INTRODUCTION
Thank you very much for your purchase of the SHARP Electronic Cash Register, Model XE-A201.
Please read this manual carefully before operating your machine in order to gain full understanding of
functions and features.
Please keep this manual for future reference. It will help you if you encounter any operational problems.
Never install the batteries into the cash register before initializing it. Before you start operating the cash
register, you must first initialize it, then install three new R6 or LR6 batteries (“AA” size) on the register.
Otherwise, distorted memory contents and malfunction of the cash register will occur. For this procedure,
please refer to page 7.
IMPORTANT
• Be very careful when removing and replacing the printer cover, as the cutter mounted on it is very
sharp.
• Install the cash register in a location not subject to direct sunlight, unusual temperature changes,
high humidity or splashing water.
Installation in such locations could cause damage to the cabinet and the electronic components.
• Never operate the register with wet hands.
The water could seep into the interior of the register and cause component failure.
• When cleaning your register, use a dry, soft cloth. Never use solvents, such as benzine and/or
thinner.
The use of such chemicals will lead to discoloration or deterioration of the cabinet.
• The register plugs into any standard wall outlet (official (nominal) voltage).
Other electrical devices on the same electrical circuit could cause the register to malfunction.
• For protection against data loss, please install three R6 or LR6 batteries (“AA” size) after initializing
the cash register. When handling the batteries, please observe the following:
Incorrectly using batteries can cause them to burst or leak, possibly damaging the interior of the cash
register.
• Be sure that the the positive (+) and negative (-) poles of each battery are facing in the proper
direction for installation.
• Never mix batteries of different types.
• Never mix old batteries and new ones.
• Never leave dead batteries in the battery compartment.
• Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the cash register for long periods.
• Should a battery leak, clean out the battery compartment immediately, taking care to avoid letting
the battery fluid come into direct contact with your skin.
• For battery disposal, follow the corresponding law in your country.
• For complete electrical disconnection, disconnect the main plug.
CAUTION!
For Easy Set-up, see

quantity is added.
2. PLU/subdepartment entries
For another merchandise classification, the cash register provides a maximum of 1200 PLUs/subdepartments.
PLUs are used to call up preset prices by a code entry. Subdepartments are used to classify merchandise into
smaller groups under the departments. Every PLU and subdepartment has a code from 1 to 1200, and should
belong to a department to obtain attributes of that department.
By default, the cash register is preprogrammed to be able to use 1 to 200 codes, and these 200 codes are set to
PLU mode and zero for unit price.
To extend the number of PLU codes to 1200, please refer to “EJ memory type” on page 40, and for other

Multiplication entries
When selling a large quantity of items, it is convenient to use the multiplication entry method. Enter quantity
using numeric keys and press the @key before starting item entry as shown in the example below.
When programmed to allow fractional quantity entries, you can enter up to four integers and three
digit decimal, though the quantity is counted as one for sales reports. To enter a fractional quantity,
use the decimal point key between integer and decimal, as 7P5 for entering 7.5.
Single item cash sale (SICS) entry
• This function is useful when a sale is for only one item and is for cash. This function is applicable only to those
departments that have been set for SICS or to their associated PLUs or subdepartments.
• The transaction is complete and the drawer opens as soon as you press the department key, dkey or
pkey.
If an entry to a department or PLU/subdepartment set for SICS follows the ones to departments or
PLUs/subdepartments not set for SICS, it does not finalize and results in a normal sale.
