PROGRAMMING FOR EURO Your register can be modified to correspond with each period set for the introduction of EURO, and in your register each currency is treated as shown on the table below depending on which period you are in. Basically your register can be automatically modified to correspond to the introduction of EURO by executing the modification operation in the X2/Z2 mode. However, there are several options you must set depending on your needs.
Automatic Modification of Register System for Introduction of EURO To make your register correspond to the introduction of EURO, your register system can be automatically modified. According to the steps of the introduction, you can make your register correspond to EURO. Set the manager key (MA) to X2/Z2 position, and use the following sequence. 800 .
When “3” is substituted to “A”: 1. Issuing a general Z1 report 2. Issuing a general Z2 report 3. Resetting GT 4. Setting “not printing” for a PGM function “Printing exchange total amount and change amount on receipt or journal” 5. Setting “multiplication” for a PGM function “Exchange calculation method” 6. Changing the domestic currency symbol to the EURO symbol ( ) and setting the number of digits after decimal of the domestic currency amount to 2 7.
OPERATOR MAINTENANCE 1 Replacing the batteries If the low battery symbol “ ” appears on the far left of the display, the voltage of the batteries is less than the required level. In this situation, you must replace new batteries within two days. And if the no battery symbol “ ” appears on the far left of the display, less than three batteries are installed in your register, or the batteries are dead. In this situation, you must replace new ones immediately.
2 Replacing the paper roll Precaution: Be very careful for the manual cutter mounted on the printer cover when removing and replacing the cover, so as not to hurt yourself. Removing the paper roll When a red dye appears on the paper roll, it is time to replace the existing paper roll. Replace the paper roll with new one. 1. Remove the printer cover. 2. Turn the mode switch to the “REG” position with the AC cord connected. 3.
2. Make a fold in the paper approx. five centimeters from the end. 3. While pressing the á key, insert the folded end straight into the paper inlet. The inserted end appears at the printing area. 4 When not using the take-up spool (using as receipt paper): • Lead the end of the paper out through the manual cutter on the printer cover. (Press the á key to advance the paper more if required.) When using the take-up spool (using as journal paper): • Insert the end of the paper into the slit in the spool.
4. Remove the ink ribbon. Remove the reel that is not locked by the reel stopper first, and tip the stopper to the opposite side and remove the another reel. To remove the reels, pull them upwards. Installation The protruding side of reels must face downward. So, note which reel is the left one and which is the right. 1. Install the reel at the side that the reel stopper is not tipped. Rotate the reel to the right or to the left until it clicks into place. 2.
3. Pour two or three drops of logo ink through the ink inlet situated on the back of the logo. 4. Replace the logo by the reverse procedure to removing. 5. Replace the printer cover. Precautions: The logo ink first gives a clear print 6 to 10 hours after being applied into the logo. Therefore, refilling at the end of daily business is most effective. Overinking should be avoided. This will create a blurry print. Do not apply the logo ink to the ink ribbon.
6 Opening the drawer by hand The drawer automatically opens in the usual way. However, when power failure is encountered or the machine becomes out of order, slide the lever located on the machine bottom in the direction of the arrow. (See the figure shown below.) The drawer will not open, if it is locked with a drawer lock key.
8 In case of power failure or paper jam When power is lost, the machine retains its memory contents and all information on sales entries. The following situations occur during a power failure or paper jam. (Batteries must be correctly installed.) When a power failure occurs when the register is turned on or during a computation process: When power returns, the register resumes operation from the point of failure.
LIST OF OPTIONS For your register, the following options are available. For details, contact your dealer. •Key kit models By using the following key kits, you can change the keyboard layout of your register.
FOR CUSTOMERS IN U.K. IMPORTANT The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: BLUE: BROWN: Neutral Live As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows.
