Programming Tax

Most sales taxes can be programmed by entering an add-on tax rate percentage. You will find instructions for programming an add-on tax rate percentage here. In some cases you can find that tax that is entered as a percentage does not follow exactly the tax chart that applies in your area. If this is the case, you must enter your tax using tax table programming. This method will match tax collection exactly to the break points of your tax table. See "Programming a Tax Table" on page 95.

Important Note: After you have entered your tax program, 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 amounts 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, or if you cannot program your tax properly from the information in this manual, contact your Samsung Dealer for assistance.

Programming an Add-On Tax Rate Percentage

1. Turn the control lock to the PROGRAM position.

2. From the PROGRAM MODE menu, press 2 to view the TAX PROG. screen.

TAX PROG. TAX NUMBER (1-4) 1 TAX TYPE (0-2) 0 0 : ADD-ON 1 : TAX TABLE 2 : VAT

3. When the arrow is pointed at the TAX NUMBER field, enter the number of the tax you wish to

Operating Instructions

Operator Display Screen

The Samsung ER-550 Electronic Cash Register has a liquid crystal display screen, providing up to 8 lines of information with up to 20 characters per line. The display is backlit to provide excellent visibility, regardless of lighting conditions.

The multiple line screen lets you keep track of each item, as it is registered. For example:  When you are operating the register (in the REGISTER or VOID control lock positions), you can

view a list of items that have been registered, as well continuous tax and sale subtotals.

 If an item is multiplied, or repeated, the display lists the quantity of the item sold. (Note: Only

single numbers up to 9 are displayed in the quantity field.)

 Up to five items can be displayed simultaneously. When the more than five items are registered,

the display lists the last five items sold.

 You can scroll through long transactions with the PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN keys. When

more than five items have been registered, you can press the PAGE UP key to view items registered earlier in the sale. Press the PAGE DOWN key to return to a view of the items registered later in the transaction.

Clerk Operations

The ER-550 can track sales for up to 20 clerks. You can choose a push button or code entry clerk system:  The simplest clerk system is the push button system. This is also the default system; the register

will operate this way unless it is programmed otherwise. You simply press the CLERK # key to sign on or sign off the clerk. You can operate only one clerk when you choose this method.

 You can provide maximum security in a multiple clerk system with the code entry system. Press

the CLERK # key, enter the clerk secret code, then press the CLERK # key, or enter the clerk secret code, then press the CLERK # key to sign on the register.

You can also select stay down or pop-up mode for clerk operation:  Stay down means that once a clerk is signed on, the same clerk will remain signed on until a

different clerk signs on or the original clerk signs off. A stay down clerk system might be used when only one operator uses the register at a time, and a different operator begins when a work shift is changed.

 Pop-up means that the clerk is automatically signed off an the end of each transaction. Therefore,

to begin a transaction, you must first sign a clerk on. A pop-up clerk system might be used in a department store, where several clerks might use the register during the same shift and clerk sales information is required.

See "Clerk Programming" on page 118 to set clerk options.

Clerk Time Keeping

Clerk time keeping is a standard feature of the ER-550. Clerks can clock in and clock out at any time, regardless of whether they are signed on to operate the register. (Clocking in and clocking out are separate functions from signing on or signing off to operate the register.) You must assign secret clerk codes to clock in or clock out. See "System Option Programming" on page 101 to set up your clerk system and see "Clerk Programming" on page 118 to assign a secret clerk code.

In addition:

 If a clerk forgets to sign in or sign out, or if sign in or out records need to be modified, these

corrections can be made by the appropriate authority in the program mode.

 Clerk times can be read in the MANAGER control lock position or reset in the CLEAR

TOTALS control lock position.

To Clock In/Out:

1. Turn the control lock to the REGISTER position.

2. Any current transaction must be finalized before clocking in or out.

3. Press the MORE KEYS menu key.

Scale Operations

The Samsung ER-550 can be interfaced to an optional load-cell scale. The scale interface allows direct entry of an item's weight using the SCALE function. You can also choose "manual entry" scale operation if you are working with a standalone scale that is not interfaced the scale to the cash register. See "Function Key Programming" on page112.

Departments and PLUs must be set to "scaleable" status to allow scale multiplication. In most cases, if you attempt an entry into a Department or PLU that has been programmed "scaleable", an error tone will sound and the operator will be prompted to make a scale entry. See "Department Programming" on page 85 or "PLU Programming" on page 89 to set "scaleable" status.

Departments and PLUs can be set to "auto scale" status to speed up scale entries by automatically retrieving the weight on the scale and multiplying it times the amount entered. . See "Department Programming" on page 85 or "PLU Programming" on page 89 to set "auto scale" status.

A tare is the amount of weight accounted for by the container or packaging. By entering a tare weight (as required by law in some areas) the weight of the container is subtracted and only the true weight of the product is measured on the scale. By entering the tare number (1-5) the operator can automatically subtract the predetermined container weight when a product is on the scale. See "Tare Weight Programming" on page 121.

Direct Scale Entry

Place a product on the scale and access the SCALE function to display the weight on the cash register. Then make the appropriate Department or PLU entry.

Cash Declaration

Cash-In-Drawer Declaration is an optional feature that forces you to count the drawer and declare the drawer count before a report can be run. By forcing the operator to declare, without knowledge of the expected drawer totals, you are assured that all cash will be depo sited. The register will compare your declaration with the expected cash and check in drawer totals and display and print the difference. The cash and check declarations will also appear on the financial report with the over or short amounts.

The appropriate system option must be set to enforce cash declaration. See page 4 of "System Option Programming" on page 101.

Sales Tax Programming

The ER 550 allows three calculation options for each of the four possible taxes.

 Add-On - most sales taxes can be programmed by entering an add-on tax percentage rate.  Tax Table - if a tax entered as an add-on tax percentage does not follow exactly the tax chart that

apply in your area, tax table programming will match tax collection exactly to the break points of your tax table.

 VAT - if tax is included in the cost of the item, you can use value added tax (VAT) to calculate the

tax share of each sale.

 A fourth tax programming option, for the Canadian Goods and Services tax (GST) can be set

using tax rate 4.

Programming a Tax Table

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. The "Tax Table Programming Example - Illinois 6% Tax Table" on page 98 is used as an example in the steps that follow.

Note: You can enter up to 60 break points.

1. Turn the control lock to the PROGRAM position.

2. From the PROGRAM MODE menu, press 2 to view the TAX PROG. screen.

TAX PROG. TAX NUMBER (1-4) 1 TAX TYPE (0-2) 1 0 : ADD-ON 1 : TAX TABLE 2 : VAT

program. (There are four taxes available, enter 1, 2, 3, or 4.) The arrow will move to the TAX TYPE field.

4. Enter 1 for an TAX TABLE programming. The appropriate TAX # PROGRAMMING screen

displays.

1. Examine the printed tax table for the tax you are programming.

2. Calculate the break point differences by subtracting the high side of the previous range from the

high side of the sale amount range.

3. 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.” Count the number of repeat and non-repeat breaks.
