REMOVABLE CASH DRAWER WITH LOCK
This model cash register has a compact cash box that takes up less counter space. The removable cash drawer has 4-bill slots
that are sized to accommodate either US, Canadian or Mexican paper currency. It also has a removable coin tray. The coin
tray is preset with 4-coin slots, however it can be expanded up to 6-slots to accommodate additional coins if required.
The coin separators, creating the walls between each coin slot, are removable and can be re-positioned in another groove to
change the size of each coin slot. Three separators are already installed in the coin tray to create 4-slots. Two additional
separators are included in the box with the cash register (please check the packaging thoroughly) and one or both of these can
be installed to create a total of 5 or 6-slots. To remove a separator already installed in the coin tray, lift out the removable coin
tray from the cash drawer. While squeezing the bottom of the plastic separator where it inserts into the groove opening at the
bottom of the coin tray, turn the coin tray upside-down and use a flat-head screw driver from the opposite side to gently push the
plastic locking tab out of the groove. Be careful not to break the plastic. To install a separator into the coin tray; line up the
separator in a groove with the curved side of the separator facing down and into the coin tray, matching the shape of the coin
tray. Be sure the separator is in one groove only; and push it all the way down into the coin tray until the locking tab clicks into
position.
The cash drawer will open automatically or electronically after completing a cash, check or charge transaction or by pressing the
[#/NS] no-sale key. The cash drawer can also be opened manually by using the hidden emergency lever underneath the
register, towards the back of the cash box.
The cash drawer is electronically locked when the control switch is in the "off" position. In addition, the cash drawer is designed
with a security “lock and key” that manually locks it and prevents it from opening either electronically or when manually using the
hidden emergency lever underneath the register. WARNING: The cash drawer cannot be opened when it is locked using the
cash drawer key (# 515) – do NOT lose these keys.
When opened, the cash drawer can be completely removed from the register by lifting up on the front of the open drawer and
pulling it towards you away from the register. 6

THEDISPLAY
__________________________________________________________________
READING THE DISPLAY
The display shows entry amounts and related transaction information through use of numbers and special symbols. The display
window is situated so that the operator can view the operations.
The display is read from left to right as follows.
Department - The first 2-digits display the department number associated for the specific entry.
Repeat/Multiply - The second digit displays the number of items entered at the same price for the same PLU when repeating
PLU's or multiplying items using the [qty] key.
Amount - The remainder of the display shows the entry amount. Up to 7 digits can be used for the amount of each entry.
For example, if you register a $1.00 item to Department 1 and repeated the entry, the display would show:
Special Symbol Indicators
Special symbols appear at the far left of the display during operation of the cash register. These symbols identify the amount
shown, warn of an error condition or indicate use of the program mode. They include:
7
(Change) - Indicates the displayed amount is change due to the customer.
(Minus) - Displays for a negative entry. Also displays if subtotal or cash tendered total is a negative
number due to a return or refund.
(Subtotal) - Indicates amount shown is a subtotal, including tax if applicable.
(Total) - Indicates amount shown is the total of the transaction.
(Error) - Displays if an error is made during operation or when setting programs. An error tone will sound
to alert the operator. To stop the error tone (beep) and to clear the error, press the [C] Clear key
(Security Code) - Displays when a security code has been programmed and an entry is attempted in the
“Z” mode.
These symbols clear automatically when you start the next entry or press the [C] Clear key.
DISPLAYING THE TIME
Simply press the [qty/time] key to display the current time. (See SETTING THE DATE AND TIME to set the time). The time is
displayed in 24-hour format. (See Page 15). The displayed time is automatically cleared once a transaction is started.
NOTE: Trying to use this feature during a transaction will result in an error tone. If this occurs, press [C] to clear the error.

8
ERROR CONDITIONS
__________________________________________________________________
THE ERROR ALARM SYSTEM
The error alarm system warns of an operator error (usually pressing the wrong key for a specific type of entry) or an error when
setting a program option. When the error beep tone sounds, an "E" appears in the display and the keypad locks. An error tone
will also occur if the user tries to use a cash register function that has not been programmed yet.
To clear the "E" error, simply press the [C] Clear key.
NOTE: After starting a transaction, moving the Control Switch from "R1" or "R2" to another position before
completing a transaction will result in an error condition to remind you to finish and total the transaction.
Clearing an Error:
1. Press the [C] Clear key. The tone ends, the display clears and the keypad unlocks.
2. Determine what error was made.
3. Correct the error, continue with the transaction, finish the transaction or restart the program.
NOTE: The [C] Clear key also clears an incorrect entry from the display prior to pressing a registration key. Once an entry is
printed, the [void] key must be used to correct an error.
VOIDING ERRORS
Once an entry is printed on the tape, the [C] Clear key cannot be used to correct the transaction or entry. Use the [void] key to
correct an error just registered.
1. Voiding the Entry Just Completed:
If an incorrect entry has been made AND the transaction has not yet been completed (the [subtotal] or [amount
tend/TOTAL] keys have NOT been pressed), simply press the [void] key to reverse the last entry BEFORE continuing with
any other entries. The entry is reprinted with a "VD" symbol following the amount and reversed or subtracted from the
transaction.
2. Voiding an Earlier Entry:
To void an earlier entry in a previous transaction:
1. Complete and total the transaction, which includes the erroneous entry.
2. Start a new void transaction that will off-set the original transaction.
3. Press the [void] key.
4. Re-type the incorrect information for the first item, exactly as originally entered (with the incorrect price or other error).
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 for each item in the original transaction.
6. Total the transaction by pressing the [amount tend/TOTAL] key.
7. Then, you can start a new sale with the correct price or correct other information.

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, such as PLU and department information programmed in the register.
The memory is protected by 3 standard "AA"(1.5-Volt) batteries that should be installed before programming the register.
Batteries are included with the register.
When properly installed, these batteries provide back-up power to the register memory if the power cord is accidentally
disconnected or if a power interruption occurs. The daily transactions, locked-in grand total and all user-programmed
information will be retained by the machine without (AC) power because of the memory protection feature. Average battery life
protection is approximately 30 days after power interruption. To ensure proper memory protections, batteries should be
replaced with new batteries after any lengthy interruption of power, once power has been restored, or once a year with normal
use.
TO INSTALL OR REPLACE BATTERIES:
1. Be sure the cash register is plugged-in and there is power to the machine.
2. Move the control switch to the "R1 or "R2" position.
3. Open the printer cover as described on the next page in Figure E. The battery compartment is located
inside the printer compartment.
4. Remove the paper roll from the compartment.
5. Remove the battery cover (Figure B), located on the bottom of the printer compartment.
6. Position the batteries as indicated (Figure C), making sure that the positive and negative poles are aligned
correctly.
7. Replace the battery cover. (See Figure D).
NOTE: It is important that the unit is plugged in before the batteries are first installed and when replaced.
NOTE: In order to assure continuous battery back-up protection, it is important that the batteries be changed at least
once every year.

LOADING PAPER
__________________________________________________________________
HOW TO LOAD THE PAPER
This register uses standard 2 ¼ inch (57mm) single-ply bond paper to produce either a customer receipt (outside) or a journal
record (inside).
NOTE: It is recommended to use ROYAL brand 2 1/4" (57mm) bond paper, which will help prevent dust deposits on the printer
mechanism caused by inexpensive paper rolls. Replace with standard bond quality calculator paper. ROYAL Part #013129.
To order, call the Royal Supply Center toll free at 1-888-261-4555.
1. Plug in your cash register.
2. Grasp the printer cover by the finger tab on front, left side of the cover. Gently pull up on the front of the cover and
then raise it towards the back of the cash register (it is on a hinge and can be completely removed from the register).
(Figure E)
3. Cut or tear the end of the paper roll evenly for a straight edge to permit proper feeding through the print head.
4. Place the paper roll in the paper holder so that the paper will feed out from the bottom of the roll toward the front of the
register.
5. Insert the end of the paper roll into the paper slot (Figure F), the printer, under the black, plastic writing table.
6. Depress the [feed] key until the paper catches and advances through the printer.
7. If the paper does not feed through the printer, make sure the paper has a smooth, straight edge and was inserted in the
proper slot.
8. Pass the tape through the receipt window of the printer cover, in front of the metal paper cutting blade, if a customer
receipt is desired.
or
If a journal record is desired, wind the tape around the black, plastic journal winder spool. Simply advance the tape
approximately 10-12 inches by using the paper feed [feed] key. Remove the left edge of the winder spool. Then, wrap the
beginning edge of the paper tape around the inner core or the winder spool and slide the tape under the two forks that
extend on both sides of the journal winder spool. (See Figure G). Turn the spindle manually a few times to take up the
excess paper. Replace the left edge of the journal winder spool and place the entire spool back into its holder towards the
back of the printer compartment. Then press the [feed] key until the journal paper tightens the paper securely around the
spindle. (Figure H)
9. Close the printer cover.
10

INSTALLING INK ROLL
__________________________________________________________________
HOW TO CHANGE THE INK ROLL
This register comes equipped with the ink roll installed at the factory. The ink roll releases special ink to the print head, which
produces the print 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 print head will result. Such damage WILL NOT be covered under Royal's warranty.
REPLACE YOUR INK ROLL FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW:
1. Open the printer compartment by lifting the
black, plastic printer cover.
2. The ink roll is found in the front of the
printer compartment, just behind the print
head, and is mounted in a plastic cartridge.
To remove, grasp the small clip on the left of
the ink roll (where the words “PULL UP” may
be printed on the ink roll cartridge) and pull up.
The ink roll will easily pull up and away from
the print head. (Figure I)
3. To replace a new ink roll, insert the ink roll
according to markings "L" (Left) and "R"
(Right) by pressing downward to lock it into
position, then close the printer cover. No tools
are necessary.
For best performance, store unopened ink roll
package in a cool, dry place until installed.
NOTE: Replace with ROYAL Ink Roll, Part #013109.
To order, call the Royal Supply Center toll free at 1-888-261-4555.

QUICK START
__________________________________________________________________
Once you have mastered the Quick Start operations, you may want to take advantage of other valuable register functions such
as Percent Discount Rate, Price Look-Ups (PLU’s) and Security Codes. If you have questions regarding Quick Start or any
other aspects of the machine operation, call Royal Customer Service, toll-free, at 1-800-272-6229.
HELPFUL HINTS FOR A SUCCESSFUL START-UP
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 update a state tax rate, be sure you are in the “prg” program mode, then re-do the specific program in
question. A new program entry will automatically override a previous entry. The change will also carry through-out the
rest of the register programming. For example, if the tax percentage is changed for Tax Rate # 1, after entering the new
tax percentage you do NOT have to re-enter or re-program all of the departments linked to Tax #1. All of the taxable
departments linked to that tax rate will automatically have the correct, new tax percentage.
- 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.

SETTING PROGRAMS
__________________________________________________________________
This cash register allows you to set programs customized to your individual business requirements. These programs include:
- Setting the Time and Date
- Setting the Clerk System
- Setting a Percent Discount (-%) Rate
- Assigning a Department Tax Status and Pre-set Department prices
- Setting a Tax Rate
- Creating Price Look-Ups (PLU’s)
- Assigning a Security Code for the Program and "Z" Management Report Modes
You may set some or all of the programs, depending on your business needs. Once selected, these programs stay in the
register's memory until you change them.
NOTE: Be sure the memory back-up batteries are installed before setting these programs.
SETTING PROGRAMS
All programs are set by first entering the “prg” program mode with the control switch. Then the specific settings are programmed
using the numeric keypad [0-9] and appropriate operation or function keys. Program selections appear in the display to verify
entry and are printed on the receipt paper for your record.
In this section you will find simple step-by-step procedures for each program. Following each procedure is an example. We
suggest you complete the examples to become familiar with the program, then reset the programs according to your own
requirements.
Entering the Program Mode:
1. Set the Control Switch to the "prg" position.
2. Once in the program mode, you can set some or all of the programs.
Exiting the Program Mode:
After all the desired programs are set, simply move the Control Switch to the "R1" or "R2" position to begin transactions or
turn to the "off" position if you are finished.
Clearing Errors:
If an error tone sounds, press the [C] key to clear the display. Re-enter the program step, correcting the error.
If the prompt "SEC Code" appears, this means a security code was programmed. Enter the 4-digit code followed by the
[amt tend/TOTAL] key. Then proceed with programming.
Note: While you are programming your register, you might shift to R1 or R2 mode to test a feature by running a transaction. If
you do not [TOTAL] the transaction, when you return to “prg” mode an error tone will sound. Simply return to R1/R2 and
[TOTAL] the transaction by pressing the [amt tend/TOTAL] key and then return to PRG mode.

SETTING THE DATE AND TIME
__________________________________________________________________
Set the date option to print the current date at the top of each receipt, journal record or management report.
Set the time option to print the current time at the bottom of the receipt. The time will automatically print and display in military –
time (24-hour format). The time prints in the following format: HH•MM. For example: 9:30. If the time is AM, the receipt will
print 9-30. If the time is 9:30 PM, then the receipt will print 21-30.
There is an internal clock and the date and time change automatically as long as the back-up batteries are installed.
Setting the Date:
1. Enter the program mode by sliding the Control Switch to the "prg" position.
2. Type [the 6-digit number] representing the current date. Use the format MMDDYY to enter the date. NOTE: Single
digit numbers for months and days must be preceded by a zero [0].
3. Press the [#/NS] key to store the date.
4. Continue with the next program or move the Control Switch out of the Program mode.
Example: Set a date of March 7, 2006
Type/Press: The Display Shows: The Receipt Shows:
030706 + [#/NS] 307.06 03·07·06
Date Format: The date will automatically print in the following format: MM-DD-YY (Month-Day-Year). For
example: 03·07·06.
Setting the Time:
1. Enter the program mode by sliding the Control Switch to the "prg" position.
2. Type [the current time] using the following format: HHMM. The time MUST be entered in 24-hour format (Military
time)
3. Press the [qty/time] key to store the time.
4. Continue with the next program or move the Control Switch out of the Program mode.
Example: Set the time at 3:30 PM: (with 24-hour format)
Type/Press: The Display Shows: The Receipt Shows:
1530 + [qty/time] 15·30 15-30

SETTING THE CLERK SYSTEM
__________________________________________________________________
The Clerk System allows transactions to be associated with a clerk #. Optionally, there can be a security code assigned to each
clerk number. The benefit of the system is that sales can be tracked by clerk; a Clerk Report captures the number of
transactions and sales for each Clerk number.
There are a few steps to set up the Clerk System.
1. Activate/Disable the Clerk System
2. Determine whether Clerk #’s are required to be entered with or without a security code
3. Assign the security code to each Clerk #
Activate/Disable the Clerk System:
1. If needed, enter the program mode: Move the Control Switch to the "prg" position.
2. Type [44444]
3. Enter either [0] or [1]:
[0] disables the Clerk System;
[1] activates the Clerk System.
4. Press the [amt tend/TOTAL] key to finish.
Assign Clerk # and Security Code Entry:
1. If needed, enter the program mode: Move the Control Switch to the "prg" position.
2. Type [11]
3. Enter either [0] or [1]:
[0] Clerk # only;
[1] Clerk # and 3-digit security code.
4. Press the [RA] key to finish.
NOTE: if you set the register to require security codes to be entered after the Clerk #, then you MUST program or set a security
code for all Clerk #’s used. Otherwise, clerk numbers without security codes assigned to them will not be accepted and will
result in an error when entered.
To Assign a Security Code to Clerk #:
1. If needed, enter the program mode: Move the Control Switch to the "prg" position.
2. Type [444444]
3. Press the [amt tend/TOTAL] key
4. Enter the Clerk #: [1], [2], [3], [4], etc.
5. Enter the security code: any 3-digit number between 000 and 999, examples: 123, 222, 212, etc.
6. Press the [clerk] key
7. Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6 for each Clerk # you want to have a security code.
8. Press the [C] key to finish.
To re-program a clerk number with a new security code, just repeat the instructions above using the new security code in step
#5.
To reset a clerk # with no security code, complete steps 1 through 8 skipping step # 5 (do NOT enter anything for the security
code). This will erase the security code assigned to that clerk #. However, please remember, that if the cash register is still set
to require security codes, then any clerk # without a security code cannot be used.
Using the Clerk Feature
Before entering a transaction, press the single-digit number on the numeric keypad followed by the [clerk] key to record
transactions under that Clerk number. If a security code is required with the Clerk number, enter the clerk number and the 3-
digit security code and then press the [clerk] key.
A Clerk number is only required when the register is first set to the R1 or R2 modes after being “off”. After that, the register will
not ask for a clerk # at the beginning of every transaction. However, a new clerk # and security code, if programmed, can be
entered optionally at the beginning of any transaction; and the register will record that transaction and all future transactions
(until the clerk number is changed again) under that clerk number.
