with unauthorized users. Distribute the P Mode key
only to those you may want to perform this function.
The initial clear function allows you to exit any register activity and return to a beginning or cleared
state. Any transaction that is in progress will be exited and totals for that transaction will not be
updated.
Here are some reasons you may want to perform an initial clear:
The register is in an unknown state, and you wish to exit the current program or
transaction without following normal procedures.
You have performed a function that includes a compulsory activity and you wish to
bypass the compulsion.
An initial clear may be necessary as part of servicing, or troubleshooting.
Perform this procedure only as necessary. Contact your SAMSUNG dealer first if you have questions
about operating or programming your Samsung ER-5200/5240.
To Perform an Initial Clear:
1. Turn the power switch located on the right side of the register to the OFF position.
2. Turn the control lock to the P position.
3. Press and hold the key position where the SBTL key is located on the default keyboard
layout.
4. While continuing to hold the SBTL key, turn the power switch to the ON position.
5. The message "INITIAL CLEAR OK!” prints when the initial clear is complete.

Clerk Sign-On/Sign-Off
See "System Option Programming”, to review your clerk options: (System option #2 allows you to
select direct or code entry sign on, option #3 allows you to select stay-down or pop-up operation, and
option #26 allows you select clerk interrupt operations.)
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). Normally, 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. If you have selected the clerk interrupt option, a new clerk can
be signed on in the middle of a transaction. In this circumstance, the initial transaction is suspended.
When the interrupt transaction is completed, the suspended transaction can be continued.
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
If the direct sign-on method is selected, enter the
clerk number and press the clerk key.

PLU Registrations
All registrations on ER-5200/5240 are made into open or preset PLUs.
In place of traditional department keys, NLU (number look up) keys are located directly
on the keyboard. NLU keys are programmed to access a specific PLU. In the default
configuration NLU key #1 will access PLU #1. See “Program 1000 - NLU Code Number
Programming” on page 158 if you wish to change the PLU assigned to a NLU key.
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.
NLU (Keyboard PLU) Entries
As you make PLU registrations, you can fo llow your entries by viewing the display. The digit marked
RPT counts items as they are repeated or multiplied.
In the following examples:
PLU1 is programmed for open entries, and is taxable by Tax 1.
PLU2 is programmed for open entries, and is taxable by Tax 2.
PLU3 is programmed with a preset price of $3.00, and is taxable by Tax 1 and Tax 2.
Tax 1 is programmed at 5%; Tax 2 is programmed at 10%.
