XE-A212 Frequently Asked Questions Page 2 of 21
How do I prepare my XEA212 for set-up?
Take the XEA212 out of its box, remove the packing materials. Place the XEA212 on
a flat stable surface, close to a power outlet. Also insure it will not be exposed to
direct sunlight, and is away from water (taps, sinks, etc).
How do I clear the XEA212 to ready it for programming?
It is very important that you “initialise” the XEA212 correctly once you have
removed it from the box, and are ready to start programming. If you do not
“initialise” the XEA212, it might not work correctly.
1. Insert the MA key into the mode switch and turn it to the REG position.
2. Insert the plug of the power cord into a power outlet.
This must be done without the batteries installed. If you have installed
batteries; be sure to remove them before you start this procedure.
After about 10 seconds the buzzer will then sound three times. If the buzzer
does not sound three times, please try again.
The cash register has now been “initialised”. If there were any data from a previous
programming attempt they would have been cleared. The display should now show:
NO BATTERY.
XE-A212 Frequently Asked Questions Page 3 of 21
How to install the batteries, and why should I do so?
The XEA212 uses 3 x AA size batteries to hold its preset, and sales data in memory
when it is switched off. If you do not install 3 x AA size batteries; the XEA212 will
be cleared of all preset, and sales data when it is turned off.
1. Lift the printer cover up and forward, and detach it. Be careful of the paper
cutter to avoid cutting yourself.
2. Open the battery compartment cover next to the paper roll cradle.
3. Install 3 alkaline AA size batteries. When the batteries are properly installed
the “No Battery” message on the display will disappear.
4. Close the battery compartment cover.
A set of new alkaline batteries once installed will keep the memory for up to one year
without power. Please see the question on how to replace the batteries for details on
when and how to replace the batteries. If the unit is not used for some months, you
might not get any warning when you turn the XEA212 on that the batteries have
failed. In this instance the XEA212 will initialise itself.

What sort of paper roll do I use, and how do I install it?

maximum diameter should be no more than 80mm.

2. Lift up the green print roller release lever to unlock and open the print roller
arm.

4. Feed the end of the paper along with the paper position guides as shown in the
diagram below.
5. While holding down the paper, slowly close the print roller arm, and push
down the arm until you hear a click. This means the arm is locked back in
place. The paper will feed automatically
6. Cut off the excess paper using the edge of the inner cover, and replace the
external printer cover. Press the key to make sure the paper end comes out
of the printer cover and clean paper appears.
If the paper end does not come out. Open the printer cover, and pass the paper
end between the paper cutter and the paper guide of the printer cover, and
replace the cover.
7. If you intend to use the print out as a journal: Insert the paper end into the slot
in the spool. Press the key to feed more paper if required.
Wind the paper two or three turns around the spool shaft. Set the spool on the
bearing and press the key to take up any slack in the paper. Replace the
printer cover.
