PC-Based Software

Alpha5000ML owner's manual
Your cash register includes:
• RegisterLink PC-based software.
This software allows you to connect the cash register to your PC to download

your sales information and transfer it to QuickBooks® Pro 2002 or later
accounting software.
Program your cash register from the PC - You can program clerk, PLUs,

departments, the header, the footer, and scrolling messages on your PC and
download these settings to your cash register.
Back-Up and Restore - Whether you programmed your cash register data on

the cash register or on your PC, you can back-up that PROGRAM SETTING
and store the data on your PC. Should you lose the memory in your cash
register, you can simply restore the data from your PC back to the cash
register without having to reprogram all the PLU's, Departments and other
data.
Additional Cash Registers - When you buy additional cash registers, you can

use the back-up-and-restore feature with multiple registers of the same model
number. Just program one register, back-up the data to your PC, and then
restore or download the data from your PC to the other registers, as long as
they are all the same model number. This saves you the time of having to
program each register individually.
Check the Royal web site for any new features and upgrades to RegisterLink.
Using the RegisterLink software requires connecting your computer to the cash
register using the serial port. To connect your computer to the serial port, you need
to use the included null-modem serial cable. For technical details about the serial
connection, see About the Serial Port on page82.
For information for connecting the cash register to your PC, see Connecting the Cash
Register to a PC on page77.
The RegisterLink software is on a CD. Please install the software from this CD. Then
check for updates on the Royal web site (www.royal.com). If a later version of the
RegisterLink software is available on the web site, download it from the web site and
install it on your PC. It is important that the CD version of the software is already
installed on your PC before you download and install any updates.
RegisterLink software instructions are separate from this manual. The RegisterLink
instruction manual is on the CD that contains the software. An updated and revised
version of the instruction manual accompanies any newer version of the software that
is downloaded from our web site. Please refer to the RegisterLink instruction manual
for all software related operational instructions and assistance.
