Error Conditions
The Error Alarm
The error alarm warns of an operator error (usually when a wrong key
is pressed for a specific type of entry) or of an error made during cash
register programming. The error alarm can also indicate that the control
lock is in the wrong position for the current operation. In case of error, the
error tone sounds, the letter E is displayed and the keypad locks.
NOTE: Moving the control switch from the R1 or R2 position to another
position before completing a transaction will result in an error
condition to remind you to total the transaction.
Clearing an Error
Press the [C] key to clear an error. The tone ends, the displays clear and
the keypad unlocks, allowing you to continue with the transaction or restart
the program.
If an error condition cannot be cleared, perform a general clearance.
Bear in mind, however, that one of the two general clearance
procedures, explained in the next section, will set all counters and
totals to zero and will cancel all programmed functions.
NOTE: The [C] key also clears an incorrect entry from the display prior
to pressing a registration key. Once an entry is printed, the [Void]
key must be used to correct an error.
General Clearance
If the cash register does not function, for example while programming
and the error signal cannot be stopped by pressing the [C] key, perform a
general clearance. There are two ways of performing a general clearance,
whereby the second method resets all totals and counters and
cancels the programming. Use this method only as last resort.
General Clearance without Clearing Totals and the
Programming
1. Open the printer compartment cover and slide the control switch to the
OFF position.
2. Make sure four charged AA batteries are inserted in the
battery compartment.
3. Unplug the cash register from the power socket.
4. Wait ten seconds and then reconnect the cash register to the power
socket and resume your operation.
If the cash register remains in an error condition, proceed with the
second general clearance method.
General Clearance with the Clearing of Totals and all
Cash Register Programming
NOTE: Be careful that this procedure erases all totals and counters, and
cancels the programming of the cash register.
1. Open the printer compartment cover and slide the control switch to the
OFF position.
2. With the printer compartment open, remove the back-up batteries.
3. Unplug the cash register from the power socket.
4. Wait for 15 minutes and then plug the cash register back to the
electrical power outlet.
5. Insert the batteries once again.
6. Reprogram the cash register.
