OPX/Z MBD OFF VOID PGM REG X1/Z1 X2/Z2

SHARP XE-A206 - Initializing the cash register - 2

Note

If the buzzer does not sound when the plug is inserted, the initialization has not been done successfully. (This will occur when the voltage is still high because you operated the cash register just before starting initialization.) In this case, wait at least one minute after pulling out the plug, and insert the plug again.

3 Installing batteries

Three new alkaline batteries LR6 ("AA" size) must be installed in the cash register to prevent the data and user-programmed settings from being erased from the memory, when the AC cord is accidentally disconnected or in case of power failure. Once installed, the batteries will last approximately one year before needing replacement. At this time, the "L" symbol will appear on the display to indicate the batteries are low and must be replaced within two days. If the no battery symbol "L" appears, you must install the batteries at once.

Install three new alkaline batteries LR6 ("AA" size) according to the procedure shown below with the AC cord connected and the mode switch set to the REG position:

  1. Push the printer cover forward and detach it. Be careful with the paper cutter, so as not to cut yourself.
  2. Open the battery compartment cover next to the paper roll cradle.

graph LR A["To display the signed-on clerk code"] --> B["Clerk code 1 to 25"] B --> C["CLK#"] D["CLK#"] --> E["CLK#"]

Receipt ON/OFF function

When you use the printer to issue receipts, you can disable receipt printing in the REG mode to save paper using the receipt ON/OFF function. To disable receipt printing, press the FCPT/PO 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 CL key in the REG mode. When the function is in the OFF status, the receipt off indicator “_” is illuminated. Your register will print reports regardless of the receipt state, so the paper roll must be installed even when the receipt state is “OFF”.

To issue a receipt when receipt ON/OFF function is set to OFF:

If your customer wants a receipt after you finalized a transaction with the receipt ON/OFF function in the OFF status, press the RCPTPO key. This will produce a receipt. However, if more than 30 items were entered, the receipt will be issued in the format of summary receipt print. Your register can also print a copy receipt when the receipt ON/OFF function is in the "ON" status.

Power Save Mode

The register will enter into power save mode when no entries are performed based on the pre-programmed time limit (by default, 30 minutes).

When your register goes to the power save mode, all the display lights will turn off except the decimal point at the left-most position. Your register will return to the normal operation mode when any key is pressed or a mode is changed with the mode key. Please note when your register is recovered by a key entry, its key entry is invalid. After the recovery, start the key entry from the beginning.

3 Item Entries

■ Single item entries

Department entries

The cash register provides a maximum of 99 departments for a merchandise classification. Group attributes, such as taxable status, are applied on items when they are entered to the departments.

- When using the department keys (for department 1 to 32)

For department 1 to 16, enter a unit price and press a department key. If you use a programmed unit price, press a department key only.

For department 17 to 32, enter a unit price, press the DEPTSHIFT key and press a department key. If you use a programmed unit price, press the DEPTSHIFT key and press a department key.

When using a programmed unit price

graph TD A["1 (max. 7 digits)"] --> B["*2 DEPTSHIFT"] B --> C["Department keyUni"]

*1 Less than the programmed upper limit amounts. When zero is entered, only the sales quantity is added. *2 For the optional departments 17 through 32, press the DEPT SHIFT key.

- When using the department code entry key

Enter a department (dept.) code and press the DEPT# key, then enter a unit price and press the DEPT# key again. If the dept. code is programmed to preset price entry style and a unit price is preset, your cash register will finish its registration operation.

*1 Less than the programmed upper limit amounts

When zero is entered, only the sales quantity is added.

PLU/sub-department entries

For another merchandise classification, the cash register provides a maximum of 2000 PLUs/sub-departments. PLUs are used to call up preset prices by a code entry. Sub-departments are used to classify merchandise into smaller groups under the departments. Every PLU and sub-department has a code from 1 to 2000, and should belong to a department to obtain attributes of that department.

The cash register is pre-programmed to PLU mode and zero for unit price. To use PLU entries, their preset unit prices should be previously programmed. (Refer to page 33.)

To use sub-department entries, change to sub-department mode for the PLU codes.

  1. If you are making the amount tendered entry, finalize the transaction.
  2. Make correct entries from the beginning.
  3. Hand the incorrect receipt to your manager for its cancellation.

PRIOR TO PROGRAMMING

Before starting sales entries, you must first program necessary items so that the cash register suits your sales manner. In this manual, there are three sections: BASIC FUNCTION PROGRAMMING where required items must be programmed, AUXILIARY FUNCTION PROGRAMMING where you can program for more convenient use of keys on the keyboard, and ADVANCED FUNCTION PROGRAMMING where various optional programming features are provided. Find the appropriate features for your needs, and make the necessary programming changes.

Note

You can select the language of text (English, French or Spanish) printed on receipts or journals. For the language selection, please refer to “Language Selection” described later in this section.

■ Procedure for programming

  1. Check to see whether a paper roll is present in the machine. If there is not enough paper on the roll, replace it with a new one (refer to MAINTENANCE section for the replacement).
  2. Put the manager key in the mode switch and turn it to the PGM position.
  3. Program necessary items into the cash register.

Date

Note

You can use the date format of day-month-year (DD/MM/YYYY) or year-month-day (YYYY/MM/DD) format. To change the format, refer to "Various Function Selection Programming 1" section (Job code 61).

Time

For setting the time, enter the time in 4 digits (HHMM) using the 24-hour format. For example, when the time is set to 2:30 AM, enter 230; and when it is set to 2:30 PM, enter 1430.

Note: In the display, current time is displayed in 12-hour format. For AM time, "A" and for PM time "P" will appear in the rightmost position with the current time. If you want to display time in the 24-hour format, refer to "Various Function Selection Programming 1" section (Job code 61).

2 Tax Programming for Automatic Tax Calculation Function

Note: The cash register can support US and Canadian tax systems. If you use the Canadian tax system, you must first change the tax system, then program the tax rate or tax table and quantity for doughnut exempt which are described in this section. For changing your cash register's tax system, please refer to "Various Function Selection Programming 1" section (job code 70).

Before you can proceed with ringing sales transactions, you must first program the tax that is levied in accordance with the laws of your state. The cash register comes with the ability to program four different tax rates. In most states, you will only need to program Tax 1. However if you live in an area that has a separate local tax (such as a Parish tax) or a hospitality tax, the register can be programmed to calculate these separate taxes.

When you program the tax status for a department, tax will be automatically added to sales of items assigned to the department according to the programmed tax status for the department. You can also enter tax manually.

There are two tax programming methods. The tax rate method uses a straight percentage rate per dollar. The tax table method requires tax break information from your states or local tax offices. Use the method which is acceptable in your state. You can obtain necessary data for tax programming from your local tax office.

■ Tax programming using a tax rate

The percent rate specified here is used for tax calculation on taxable subtotals.

Procedure

PrintKey operation example*PGM* T2 4.0000% 0.12

Note

  • If you make an incorrect entry before pressing the third (a FOR) key in programming a tax rate, cancel it with the (CL) key.
  • 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 for fractions.
  • The lowest taxable amount setting is ignored when you select VAT system for Canadian tax.

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

If you are in an area that uses a tax table for tax calculation, you can program the cash register accordingly. Tax table programming can be performed for Tax 1 through Tax 4.

To program a tax table, first make a table like the one shown above right.

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 M2

*1 First figure: (1 or 0) 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 than1.00, 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, (1 to 4) 2, 3 or 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.

Note: If you make an incorrect entry before entering the M in programming a tax table, cancel it with the CL key; and if you make an error after entering the M, cancel it with the #TM/SBTL key. Then program again from the beginning.

- Limitations to the entry of minimum breakpoints

The register can support a tax table consisting of no more than 72 breakpoints. (The maximum number of breakpoints is 36 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.

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

| Metric | Value | | :--- | :--- | | #TMSBTL | 8 @FOR | | Tax rate | 6 @FOR | | M | 100 @FCR | | T | 1 @FOR | | Q | 11 @FOR | | The first cyclic portion | 23 @FOR | | M1 (MAX point) | 111 @FCR | | CA/AT/NS | PrintKey operation example *PGM* T1 6.0000% / 1.00 1 0.11 2 0.23 3 0.39 4 0.57 5 0.73 6 0.89…

Note: 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.

- If the tax is not provided for every cent, modify the tax table by setting the tax for every cent in the following manner.

When setting the tax, consider the minimum breakpoint corresponding to unprovided tax to be the same as the one corresponding to the tax provided on a large amount.

AUXILIARY FUNCTION PROGRAMMING

1 Department Programming

Merchandise can be classified into a maximum of 99 departments. Items sold with use of the department keys can later be printed on a report that shows the quantities sold and sales amounts classified by department. The data is useful for making purchasing decisions and other store operations. Departments can be assigned to articles whose prices were set using PLU/sub-department function.

When using a department key, you must set the parameters to specify the department status, such as positive or negative department. Prices can be assigned directly to departments for frequently purchased items, which enables you to enter the prices by simply pressing the department keys or dept. code entries.

■ Department status

Inhibit department key0

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

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

SICS (Single Item Cash Sale)

- If an entry of a department programmed for SICS is made first, the sale will be finalized as a cash sale 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 CA/AT/NS key is pressed.

Entry digit limit

- Set the number of allowable digits for the maximum entry amount for each department. The limit is effective for operations in the REG mode and can be overridden in the MGR mode.

Example: Programming department 2 as taxable 1, SICS, negative department, entry digit limit - 7 digits, and allowing open & preset entry. (ABCDEFGH: 00011173)

Note

Even if a department is not programmed to allow the entry of preset unit prices in functional programming, the department is automatically changed to allow the entry of preset unit prices by this programming entry.

2 PLU (Price Look-Up) and Sub-department Programming

The PLU function allows speedy key entries whereby a price is automatically called up when a code is entered. The sub-department is a kind of "open PLU", which requires you to enter a price after the PLU code is entered. A maximum of 2000 PLU/sub-department settings are possible. Each one belongs to a department and acquires the department's parameters (tax status, SICS and sign). The cash register is preprogrammed so all 2000 codes are assigned as PLUs associated with department 1 and preset unit price "0".

3 Miscellaneous Key Programming

The cash register provides miscellaneous keys such as %1, %2, ⊖, RFND, RA, RCPTIPO, CONV, TAX, CHK, CH and CAVAT/NS. While the cash register is pre-programmed so you can use these keys, you must set a currency conversion rate to use CONV key. You can also program these keys for more convenient use. Please refer to the data below for programming these keys. Factory setting is indicated with parentheses.

4 Text Programming

The register allows you to program the text for clerk names, department item names, PLU/sub-department item names, and so on, if necessary. There are two ways for programming text: using character keys on the keyboard or entering character codes with numeric keys on the keyboard.

Using character keys on the keyboard

You can enter characters according to the small figures printed in the lower right position of the key tops. For the layout, please refer to "Keyboard" section on page 5.

The following are used as control keys for character entry:

Toggles between upper-case and lower-case letters. By default, the upper-case letter is selected. Once the SHIFT key is pressed, you are locked in for entering lower-case letters. "_" lights up at the SHIFT position of the display when lower-case letters entry is selected. NUMBER Press the NUMBER key to enter numeric characters. For example to enter "1", press the NUMBER and 1 key. If you press the ① key without pressing the NUMBER key, the cash register goes to character codes entry mode. Once the NUMBER key is pressed, you are locked in for entering numeric characters. "_" lights up at the NUMBER position of the display when numeric characters entry is selected. Toggles between single-size and double-size characters. By default, the single-size character is selected. Once the DC key is pressed, you are locked in for entering double size characters. "_" lights up at the DC position of the display when double-size characters entry is selected. BS Backs up the cursor, erasing the character to the left.

Example

To program the word "Clerk01" with the letter "C" being double size.

To enter numbers

Entering character codes with numeric keys on the keyboard

Numerals, letters and symbols are programmable by entering the character code and the 00 key. (If numeric characters entry is selected, that is, "_" lights up at the NUMBER position of the display, press the NUMBER key to release it.) Set the alphanumeric character code table on the next page. By doing this, you can program characters other than those on the key tops.

  • Double-size characters can be made by entering the character code 253.
  • All three digits of the character code MUST be entered (even if it starts with zero).

Example

To program the word "SHARP" in double-size characters

253 00 083 00 072 00 065 00 082 00 080 00 SHARP

When you press an appropriate number key (job code number) and press the ⬙ key for text entry just after you start programming with the #/TM/SBTL key, the cash register will be automatically ready for text entry.

Listed below is an overview of what you can program and the allowable number of single sized characters for each text entry.

• Department text 12 characters - PLU text (item label) 12 characters • Function text 8 characters - Logo message 6 lines and 24 characters for each line - Clerk name 8 characters • Foreign currency symbol 4 characters

ADVANCED PROGRAMMING

1 Register Number and Consecutive Number Programming

The register number and consecutive numbers are printed on every receipt or journal.

When your store has two or more registers, it is practical to set separate register numbers for their identification.

The consecutive number is increased by one each time a receipt is issued or when a journal print occurs.

For consecutive number programming, enter a number (max. 4 digits) that is one less than the desired starting number.

2 Electronic Journal (EJ) Programming

The cash register provides the electronic journal (EJ) function. By default, a maximum of 1000 lines can be stored in memory. If you want to store more journal data, you can expand to a maximum of 3000 lines, although the maximum number of PLUs is decreased to 200 codes because the memory is shared with PLU settings.

You can also program various options for EJ, such as availability of EJ memory nearly full warning, availability of printing EJ data during a transaction, data type to be stored in memory, and printing format.

For reading journal data, refer to "EJ REPORT READING AND RESETTING" (page 60).

■ EJ memory type

Caution: When this procedure is executed, EJ data is cleared, and PLU data (programming data and sales data) are reset to the default after all data is cleared even if the same memory type is selected.

On the default setting, an asterisk is marked.

Temporary EJ printing during a transaction

- If selecting "yes", you can print journal data of a current transaction recorded in EJ memory by pressing the RCPTPO key during the transaction. To utilize this function completely, the cash register is programmed to receipt printing and set Receipt ON/OFF function to OFF.

PGM mode operation records type

- The header information only is printed during the program reading operation.

The header information only is printed for X/Z reports.

(Receipt sample for Header Information only)

01/26/2010 3:22PM 01 123456#1004 DAVID *X1 * *DEPT* * TRANS. *

Action when EJ memory area is full

- By default, when the memory for EJ becomes nearly full, the cash register shows decimal points at the 8th and 9th positions of the display (EJ memory nearly full message), and the cash register keeps storing new data while erasing the oldest data. When "0" is selected, the cash register will no longer show EJ memory nearly full message. When "2" is selected, the cash register shows EJ memory nearly full message and when the memory is totally full, the cash register locks the sales/data entry with a display of the memory full message "E-E". You will only be able to issue an EJ report.

If the print roller arm is not locked, the printer stalls, "H" will appear on the extreme left of the display. Key entries will not be accepted. Push down the arm until it is securely locked, then press the Ⓖ key. The printer will print the power failure symbol and resume printing.

3 Cautions in Handling the Printer and Recording Paper

■ Cautions in handling the printer

  • Avoid dusty and humid environments, direct sunlight and iron powder. (A permanent magnet and electromagnet are used in this machine.)
  • Never pull the paper when the print roller arm is locked. First lift up the arm, and then remove the paper.
  • Never touch the surface of the print head and print roller.

■ Cautions in handling the recording paper (thermal paper)

  • Use only the paper specified by SHARP.
  • Do not unpack the thermal paper until you are ready to use it.
  • Avoid heat. The paper will color at around 70°C.
  • Avoid dusty and humid storage places. Avoid direct sunlight.
  • The printed text on the paper can discolor under conditions of high humidity and temperature, exposure to direct sunlight, contact with glue, thinner or a freshly copied blueprint, and heat caused by friction from scratching or other such means.

4 Replacing the Batteries

This cash register displays a low battery symbol ( ) when the batteries are low, and displays a no battery symbol ( ) when batteries are extremely low or batteries are not installed.

When the low battery symbol is displayed, replace the batteries with new ones as soon as possible. The existing batteries will be dead in about two days.

When the no battery symbol is displayed, replace the batteries immediately. Otherwise, if the AC power cord is disconnected or a power failure occurs, all the programmed settings will be reset to the default settings and any data stored in memory will be cleared.

While the no battery symbol is being displayed, do not turn the mode switch to any positions. Follow the battery replacement procedure below without changing the mode switch position. Otherwise, if the mode switch passes or is set to the OFF position, all the programmed settings will be reset to the default settings and any data stored in memory will be cleared.

Note
