Turn the control lock to the S position. (The S position is a hidden position one position clockwise from the PRG position.
Initial Clear CAUTION: Do not share this information with unauthorized users. Distribute the C key only to those you may want to perform this function. The initial clear function allows you to exit any register activity and return to a beginning or cleared state. Any transaction that is in progress will be exited and totals for that transaction will not be updated.
Quick Program Guide Introduction First, refer to “Getting Started” on page 9 to unbox, clear memory, and load the paper on your SAM4s ER-180T. Next, you will need to perform a few basic programs to get your register up and running: 1. Set the date and time. 2. Program your tax rate. 3. Set departments for open or preset and taxable or non-taxable operation. Your register is now ready for most merchant environments.
Date and Time Programming Use this program to set the clock and calendar on your ER-180T Series. The date changes automatically. After initial setting, time changing will probably be required only for beginning and ending daylight savings time. 1. Turn the control lock to the P position. 2.

Enter time in military standard time (based on 24 hours), must be four digits (i.e. 1300 hours = 1:00 PM); press the X/TIME key.
Tax Percentage Rate Programming Most sales taxes can be programmed by entering a tax percentage rate. Use the instructons in this section to set your rate. In some cases you may find that tax that is entered as a percentage does not follow exactly the tax chart that apply in your area. If this is the case, you must enter your tax using tax table programming. This method will match tax collection exactly to the break points of your tax table. See the “Tax Table Programming” on page 50.
Quick Department Programs These steps allow you to quickly set tax rate 1 status and open enter/preset status for each department. Refer to the complete department program instructions on page 52 if you need to program status for additional tax rates or set any of the additional department options.

Totaling a Charge Sale Use the charge key to track charge or credit card sales. See "Function Key Programming" in the "Program Mode Programming" chapter to change the descriptor for the charge tender function. You can set tendering options for the charge key, i.e. whether to allow over tendering or to enforce tendering. 1. Register the items you wish to sell. 2.
Split Tender Split tendering is paying for one transaction by more than one payment method. For example, a $22.00 sale could be split so $10.00 is paid in cash, and the remaining $12.00 is paid by a check. If necessary, you can make several different payments. 1. Register the items you wish to sell. 2. Enter the amount of cash tendered by the customer. For example, enter $10.00 and press CASH/TEND: 1 0 0 0 CASH/TEND (=) 3. The display will indicate the $10.00 cash tender and the $10.
Currency Conversion If you normally accept currency from neighboring nations, you can program to convert the subtotal of a sale to the equivalent cost in the foreign currency. To do this, you need to program the conversion factor. For example, if the US dollar (home currency) is worth 1.3720 Canadian dollars (foreign currency), the conversion factor is 1.3720. See "Function Key Programming" in the "Program Mode Programming" chapter to set a conversion factor. 1. Register the items you wish to sell. 2.
Management Reports X & Z Reports System reports are divided into two basic categories: X reports, which read totals without resetting Z reports, which read totals and reset them to zero Running a Report - General Instructions 1. Refer to the “Report Table“. 2. Select a report type and the report mode. 3. Turn the control lock to the position indicated. 4. Enter the key sequence for the report you have selected.
Cash Declaration If compulsory cash declaration is required, you must declare the count of the cash drawer prior to taking X or Z financial and clerk reports. You can enter the cash drawer total in one step, or to facilitate the counting of the cash drawer, you can enter each type of bill/coin and checks separately and let the register act as an adding machine. You can also use the X/TIME key to multiply the denomination of currency times your count.
Report Samples Financial Report Note: This sample report is shown with items of zero value listed on the report. Your report may only show totals with values other than zero, depending on the setting for system option #5.

Program Mode Programming Default Programming All departments are nontaxable and open, without entry limits by default status programming of "00000000". All system options are set to 0 in default programming, unless otherwise noted. Change only the options that will deviate from default programming. There is no need to re-enter an option status of 0, since 0 is its original setting. All programming (unless otherwise noted) is done with the control lock in the P position.
Tax Table Programming See “Tax Percentage Rate Programming” on page 19 to set a simple tax percentage. In some cases, a tax that is entered as a percentage does not follow exactly the tax charts that apply in your area (even if the tax chart is based on a percentage). In these cases, we recommend that you enter your tax using tax table programming. This method will match tax collection exactly to the break points of your tax table. Before programming, obtain a copy of the tax table you wish to program.
Tax Table Programming Example - Illinois 6% Tax Table Break point Differences Tax Charged Sale Dollar Range $0.00 $0.00 - $0.10 $0.01 $0.11 - $0.21 11 $0.02 $0.22 - $0.38 17 $0.03 $0.39 - $0.56 18 $0.04 $0.57 - $0.73 17 $0.05 $0.74 - $0.91 18 $0.06 $0.92 - $1.08 17 $0.07 $1.09 - $1.24 16 $0.08 $1.25 - $1.41 17 $0.09 $1.42 - $1.58 17 $0.10 $1.59 - $1.74 16 $0.11 $1.75 - $1.91 17 $0.12 $1.92 - $2.08 17 $0.13 $2.09 - $2.24 16 $0.14 $2.25 - $2.
Descriptor Programming Methods Descriptors are programmable for each department, PLU, clerk, some function keys and the receipt message. There are two methods available for programming descriptors: 1. Descriptor Entry by Code In this method, there is a 3-digit code assigned for each character (see the “Descriptor Code Chart” on page 57.) The detailed instructions for programming by this method are included in the programming instructions for each Department, PLU, Clerk, etc. that follow in this chapter. 2.
Text Entry Descriptor Program Method 1. Turn the key lock to the P position. 2. Refer to the chart on the next page. Enter the address “Y” to determine the type of descriptor you are programming (i.e. Department, PLU, Function, etc.) For example press “1” to program a department. 3. Again referring to the chart, enter the number “XXXX” that determines the specific department, PLU, function, etc. that you wish to program. For example, press “0012” to program department #12. 4.

Error Correct An error correct operation voids the last item entered, it must be used within a sale. EPROM Erasable, Programmable Read-Only Memory (EPROM) is used by the manufacturer to contain the program that runs the register. EPROMs maintain memory when power is off, allowing the register to be especially stable and reliable. In the case that the register’s program is improved, or updated, the EPROM can be updated by a qualified technicial.
Over-Tendering/Under-Tendering When a payment is made for an amount less than the amount due, it is called an under-tender. After an under-tender, the register calculates and displays the remaining balance for the sale. Additional payments must be made until the total due is satisfied. When the sale is fully paid, the cash drawer will then open and the receipt is completed. When a payment is made for an amount more than the amount due, it is called an over-tender.
