*1 First figure:

The first figure to be entered depends upon whether the difference between a minimum

(1 or 0)

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,

(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.

If you make an incorrect entry before entering the M in programming a tax table, cancel it with the

lkey; and if you make an error after entering the M, cancel it with the skey. 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
