Introduction
ELCOM company wishes to thank you for the purchase of the Euro-500TE Handy. Please read the instructions to
become familiar with its functions and operations before you start to operate this equipment. Keep this manual for
future use. It will help you solve most problems encountered in operating the Euro-500TE Handy.
IMPORTANT
• Do not leave appliance unattended.
• Install the cash register in a place where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight, unusual temperature
changes (under 0°C and above 45°C) or high humidity. Installation in such places could result in da-
mage to both the casing and electrical components.
• Before first use leave the cash register turned on connected to external charger for at least eight hours
to charge the internal accumulator.
• It is strongly recommended to start battery charging after battery discharge signal to ensure long ope-
rating life and preservation of battery capacity.
• During the cash register battery recharging, the cover can increase its temperature. We do not recom-
mend to place the cash register near flammable materials.
• After transporting the unit from a cold environment to a warm one and reversal, do not turn the cash
register on for a minimum of 20 minutes in order to give all components time to adjust to the new tem-
perature conditions.
• Person having wet hands should not operate the cash register. Water could seep into the interior of the
Euro-500TE Handy and cause component failure.
• Clean the cash register with a dry, soft cloth. Never use cleaning agents such as petrol or solvents.
Using such chemicals can result in discolouration or deterioration of covering.
• Avoid spilling of any liquids on the cash register as it may cause damage. The keyboard should be pro-
tected extra carefully.
• Connect the cash register with the supplied adapter into a standard network plug (230V ± 10%). Other
electrical equipment connected in the same network circuit may cause improper functioning of the
cash register. In an environment with strong interference use the special anti-interference equipments
recommended by the manufacturer of the cash register.
Warning: adapter is only for interior use!
• If the cash register malfunctions, contact your authorised dealer for service. Do not try to repair the re-
gister yourself. Do not open the cash register!
• Unplug the AC/DC adapter from its electrical outlet if the device is to be fully disconnected.
• If the external adapter is connected to the cash register, the internal accumulator is charged even when
the cash register is turned off.
• If the red streak appears at the end of the paper ribbon, exchange this ribbon as soon as possible. If
the ribbon is exchanged too late, it can damage the printer, or decrease its lifetime.
• Use the paper ribbon, whose end is not glued. If such paper ribbon is used and not exchanged early
enough, the printer could be damaged or its lifetime could be shortened. In this case, the damaged
printer warranty is not valid.
• Use only high-quality thermal paper ribbons. Improper ribbons may damage the printer or shorten its
lifetime. When using suitable ribbons and by properly maintaining the printer, the average lifetime is up
to 25 million printed lines!
• Journal paper storage recommendations: Do not expose thermal paper to the sun light. Store at a tem-
perature not higher than 40°C. Avoid contact with PVC, mollificators, organic solvents or glue. It is im-
portant to use only paper ribbons, where manufacturer warrants all needed characteristics. In case of
storage recommendations break or using low-class paper ribbons, Elcom company cannot guarantee
printing quality and paper ribbons storage.
• Use only the supplied AC/DC adapter or a adapter recommended by an authorised dealer for electrical
connection. Using other adapter types may result in damage to the adapter or the cash register.
• Use only the program recommended by your authorised dealer and use only the original interconnecting
cable for cash register communication with a computer. For bar code scanners, use only the connection
recommended in these instructions.

Introduction
• If the cash register is used in different ways than those described in these instructions, the dealer can-
not be responsible for incorrect data or damage that may result.
• Only equipment which meets the European Union standards (CE) can be connected to the Euro-500TE
Handy. In other cases, the Elcom company cannot guarantee the adherence to standards of whole sys-
tem. About possibilities of connection with different equipments ask the Elcom company or your authori-
sed dealer of Euro-500TE Handy for more information.
• The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product shall not be treated as
household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to the applicable take-back scheme for the re-
cycling of electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly,
you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health.
• Lead-free technology.
Note:
After four years of purchase cash register, it is necessary to replace the battery backup for the RAM in order
to avoid loss of data stored in backup memory.
BASIC DEFINITIONS
Logo
The heading on each printed receipt is introductory information prior to the description of the purchased
goods. It is mainly used to identify the cash register owner (company name, tax information, company
identification, etc.).

Department
Departments (DPTs) are used to denote groups of goods having some common features (dairy products,
foodstuffs, fruit, etc.). A department is characterised by it’s name, parameters, and by the preprogrammed
selling price, if it is used for direct sale.
Tax level
Tax level is used for the tax assessment of the sale goods. It’s characterized by the percent value, name
and tax type (VAT, DO).
Sales units
Sales units are used in connection with the quantity of sold goods (metres, litres, etc.). Each PLU has assi-
gned a specific sales unit in which the quantity of sold goods is indicated. It’s possible to program 8 sales
units with a maximum of three characters.

10
Introduction
PLU
PLU (Price Look Up) is an abbreviation for the denomination of the specific goods (goods item). The PLU code
represents the goods name, the sale price, bar-code and flags (assignment to an department, VAT level, PLU
type etc.). For example: Fat milks - 0,85 GBP, White yoghurt - 1,20 GBP).
Connection between departments and PLUs
The example in figure 1.2 clearly illustrates the relation between the departments and the goods items
(PLUs). Sixteen PLUs and four goods groups were used here.

Report
A report is a sales overview of a particular 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 chosen) without resetting the data.
“Z” reports print the sales values of the chosen report. After values print out, 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 the 13-digit code according to the EAN norm (EAN-
13) and the 8-digit code (EAN-8).
Figure 1.3 EAN bar-codes

11
Introduction
Bar-code scanner
A bar-code scanning device is used to improve speed and accuracy in goods registration.
Figure 1.4 Bar-code scanner
System flags
System flags are basic settings of the cash register that largely influence correctness of cash register func-
tions (number of decimal places, system of numbers rounding, date, time, etc.).
Cumulated totals (grandtotals)
Cumulated totals are variables that cumulate the values from all sales. There are usually three known grand-
totals: GT1, GT2, and GT3. Their meaning is as follows:
GT1 – gross turnover - this means the cumulated total of all positive values registered in the cash register
GT2 – net turnover - the net turnover means the difference between gross turnover and negative turnover
GT3 – negative turnover - this means the cumulated total of all negative values (refunds, discounts...) regis-
tered in the cash register.
CONCEPTS DEFINING THE LAUNCH OF THE EURO CURRENCY, OR PAYMENT
IN A FOREIGN CURRENCY
Conversion rate
The conversion rate is the total irrevocable fixed exchange rate between the euro and the national currency
which the Council of the Europe Union accepts according to special provisions and according to which the
currency will be replaced by the euro from the day the euro is introduced into the country.
Dual display
The dual display of prices, payments and other values is the depiction and introduction of prices simultane-
ously in the national currency as well as in the euro currency exclusively according to the fixed exchange
rate and other regulations for the changeover from national currency to the euro. Thus, prior to the day the
euro is launched, monetary sums presented in the national currency are at the same time introduced, for
informational purposes, in euros, and from the day the euro is launched, including the day of its launch,
sums presented in euros are also, For informational purposes, shown in the national currency.
Dual cash circulation
The period of dual cash circulation is designated as a temporary period of cash circulation which begins on
the day the euro is introduced and during which, by law, all cash payments may be made in any valid euro
banknotes and coins, including commemorative euro coins which were issued by the European Central
Bank, the National Bank, elsewhere in the eurozone or in participating third-party states, and at the same
time valid national banknotes and coins, including commemorative national coins which were issued by the
National Bank and which were valid on the day the euro was introduced.

Primary currency
The currency in which all important financial calculations are made and which for the authorised period of
the changeover to the euro currency is valid by law in a particular country.
Foreign (secondary) currency
An optional other currency serving for the making of payments and withdrawals concurrently with the prima-
ry currency. The cash register allows the recording of withdrawals and payments for one foreign currency.
The foreign currency can be the euro currency or another such as, for example, the American dollar. During
the phase of dual circulation of the euro currency and the national currency, however, the foreign currency
must be the national currency.
Dual currencies
The currency serving for informational calculation and display of monetary sums. It is generally not possible
to make payments, deposits or withdrawals in this currency. This does not apply if the dual currency is
identical to the foreign currency (dual cash circulation).

CASH REGISTER
CHARACTERISTICS

Cash register characteristics
PARTS OF THE CASH REGISTER, BASIC PARAMETERS
The Euro-500TE Handy electronic cash register belongs among portable electronic cash registers. It is light
and compact in design. The destination of such electronic cash registers usually are small establishments,
tent sale or as a back-up electronic cash register for the emergencies when power goes off. It is possible
to connect this electronic cash register to the computer, bar-code scanner and electronic scales. Other
accessories include external PC keyboard or cash drawer. Inner electronic cash register compartments can
hold two paper tape reels.
The characteristical feature of the Euro-500TE Handy is the capability to store the journal tape contents
electronically and printing it later. The memory capacity for the storage of electronic journal is at least 500
receipts, with eight items each.
According to the electronic journal flags, the stored journal can be printed along with daily report or separa-
tely, or it can be transferred to a PC and there consequently processed/archived with accordance to local
fiscal law regualtions.
The data stored in the electronic cash register memory can be arranged in two formats (how to set up this
format, see next chapter on programming). The first format contains the sale data themselves, as shown in
the actual journal. Second format is designed for PC communication/processing (invoices, stock invento-
ries…).
Other noticeable features include sales that must have a customer assigned (sales without assigned custo-
mer are not possible) and non-financial PLU movements.
Customer number is used for tracking of receipts in text and binary journal, usually by using of specialised
PC software. After transferring the sale data to PC, it is possible to process the sale data further to get
a more detailed overview of sales.
The special key sequences enable non-financial PLU movements (i. e. receiving/handing out stock, invento-
ries and invoices) that allow you to issue special documents like delivery lists or others. This feature allows
the cashiers to make changes to electronic cash register’s article stocks and amounts, but the sale is not
included in the electronic cash register financial data. Depending on the cash register settings, the cash
register can perform a check that the given customer exists in the cash register descriptive PLUs database
prior actual handing out from stock. This handing out from stock can then be conveniently used when trans-
ferred into PC (issue an invoice, process stock, etc.).
The power for the Euro-500TE Handy can be supplied from:
• the mains, using a power adapter
• the internal accumulator
• from car battery (24 V) by using the CL (cigarette lighter) cable
Power adapter and accumulator are included with the cash register.
Optional accessories include customer display back-light, cash drawer, external battery box, PC communi-
cation software…

Cash register characteristics
The electronic cash register offers many managerial functions. Its main destinations are small or medium
establishments or tent sale. Thanks to its low price, this electronic cash register is also frequently used as
back-up for larger electronic cash register models in case of power emergencies.
