Handling Cautions
Install the cash register in a location not subject to direct sunlight, unusual temperature changes, high humidity, or splashing water.
Do not operate the cash register with wet hands. Water can cause internal component failure.
The cash register plugs into any standard wall outlet (120V AC ± 10%). Avoid connecting any other electrical devices on the same electrical circuit since such connection could cause the cash register to malfunction.
When cleaning the cash register, use a dry, soft cloth. Never use volatile liquids, such as benzine or thinner. Chemicals can discolor or damage the cabinet.
For protection against data loss, please install three new “AA” batteries before using the cash register. However, never forget you must initialize the cash register before installation of batteries; otherwise damage to memory contents or malfunctioning of the register will occur. You can start operating it only after initializing it and then installing batteries.
For complete electrical disconnection, pull out the main plug.

Getting Started
Initializing the Cash Register
For your cash register to operate properly, you must initialize it before programming for the first time. Follow this procedure.
1.Remove the register from its packing carton.
2.Insert the supplied mode key into the mode switch and turn it to the REG position.
3.Insert the plug into the AC outlet.
IMPORTANT: This operation must be performed without batteries loaded.
4.The buzzer will sound three times. Now your cash register has been initialized. The display will show "0.00" with “
”.
Installing Batteries
Batteries must be installed in the cash register to prevent data and programmed contents from being lost from the memory in case of accidental disconnection of the AC cord or power failure. Please install three new “AA” batteries before programming and operating the cash register. Once installed, the batteries will last approximately one year. When it is time to replace them, the “l” symbol will appear on the display to indicate a low battery voltage. If the symbol appears, you must replace them within two days.
Install the batteries according to this procedure with the AC cord connected:
1.Push the printer cover forward and detach it.
2.Open the battery cover next to the paper roll cradle.

3. Insert three new AA batteries.

Always install the paper roll even when you set the register for not printing journal or receipt in REG mode.
1.Push the printer cover forward and detach it.
2.Place a paper roll in the paper roll cradle so that the paper unrolls from the bottom.
DBefore placing a new paper roll in the paper roll cradle, cut off the pasted (taped) part of the paper and confirm that the cut end of the paper is straight. 
3.Insert the paper straight into the paper inlet, and press the f key. The inserted end comes out at the printing area.

2.Press the @/TM key once to display the time.
3.Press the @/TM key a second time to display the date.
Programming the Tax Rate
Before you can proceed with registration of sales, you must first program the tax that is levied in accordance with the law of your state. Your 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, your register can be programmed to calculate these separate taxes.
In order to program the tax to be collected in accordance with the law of your state, you must specify the tax rate(s) and minimum taxable amount(s).
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 state 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.
DFor tax table programming, see "programming"
Tax Rate Programming
The percent rate specified here is used for tax calculation on taxable subtotals. Turn the mode switch to the Z/PGM position and use the following sequence to program the tax rate:
9 ➝ #/ ➝ Tax
SBTL
➝@/TM ➝ Q ➝
where R and Q represent the following.
R:Tax rate (0.0000% to 99.9999%) x 10000 Enter the rate in 6 digits (leading zeros may be omitted). If the rate is fractional (e.g., 4 3/8%), it should be converted to its decimal equivalent (4.375) before entering.
Q:Minimum taxable amount (0.01 to 99.99) x 100 Smallest amount for which tax must be collected. In some states, sales whose amounts are less than the minimum taxable amount are not subject to tax. If amounts $0.01 to $0.10 are not taxed, the value of Q would be 11 (for $0.11), the lowest of the first taxable category.
