INTRODUCTION
Thank you very much for your purchase of the SHARP Electronic Cash Register, Model XE-A213.
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 alkaline batteries LR6 (“AA” size) on the register.
Otherwise, distorted memory contents and malfunction of the cash register will occur. For this procedure,
please refer to pages 9 to 10.
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 alkaline batteries LR6 (“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.
• RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE.
DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.
• Be sure that 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!

Three new alkaline batteries LR6 (“AA”size) must be installed in the cash register to prevent the data and
user-programmed settings from being erased from the memory, when the AC cord is accidentally disconnected
or in case of power failure. Once installed, the batteries will last approximately one year before needing
replacement. At this time, the warning message “LOW BATTERY” will appear on the display to indicate the
batteries are low and must be replaced within two days. If the warning message “NO BATTERY” appears, you
must install the batteries at once. Do not set the mode switch to the , nor PGM positions while "NO
BATTERY" is being displayed.
Install three new alkaline batteries LR6 (“AA”size) according to the procedure shown below with the AC cord
connected and set the mode switch to the REG position:
1. Push the printer cover forward and detach it.
Be careful with the paper cutter, so as not to cut yourself.
2. Open the battery compartment cover next to the paper roll cradle.

BASIC FUNCTION PROGRAMMING
Before starting sales entries, you must first program necessary items so the cash register suits your sales
needs. In this manual, there are three sections, BASIC FUNCTION PROGRAMMING (pages 13-26) where
required items must be programmed, AUXILIARY FUNCTION PROGRAMMING (pages 52-63) where you
can program for more convenient use of keys on the keyboard, and ADVANCED FUNCTION PROGRAMMING
(pages 64-78) where various optional programming features are provided. Find the appropriate features for your
needs, and make the necessary programming.
Dept.: Department; a category for merchandise classifications. Every sales item should belong to a
department.
PLU: Price Look Up; a category for merchandise classifications. PLUs are used to call up preset prices by a
code entry.
VAT: Value Added Tax
X report: Report to read sales data
Z report: Report to read and reset sales data
Procedure for programming
1. Check to see whether a paper roll is present in the machine. If there is not enough paper on a roll, replace it
with a new one (refer to "Replacing the Paper Roll" on page 89 for the replacement).
2. Put the manager key in the mode switch and turn it to the PGM position.
3. Program necessary items into the cash register.

If you program the VAT/tax, the cash register can calculate the sales tax. In the VAT system, the tax is included
in the price you enter in the register, and the tax amount is calculated when tendered according to the VAT rate
programmed. In the tax system, the tax is calculated when tendered according to the tax rate programmed, and
added to the price. The cash register can provide totally 6 kinds of VAT/tax systems (automatic VAT1-4,
automatic tax 1-4, manual VAT 1-4, manual VAT 1, manual tax 1-4, and automatic VAT1 and automatic tax 2-4
systems) and 4 kinds of rates. By default, the cash register is pre-programmed as automatic VAT1-4 system.
When you program tax rate(s) and taxable status for each department (by default, VAT1/tax1 is set to taxable.),
tax will be automatically added to sales of items assigned to the department according to the programmed tax
status for the department and the corresponding tax rate(s).
For details of the tax systems, refer to “Computation of VAT (Value Added Tax)/tax” section on page 41. To
change the tax system, please refer to “Other programming” of “Various Function Selection Programming 1”
section (Job code 69) on page 71.
