Introduction, basic characteristics Euro-2500T © Elcom Ltd.
•Install the cash register in a place where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight, unusual
temperature changes (under 0° C and above 50°C) or high humidity. Installation in such
places could result in damage to the cabinet and electrical components.
•Leave the cash register turned on for at least 8 hours to charge the NiCd memory back
up accumulator to full capacity.
•After transporting the unit from a cold environment to a warm one or vice versa, do not
switch on the cash register for at least 20 minutes, giving all components time to adjust
to the new temperature conditions.
•Do not operate the cash register with wet hands unless you have a special wet cover.
Water could seep into the interior of the Euro-2500T and cause component failure.
•Clean the cash register with a dry, soft cloth. Never use such cleaning agents as petrol
or solvents. Using such chemicals can result in discoloration or deterioration of the
cabinet.
•Avoid spilling any liquids on the cash register as they may damage its functionality. The
keyboard should be carefully protected.
•Connect the cash register with the supplied adapter into a standard network plug. Other
electrical equipment connected in the same network circuit may cause improper func-
tioning of the cash register. In an environment with strong interference use the special
anti-interference aids recommended by the manufacturer of the cash register.
•If the cash register malfunctions, contact your authorized dealer for service. Do not try
to repair the register yourself. Do not open the cash register!
•Pull out the AC/DC adapter plug from its electrical connection if the device is to be fully
disconnected.
•During receipt printing wait until the printer has finished printing. Do not tear off the
receipt during printing. Printer damage may result.
•Use only high-quality thermo paper. Improper ribbons may result in damage to the
printer or shorten its lifetime. With suitableribbons and careful maintenance of the
printer, its average lifetime is up to 25 milions lines.
•If the red streak appears at the end of the paper ribbon, change this ribbon as soon as
possible. If the ribbon is changed late it can cause printer damage, or decrease lifetime
of the printer.

2.3 The Euro-2500T keyboard
It is possible to connect any aviable POS or PC keyboard to the Euro-2500 cash register. The Elcom
company recommends to use the EK-3000 keyboard, which was developed for this cash register. The EK-
3000 keyboard is programmable, therefore it allows to change the position of the keys.
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-2500T cash register keyboard is very comfortable and easy to operate. 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.).
Note: The buttons PLU1 - PLU8 are binded to items with the PLU numbers 1-8.
Keyboard programming
The keyboard supplied with the cash register can be programmed using the keyboard software supplied on

2.4 Button names and their functions
Numerical keys are used for numerical values entry.
Department keys (used during recording of department sales). They are used for the
report of department sales in X mode and for department programming in P mode.
The PAPER FEED key shifts the receipt ribbon or journal ribbon without printing. The
receipt ribbon or journal ribbon is fed in 1,5 cm by pressing this key.
Pressing this key allows you to enter the bar code through the keyboard in R and T
mode.
Pressing this key in T mode allows you to switch the receipt printing on and off.
This key is used to register the weight of goods from the electronic scales.
After finishing a transaction it is possible to print out the same receipt again. The
receipt is denoted DUPLICATE. It is also used for PLU stock programming in P
mode.
The button CLEAR is used to clear an amount that has been entered incorrectly from
the numeric keyboard. This button also cancels an incorrectly entered function and
the sound signaling ERROR/ALARM.
The VOID button is used to correct the item that has already been registered. If the
transaction is finished in R or T mode, the key is used for switching the cash register
between standard transactions and the PC ON-LINE mode. It is also used for
function texts programming in P mode.
The REFUND button enables you to pay back money, e.g. for damaged goods,
during the sale or as an independent transaction.
The MULTI/X button is utilized for multiplication, if two or more pieces of the same
item are being sold. It is also used for displaying the time in the registration mode and
for backlight in the X mode.
The PLU button (PRICE LOOK UP) makes it possible by means of the PLU code to
retreive the programmed data about the item price, the name, the department, VAT,
etc. See PLU transactions. It produces a PLU report in X or Z mode, and is also used

The button is used to identify the cashier by means of the password and permits the
cashier to log in. This way the proper cashier claims responsibility for the transac-
tions. The name of the logged-in cashier is printed on each receipt header. The
transactions are recorded in the cashiers account and are displayed in the cashiers
report.
In the void mode (R or T) this button functions as arrow down ( jump to next item)
or arrow up (jump to the previous item).
The DRAWER button is used to print the customers or other reference numbers on
the receipt. It is also used to open the drawer with no sale.
The RA button is used to register the received payments if no business transaction
has been executed. It records, for example, insertion of daily opening cash into the
drawer. In the void mode (R or T) this button functions as page up or jump through 5
items back. It is also used for Flag programming in P mode.
The PO button is used to register paid out cash or checks from the cash register as
a non-business transaction. See paid-out function. In the void mode (R or T) this
button functions as page down or jump forward through 5 items. It produces
a periodical report in X or Z mode. It is also used for logo programming in P mode.
These two buttons are used to add the percent add-on or to subtract the percent
discount for a particular item or for the complete transaction according to the pro-
grammed values.
These two buttons are used to add the constant add-on or to subtract the constant
discount for a particular item or for the complete transaction according to the pro-

First lift up the levers for holding up the print heads. Insert a customer ribbon and a journal ribbon according
to the picture. Set the printing heads back down and press the receipt shifting button on the front of the cash
register cabinet until the end of the paper ribbon comes out of the printer. Then press the journal shifting
button until the journal ribbon comes out. Place the right ribbon into the slit of the take-up spool as in the
picture. The journal ribbons edge should touch the take-up spool shield. Turn the take-up spool several times
in the direction of rotation and make sure that the ribbon holds tightly. Put the take-up spool into the holder
and turn it gently, so that the journal paper ribbon is firmly stretched. Close the printer cover. Tear off the
extra paper ribbon and you can start to operate the register.

Two 54/54, 54/38 or 70/38 mm wide thermal paper ribbons are used in the operation of the Euro-2500T cash
register. The left one is designed for customer receipt printing and the right one for journal printing. Use only
good quality rolls of paper with a maximum diameter of 60 mm (2.35 inches).
To ensure proper cash register operation, make sure the print saturation is correct. If any problems occur,
consult your local authorized dealer.
Place the paper rolls into the paper roll beds so that they can wind on to the front from the bottom (see
picture below). The paper ribbon must be cut straight across and must be free of dirt and glue residue.

2.9. Use and storage of thermal paper
The printer of the Euro-2500T cash register prints on 54 mm (2.12) wide paper.
Journal paper storage recommendations:
- do not expose thermal paper to direct light,
- store at temperature not higher than 40°C,
- avoid contact of the thermal paper with PVC, mollificators,or-
ganic solvents or glue.
It is necessary to use rolls of good quality paper. We recommend paper rolls made by Jujo Thermal Ltd.
In the event of violating these use or storage recommendations, Elcom s.r.o. does not guarantee high
quality printing or preservation of the printed data.
If the red streak appears at the end of the paper ribbon, change this ribbon as soon as possible. If the ribbon
is changed late it can cause printer damage, or decrease lifetime of the printer.
