INTRODUCTION

Thank you very much for your purchase of the SHARP Electronic Cash Register, Model ER-A520/A530. Please read this manual carefully before operating your machine to gain a thorough understanding of the functions and features offered by this model ECR. Please keep this manual for future reference, it may help you if you encounter operational problems.

IMPORTANT

• Install your register in a location that is not subject to direct radiation, unusual temperature changes,

high humidity or exposed to water sources.

Installation in such locations could cause damage to the cabinet and the electrical components.

• The register should not be operated by an individual with wet hands. The water could seep into the interior of the register and cause component failure.

• When cleaning your register, use a dry, soft cloth. Never use solvents, such as benzine and/or thinner. The use of such chemicals will lead to discoloration or deterioration of the cabinet.

• The register plugs into any standard wall outlet (120V ±10% AC) which utilizes a dedicated ground

circuit.

Please note that other electrical devices on the same electrical circuit could cause the register to malfunction.

• If the register malfunctions, call your local dealer for service - do not try to repair the register yourself.

• For a complete electrical disconnection, the AC power cord must be removed from the wall outlet.

• Never disconnect the peripheral while the register remains plugged into the AC outlet.

PRECAUTION

This Electronic Cash Register has a built-in memory protection circuit which is supported by rechargeable batteries. It is important to know that all batteries will, in time, dissipate their charge even if not used. Therefore to insure an adequate charge in the protection circuit, and to prevent any possible loss of memory during or after installation, it is recommended that each unit be allowed to recharge for a period of 24 to 48 hours prior to and during use by the customer. In order to charge the batteries, the machine must be plugged in. This recharging precaution can prevent unnecessary equipment malfunctions or service calls.

PRINTER

The printer is a receipt/journal dual station type thermal printer which delivers fast, quiet and high quality printing. The average life of the printer is approximately 5 million lines.

When opening the printer cover, unlock the printer cover using the printer cover lock key, and lift up the cover as shown in the diagram to the right.

Your register is shipped with the print head release lever held in the up position by a white shipping retainer. Be sure to remove this retainer (see the figure at the right) and push down the print head release lever before you use the register.

Print head release lever

The print head can be lifted by the green lever on the right side of the printer. Pulling the lever forward, lifts the print head up. If the paper becomes jammed and you need to move the print head farther forward, you can pull the lever even further toward you and proceed with the removal of the jammed paper.

Do not attempt to remove the paper roll with the head in the down position. This may result in

damage to the printer and print head.

KEYS AND SWITCHES

The mode switch can be operated by inserting one of the three supplied mode keys – manager (MA), submanager (SM), and operator (OP) keys. These keys can be inserted or removed only when the switch is in the “REG” or “OFF” position.

The mode switch has these settings:

OFF: This mode locks all register operation.

No change occurs to register data.

OP X/Z: This setting allows cashiers to take X or Z reports for their sales

information. It can also be used for displaying the date/time and printing the employee’s arrival/departure times. And it can be used to toggle receipt state “ON” and “OFF” by pressing the

key. (This setting may be used only when your register has been

programmed for “OP X/Z mode available” in the PGM2 mode.)

REG: For entering sales PGM1: To program those items that need to be changed often: e.g., unit prices of departments, PLUs or

UPCs, and percentages.

PGM2: To program all PGM1 programs and those items that do not require frequent changes: e.g., date,

time, or a variety of register functions.

MGR: For manager’s and submanager’s entries

The manager can use this mode to make entries that are not permitted to be made by cashiers – for example, after-transaction voiding and override entries.

X1/Z1: To take the X/Z report for various daily totals. X2/Z2: To take the X/Z report for various periodic (weekly or monthly) consolidation of totals.

This key locks and unlocks the drawer. To lock it, turn 90 degrees counterclockwise. To unlock it, turn 90 degrees clockwise.

The ER-A520 provides a cashier system and the ER-A530 provides a server system. The cashier/server codes are available in two variants: Variant 1, the codes are displayed (“0000” to “9999”), and Variant 2, the codes are not displayed (always “ ”). When the cashier/server code is assigned by Variant 2 (codes not displayed), the register prints as the cashier/server code and the cashier/server name are printed both on the receipt and journal for every transaction.

All settings depend on how the register has been programmed. For the available selection of these settings, please consult your authorized SHARP dealer.

You can disable receipt printing in the REG mode to save paper using the receipt function. To disable receipt printing, press the

key in the OP X/Z position. This key toggles the receipt printing status ON and OFF. To

check the receipt printing status, turn the mode switch to the OP X/Z position or press the

key in the REG

mode. When the function is in the OFF status, the receipt off indicator “_” illuminates.

Your register will print reports regardless of the receipt status. This means that the receipt roll must be installed even when the receipt state is

“

OFF” when taking reports.

PRIOR TO ENTRIES

Before registrations, insert the operator key into the mode switch and turn it to the REG position and check the following items:

Receipt and journal paper rolls

If the receipt and journal paper rolls are not set in the machine or there are low rolls, install new ones according to section “4. Installing and removing the paper rolls” under “OPERATOR MAINTENANCE.”

Receipt ON/OFF function

You can disable receipt printing in the REG mode to save paper using the receipt function. To disable receipt printing, press the

key in the OP X/Z position. This key toggles the receipt printing status ON and OFF.

To check the receipt printing status, turn the mode switch to the OP X/Z position or press the

key in the REG

mode. When the function is in the OFF status, the receipt off indicator “_” illuminates.

Your register will print reports regardless of the receipt state. This means that the receipt roll must be installed even when the receipt state is “OFF” when taking reports.

Cashier/Server assignment

The ER-A520 requires a cashier to be assigned prior to operational item entries. The ER-A530 enforces that a server must enter their code into the register. Depending on register settings, it is possible to keep the same cashier/server code assigned when the same cashier/server is to be used for all transactions within a set period. As previously mentioned, there are two variants to consider for the display and print of the cashier/server codes.

The operation entries depend on how the register has been programmed. To determine which selections should be considered, please consult your local dealer.

The unit price of the set PLU (ex. PLU 20) is the registered amount of the set PLU. The tied PLU’s memory is updated only by the entered quantity.

Age verification (Birthday entry)

The age verification function is used for prohibiting the sale of goods (departments, PLUs or UPCs) for certain aged persons based on a registered birthday. When a department/PLU/UPC for which a figure other than zero (01 to 99) has been programmed as the age limitation is entered, a birthday entry must be completed.

• A birthday entry can be performed two or more times at any point during a transaction, however the last entered birthday remains in effect.

• You can enter the date as far back as 98 years.

[Ex.] When the current year is 2005 : you can enter the year 1907-2005.

Oct. 2, 1985 (When dept. 7 is programmed as the age limitation “17”.)

When birthday printing is allowed, through programming (Job no. 2616), the birthday date is printed.

Mix-and-match entries

This function is convenient for matching several PLU/UPC items and selling them in a lump (e.g. bundle sale, multi-packed sale, etc.). The matching q’ty and adjusted amount are assigned to a mix-and-match table. All items that are programmed into the same table are treated as if they belong to one group.

Selling on a mix-and-match basis the following items in table no. 1 to which the matching q’ty “3” and the adjusted amount “$10.00” are assigned:

• PLU 40 (Unit price: $5.00)

• PLU 41 (Unit price: $3.00)

• PLU 42 (Unit price: $2.50)

Condiment entries (for PLUs)

Your register may be programmed for prompting condiment and preparatory instructions for a menu-item PLU.

Example:

When you enter a menu-item PLU, a prompting message such as “HOWCOOK?” will appear. You must specify a PLU such as “RARE” to meet a special order of the guest. In an example of the condiment table show below, it is assumed the condiment table #1 and #4 is assigned to PLU 210 (item label: STEAK/unit price: $13:00). When you enter PLU 210, the message “HOWCOOK?” will appear. You are allowed to enter one of the PLU code, 221, 222 and 223. When you enter PLU 221, “RARE” is registered and the next message “POTATO?” will appear. When you enter PLU 226, “P.CHIPS” is registered. Then press the

key to end this entry.

Price change function (for PLU/UPCs)

You can use this function when you need to change the unit price or associated department of a PLU/UPC item in REG/MGR mode. There are two methods for price changes:

1. Price change mode You can change the preset price and/or the associated department of a PLU/UPC item without entering PGM mode.

2. Changing a price during a transaction When a wrong PLU/UPC price and/or associated department is found during transaction, you can correct them at the time of the transaction. With the entry of a new price and/or associated department, the preset price and/or associated department is automatically changed to the new price and/or associated department.

For the Non-PLU type price embedded UPC-A codes, the prices in the codes have the priority over the preset prices. So, for these codes, a changed price is valid only when the price change is executed.

Food stamp tendering

If your customer makes payment (or tendering) in food stamps, obtain the food stamp-eligible subtotal* by pressing the

key and make a food stamp tender entry before entering a cash or check tender.

The food stamp-eligible subtotal* depends upon how your register is programmed based on the food stamp-eligibility of the automatic tax on a sale of items eligible for food stamp payment, or whether your register is programmed to allow the automatic tax to be paid with food stamps or not or to exempt taxation. The example below presupposes that your register has been programmed to exempt taxation.

When the amount tendered in food stamps is greater than the food stamp-eligible subtotal:

Your register shows two change due amounts in its display. The food stamp change due appears at the left of the display in dollars and the cash change at the right in cents.

• When you enter only items eligible for food stamp payment.

Your customer purchases a $4.25 item (dept.4, taxable 1, eligible for food stamp payment) and another $4.00 item (PLU 34, taxable 2, eligible for food stamp payment) and tenders $10.00 food stamps for them.

• Mixed sale of an item eligible for food stamps and another item not eligible for food stamps

Your customer purchases a $2.48 item (dept. 5, taxable 1, eligible for food stamps) and another $5.42 item (dept. 8, nontaxable, ineligible for food stamps) and pays $5.00 in food stamps and $5.00 in cash.

Two different guest check entry systems are available: the GLU system and previous balance lookup (PBLU) system. It depends on how your register has been programmed which of these is used. Please contact your authorized SHARP dealer for more information about this selection. GLU system: If this system is selected, the balance due and the details of the order are placed in the guest

check file. The information can be automatically recalled by pressing the key, or enteringa GLU code when additional ordering or finalization is required.

PBLU system: If this system is selected, the previous balance is stored in the previous balance lookup file

(PB lookup file). The information can be automatically recalled by entering a previous balance lookup code (a PBLU code) when additional ordering occurs.

GLU/PBLU system

New guest

For a new guest;

• The GLU/PBLU code refers to a number/code that will be used whenever the guest check must be accessed for re-ordering or final payment.

• The available range of GLU or PBLU codes can be programmed for each chashier/server.

• Your register can be programmed to generate GLU/PBLU codes in a sequential fashion. If your register has not been programmed to do so, each GLU/PBLU code can be entered manually.

• The cover count refers to the number of people in the party. When the cover count entry is compulsory, you must enter the cover count (max. 2 digits). When cover count is not compulsory, enter the cover count and press the key.

• When the

key is pressed, the tax is not calculated.

• You can temporarily finalize a guest check by pressing the

key. In the GLU system the check will show the current balance including tax while the tax amount is not added to the GLU/PBLU file, and when an additional order is made, the tax amount is recalculated. In the PBLU system, the check will show the current balance including tax and the tax amount is added to the GLU/PBLU file (charge posting), while the guest check is still open.

PROGRAMMING

This chapter illustrates how to program your cash register.

Basic instructions

All the programming items can be programmed by the Job-Code-Based Programming described later. Also your machine allows you to program some items using the Direct Programming, which does not require you to enter the job code. However, object keys (shown below) must be allocated on the keyboard. For the keys not allocated on the keyboard, you cannot use the direct programming.

Job-Code-Based Programming

Simplified procedure :

Direct Programming

Sample procedure :

Preparations for programming

Plug your machine into a standard grounded AC outlet.

2. Turn the mode switch to the PGM1 or PGM2 position.

To set the mode switch to the PGM1 position, use the manager or submanager key; and to set it to the PGM2 position, use the manager key.

3. Check to see whether both journal and receipt rolls are present in the machine. If they are missing, install

journal and receipt paper rolls correctly referring to the procedure in “4. Installing and removing the paper

roll” under “OPERATOR MAINTENANCE”.

4. Program the necessary items into your machine.

Direct Programming

Date

Enter the month (one or two digits), day (two digits), and year (four digits : 2000 – 2099) in this sequence.

Time

Set the time using the military time (24-hour) system. For example, when the time is set to 2:30 AM, enter 230; and when it is set to 2:30 PM, enter 1430. The time will be printed and displayed using a real-time system. Once you set the time, the internal clock unit will continue to run as long as the built-in battery is alive and update the date (day, month, year) properly.

Your machine is equipped with 20 (ER-A520)/10 (ER-A530) standard departments and a maximum of 99 departments. Your machine allows you to perform the following programming for each department.

Procedure

PGM 2

Group number

You can assign a department to a maximum of nine groups. This programming enables you to take group sales reports.

Commission group number

A commission group number (0–9, 0: non commission) can be assigned to each department.

Sign (plus/minus)

• Assign a plus sign to departments for normal sales transactions.

• Assign a minus sign to departments for minus transactions.

Food stamp status

• Assign a food stamp status (food stamp eligible or food stamp ineligible) to each department.

Tax status (taxable 1 thru 4/non-taxable)

• When an entry of a taxable department is made in a transaction, tax is automatically computed according to the associated tax table or rate.

• Tax 4 is prohibited if you use the food stamp function.

Item validation printing

If item entries must be validated, program corresponding departments for compulsory validation printing.

Tare table number

Tare table number associated with scale entry (1 thru 9).

Scale entry

Program a department for scale entry when your store requires items to be sold by weight and are placed on a scale connected to the register.

Registration type

• If an entry of a department programmed for SICS is made first, the sale will be finalized as soon as the department key is pressed. If the entry is made after entering a department not programmed for SICS, the sale will not be finalized until the

key is pressed.

• Whenever a sale is made to a department programmed for SIF, the sale is finalized as soon as the department key is pressed.

Department type

You may program each department as one of the following three types.

• Normal department

• Hash department

A hash department is used to enter the amount of a special “sale”, such as a gift certificate sale or for the receipt of payment for utility bills, theatre tickets, etc., i.e. “non-sales” registrations. Any amounts entered in this department are not added to the grand total except tax amounts.

• Bottle Return (BR)

• Gas department

The gas department enables you calculate the quantity of gas sold in gallon by using a preset unit price when the sale amount of gas is entered. (quantity of gas = sales amount entered / preset unit price) Also gas discount can be automatically applied to the sales. (discount amount = total amount of gas x reduced unit price for each media; cash/check/charge)

Type of unit price entry

You may select one of the following four types of unit price entry for each department.

• Open and preset

• Preset only

• Open only

• Inhibit department key

HALO (High Amount Lockout)

You can set an upper limit amount (HALO) for each department. The limit is affective for the REG mode operations and can be overridden in the MGR mode.

• “OP” is the same as O

For example, presetting 14 ($100.00) here means that amount entries of up to $100.00 are allowed in the REG mode. When you preset 17, the upper limit amount is 99999.99.

Note

Your machine is equipped with 2000 standard PLU/UPC codes. Your machine allows you to perform the following programming for each PLU/UPC.

• Please note that the price lookup/subdepartment/UPC key (

for ER-A520) is shown as .

• To review the UPC codes available to this register, please refer to the chapter 13 in “Universal

Product Code(UPC) or European Article Number(EAN)”.

•

in Procedures indicates that you scan a barcode.

Unit price

* In case that price shift function is allowed, the register prompts to enter a unit price for the following level by

displaying “P2” thru “P6” on the display, and when a unit price of level 6 is entered, the register goes to the status for programming the following PLU/UPC. When you press the

on the way of programming multiple

prices for a PLU/UPC code, prices for the remained levels are kept unchanged. In case that single price entry is allowed for a PLU/UPC code, the register goes to the status for programming the following PLU/UPC.

Example

Your machine has an automatic tax calculation feature which allows you to program four tax tables to avoid calculating incorrect tax amounts. Automatic tax calculations require you to program, in addition to the tax table, the tax status of each pertinent department, PLU/UPC, and function key.

The tax table (applicable to the add-on tax)

Sample tax table

New Jersey tax table: 6%

To program a tax table, first make a table like the right table shown above. From the tax table, calculate the differences between a minimum break point and the next one (A). Then, from the differences, find irregular cycles (B) and regular cycles (C and D). These cycles will show you the following items necessary to program the tax table:

T: The tax amount collected on the minimum taxable amount (Q) Q: The minimum taxable amount M1: The maximum value of the minimum breakpoint on a regular cycle (C).

We call this point “MAX point.”

M2: The maximum value of the minimum breakpoint on a regular cycle (D).

We call this point “MAX point.”

M: Range of the minimum breakpoint on a regular cycle: difference between Q and M1 or between M1 and

PGM 2

Programming for the automatic tax calculation function

To delete a tax table, use the following sequence:

*1 First figure: The first figure to be entered depends upon whether the difference between a minimum

breakpoint to be entered and the preceding minimum breakpoint is not less than $1.00 or more than 99¢. When the difference is not less than $1.00, enter “1,” and when it is not more than 99¢, enter “0” or nothing.

Second figure: The second figure depends upon whether your tax table is to be programmed as tax table 1,

2, 3 or 4. When your tax table is to be programmed as tax table 1, enter “1”; when it is to be programmed as tax table 2, enter “2”; when it is to be programmed as tax table 3, enter “3”; and when it is to be programmed as tax table 4, enter “4”.

*2 If the rate is fractional (e.g. 4-3/8%), then the fractional portion (3/8) would be converted to its decimal

equivalent (i.e. .375) and the resulting rate of 4.375 would be entered. Note that the nominal rate (R) is generally indicated on the tax table.

If you make an incorrect entry before entering the M in programming a tax table, cancel it with the

key; and if you make an error after entering the M, cancel it with the ıkey. Then program

again from the beginning correctly.

• Limitations to the entry of minimum breakpoints

Your register can support a tax table consisting of no more than 72 breakpoints. (The number of breakpoints is 36 maximum when the breakpoint difference is $1.00 or more.) If the number of breakpoints exceeds the register’s table capacity, then the manual entry approach should be used.

Programming the sample tax table shown on the previous page as tax table 1

You do not need to enter the trailing zeros of the tax rate (after the decimal point) but you do need to enter the decimal point for fractions.

Job-Code-Based Programming

This section illustrates how to program items using job codes. Using job codes allows you to program a wide variety of items in comparison with direct programming.

Start this programming by entering a corresponding job code as shown below.

All the items which can be programmed by the job-code-based programming are listed on this page and the following, and those which can also be programmed by the direct programming are marked with the symbol “ ” that follows job codes.

Setting the date

Enter the month (one or two digits), day (two digits), and year (four digits: 2000 – 2099) in this sequence.

Setting the time

Set the time using the military time (24-hour) system. For example, when the time is set to 2:30 AM, enter 230; and when it is set to 2:30 PM, enter 1430. The time is printed and displayed on the real time system.
