Thefollowing aretheprocedures ofFDK Formatting ofFDKs forsaving, Program DataSave/Load operationsas
to the MA-1650 terminal. Use FDKs of 2DD or 2HD type.
• FDK Formatting
Beforeanydata may besavedto floppy diskettesbythePL-3 unit,thediskettesmust be formatted. Sincethe
save format is in MS-DOS, these diskettes may be formatted on the PC, or they may be formatted on the PL-
3 through the following steps:
(1) Connect the PL-3 to a power source. This may be either from the AC adapter, or from an ECR through
the bus direct cable. Remember, that if connecting to an ECR by the bus direct cable, never connect or
disconnect the cable to/from the ECR until the ECR power has been turned off for at least 15 seconds.
(2) Insert the floppy disk to be formatted into the PL-3 FDD.
(3) Set the PL-3 digital switch Main No. to 9, and the Sub No. to one of the following:
0to format for 640 KB
1to format for 720 KB
2to format for 1.44 MB (2HD diskette only)
3to format for 1.2 MB (2HD diskette only)
(4) Press the SAVE switch. The format will begin as indicated by the SAVE LED being illuminated. When
the SAVE LED goes out, and the display shows “00,” the format operation is completed successfully.
(5) Remove the formatted diskette. Additional diskettes may be formatted in the same way.
(6) Disconnectthe PL-3fromthe power source. Ifconnectedto anECRthrough the busdirectcable, make
sure the ECR power has been off at least 15 seconds before disconnecting the bus direct cable.

DATA CLEAR
If only the sales data must be cleared, the Data Clear should be operated. When a Data Clear is operated, all
the sales data including the non-resettable totals and counters will be cleared but the programmed data will not.
To operate, follow Steps 1 through 5 for the RAM CLEAR above, except that:

RAM CLEAR
If the register becomes completely inoperative due to battery discharge or malfunction of program memory, the
RAM clear operation must be carried out following the procedure listed below. When a RAM clear is operated,
all the memory content that has been stored in the RAM will be cleared (i.e. the programmed data and the sales
data will be cleared). A RAM Clear is also necessary to determine the type of the ECR keyboard.
1. Turn the Power Switch to OFF.
2. Turn the Mode Lock to the “BLIND” position.
3. Hold down the numeric keys listed below according to the zero-suppress form and the type of keyboard
installed. The numeric key pressing must be held till Step 5 is completed.
NOTE: TheonlydifferenceintheresultbetweentheDATACLEARandaRAMCLEARisthatonlythesales
data are cleared by the DATA CLEAR while the programmed data are cleared as well by a RAM
CLEAR.

STATUS CLEAR
The Status Clear operation will only clear an error or key-lock condition that disables normal operations. Thus
the sales data and programmed data will not be cleared (except when a Status Clear is used to clear a key-lock
during a sale, the sale item data already entered in the sale will be cleared).
The Status Clear can also be used to obtain an “after sales data reset” condition. This condition is required for
some programming operations and is usually obtained by following the directions (or using a Data Clear or RAM
Clear). However,whenyouvisityourcustomerandmustaddorchangesomeprogrammingdatawherean“after
sales data reset” condition is required, the customer may not want the sales data to be reset. In such cases, the
StatusClear can be used becauseit obtainsthe “afterall salesdata resets”condition but will not affectany sales
data. Please be careful in using this function; depending on the programming item, sales data resets may be
necessary instead of a Status Clear, to keep consistency between the programmed data and the sales data.
To execute a Status Clear, follow Steps 1 through 5 for the RAM CLEAR, except that:
In Step 3, hold down the numeric key [0] only until Step 5 is completed.
