INTRODUCTION
Thank you very much for your purchase of the SHARP Electronic Cash Register, Model XE-A212.
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 9.
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

While the cash register is pre-programmed so it can be used with minimal setup, it does provide you
with optional functions. Especially to use direct PLU keys effectively, you should program for
PLU/subdepartments. Before you start programming, please read through the sales operations section to
understand optional functions.
Decimal point position (tab) setting for domestic currency
By default, “2” is selected. When your country has a different tab setting, you must change the setting. Please
refer to "Other programming" of “Various Function Selection Programming 1” (Job code 61) on page 51.
Rounding system
When your country has a special rounding system, such as Australia, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark
and South Africa, you must change the setting to suit your country. For the setting for Australia, Switzerland,
Norway and South Africa, please refer to “Other programming” of “Various Function Selection Programming 1”
(Job code 67) on page 53. For the setting for Sweden and Denmark, please refer to “Other programming” of
“Various Function Selection Programming 1” (Job code 69) on page 55.
VAT/tax
The cash register provides 6 kinds of VAT/tax. Select an appropriate VAT/tax system first, then set tax rates (up
to 4 rates) and assign taxable status to departments. By default, VAT 1 is assigned for all departments.
Department programming:
The cash register is pre-programmed for departments as follows:
Department: Allow open price entry in normal department, taxable status- taxable 1 for all departments.
PLU/subdepartment programming:
The cash register is preprogrammed for PLUs/subdepartments as follows:
PLU/subdepartment selection: PLU is selected for all PLU codes so that you only have to program unit prices
and associated departments for them (by default, unit price is set to 0 and associated department is set to
department 1). Function parameters including tax status depend on the status of associated department.
• For direct PLU keys, PLU codes 1 through 70 are assigned for PLU 1 through 70 keys respectively. In case
you use the PLU level shift keys, you can add number of direct PLU keys. For the function details, please refer
to “PLU level shift (for direct PLU key)” on page 17 and for the programming details, please refer to "Direct PLU
key programming" on page 37.

Single item entries
1. Department entries
The cash register provides a maximum of 50 departments for a merchandise classification. Group attributes,
such as taxable status, are applied to items when they are entered to the departments.

For department 1 to 6, enter a unit price and press a department key. If you use a programmed unit price,
press a department key only.

When zero is entered, only the sales quantity is added.
• When using the department code entry key

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 pressing direct PLU keys or entering PLU codes with a press of the
pkey. 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 210 codes, and these 210 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 57, and for other
PLU/subdepartment programming, refer to “PLU and Subdepartment Programming” on page 37.

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, the
direct PLU key 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.
PLU level shift (for direct PLU key)
This shift can double or triple the number of direct PLU keys on your register without adding additional direct
PLU keys. You can use direct PLU keys in three levels by utilizing shift keys Ò, Ú, and Æ. These keys have
the following functions.
Ò: Shifts the PLU level from level 2 or 3 to level 1 (ordinary level).
Ú: Shifts the PLU level from level 1 or 3 to level 2.
Æ: Shifts the PLU level from level 1 or 2 to level 3.
You can select one of the two PLU level shift modes — automatic return mode* and lock shift mode** — and
decide whether to allow PLU level shift in both the REG and MGR modes or in the MGR mode alone.
* The automatic return mode automatically shifts the PLU level back to level 1. You can select whether the
PLU level should return to level 1 each time you enter one item or each time you finalize one transaction.
** The lock shift mode holds the current PLU level until pressing of a PLU level shift key.
