Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Euro-50iTE Mini 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.
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 cau-
se 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 char-
ge the 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.
• 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 in-
terior and cause the failure of parts.
• Clean the cash register with a soft, dry cloth. Never use a cleaning agents such as petrol and other sol-
vents. The use of such chemicals can lead to damage to the register casing or discoloration.
• Protect the register from being sprinkled or doused with liquids. 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 electrical equipment connected in the same network circuit can cause the improper functioning
of the cash register. In such a case, use a special antijamming 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 authorised service center technician. Do not
attempt to repair the cash register yourself. Do not open the cash register!
• If the equipment is to be fully disconnected from the electrical network, unplug the AC/DC adapter from
its electric outlet.
• If an external adapter is connected to the cash register, the internal accumulator is 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 ribbon 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 re-
gister 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. Store at
a temperature no higher than 40°C. Avoid contact with PVC, mollifiers, organic solvents, glues and wa-
ter. 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. Paper ribbons must be kept in proper storage conditions in order to
preserve data according to valid provisions.

Introduction
It is important to use only paper ribbons which meet all of the required characteristics of the manufacturer. If
storage conditions are not met or low-quality paper ribbons are used, the Elcom company cannot guarantee
the quality of the printing nor the preservation of data.
• Use only the AC/DC adapter provided or an adapter recommended by an authorised dealer. The use of other
types of adapters may result in damage to the adapter or the cash register.
• For communication between the cash register and a computer, use only the program recommended by
your authorised 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
responsible for any incorrect data or damage that may result.
• Only equipment which conforms to European Union standards (CE) should be connected to the Euro-50 Mini.
In other cases, the Elcom company cannot guarantee the adherence to standards of whole system. Your
authorised dealer or the Elcom company can inform you about the possibilities of connecting the Euro-50TE
cash register with different equipment.

Introduction
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.)

Tax level
Tax level is used to determine the tax on the goods sold. It is characterized by a percent value.
Measure units
Sales units are used in connection with the quantity of goods sold (meters, liters, etc.). Each PLU has a
specific 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.)
DPT
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.
For example: whole milk – 0.63 GBP, plain yogurt – 0.31 GBP.

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.
Bar codes
A bar code is a graphic encoding of a number signifying a product according to strictly defined internatio-
nal regulations. If a product has a bar code assigned, the bar code 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-50iTE Mini cash register is also capable of working
with EAN bar codes which contain an expanded 2 or 5-digit section.

Introduction
The bar-code scanner
Equipment which ensures the scanning of a bar code. The device is used at the point-of-sale for the rapid
and accurate registering of products being purchased.
Figure 1.4 – Bar-code scanner.
Cumulative totals (grand totals)
Cumulated totals are variables that cumulate the values from all sales. There are usually three known
grandtotals: GT1, GT2, and GT3. Their meaning is as follows:
GT1 - gross turnover - this means the cumulated total of all positive values registered in the ECR
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 vlaues (refunds, discounts...)
registered in the ECR.
Concepts defining the launch of the GBP currency, or payment 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.

PARTS OF THE CASH REGISTER, BASIC PARAMETERS
The Euro-50iTE Mini cash register arises from the experience of many people successful in business. Using and
programming the cash register is simple and intuitive thanks to its clearly arranged menu (see the MENU MAP in
the chapter „Helpful Advice“).
The Euro-50iTE Mini belongs to a family of portable cash registers. It is both light and compact. It is desig-
ned for smaller operations, portable sellers, or as a replacement register during electrical outages. It is also
used in small grocery shops, drugstores, textile shop and larger over-the-counter operations - for example,
stationery shops. Despite its small size, it is very well equipped technically.
Specific characteristic of the Euro-50iTE Mini is storing the control tape (journal) in electronic form and later,
saving it on the memory card or download to computer.
The Euro-50iTE Mini cash register can be powered by:
• an electrical network 230V (± 10%) via the power adapter supplied
• the built-in accumulator
• a car battery (12–V) by using a cable connection to the car‘s cigarette lighter.
The package includes the cash register, the adapter, the storage battery and a presentational CD.
The cash register fully supports the English language.

INSTALLATION OF THE PAPER TAPE
The Euro-50TE Mini cash register uses one thermal paper tape with width 57mm. This tape is used for prin-
ting of the customer receipt. The cash register saves the control receipt in electronic form. We recommend
to use only rolls of good quality with the maximum roll diameter of 45 mm. For good functionality of the cash
register, make sure of the correct printing saturation. If any problems occur, contact your local authorized
dealer of Euro-50TE Mini.
