key if the percent discounting is performed for the sale total.

A percent rate can be preset on this key; however, if another

rate is entered through the numeric keyboard prior to the
depression of the 17,-1 key, the entered rate prevai 1 s. The preset

rate will be active by a simple depression of the |~%-1 key.

The fraction resulted from the percent calculation will auto
matically be rounded of f .

Since the | X-1 key is fixed with non-taxable status, percent dis

added to the taxable items entered through |DP 1| (Taxable Depart
ment) will remain unchanged.

"VD" symbo1 below the item to the corrected.

depressing any other function key, or to correct any error
condition and cancel the alarm buzzer.

If this key is depressed before depressing a department key in
a quantity extension sequence, all of the quantity, the [X] >
and' the unit price entries are cleared at a time. If this key

is depressed after the j RTN MDSE 1 and a numeric entry (or the
reverse sequence), both the |RTN MDSEj key and the numeric entries
are cleared at a time.

If the [C] key is depressed after a sub-total is obtained, the

POWER FAILURE PROCESS

Should' a power failure occur during printing, the record of all the
registered items will be protected by the battery and the sale total

will correctly be recalled on the power recovery. However, please note

the following phenomena in printing at a power recovery,

POWER FAILURE DURING PRINTING A DEPARTMENT ITEM

If a power failure occurs during printing of a department item, the
correct printout of the item may not be guaranteed. However, on the
power recovery, the power failure symbol "*****-i’i'jVn will be printed
on the next line, and then the sub-total of the sale, including the
department item amount that was being printed at the power failure,
will automatically be printed on the line to follow. The operator
may then go on to another registering item or finalize the sale,

POWER FAILURE DURING PRINTING ANY OTHER THAN A DEPARTMENT ITEM

In this case, neither may the correct printout of the item be

guaranteed on the power recovery. However, on the power recovery

the power failure symbol ''*******ti printed on the next line,

and then the item that was being printed at the power failure will

automatically be re-printed correctly. The operator may then continue

operations.

PRINTER LOCK CONDITION

If the printer is locked due to paper jamming or other obstacles, the
printer will stop its action and becomes in a lock condition with error
alarm and "EE” display so that the printer may be protected from being
damaged at the earliest stage. In that case, remove the cause of the

trouble and then depress the key to regain the normal condition.

If any item was being printed just before the printer becomes locked,

the print content of the item will not be guaranteed. However, an empty

line will be fed and the printer-lock symbol will auto

matically be printed on the line to follow on regaining the normal condi

READ (X) AND RESET (Z) REPORTS

The following are the key operations and print contents of the Read (X) and Reset (Z) Reports.
Both reports print the same content, except that the resettable counters and totals will be reset

(cleared) after taking a Z report while the data remains uncleared after an X report.^ Therefore,
a Z report is usually issued once a day after closing the store, while X report may be issued
any number of times during the day to read the sales record up to that time. A reset count is
printed on a Z report only.

SETTING TAX TABLE

The MA-68 mode 1 can calculate tax using one of three methods of tax
calculation, which can be set in the programmable memory. The three

methods are:

. 1. FULL-BREAK METHOD (OOMAINATION OF. NON-CYCLIC BREAKS AND CYCLIC BREAKS)

(Maximum 32 breaks programmable)

2. COMBINATION OF NON-CYGLIC BREAKS AND X RATE

3. % RATE ONLY

CONDITION I Afterareset

OPERATION; Control Lock: SET

Select one of the following three methods to meet your tax status:

1. FULL-BREAK METHOD

Non-cyclic Breaks

are all entered.

4) Depress fST| to end the non-cyclic break entries.

Cyclic Breaks

1) Do the same operation as in Step 3) above, entering each limit
price for each tax amount that increases by 1^, followed by the

I DPI I key. Enter the last price so that the difference between

the last non-cyclic break price already entered and the last cyclic

once will be a multiple of one dollar ($9.00 maximum). Otherwise,

the tax calculation will not function correctly.

2) Depress 1AT/TL | to end the cyclic break entries as well as the

entire tax program.

2. COMBINATION OF NON-CYCLIC BREAKS AND % RATE

Non-cyclic Breaks

1) Do the same operation stated above in Method 1, Steps 1) through

4) of Non-cyclic Breaks.

% Rate

1) Enter the tax percentage rate above the non-cyclic breaks. (The
rate is entered in maximum 4 digits; 2 digits above the decimal
and 2 digits below the decimal point. For example, to set 4"4,
enter 400.)

2) Depress {AT/TL| to end the percentage rate entry as well as the
entire tax table program.
