Before you can proceed with registration of sales, you must first program necessary items
depending on your needs, such as tax (VAT) system and tax rate, EURO settings, Australian
rounding, decimal point position for currency, though basically your cash register is 
pre-programmed so that you can use it with minimum setup.

• Also for merchandise classifications, your register provides categories of departments and PLU

(price lookup).  To the departments (totally 8 departments), group attributes such as taxable
status are applied on items when they are entered.  PLUs are used to call up preset prices by a
code entry.  Every PLU has a code from 1 to 80, and should belong to a department and obtain
attributes of the department.  Your cash register is pre-programmed as follows:

Department: Plus department, VAT 1 or TAX 1 - Yes, price entry digit limit - 7 digits
PLU:

To use PLU, you must enter preset unit price and the associated department.

• To prevent the cash register from being operated by other person, you can set a secret code.  If

set, the secret code must be entered whenever the mode switch is set to the 

or Z/PGM

position and when a daily Z report is to be issued.

• In your register, a printer is mounted for receipt or journal printing.  You can program various

options for printing, and also you can program not to print receipts or journals in the REG mode
(receipt ON/OFF function).

Read through the sales operations section first to understand what you can do on the cash register,
then program the necessary items as necessary.
