Quick Start

Quick Start is a brief but complete start-up procedure that allows you to
begin using your new cash register as quickly as possible. Carefully follow
the steps listed below:
1. Make sure the cash register is plugged into a grounded power outlet
and that 4 charged A A size memory backup batteries have been
inserted as explained in the related section.
2. Open the printer compartment cover and slide the control switch to the
PRG position.
3. Set the current date in the day/month/year or month/day/year format
by typing the corresponding numeric keys and then pressing
[ST/#/NS]. Single digits must be preceded by a zero. For example, to
set March 8, 2003, type [080303] and then press the [ST/#/NS] key to
store your entry.
4. Set the current time using the 24-hour (military) format and then
pressing [Qty/Time]. Also in this case single digits must be preceded
by a zero. For example, to set 1:05 P.M., type [1305] and then press
the [Qty/Time] to store your entry. To set 9:15 A.M., type [0915] and
then press [Qty/Time].
5. Program the cash register to perform currency conversions so that you
can accept payment in a foreign currency once you have defined the
specific exchange rate. Type [7] followed by [1] and then press the
] key.
[RA/
6. Set an exchange rate for your local currency. If your base currency is
the GBP, you may want to set the Euro exchange rate for your
currency so that the cash register converts the price entered or the
transaction subtotal into Euro whenever you press the [RA/ ] key.
For example, to program an exchange rate of £ 0.6774 to the Euro,
enter the decimal point position for the exchange rate [4], the decimal
point position for the converted amount [2], enter the exchange rate
[006774] and then press the [Void] key.
7. Set the decimal point position. For example, to leave two digits after the
decimal point, type [1] [2] and then press the [RA/ ] key.
8. Set the first of up to four possible fixed VAT rates. For example, to set
a VAT 1 rate of 16%, type [1] and then press the [VAT] key, type
[16000] (three digits must be entered after the desired decimal point)
and then confirm with the [Amt Tend/TOTAL] key.
9. Program Department 1 as a standard sales department with VAT 1 and
for multiple item sales. For example, to assign VAT 1, multiple item
sales and a price of £3.00 to standard Department 1, type [0] [01] and
then press [Check], type [300] and then press [Department 1].
10. When programming is complete, exit the program mode by sliding the
control switch to the OFF position.
