USER GUIDE:
1.1 Safety Notes & Precautions
Ensure that the mains power supply corresponds
to that specified on the rating label of the ECR.
Use only batteries of the same type as supplied!
Use of other types may cause malfunction.
Install the supplied batteries according to the
polarity (as displayed on the battery compartment). Do not place the ECR next to liquid dispensing
equipment e.g. wash basin, soda machine, etc.
Dispose off the batteries in an environmentally
friendly manner, according the local regulation.
Clean any dust from the cash register by wiping it
gently with a dry cloth. Never use water or
solvents such as thinner, spirits, etc.
Never attempt to repair the ECR yourself.
Repairs by authorised service agent only.
,
6
#
+
-
aNever insert objects, such as screwdriver, paper
clip, etc. in the ECR. This could damage the ECR
and exposes you to the risk of an electric shock.
ÃDo not expose the ECR to extreme temperatures.
E.g. – direct sunlight, cooking equipment, etc.
LThis cash register is exclusively intended for use
in processing cash register business indoors. Any
other use is considered unintended use.
1.3 Printer Mechanism Notes
To ensure long, trouble-free operation, observe the following instructions:
Never
• print without any paper installed.
• pull the paper while printer is operating.
• use poor quality paper.
• insert used paper rolls.
• tamper with the printer using hard objects.
• move the printer drive by hand.
Pay attention to the markings indicated at the end of the paper roll. Change the paper roll immediately.
Have the ECR/printer mechanism serviced regularly by an authorised service agent.
1.2 Data Backup Batteries
Three new “AA” batteries must be installed in the cash register to prevent data and user-programmed
settings from being erased from the memory in the event AC power is switched off, or accidentally
disconnected, or in case of power failure.
1.4 Connecting to the Power Supply
Before connecting the cash register to the mains power supply, please make sure that the voltage and
frequency specified on the rating label matches with the local power supply.
Data retention:
The power outlet must be near the cash register and easily accessible. This allows you to
disconnect the power supply to the cash register quickly in case of emergency.
With data backup batteries installed, all data in the machine is retained when the power
supply is disconnected. The length of time data will be retained without continuous mains
power supply depends on the level of power available in the batteries.
Safety note:

Install the batteries supplied to ensure that data is retained in the event of a power failure.
1. Remove the printer cover.
2. Pull the paper transport cover ‘A’ up.
3. Insert a thermal paper roll (57 mm Width and max. 70 mm Diameter).
4. Draw the leading edge of the paper over the tear-off edge.
5. Push the paper transport cover ‘A’ down, locking it in place.

a) for Receipt use – tear off the paper at the tear-off edge of the printer mechanism, or
b) for Journal use – feed the paper onto the paper reel. See details on section 1.7
7. Replace the printer cover.
1.7 Using Paper Reel
1. Open the printer cover.
2. Thread the end of the journal paper into the slit in the paper reel.
3. Insert the paper reel into the reel guides.
4. To remove the journal paper after it has been rolled up on the reel, remove the paper reel and pull the
journal roll off.
5. Reinsert the paper reel.
6. Close the printer cover.
1. Open the printer lid.
2. Open the battery compartment cover (black flap) behind the paper compartment.
3. Insert the three AA round cell batteries. Pay attention to the correct polarity of the batteries.
4. Close the battery compartment cover
5. Close the printer lid.
Replacing batteries: To ensure data retention, replace the batteries once a year with the cash register

All operations is performed with the Control Switch in the REG 1 or 2 position
The term ‘department entry’ is used in many times in the operating sequences. This refers to a normal
department entry - remember that an amount must be entered via the numeric keypad before depression
of a department key.
An error prompt is shown as symbol ‘E’ which appears on the display, follow by an
error tone which is cleared by pressing the Clear key. An error prompt indicates an
incorrect key sequence, or a compulsory function has not been performed.
E 0.00
This ECR has 3000 lines for EJ memory. Those are used for REG mode transaction and Z financial report.
Therefore, other transaction like X report and programming dump report will not be buffered to EJ memory.
Warning indicator for ‘Nearly Full’ EJ
‘Nearly Full’ means less than 500 lines
remaining in buffer memory.
13.1 Department Entry note
13.2 Error Prompt note
13.3 Electronic Journal (EJ) notes
In case of ‘Nearly Full’ EJ in REG mode
When the EJ memory is ‘nearly full’, the indicator will be lit. Warning beep ( about 2 seconds) will be
emitted. There are two programmable options – (1) Beep at the end of transaction. (2) Beep at the start of
transaction. See page 16 -- Function # 28 & 29.
In case of ‘Full’ EJ in REG mode
When the EJ memory is full, the message will be displayed as
This is displayed at the start of transaction. And, a warning beep ( about 2 secs ) will be sounded.
At this time, ECR will wait some input.
If key is inputted, the transaction will be able to start.
This transaction will not be saved to EJ memory and Consecutive counter will not be updated in this case.
If key is inputted, the transaction will be escaped.
‘Full’ EJ memory means to less than 150 lines for remaining in buffer memory.
