Program Items as Necessary

Before programming, insert the manager (MA) key and turn the mode switch to "PGM".

Note

• On the key operation examples shown below, numeric such as 1234 indicates the number or parameter which must be entered using the corresponding numeric keys.
• On the receipt, the programmed data is printed together with header (date) and footer (e.g. consecutive number).

■ Setting the date

Enter day (one or two digits), month (two digits), and year (two digits) in this sequence.

    E --> F["#TM/ST"]
    F --> G["TL/NS"]

Example: 14:30

■ Programming the VAT(Value Added Tax) rate

If you program the VAT/tax rate, your cash register can calculate the sales tax. In the VAT system, the tax is included in the price you enter in the register, and the tax amount is calculated when tendered according to the VAT rate programmed. In the tax system, the tax is calculated when tendered according to the tax rate programmed, and added to the price. Your cash register can provide totally 6 kinds of tax system and 3 kinds of rates.

In the factory setting, the VAT/tax system is set to "Automatic VAT 1-3 system", and all the departments are programmed as taxable in VAT 1/tax 1 rate. So, if you set VAT 1 rate by executing the procedure shown below, VAT 1 can be calculated automatically to all the goods sold.

In the current VAT/tax system, you can also use VAT 2 and VAT 3 rates when you need more than one VAT rate. Refer to "Programming the VAT/tax rate" to program multiple VAT rates, and "Programming for departments" to allocate the taxable status to departments.

If you make nontaxable for some goods, program a department as nontaxable for all VAT rates. (Please note that all the goods belonging to that department are subjected to nontaxable.)

If you need other types of VAT/tax system, refer to "Computation of VAT/tax" on page 14, and consult your dealer for the change of your VAT/tax system.

Your register allows you to deduct a preset amount or a certain amount manually entered, which are less than a programmed upper limit. These calculations can be after the entry of an item and/or the computation of subtotal depending on the programming.

Discount for the subtotal Discount for item entries

■ Refund entries

If a refund item is the one entered into a department, enter the amount of the refund, then press the RF key and the corresponding department key in this order; and if an item entered into a PLU is returned, enter the corresponding PLU code, then press the RF and PLU keys.

■ Printing of non-add code numbers

Enter a non-add code number such as a customer's code number and credit card number within a maximum of 8 digits and press the #TM/ST key at any point during the entry of a sale. Your register will print it at once.

6 Payment treatment

■ Currency exchange

Your register allows payment entries of foreign currency. Pressing the EX key creates a subtotal in foreign currency.

7 Receipt issuance after finalization

If your customer wants a receipt after you have finalized a transaction with the receipt function being in the "OFF" status (no receipting), press the RCPTIPO key after transaction. This will produce a receipt.

Note

• Pressing the RCPT/PO key in the OP X/Z mode before registration toggles the status "ON" and "OFF".
• When more than 64 lines are entered, the receipt will be issued in the format of summary receipt print.

8 Automatic sequencing key (AUTO key) entries

You can achieve a programmed transaction simply by pressing a corresponding automatic sequencing key. For programming the AUTO key, refer to page 32.

PrintKey operation example

9 Override entries

You can override the entry digit limit setting by making an entry in the MGR mode.

Procedure

1. Turn the mode switch to the MGR position using the manager (MA) key.
2. Make an override entry.

Example

On this example, the register has been programmed not to allow discount entries over 2 digits.

Key operation example

REG-mode entries 1500

Turn the mode switch to the MGR position.

Return the mode switch to the REG position.

CORRECTION

1 Correction of the last entry (direct void)

If you make an incorrect entry relating to a department, PLU/subdepartment, percentage ( %1 and %2 ), discount ( ) or refund, you can void this entry by pressing the key immediately after the incorrect entry.

PrintKey operation example

2 Correction of the next-to-last or earlier entry (indirect void)

With the ∞ key, you can void any incorrect department entry, PLU/subdepartment entry or item refund entry made during a transaction if you find it before finalizing the transaction (e.g. pressing the TLNS key).

PrintKey operation example

3 Subtotal void

You can void an entire transaction. Once subtotal void is executed, the transaction is aborted and the register issues a receipt.

4 Correction after finalizing a transaction

If you find errors during the tendering operation or after finalizing a transaction, you can void the whole entries made in an incorrect receipt in the void mode in the following procedure. (If you find the errors during the tendering operation, enter the void mode after finalizing a transaction.)

1. Turn the mode switch to the position using the manager (MA) key to enter the void mode.
2. Repeat the entries that are recorded on an incorrect receipt. (All data for the incorrect receipt are removed from register memory; the voided amounts are added to the void-mode transaction totalizer.)

READING (X) AND RESETTING (Z) OF SALES TOTALS

• Use the reading function (X) when you need to take a reading of sales information entered since the last resetting. You can take this reading any number of times. It does not affect the register's memory.
• Use the resetting function (Z) when you need to clear the register's memory. Resetting prints all sales information and clears the entire memory except for the GT, reset count, and consecutive number.

    B --> C["⊗"]
    C --> D["*1A 1-3"]
    D --> E["⊗"]
    E --> F["*2Sign and VAT/tax rate"]
    F --> G["⊗"]
    G --> H["*3Lowest taxable amount"]
    H --> I["#/TM/ST"]
    I --> J["TL/NS"]
    F --> K["To program "0""]
    G --> L["To program "0""]
    K --> M["∞"]
    L --> N["To inhibit this VAT/tax rate"]
    M --> O["Procedure"]
    N --> O
    O --> P["TL/NS"]

*1: VAT/tax rate number (1-3)
*2: Sign and VAT/tax rate: XYYY.YYYY (X:Sign -/+ = 1/0, YYY.YYYY:VAT/tax rate = 000.0001 to 100.0000)
*3: Max. five digits: 0 to 99999

In VAT system, the sign and the lowest taxable amount are ignored. They are valid only when you select add on tax system.

2 Programming for departments

Your machine is equipped with 5 (ER-A160) or 10 (ER-A180) standard departments. You can increase the number of departments up to 15 (ER-A160) or 30 (ER-A180).

■ Functional programming

Sign

Assign plus department for normal sales, or minus department for minus transaction.

Tax status

Assign a tax status to each department. When entries are made into taxable departments in a transaction, tax is automatically computed according to the associated tax rate as soon as the transaction is completed.

SICS (Single Item Cash Sale)

If the first registration is to a department set for SICS, the sale is finalized as soon as the department key is pressed.

Entry digit limits

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.

Procedure

graph LR
    A["To set all zeros"] --> B["ABCDEF"]
    B --> C["×"]

D Taxable in VAT 1/tax 1 rate Yes 1
	No	0
E SICS / Normal SICS 1
	Normal 0
F Entry digit limit 0-7

Key operation example

Note

• The tax system of your machine has been factory-set to automatic VAT1–3. If you desire to select any of automatic tax 1–3, manual VAT1–3, manual VAT1, manual tax 1–3, and the combination of the automatic tax 1–2 and the automatic VAT 3, consult your dealer.
• When the combination of the automatic tax 1–2 and the automatic VAT 3 system is selected, one of the tax 1–2 can be selected in combination with VAT3(B).
  Example: BCD = 101 or 110

PROGRAMMING FOR EURO

Your register can be modified to correspond with each period set for the introduction of EURO, and in your register each currency is treated as shown on the table below depending on which period you are in. Basically your register can be automatically modified to correspond to the introduction of EURO by executing the modification operation in the X2/Z2 mode. However, there are several options you must set depending on your needs.

How currencies are treated in your register

		Period 1	Period 2	Period 3
		After the introduction of EURO, and before EURO banknotes and coins begin to circulate	After EURO banknotes and coins begin to circulate, and before national currency is withdrawn from circulation. (Co-existence of EURO and national currency)	After the national currency is withdrawn from circulation

Note

• A cashier must be signed-on before this operation.
• You can perform each operation only once with the substitution of “A=1”, “A=2” and “A=3”. If you perform the operation with the substitution of “A=2” first, you cannot perform the operation with the substitution of “A=1”. If you perform the operation with the substitution of “A=3” first, you cannot perform the operation with the substitution of “A=1” and “A=2”.

The details of the automatic register system modification are as follows:

(As for PGM functions described below, please refer to "Programming EURO system settings" and "Programming function parameters for key".)

When "1" is substituted to "A":

1. Issuing a general Z1 report
2. Issuing a general Z2 report
3. Setting "printing" for a PGM function "Printing exchange total amount and change amount on receipt or journal"
4. Setting "division" for a PGM function "Exchange calculation method"
5. Setting the EURO symbol (€) for the currency symbol of exchange key, and setting "2" for the number of digits after decimal point of exchange amount
6. Setting the round-off function for currency exchange

After the execution of the procedure with the substitution of "1", treat EURO as foreign currency using the exchange key ( ) with the preset rate entry.

When "2" is substituted to "A":

1. Issuing a general Z1 report
2. Issuing a general Z2 report
3. Resetting GT
4. Setting "printing" for a PGM function "Printing exchange total amount and change amount on receipt or journal"
5. Setting "multiplication" for a PGM function "Exchange calculation method"
6. Changing the domestic currency symbol to the EURO symbol (€) and setting the number of digits after decimal point of the domestic currency amount to 2
7. For the setting of the currency symbol and the number of digits after decimal point of exchange amount, the ones that had been set to the domestic currency are set.
8. Setting the round-off function for currency exchange

After the execution of the procedure with the substitution of "2", treat EURO as domestic currency, and previous national currency as foreign currency using the exchange key (EX) with the preset rate entry.

Since EURO becomes domestic currency in your register after execution of the procedure with the substitution of "2", you must change unit prices in each department and PLU to make prices correspond to EURO before actually you start operating your register again. As for the miscellaneous keys, also please change the rates or amounts so that they are based on amounts in EURO.

When "3" is substituted to "A":

1. Issuing a general Z1 report
2. Issuing a general Z2 report
3. Resetting GT
4. Setting "not printing" for a PGM function "Printing exchange total amount and change amount on receipt or journal"
5. Setting "multiplication" for a PGM function "Exchange calculation method"
6. Changing the domestic currency symbol to the EURO symbol (€) and setting the number of digits after decimal of the domestic currency amount to 2
7. Setting the round-off function for currency exchange

After the execution of the procedure with the substitution of "3", treat EURO as domestic currency.

When the operation with the substitution of "2" has been performed already, "3. Resetting GT" is not executed.

When the operation with the substitution of “1” or “2” has been performed already, the currency symbol of exchange key is overwritten with a space.

Note

- If you want to check the current status you are in, set the manager key (MA) to X2/Z2 position, and use the following sequence.

■ Optional Programming for the Introduction of EURO

Some programming relating with the function of exchange key ( [EX] ) cannot be changed automatically with the execution of modification operation described in the previous section.

Currency exchange rate for EX key

For period 1 and period 2, set the EURO conversion rate. For programming details, refer to “Programming the rate”.

Exchange rate entry selection

When you treat EURO currency in the exchange key, you must apply preset rate entry. So, make enable for preset rate entry for period 1 and period 2. For programming details, refer to "Programming function parameters for EX key".

Cheque/credit operation

For period 1 and period 2, enable cheque/credit operation when tendering in foreign currency so that you can treat cheque and credit for EURO currency and national currency. For programming details, refer to "Programming EURO system setting".

■ Displaying the Change Amount in Exchange Currency

You can display a change amount in exchange currency by pressing the key when the change amount is displayed. This may be convenient when you want to give the change in exchange currency in the period 1 and

1. When pressing the EX key again, the displayed amount returns to the amount in domestic currency.

The conditions that you can display a change amount in exchange currency are as follows:

• "Printing" is selected for a PGM function "Printing exchange total amount and change amount on receipt or journal.
  • Exchange rate is not zero.

1 Replacing the batteries

If the low battery symbol “L” appears on the far left of the display, the voltage of the batteries is less than the required level. In this situation, you must replace new batteries within two days.

And if the no battery symbol “L” appears on the far left of the display, less than three batteries are installed in your register, or the batteries are dead. In this situation, you must replace new ones immediately. If the AC power is accidentally disconnected or in case of a power failure, all programmed settings will be reset to the default settings and any data stored in memory will be cleared.
