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

Note

Retainer

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.

Printer lock keyPrinter cover

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.

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

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.

Procedure

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.

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.

Group number

Note

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.

• 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

• 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

Programming for the automatic tax calculation function

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)

PGM 2

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).

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

We call this point “MAX point.”

Page 96

To delete a tax table, use the following sequence:

Note

Example

Note

† @ @ t

max. six digits (0.0001 - 99.9999%)

max. four digits

One- or twodigit number

Rate

max. three digits

max. five digits

@ Ç

Minimum breakpoint max. five digits

Repeat until the MAX point is entered.

Procedure

*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.
