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.

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.)

another, and can be easily moved to areas as a substitute cash register in case of power failure.
The characteristic attribute of Euro-2000TE Alpha is journal storage in electronic form and its printing later.
The memory capacity for journal storage is min. 600 receipts at 8 sold goods. This journal can be printed
together with a total report or separately according to electronic journal parameters set in the programming
mode (chapter 3). The journal can be transfered (stored) to PC and than deleted without printing.
The data may be stored in memory by two forms (chapter 3.4.). The first form are the particular sales data,
thus the journal. The second form is the sales data storage for transfer to PC and their processing later
(create invoice, stock processing, etc.).
The next important attributes are the sale to concrete customer (1) and the create a delivery note (2).

Introduction, basic characteristics Euro-2000TE Alpha © Elcom Ltd.
Inspite of its small dimensions it is technically a very well equipped cash register offering great flexibility
with connectivity to many peripheral devices. It can be connected to a personal computer, to a bar code
scanner, and to electronic scales as well. The Cash drawer, the external display and a PC keyboard can be
connected to register. The cabinet comprises a sufficiently large space for a very adequate paper roll.
The Euro-2000TE ALPHA can be power supplied:
"From the main source of current by means of the AC/DC adapter
"From a built-in high capacity lead accumulator
"From the external battery box
"From the car accumulator (12-24 V) through a car lighter cable
Both the AD/DC adapter and the built in accumulator are supplied with the cash register.
The displays back light, external display, money drawer, external battery box with the starter cord, car
lighter cable, paper roll end optical sensor, communication software for personal computer and modem
communication, water-resistant spill proof keyboard cover and carrying bag, are optional accessories.
The Euro-2000TE ALPHA provides several managerial functions and reports. It supports completely a
national or native language and its special characters. Both programming and reports are in native lan-
guages. The cash register is intended mostly for ambulant, movable or remote sales areas and for
businesses with small sale frequency. Because of its reasonable price this cash register is often used as
a back-up register in situations where a cash register is out of service or a power failure demands a non-
electric cash register.

2.3 The Euro-2000TE ALPHA keyboard
The keyboard is divided into three main key groups - department keys, numeric and functional keys.
The keys (the buttons) in this manual are black with white markings. The numeric keys are the opposite,
white with black numbers.
Large and simple icons, are used for ease in recognizing functional keys. The function name is written in
small letters below the key icon.
The Euro-2000TE ALPHA cash register keyboard is very comfortable and ready for the operation. The
function keys and group keys are equipped with transparent removable covers, so you may substitute your
own customized labels. You can simplify your work if you mark the department keys with your own group
names (dairy products, alcohol, pastry, etc.).
The keyboard is sensitive to contamination, humidity and dirt. If your cash register is situated in
such an environment, it is recommended that an optional transparent waterproof keyboard cover be
used. Secure a cover from your authorized dealer. This helps prevent keyboard failures and keeps
the register permanently in operation. A new cover should replace a damaged or dirty cover.
