Introduction, basic characteristics Euro-2000TE Alpha © Elcom Ltd.
• Use paper ribbon, which end is not glued. If such paper ribbon will be used and not
changed early, the printer could be damaged or its life could be abbreviated. In this case
the damaged printer waranty is not valid.
•Journal paper storage recommendations: Do not expose thermo paper to light. Store at
temperature not higher than 40°C. Avoid contact of thermo paper with PVC, mollificators,
organic dissolvent or glue.
•Use only the supplied AC/DC adapter or source recommended by authorised dealer for
electrical connection. The use of another adaptor type may result in damage of the cash
register.
• Use only the program recommended by your authorized dealer as well as the original
interconnecting cable for the cash register communication with a computer. For bar code
scanners use only the connector recommended in these instructions.
•In case the cash register is not used for a long time it is necessary to turn on the ECR
for at least 24 hours per 3 months of disuse to charge the internal NiCd memory backup
accumulator to prevent data memory loss. Note that the capacity of internal lead acid
accumulator drops to about 70% in 6 months.
•If the cash register is used in ways other than those described in these instructions, the
dealer cannot be responsible for data correctness and resulting damages.
•We reserve the right to change information in the manual. The latest published versions
of manuals are available on the site www.elcom.eu.

© Elcom Ltd. Euro-2000TE Alpha Introduction, basic characteristics
1.2 Basic definitions
Logo
The heading on each printed receipt is introductory information preceding description of goods purchased.
It is mainly used to identify the cash register owner (company name, tax information, company identifica-
tion, etc.).
DEPARTMENT
DEPARTMENT (DPT) is used to denote the goods groups having some common features (dairy products,
foodstuffs, fruit etc.). It is characterized by name, parameters and by the preprogrammed selling price, if
it is to be used for direct sale.
PLU
(Price Look Up) abbreviation for the denomination of the specific goods (goods item). PLU code represents
the goods name, the sale price and flags (assignment to the goods group, VAT level, PLU type etc.)
E.g. Full-Fat milk - 13,50 SK, White yoghurt - 7,50 SK).
Relationship between the departments and PLUs.
The following example clearly describes the relation between the goods groups (departments) and the goods
items (PLU). 16 PLU and 4 goods groups were used here.

Report
The sales overview up to the choice (financial, total, cashier, PLU etc.)
There are two basic types of reports: X and Z.
X- reports print the concrete sales values (according to the report choice) without resetting the
data.
Z- reports print the sales values of the called report. After printing the values, all values are
reset to zero in the cash register memory.
Bar code.
Coding of the numeric description of products into bars corresponds with clearly defined international rules.
If a product has an assigned bar code, it appears on each of these goods. The most frequently used code
for product or merchandise denomination in Europe is a 13-digit code according to the EAN norm (EAN-13)
and the 8-digit code EAN8.
Bar code scanner
A bar code scanning device is used to improve speed and
accuracy in goods registration.
System flags.
Basic settings of the register that largely influence correctness of cash register functions. (Number of
decimal places, system of numbers rounding, date, time, etc.)
