QUICK START
__________________________________________________________________
Quick Start allows you to operate the MR-180 quickly using the most basic features of your new cash register. Do
not skip over the preceding pages however, loading paper, installing batteries, etc.
1. Again, read and follow the instructions contained on prior pages. Reminder: It is important that the register
is plugged in before the back-up batteries are installed.
2. Quick Start programming procedures:
A. Open the printer compartment and place the selector switch at the PRG (Program) position.
B. If you have programmed a security code, enter the security code and press the [CHARGE] key. If you are starting
here, no security code has been programmed, so go to step C.
C. Set the current date by typing the numeric keys to represent the month/day/year. Single digits must be preceded
by a zero. For example, to set April 17, 2004, type [041704]. Finalize by pressing the [ST/#/NS] key.
D. Set the current time using the 24-hour clock format. For example: to set 9:15 A.M., enter [0915]; to set 7:15 P.M.,
type [1915]. Finalize this entry by pressing the [QTY/TIME] key.
E. Set the decimal point as follows (U.S. standard): Enter [1], [2] and press the [RA] key.
If you are not going to program Tax Rates, Assign Clerks, Program Departments, or use some of the other features
move the Selector Switch to Reg 1 or Reg 2 and start normal operation (Number 3 below).
F. To set a fixed Tax Rate: Enter [1] for tax rate #1, then press the [Tax Shift] key. Then enter the tax rate as a 4-
digit number. For example, if your tax rate is 8%, enter [8000]; if your tax rate is 7.5%, enter [7500]. Then press
the [Amt Tend/TOTAL] key.
Please note for the next steps you will use the Department Keys which are the keys (1-8) located directly to the right of
the numeric keys.
G. In these examples, we will program the register to accept a zero price; press [8], [1] and then press the [RA] key.
H. Program Department 1 as taxable. Enter [0][0][1], press [CHECK], enter [1][0][0] and press the [Department 1]
key. Repeat this procedure for all departments you wish to tax.
I. Program Department 2 as non-taxable items. Enter [0][0][0], press [CHECK], Enter [1][0][0] and press the
[Department 2] key. Repeat this procedure to all the departments you wish not to tax.
J. Basic programming is now complete.
3. To begin, slide the selector switch to the R1 or R2 position (R1 winds a Journal Record on the spindle, whereas R2
gives you Customer Receipts through the window opening). Follow the instructions given in "Examples".
4. To print Management Reports, slide the control switch to the X or Z position, then press the [Amt Tend/TOTAL] key.

13
QUICK START
__________________________________________________________________
There are many useful functions that can be programmed to enhance accountability within your business. Take time to
review the Instruction Manual in it’s entirety for a more complete description of these capabilities.
Tips:
Make certain the MR-180 is plugged in prior to installing the batteries.
Know the difference between the “X” and “Z” reports, i.e., the “Z” report clears all data after it prints (there is no
going back if you run out of paper in the process, one of your clerks accidentally runs the report, etc.)
When assigning security codes to Clerks, clerks without security codes will be blocked from operation.
Assigning a security code for programming and the “Z” reports protects both the programs loaded and prevents
accidental clearing of the data.
GENERAL INFORMATION
- It is not necessary to re-program the entire machine to make a single program change or correction. If you wish to
make a change, such as an update on state tax rate, be sure you are in the program mode, then re-do the program in
question. A new program entry will automatically override a previous entry.
- Remember; you enter the program mode by moving the Control Switch to the PRG position.
- Be sure to slide the control switch to the "Off" position at the end of a business day.
- In order to assure continuous battery back-up protection, it is important that the batteries be changed at least once
every year.

PROGRAMMING
__________________________________________________________________
You may customize the unit to fit individual business requirements. Customization includes:
- Programming the Time and Date
- Enabling a Clerk System
- Programming a Percent Discount (-%) Rate
- Programming the Tax Status of a Department and establishing Pre-set prices for Departments
- Programming a Tax Rate(s)
- Programming Price Look-Ups
- Programming Security Codes for the Program, "Z" Management Report, and Clerk(s)
Not all programs need to be enabled. Choose those right for you. The programs remain in the register's memory until
changed, provided the batteries have been installed.
NOTE: If you have not already done so, install the back up batteries now.
Program Mode (PRG setting on the Control Switch)
Programming may only be performed in the program mode PRG position. The combination of the numeric keypad [0-9] and
certain function keys enable the specific. Entries are shown in the display and are printed on the tape.
Throughout this section you will find instructions for enabling different programs. An example will follow. Become familiar
with programming the examples then change the programs to conform to your business.
Program Mode:
1. Open the printer cover.
2. Move the Control Switch to the "PRG" position.
NOTE: If you previously assigned a security code, enter the security code and press [CHARGE].
3. In the program mode, you can enable all or some of the programs.
Regular Operation:
After the programming has been completed, move the Selector Switch to the "R1" or "R2" position to begin.
Clearing Errors During Programming:
If an error occurs, alarm sounds, press the [C] key to clear the display. Determine the cause and reenter the program
step.
The prompt, "SEC Code" in the display means a security code was programmed. You must enter the 4-digit code
followed by the [CHARGE] key. You may then proceed with programming.
Note: You may test your programming by moving the switch to R1 or R2 and completely a transaction. You must touch the
[TOTAL] key to complete the transaction prior to moving back to the PRG position. Failing to touch [TOTAL] prior to
returning to the PRG mode will create an error and the tone will sound. Should this happen, return to R1/R2 and
[TOTAL] the transaction and then return to PRG mode.

16
PROGRAM the DATE and TIME
__________________________________________________________________
To print the date at the top of each receipt, journal record or management report you must program the date. Time, when
programmed may also be displayed by pressing the [QTY/TIME] key.
To program the time to print at the bottom of the receipt, program the time. The time will automatically print and display in the
24 hour format. The time prints in the following format: HH•MM. For example: 9:30, the receipt will print 9-30.
As long as the back-up batteries are installed and have charge, the date and time will update automatically.
