4.
Replace the battery co er by sliding down in position. (See Figure D).
5.
Close the printer co er.
THE BACK-UP BATTERY SYSTEM
__________________________________________________________________
During cash register operations, all transaction data for the management report is stored in the register's memory. The memory
also holds all the optional program information. The memory back-up system keeps this information stored in memory when the
cash register is turned off.
The memory is protected by four standard "AA" (1.5-Volt) batteries that must be installed before programming the register.
This register comes with 4 "AA" batteries which, when properly installed, pro ide back-up power to the register memory if the
power cord is accidentally disconnected or if a power interruption occurs. The daily transactions and locked in grand total will be
retained by the machine without (AC) power because of the memory protection feature. A erage battery life protection is
approximately 30 days after power interruption.
TO INSTALL OR REPLACE BATTERIES:
NOTE: It is imp rtant that the unit is plugged in bef re the batteries are installed.
NOTE: In order to assure continuous battery back-up protection, it is important that the batteries be changed at least once
e ery year.

This register comes equipped with the ink roll installed. The ink roll releases special ink to the printhead which produces printout
on the paper. After a period of time, depending upon the amount of use, the ink in the roll will be used up. When printout
becomes faint, the ink roll needs to be replaced.
CAUTION:
The ink roll is NOT designed to be re-inked. Under no circumstances should this be done or permanent damage to your cash
register printhead will result. Such damage WILL NOT be co ered under Royal's warranty.

QUICK START
__________________________________________________________________
Quick Start is a brief but c mplete start-up pr gram that all ws y u t "get started" immediately n the m st basic
aspects f perating y ur new cash register. F ll w these directi ns precisely:
1. Read and f ll w the machine ORIENTATION and set-up instructi ns n pages 1-11. Reminder: It is imp rtant
that the register is plugged in bef re the back-up batteries are installed.
2. Perform the following Quick Start programming procedures:
A. Open the printer compartment and place the control switch at the PRG (Program) position.
B. If a security code has been assigned, enter the security code and press the [CHARGE] key. If no security code has
been programmed, continue with step C.
C. Set the current date by typing the numeric keys to represent the m nth/day/year. Single digits must be preceded by
a zero. For example, to set June 8, 2002, type [060802]. Finalize by pressing the [#/NS] key.
D. Set the current time using the 24-hour clock format. For example: to set 9:15 A.M., type [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): Type [1], [2] and press the [RA] key.
F. To set a fixed Tax Rate (typically for use in the U.S.A. – please see page 42 for Canadian and other foreign tax
procedures): Type [1] for tax rate #1, then press the [Tax Shift] key. Then type the tax rate as a 4-digit number. For
example, if your tax rate is 8%, type [8000]; if your tax rate is 7.5%, type [7500]. Then press the [Amt/Tend/TOTAL]
key.
Please note for the next steps you will use the Department Keys which are the keys (Dept Shift, 1-8) located directly to the
