Depending on the currency base set, displayed when the

Error Conditions

The Error Alarm

The error alarm warns of an operator error (usually when a wrong key
is pressed for a specific type of entry) or of an error made during cash
register programming. The error alarm can also indicate that the
Control Lock is in the wrong position for the current operation. In case
of error, the error tone sounds, the letter E is displayed on the customer
display, the message ERROR is displayed on the operator display and
the keypad locks.

Clearing an Error

Press the [clear] key to clear an error. The tone ends, the displays
clear and the keypad unlocks, allowing you to continue with the
transaction or restart the program.
If an error condition cannot be cleared, perform a general clearance.
Bear in mind, however, that one of the two general clearance
procedures, explained in the next section, will set all counters and
totals to zero and will cancel all programmed functions.
NOTE: The [clear] key also clears an incorrect entry from the display
prior to pressing a registration key. Once an entry is printed,
the [void] key must be used to correct an error.

General Clearance

If the cash register does not function, for example while programming
and the error signal cannot be stopped by pressing the [clear] key,
perform a general clearance. There are two ways of performing a
general clearance, whereby the second method resets all totals and
counters and cancels the programming. Use this method only as
last resort.
General Clearance without Clearing Totals and the
Programming
1. Turn the Control Key to the OFF position.
2. Unplug the cash register from the power socket.
3. Wait ten seconds and then reconnect the cash register to the power
socket to continue.
If the cash register remains in an error condition, proceed with the
second general clearance method.
General Clearance with the Clearing of Totals and all
Cash Register Programming
NOTE: Be careful that this procedure erases all totals and counters,
and cancels the programming of the cash register.
1. Turn the Control Key to the OFF position.
2. With the cash register still plugged to the power outlet, open the
printer compartment cover and press the Reset button on the rear
left-hand side.
3. Reprogram the cash register upon completion of its initialization
routine.
