Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Euro-150TE Flexy electronic cash register. Before you begin using the cash
register, read these instructions to become familiar with the register‘s features and functions. Be sure to save
this manual for future use. It will help you resolve problems that may arise.
The cash register is equipped in accordance with the requirement of Act no. 289/2008 Coll. as amended.
IMPORTANT NOTICES
• Do not leave switched-on equipment unattended!
• Install the cash register in a place where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight, unusual changes in temperature
(below 0°C and over 45°C) or high humidity. Installation in an unsuitable place could cause damage to the
casing and electrical components.
• Prior to use, leave the cash register connected to the power adapter for at least 4 hours in order to charge the
internal battery (if the cash register is equipped with an internal battery).
• When charging the battery, the external casing of the cash register may heat up; therefore, we recommend that it
not be placed near inflammable materials (if the cash register is equipped with an internal battery).
• Upon carrying the cash register from a cool environment to a warm one, or vice versa, do not switch it on for at
least 20 minutes.
• The cash register should not be operated by a person with wet hands. Water could penetrate to the interior and
cause the failure of parts.
• Clean the cash register with a soft, dry cloth. Never use cleaning agents such as petrol and other solvents. The
use of such chemicals can lead to damage to the register casing or discoloration.
• Prevent beverages from being spilled over the register. Liquids can damage the functionality of the cash register.
The register keyboard in particular should be thoroughly protected.
• Connect the cash register to a standard electrical socket (230V±10%) using the adapter provided. Some electri-
cal equipment connected in the same network circuit can cause the improper functioning of the cash register.
In such a case, use a special anti-jamming device recommended by the maker of the register.
Notice: The adapter is specified only for interior use!
• If the cash register is not working properly, take it to an authorized service center technician. Do not attempt to
repair the cash register yourself. Do not open the cash register and do not damage the seal!
• If the equipment is to be fully disconnected from the electrical network, unplug the AC/DC adapter from its elec-
tric outlet.
• If an external adapter is connected to the cash register, the internal battery which powers the cash register is also
charged even when the cash register is turned off.
• If a red streak appears at the end of the paper ribbon, change the ribbon as soon as possible. Changing the rib-
bon too late could damage to the printer or decrease its lifespan.
• Use a paper ribbon that is not glued at its end. If such a paper ribbon is used and not changed early enough,
the printer could be damaged or its lifespan could be shortened. In such a case, the warranty for the damaged
printer is no longer valid.
• We recommend using only high-quality thermal paper ribbons. Improper ribbons may damage the cash register
printer or possibly shorten its lifespan. With the use of suitable ribbons and proper maintenance, the printer
has an average lifespan up to 25 million printed lines. You can find detailed information in the chapter Usage
and Storage of Paper Ribbons.
• Journal paper storage recommendations: Do not expose thermal paper to direct sunlight and temperatures above
40°C. Avoid contact with PVC, mollifiers, organic solvents, glues and water. When taping a report into an ac-
counts book, only press tape at the end of the paper ribbon in order not to damage the printed data. Paper
ribbons must be kept in proper storage conditions in order to preserve data according to valid provisions. It is
important to use only paper ribbons which meet all of the required characteristics of the manufacturer. If stor-

9
Introduction
age conditions are not met or low-quality paper ribbons are used, the Elcom company cannot guarantee the
quality of the printing or the preservation of data.
• Use only the AC/DC adapter provided or an adapter recommended by an authorized dealer. The use of other
types of adapters may result in damage to the adapter or the cash register.
Notice: For communication between the cash register and a computer, use only the program recommended by your
authorized dealer and the original connection cable for the cash register.
• If the cash register is used in different ways than those described in these instructions, the dealer cannot be re-
sponsible for any incorrect data or damage that may result.
• Only equipment which conforms to European Union standards (CE) should be connected to the Euro-150TE
Flexy. In other cases, the Elcom company cannot guarantee the adherence to standards of whole system. Your
authorized dealer or the Elcom company can inform you about the possibilities of connecting the Euro-150TE
Flexy cash register with different equipment.
• A symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product, upon completion of its
use, should not be treated as common household waste. Instead it should be handed over to a
special take-back scheme for the recycling of electrical equipment and electronic components.
By ensuring the proper disposal of this product, you will help preserve natural resources and help
prevent potential negative consequences on the environment and on human health. You can get
further details from your local office or from the nearest waste-collection centre.
• The product contributes to environmental protection through the use of non-lead technology
during its production.
BASIC DEFINITIONS
Logo
The heading of each printed receipt contains introductory information, followed by a description of the
goods purchased. It is primarily used to identify the owner of the cash register (company name, address,
tax information, company identification, etc.)

Departments
Departments (DPTs) are used to denote groups of goods having some common features (dairy products,
foodstuffs, fruit, etc.) and are characterized by a name.
Tax level
Tax level is used to determine the tax on the goods sold. It is characterized by a percent value.

10
Introduction
Sales units
Sales units are used in connection with the quantity of goods sold (meters, liters, etc.). Each PLU has a spe-
cific sales unit assigned which indicates the quantity of the goods sold. It is possible to program 8 specific
sales units with a maximum of three characters.
PLU
PLU (Price Look Up) is an abbreviation used to denote a specific product item. The PLU code represents
the name of the product, the sale price, its barcode and flags (assignment to a department, VAT level, PLU
type, etc.)
For example: whole milk – 0.63 €, plain yogurt – 0.31 €.
The connection between departments and PLUs
The example in figure 1.2 clearly illustrates the relation between the departments and the product items
(PLUs).

Reports
Reports provide an overview of sales according to selected criteria (daily totals, periodical (e.g., monthly),
etc.). There are two basic types of reports: „X“ and „Z“.
„X“ reports print out specific sales values (according to the report selected) without zeroing out this data in
the cash register memory
„Z“ reports print out the sales values of the selected report, and after the printing of these values, zeroes
out the cash register memory.
Notice:
According to valid Slovak legislation, a daily report in „Z“ mode must always be printed out at the end of each
day.
Barcodes
A barcode is a graphic encoding of a number signifying a product according to strictly defined international
regulations. If a product has a barcode assigned, the barcode is depicted on each packaging for this product.
The most frequently used codes for products in Europe are the 13-digit code according to the EAN norm
(EAN - 13) and the 8-digit code (EAN-8). The Euro-150TE Flexy cash register is also capable of working with

11
Introduction
EAN barcodes which contain an expanded 2 or 5-digit section. The cash register does now allow the same
code to be assigned to different products.
Figure 1.3 – EAN barcodes

&"/ &"/ &"/ &"/
Weight and price barcodes
The cash register is also capable of processing barcodes containing product weights or the price of a product.
The recommended prefixes for coding amounts are 27, 28 or 29 and for coding prices are 24, 25 or 26.
A weight barcode is in the format: PPXXXXVMMMMMK, where PP is the barcode prefix, XXXX is the PLU
number (0001 – 2400, up to. 9999), V is the control number for the scale, MMMMM is the weight of the
product to the third decimal place and K is the control number for the barcode. A price barcode is also in
this same format, but MMMMM is the price of the product, not the weight.

Expanded barcodes
The Euro-150TE Flexy cash register allows you to work with expanded barcodes EAN-13 (+2) and EAN-13 (+5)
with the prefixes 977 and 978, which are used to designate serial publications. If in the programming mode
an item is assigned an expanded barcode through the barcode scanner, the cashier must decide whether
to store the entire code or only its 13-place base. When entering of an expanded barcode from the keyboard
the entire code is stored, including the expanded portion. If in registration mode, an item is registered by
entering an expanded barcode, the entire entered code is initially searched for. If an item is not found, an
additional search is made, but only with the 13-place basis of the entered code.
The barcode scanner
A barcode scanner is a device which ensures the scanning of a barcode. The device is used at the point-of-
sale for the rapid and accurate registering of products being purchased.

Introduction
Turnover
Sales decreased by a sum of negative turnover.
Negative turnover
The total some of:
1. refunded goods
2. negative items recorded in the electronic cash register
3. sales provided upon the sale of goods or the offer of services
Cumulative turnover
The sum of all turnover recorded in an electronic cash register from its launch into operation.
Fiscal memory
Fiscal memory is a technological feature allowing for a one-time and permanent record of data from a daily
report. The change in the fiscal memory is performed by a service organization, which records the reason for
and the date of change of fiscal memory into the electronic cash register book and this record is confirmed
by a stamp, if the service organization has one, and with the signature of a natural person who performs
the change in fiscal memory, this person’s name and surname and the original fiscal memory are handed
over to the business owner. The business owner confirms the transfer of the original fiscal memory with a
signature into the book for the electronic cash register; the business owner is obligated to save the original
fiscal memory until the passage of the deadline for the expiry of the right to levy tax or potential tax.
Control record
A copy of numerical data from cash register documents and documents in accordance with Act no. 289/2008
Coll. § 4 par. 2 letter a) eight point stored in electronic form with a defined structure able to be processed
by a computer (hereinafter presented as the binary journal) and an exact copy of cash register documents,
documents in accordance with § 4 par. 2 letter a) eights point and daily reports stored in electronic form
independently from the operator of the electronic cash register (hereinafter presented as the text journal).
The business owner is obligated to save the data media on which the control record is stored until the pas-
sage of the deadline for the expiry of the right to levy tax or potential tax. On request of the tax office, the
business owner is obligated to make the control record available in paper or electronic form.
Concepts defining payments in a foreign currency
Primary currency
The currency in which all important financial calculations in the cash register are kept.
Foreign (secondary) currency
An optional other currency serving for making payments and withdrawals concurrently with the primary cur-
rency. The cash register allows a record of withdrawals and payments to be kept in one foreign currency.

THE EURO -150TE FLEXY KEYBOARD
The cash register keyboard is made up of a numeric part (numbers), programmable keys (immediate PLU1-
PLU9) and function keys. If there are two functions on a single key, it is necessary to select individual functions
as follows: the function on the lower part of the key is selected by simply pressing the key. To choose the upper
function on the key, it is necessary to first push and hold the „SHIFT“ key. The keyboard is very comfortable
and is ready for all-day operation. The keys are marked by large and simple icons for fast orientation.

PAPER RIBBONS INSTALLATION
The Euro-150TE Flexy cash register uses one thermal paper ribbon whose width is 57 mm. The ribbon serves
for the printing of customer receipt. The cash register keeps the control receipt in electronic form.
We recommend using only rolls of good quality paper with a maximum diameter of 55 mm. To ensure proper
cash register operation, it is important to be sure that the print is sufficiently saturated. If any problems occur,
contact your local authorized Euro-150TE Flexy dealer.

Usage and storage of paper ribbons
Conditions for the proper storage of thermal paper rolls supplied by Elcom, with which the producer
guarantees the consistency of the printer output for at least 5 years and special ribbons of the type TC for
minimally 12 years:
• room temperature of 18 to 25°C,
• relative air humidity of. 40 to 60% max,
• keep away from direct sunlight.
Among impacts limiting the consistency of the printer are:
• long exposure to temperatures over 40 °C,
• being kept in a damp or humid environment,
• contact with softening materials (stored in PVC folio), with solvents, mollifiers, glues, with carbon and
self-adhesive paper, direct sunlight.
When taping a report into an accounts book, only press tape at the end of the paper ribbon in order not to
damage the printed data. If proper storage conditions are not maintained or non-quality journal paper is used,
Elcom cannot guarantee the quality of printing.
If the red color stripe marking the ribbon end appears, change the paper ribbon immediately. Delay in
changing the paper roll can damage the printer or possibly shorten its lifespan.
