• The Number 1 - The programming mode for a tax table is 1. When
programming any tax table code this number does not change.
For example: If the base tax is .12 cents: Type 121, then press Tax 2.
The display shows 1.21.
Using The Worksheet, complete Step A.
The second number to be programmed is a six digit number. Follow the
instructions and examples below to determine your six digit number. In
PRG position, type the six digit number and then press the Tax 2 key.
Example: 4% State Tax Table:
(2) 100 (1)
x 24
2400
• (1) First determine the multiplier
when multiplied by the percentage rate equals a whole number as
close as possible to the number 100 and still remaining a 2 digit
number. In the example above, the multiplier is 24. The number 4 (the
percentage rate) is multiplied by 24 to determine the number 96 which
is the last two digits of the 6 digit number to be programmed: (24 x 4 =
96).
• (2) The first four digits of the 6 digit number (2400) are determined by
multiplying the number 24 by 100 (24 x 100 = 2400). The final
resulting 6 digit number to be programmed is 240096.
Using The Worksheet, complete Step D.
• In PRG position, type the individual breakpoints of the Irregular
breakpoint pattern and press the Tax 2 key after each breakpoint. Place
the number 10 before the last breakpoint entry.
Example: Irregular breakpoint sequence: 13, 19, 23, 27, 27, 1029

1. The easiest way to determine the multiplier is to divide the number 100 by the
percentage rate until the result is a whole number as close to 100 as possible and still
remaining a 2 digit number.
