INTRODUCTION
Thank you very much for your purchase of the SHARP Electronic Cash Register, Model XE-A403.
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.
Be sure to initialize the cash register before you start operating the cash register. Otherwise, distorted
memory contents and malfunction of the cash register will occur. For this procedure, please refer to page 7.
IMPORTANT
• On the printer, a paper cutter is mounted. Be careful not to cut yourself on the paper cutter.
• Install your register in a location that is not subject to direct radiation, unusual temperature changes,
high humidity or exposed to water sources.
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 (120V AC ±10%).
Other electrical devices on the same electrical circuit could cause the register to malfunction.
• If the register malfunctions, call 1-800-BE-SHARP for service - do not try to repair the register
yourself.
•For complete electrical disconnection, disconnect the main plug.
PRECAUTION
This Electronic Cash Register has a built-in memory protection circuit which is operated by rechargeable
batteries.
As you know, all batteries will, in time, dissipate their charge even if not used. Therefore to insure an
adequate initial charge in the protection circuit, and to prevent any possible loss of memory upon installation, it
is recommended that each unit be allowed to recharge for a period of 24 to 48 hours prior to use.
In order to charge the batteries, the machine must be plugged in and the mode switch must be in a position
other than “OFF”. This recharging precaution can prevent unnecessary initial service calls.
CAUTION!

Single item entries
Department entries
For a merchandise classification, the cash register provides a maximum of 99 departments. To the
departments, group attributes such as taxable status are applied to items when they are entered.
• When using the department keys (for department 1 to 40)
For department 1 to 20, enter a unit price and press a department key. If you use a programmed unit price,
press a department key only.
For department 21 to 40, enter a unit price, press the Dkey and press a department key. If you use a
programmed unit price, press the Dkey and press a department key.
*1Less than the programmed upper limit amounts
When zero is entered, only the sales quantity is
added.
*2 For the departments 21 through 40, press the
department shift key.
Please note if you press the same key after using the Dkey, it acts as a repeat entry. For
example, when you register an item of dept. 21 using the Dkey and then an item of dept. 1
using the preset unit price, you should use the department code entry key described below for the
dept. 1 item. If you just press the ¡key to register dept. 1 item, it will act as a repeat entry of
dept. 21 item.
• When using the department code entry key
Enter a department (dept.) code and press the dkey, then enter a unit price and press the dkey again. If
the dept. code is programmed to preset price entry style and a unit price is preset, the cash register will finish
its registration operation.
*1Less than the programmed upper limit
amounts
When zero is entered, only the sales
quantity is added.
PLU/subdepartment entries
For another merchandise classification, the cash register provides a maximum of 1800 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 1800, and should
belong to a department to obtain attributes of that department.
The cash register is pre-programmed to PLU mode and zero for unit price. To use PLU entries, their preset unit
prices should be previously programmed. (Refer to page 34.)
To use subdepartment entries, change to subdepartment mode for the PLU codes.

You can use this function for entering a sale of two or more of the same items. Consecutive pressing of a
department key, dkey or pkey is as shown on key operation example below.
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 on the following
page.
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,

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.
