Initial Clear
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.
CAUTION: Do not share this information with unauthorized users. Distribute the P
Mode key only to those you may want to perform this function.
Here are some reasons you may want to perform an initial clear:
• The register is in an unknown state, and you wish to exit the current program or
transaction without following normal procedures.
• You have performed a function that includes a compulsory activity and you wish
to bypass the compulsion.
• An initial clear may be necessary as part of servicing, or troubleshooting.
To Perform an Initial Clear:
1. Turn the register power switch to the OFF position.
2. Turn the control lock to the PGM position.
3. Press and hold the key position where the CASH key is located on the default
keyboard. Be sure to press the lower key of the two-position CASH/TEND key.
(Because the ER-285M keyboard is programmable, your keyboard may have
another function in this location. Use this location even if your keyboard has
been modified and a different function is in this location.)
4. Continue to hold this key while turning register power switch to the ON position.
5. The message "INITIAL CLEAR OK!” prints when the initial clear is complete.
Release the CASH key.
