Precaution Statements  
Follow these safety, servicing and ESD precautions to prevent damage and to protect against potential hazards such as  
electrical shock.  
1-1 Safety Precautions  
1. Be sure that all built-in protective devices are  
replaced. Restore any missing protective shields.  
6. Observe the original lead dress, especially near the  
following areas: sharp edges, and especially the AC  
and high voltage supplies. Always inspect for  
pinched, out-of-place, or frayed wiring. Do not  
change the spacing between components and the  
printed circuit board. Check the AC power cord for  
damage. Make sure that leads and components do  
not touch thermally hot parts.  
2. When reinstalling the chassis and its assemblies, be  
sure to restore all protective devices, including  
nonmetallic control knobs and compartment covers.  
3. Make sure there are no cabinet openings through  
which people - particularly children - might insert  
fingers and contact dangerous voltages.  
Such openings include excessively wide cabinet  
ventilation slots and improperly fitted covers and  
drawers.  
7. Product Safety Notice:  
Some electrical and mechanical parts have special  
safety-related characteristics that might not be  
obvious from visual inspection. These safety  
features and the protection they give might be lost if  
the replacement component differs from the  
original - even if the replacement is rated for higher  
voltage, wattage, etc.  
4. Design Alteration Warning:  
Never alter or add to the mechanical or electrical  
design of the SECR. Unauthorized alterations might  
create a safety hazard. Also, any design changes or  
additions will void the manufacturer’s warranty.  
Components that are critical for safety are indicated  
in the circuit diagram by shading, ( ) or ( ).  
Use replacement components that have the same  
ratings, especially for flame resistance and  
dielectric strength specifications. A replacement  
part that does not have the same safety  
5. Components, parts and wiring that appear to have  
overheated or that are otherwise damaged should be  
replaced with parts that meet the original  
specifications. Always determine the cause of  
damage or over- heating, and correct any potential  
hazards.  
characteristics as the original might create shock,  
fire or other hazards.  
CAUTION  
ATTENTION  
ll y a danger d’explosion s’il y a remplacement  
incorrect de la batterie.  
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.  
Replace only with the same or equivalent type recomm-  
ended by the manufacturer.  
Remplacer uniquement avec une batterie du même type  
ou d’un type équivalent recommandé par le constructeur.  
Dispose used batteries according to the manufacturer’s  
instructions.  
Mettre au rebut les batteries usagées conformément aux  
instructions du fabricant.  
1-2 Servicing Precautions  
WARNING: First read the-Safety Precautions-section of this manual. If some unforeseen circumstance creates a conflict  
between the servicing and safety precautions, always follow the safety precautions.

reinstalled. Make sure that the portion around the  
serviced part has not been damaged.  
1-3 Precautions for Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESDs)  
1. Some semiconductor (solid state) devices are easily  
damaged by static electricity. Such components are  
called Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESDs);  
examples include: integrated circuits and some field-  
effect transistors. The following techniques will  
reduce the occurrence of component damage caused  
by static electricity.  
6. Use only an anti-static solder removal device. Many  
solder removal devices are not rated as anti-static;  
these can accumulate sufficient electrical charge to  
damage ESDs.  
7. Do not remove a replacement ESD from its  
protective package until you are ready to install it.  
Most replacement ESDs are packaged with leads  
that are electrically shorted together by conductive  
foam, aluminum foil or other conductive materials.  
2. Immediately before handling any semiconductor  
components or assemblies, drain the electrostatic  
charge from your body by touching a known earth  
ground. Alternatively, wear a discharging wrist-  
strap device. (Be sure to remove it prior to applying  
power - this is an electric shock precaution.)  
8. Immediately before removing the protective  
material from the leads of a replacement ESD,  
touch the protective material to the chassis or  
circuit assembly into which the device will be  
installed.  
3. After removing an ESD-equipped assembly, place it  
on a conductive surface such as aluminum foil to  
prevent accumulation of electrostatic charge.  
9. Minimize body motions when handling unpackaged  
replacement ESDs. Motions such as brushing  
clothes together, or lifting a foot from a carpeted  
floor can generate enough static electricity to  
damage an ESD.  
4. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can  
generate electrical charges that damage ESDs.  
5. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron when  
soldering or unsoldering ESDs.

A majority of printer failures are due to paper jams, which can easily be remedied by removing  
both the receipt and journal tapes and clearing obstruction from the print head. Worn out and  
frayed printer ribbons may also jam printers. It is suggested that printer ribbons be changed  
as soon as print becomes faint in order to prevent frayed ribbons from causing printer failures.

Two-Line Print Conditions  
The ERP-400 printer allows single line numeric fields of up to nine digits, along with programmable  
PLU descriptors of up to twelve characters. For this reason, provisions have been made for printing  
sales where the combination of descriptor and amount is greater than 21 characters.  
PLU descriptors are separated from amounts by at least one blank space. If the descriptor used is a  
full twelve characters, and more than one tax rate is applied, all PLU entries may require two lines,  
with the amount on the second line.

Changing the Printer Ribbon Cartridge  
The ER-5115 receipt/journal printer uses a replaceable ink ribbon cartridge. Once print becomes  
faint, a new ink ribbon must be installed. To replace the ink ribbon, follow these steps:  
1. Remove the printer cover and locate the ink ribbon cartridge as shown in the  
illustration.  
2. Apply downward pressure to the cartridge while pulling it towards you using the  
serrated area on the left edge and the raised tab near the knob on the right. Lift to  
remove.  
3. Insert the new ink ribbon cartridge and press firmly into place. Remove any slack in the  
ribbon by rotating he cartridge knob counter-clockwise.  
Note: Ribbon must be in place when changing paper.

Introduction  
SAM4s ER-5115 Electronic Cash Register  
Operations  
Overview  
The operations section of this manual gives basic information about the functions performed by the  
register. Each of the function keys is explained, giving a general description of their operation.  
Example operations are given for each function key showing correct keystrokes and the resulting  
print on the receipt. Since all machines differ in actual programming, the operation of some keys may  
require a management key, while other optional keys may not exist on your keyboard.  
If you have questions concerning your keyboard set-up, please contact your authorized SAM4s dealer.  
Function Key Descriptions  
Keys are listed in alphabetical order. Some of the keys described below are not included on the  
default keyboard. See "Function Key Assignment Programming" on page 91 to add or change  
programmable keys.

Clerk Sign-On/Sign-Off  
See "System Option Programming" on page 108, to review your clerk options:  
The ER-5115 can be set to function with a cashier or clerk reporting system. System  
option #7 allows you to select media reporting, thus allowing cashier accountability.  
System option #15 allows you to select direct or code entry sign on and/or stay-down or  
pop-up operation.  
Depending on how your machine has been programmed, sign-on will take place only at the beginning  
of a shift (stay-down), or may have to be repeated for each transaction (pop-up). If your machine has  
been programmed for stay-down clerks, the clerk currently signed on must be signed off before  
another clerk may be signed on.  
Check with your store manager to see which options have been selected for your register.  
Before any transaction may take place, a clerk must be signed on. Clerk sign-on is accomplished in  
one of two ways:

PLU Registrations  
All registrations on the SAM4s ER-5115 are made into open or preset PLUs.  
In place of traditional department keys, some PLUs are located directly on the  
keyboard.  
When more items or categories are needed than the number of PLUs available on the  
keyboard, registrations can be into PLUs by entering the PLU code number and  
pressing the PLU key on the keyboard.  
This system simplifies reporting by listing all items (regardless of how they are entered) on the PLU  
report, while reporting for groups of items or categories is available from the Group report.  
Keyboard PLU Entries  
As you make PLU registrations, you can follow your entries by viewing the display. The digits  
marked PLU indicate the PLU number being used. The digit marked RPT counts items as they are  
repeated or multiplied.  
In the following examples:  
PLU 1 is programmed for open entries, and is taxable by Tax 1.  
PLU 2 is programmed for open entries, and is taxable by Tax 2.  
PLU 3 is programmed with a preset price of $3.00, and is taxable by Tax 1 and Tax 2.  
PLU 4 is programmed with a preset price of $4.00, and is non-taxable.  
PLU 1 level 2 (PLU 118) is programmed with a preset price of $1.25, and is taxable by  
Tax 1.  
Tax 1 is programmed at 5%; Tax 2 is programmed at 10%.

Keyboard PLU Level Entries  
Three keyboard levels are provided on the SAM4s ER-5115 Depending upon how your cash register  
is set up, (see "System Option Programming" on page 108) levels can be operated as stay-down, pop-  
up, or ticket pop-up.  
Stay-down levels allow you to shift the level of the entire keyboard simultaneously. For  
example, a restaurant may have breakfast, lunch and dinner menus. You can shift  
menus by shifting the level of the keyboard and changing the key legend sheet over the  
keyboard.  
Pop-up levels allow you to momentarily shift the level of the keyboard for the next item.  
For example, soft drinks may be sold in three sizes. With the level keys labeled as  
sizes, you can register soft drinks by pressing LEVEL 1 for small, LEVEL 2 for  
medium or LEVEL 3 for large, then pressing the PLU representing the appropriate type  
of soft drink.  
Ticket pop-up levels allow you to shift the level of the keyboard for the next  
registration. For example, pizzas may be sold with multiple toppings, with the price of  
additional toppings depending on the size of the pizza. By first selecting a level  
representing the size of the pizza, the operator can then press any number of PLU keys  
representing toppings, with the appropriate topping price category locked in.

Percentage Key (%) Registrations  
There are two percentage keys, %1 and %2, on the default keyboard. Through "Function Key  
Assignment Programming" (see page 91) up to five percentage keys may be placed on the keyboard.  
Each key is individually programmable to add or subtract, from an individual item or from a sale  
total, amounts (coupons) or percentages. You can also program the percentage key taxable or non-  
taxable, so that sales taxes are calculated on the net, or gross amount of the item or sale.  
The operation examples in this section show the percentage key in a variety of configurations. See  
"Function Key Programming" on page 109 to assign a specific function to each percentage key.

VOID Control Lock Position (Transaction Void)  
Most operations, which can be performed with the control lock in the REG position, can also be done  
with the control lock in the VOID position. The exceptions are Merchandise Returns, Error correct,  
and previous item voids within a sale. VOID position operations will adjust all sale totals, and the  
VOID (Transaction Void) position carries its own total on the Financial report.

Eat-In/Take-Out/Drive Thru Operations  
In a restaurant, EAT-IN, TAKE-OUT and DRIVE THRU keys can be set up to provide totals for  
each type of sale. The EAT-IN, TAKE-OUT and DRIVE THRU keys may also be set up to  
remove taxes. For example, if your state charges sales tax for food consumed on the premises, while  
not charging sales tax for food taken home, sales tax can be exempted with the TAKE-OUT key.  
See "Eat-In - Function Key Programs" on page 127, "Take Out - Function Key Programs" on page  
138, or "Drive Thru - Function Key Programs" on page 126 to set up tax status for these keys.  
After registering all items, press EAT-IN, TAKE-OUT or DRIVE THRU (as you would use the  
Subtotal key), then finalize the sale as you normally would.

Receipt on Request  
If a customer requests a receipt after a sale has been finalized, a second depression of the CASH key  
will issue a complete buffered receipt.  
If more than 200 entries are made in the sale, the register will issue a stub receipt only, showing the  
total net sale, correct tax totals and payment tendered.  
Validation  
Validations can be performed after PLU entries, received on account and paid out operations, % key  
entries, merchandise returns, voids, and tendering operations by pressing the VALID key.  
If an operation is programmed with validation compulsory, the cash drawer will not open until the  
compulsion is satisfied. The SP message will appear on the display, and the indicator light behind  
VALID will come on once the form is properly inserted in the receipt/journal printer. The error tone  
will sound if any other operations are attempted before validation is completed.

Training Mode  
A training mode is available so that you can operate the cash register without updating totals and  
counters. Note the following conditions:  
The receipt and journal print the message "TRAINING MODE BEGIN" when training  
mode is activated.  
The receipt and journal print the message "TRAINING MODE END" when training  
mode is exited.  
The message "TRAINING MODE" prints on each receipt printed while training mode  
is active.  
The journal does not print during training mode.  
The total and counter on the financial report labeled "TRAIN TTL" is updated with the  
net amount of each training transaction.  
To Enter Training Mode  
Set system option #32 to a value of 1. See "System Option Programming" on page 108.  
To Exit Training Mode  
Set system option #32 to a value of 0. See "System Option Programming" on page 108.

Non-Add Number  
With the #/NS key, you can enter a memo number at any time and print the number on the receipt,  
journal, or validation. The non-adding number is not added to the sale, nor is it added to any register  
total, except the # key total itself. You can enter a number up of up to 8 digits. For example:  
Enter a number prior to a PLU entry to print a record of the item's SKU number.  
Enter a number prior to a Check tender to print a record of the check number.  
Enter a number prior to a Charge to print a record of the charge account number.

Currency Conversion  
If you normally accept currency from a neighboring nation, you can program the SAM4s ER-5115 to  
convert the subtotal of a sale to the equivalent cost in the foreign currency. Two foreign currency  
conversion keys are available. See "Function Key Assignment Programming" on page 91 to place  
currency conversion keys on the keyboard. You also need to program the conversion factor. For  
example, if the US dollar (home currency) is worth 1.3720 Canadian dollars (foreign currency), the  
conversion factor is 1.3720. See "Currency Conversion - Function Key Programs" on page 125 to set  
a conversion rate.  
Note: The change due is computed in home currency!

Food Stamp Operations  
The SAM4s ER-5115 can be set up to sort food stamp eligible merchandise and accept food stamp  
payments. See "Function Key Assignment Programming" on page 91 to place the necessary function  
keys (F/S SHIFT, F/S SUB, F/S TEND) on the keyboard. You will also need to set food stamp  
eligibility status for each open or preset PLU (see "Program 100 - PLU Status Programming" on page  
99.)  
If necessary, you can use the F/S SHIFT key to shift the pre-programmed eligibility  
status for any item as it is entered. For example, while produce is normally food stamp  
eligible, certain produce department items, such as birdseed, cannot be paid for with  
food stamps. In this case, program the produce PLU as food stamp eligible, then press  
F/S SHIFT before registering a non-eligible produce item.  
If a customer chooses to pay with food stamps, press the F/S SUB key to display a total  
of food stamp eligible merchandise.  
Tender food stamp payments into the F/S TEND key. Change less than $1 is given in  
cash, or applied to non-food stamp eligible items. After finalization, food stamp change  
in whole dollars is displayed on the left portion of the display, while cash change is  
displayed on the right portion of the display.

Management Functions  
Introduction  
All Management Functions take place with the control lock in the X position. In this way only those  
with the correct key will have access to these functions. Some register operations may be  
programmed to require the control lock in the X position in order to operate. All reports require a  
key that will access the X or Z position.  
In this chapter you will find:  
"Manager Authorization Of Restricted Operations" on page 63  
"Changing the Default PLU Level" on page 64  
"Cash Declaration" on page 64  
"System Reports" on page 66  
Manager Authorization Of Restricted Operations  
If pressing a function key causes an error condition when used properly, the function may require the  
control lock in the X (or Management) position. See "Function Key Programming" on page 109 for  
setting these conditions.  
Function keys, which may be programmed to require the control lock in the X position, are:

Changing the Default PLU Level  
The default level is the top, or surface level returned to after each PLU entry when options are set for  
pop-up levels. For example, if levels are set to pop-up and default level is set to 2, after registering  
an item in level 1 or level 3, subsequent registrations will automatically return to level 2.  
To set default PLU level:  
1. Turn the control lock to the X, or P key position  
2. Press the desired level key twice to set that level as default.

Cash Declaration  
If compulsory cash declaration is required, (see option #1, "System Option Programming" on page  
108) you must declare the count of the cash drawer prior to taking X or Z financial and clerk reports.  
You can enter the cash drawer total in one step, or to facilitate the counting of the cash drawer, you  
can enter each type of bill/coin and checks separately and let the register act as an adding machine.  
You can also use the X/TIME key to multiply the denomination of currency times your count.  
Either way you choose to enter cash, the register will compare your declaration with the expected  
cash and check in drawer totals and print the over or short amounts on the report.  
For example:  
1. Turn the control lock to the X or Z position  
(depending upon the type of report you are taking.)  
2. Press the CASH key.

System Reports  
System reports are divided into two basic categories:  
X reports, which read totals without resetting  
Z reports, which read totals and reset them to zero  
Most reports are available in both categories. Some reports, such as the Cash-in-Drawer report and  
the From-To PLU report are available only as X reports.  
Some reports also provide identical but separate period to date reports. These reports maintain a  
separate set of totals which may be allowed to accumulate over a period of days, weeks, months, or  
even years. X2 reports read period to date totals without resetting, and Z2 reports read period to date  
totals and reset them to zero. Period to date totals are updated each time a Z1 report is completed.  
A complete list of available reports is presented in a chart on the following page.  
An example is given for each of these reports in the pages that follow. Those reports, which may be

Programming  
Overview  
In this chapter you will find:  
"Function Key Assignment Programming" on page 91, where you can assign new  
functions in programmable locations or make other changes to the default keyboard.  
"Tax Programming" on page 93, where you can set tax rates or tables for any of the four  
taxes the ER-5115 can automatically calculate and add to the sale.  
"PLU Programming" on page 97, where you can program descriptors and options, i.e.  
tax status for each keyboard PLU or traditional PLU.  
"System Option Programming" on page 108, where you can set a variety of options that  
affect the features of the ER-5115.  
"Function Key Programming" on page 109, where you can program descriptors and  
other options related to function keys.  
"Clerk Programming" on page 145 where you can program descriptors and other  
options for clerks or cashiers.  
"Miscellaneous Programming" on page 149, where you can program a variety of other  
features, such as receipt messages, date/time, PLU group descriptors, and PLU level  
operation.  
"Program Scans" on page 159 where you can print out program information.  
S-mode, or service mode programming information is provided separately. S-mode programs allow  
you to change the keyboard PLU assignment or set keyboard PLU configurations for the ER-5115.

Programming  
89  
Default Program  
The SAM4s ER-5115 arrives with a default or generic program already installed. Program options  
are set to 0 (Zero), unless otherwise noted, which means the machine can be operated immediately  
after a RAM clear procedure is performed.  
For example:  
All keyboard PLUs are nontaxable and open, without entry limits by default status  
programming of "00000000".  
All system options are set to 0 in default programming, unless otherwise noted. Change  
only the options that will deviate from default programming. There is no need to re-  
enter an option status of 0, since 0 is its original setting.  
All programming (unless otherwise noted) is done with the control lock in the P  
position. Each section details a specific area of register programming.

SAM4s ER-5115 Electronic Cash Register  
Function Key Assignment Programming  
Function keys may be relocated, inactivated or changed with this program. For example, you may  
wish to place functions, such as PREVIOUS BALANCE and SERVICE, which are not placed on  
the default keyboard. Or perhaps, you may wish to remove a function, such as CANCEL, for  
security reasons.  
Please note the following limitations:  
If you assign a duplicate of a function code, the duplicate will function exactly as the  
original - you will not get separate totals and counters on reports for the duplicated key.  
You can reassign keys only in locations that are programmable. See "Keyboard" on  
page 20, where the key locations that may be programmed are identified.  
To Assign a Function Key to a Location:  
1. Turn the control lock to the S position.  
2. Enter 20, press the SBTL key.

Tax Programming  
The SAM4s ER-5115 has the capability to support four separate taxes.  
Taxes can be calculated as either a straight percentage rate of between .001% and 99.999%, or a 60  
break point tax table. Each tax may be either an add-on tax (added to the cost of a taxable item), or a  
value added tax (VAT) that is included in the price of the item.  
Tax rate 4 may be set to function as the Canadian Goods & Services Tax (GST). If Tax 4 is  
designated as GST, table programming for the rate is not allowed.  
Definitions for tax rates 1, 2, 3 & 4 are made as part of tax programming.  
If you are entering a tax rate (add-on or VAT), see "Straight Percentage Tax Rate  
Programming" on page 94 to enter the percentage rate.  
If you are entering a tax table, see “Tax Table Programming” on page 95 to enter the tax  
break points.  
If you are entering a Canadian Goods and Services Tax (GST), use tax rate 4 for the  
GST tax, and use tax rates 1, 2 and/or 3 for any other provincial tax or taxes. See  
"Straight Percentage Tax Rate Programming" on page 94 to enter the GST status and  
percentage rate.  
Important Note: After you have entered your tax program(s), test for accuracy by entering  
several transactions of different dollar amounts. Carefully check to make sure the tax charged  
by the cash register matches the tax on the printed tax chart for your area. As a merchant, you  
are responsible for accurate tax collection. If the cash register is not calculating tax accurately,  
contact your SAM4s dealer for assistance.

Straight Percentage Tax Rate Programming  
When tax requirements may be met using a straight percentage rate, use the following method to  
program a tax as a straight percentage.  
Programming Straight Percentage Tax Rates and Status  
1. Turn the control lock to the P position.  
2. If the tax is a percentage rate, with a decimal. (0.000-99.999). It is not necessary to  
enter preceding zeros. For example, for 6%, enter 06.000 or 6.000.  
3. For the type of tax:  
If the tax is a percentage added to the sale (normal add on tax), enter:  
0
2
If the tax is a percentage value added tax (VAT; calculated as part of the  
sale), enter:  
4. Enter 0 here for all taxes, unless if you are programming tax 4 as a Canadian GST. If  
tax 4 is a Canadian GST, enter the sum of the options below:

Tax Table Programming  
In some cases, a tax that is entered as a percentage does not follow exactly the tax charts that apply in  
your area (even if the tax chart is based on a percentage). In these cases, we recommend that you  
enter your tax using tax table programming. This method will match tax collection exactly to the  
break points of your tax table.  
Before programming, obtain a copy of the tax table you wish to program. You will need the printed  
tax table if you wish to determine the break point entries yourself.  
Note: You can enter up to 60 break points.  
Determining Break Point Entries  
1. Examine the printed tax table for the tax you are programming.  
2. Refer to the “Tax Table Programming Example - Illinois 6% Tax Table” on page 96 to  
help with this exercise.  
3. Calculate the break point differences by subtracting the high side of the previous range  
from the high side of the dollar range.  
4. Examine the pattern of break point differences to determine when the break points begin  
to repeat. Mark the beginning break points that do not fit a pattern as “non-repeat  
breaks.” Mark the break points that are repeating in a pattern as “repeat breaks.”  
Programming a Tax Table  
1. Turn the control lock to the P position.  
2. Enter 10, press the TAX SHIFT key for the tax you are programming, i.e. TAX SHIFT  
1, TAX SHIFT 2, TAX SHIFT 3 or TAX SHIFT 4.  
3. Enter the maximum amount that is not taxed, press the appropriate TAX SHIFT key.  
4. Enter the first tax amount charged, press the appropriate TAX SHIFT key.  
5. For each non-repeat break point, up to the last non-repeat break point, enter the high  
side from the sale dollar range and press the appropriate TAX SHIFT key.  
6. For the last non-repeat break point, enter the high side from the sale dollar range and  
press the X/TIME key.  
7. For each repeat break point, enter the high side from the sale dollar range and press the  
appropriate TAX SHIFT key.  
8. Press the CASH key to end the tax table program.

PLU Programming  
All PLUs, whether they are registered by pressing a PLU key on the keyboard, or by entering the  
PLU number and pressing the PLU key, have the same programming options. These options are set  
through separate programs:  
Program 100 - PLU Status Programming determines whether the PLU is open, preset or  
inactive. Also selected here are tax, food stamp, scale, negative, single item, hash,  
gallonage, compulsory number entry, compulsory validation, compulsory condiment  
and print options.  
Program 150 - PLU Group Assignment allows you to select up to two groups where  
each PLUs sales will accumulate.  
Program 200 - PLU Price/HALO Programming determines the PLU price if the PLU is  
preset, or the high amount lock out (HALO) if the PLU is open.  
Program 250 - PLU Stock Amount Programming allows you to add stock to the PLU  
sales counters for PLUs you have designated as stock keeping PLUs.  
Program 300 - PLU Descriptor Programming allows you to set a unique, up to 12-  
character, descriptor for each PLU.  
Program 400 - PLU Link Programming allows you to link a PLU to another PLU, so  
that registration of the first PLU will automatically trigger registration of the linked  
PLU.

PLU Number Assignment for Keyboard PLUs and PLU Levels  
PLUs have fixed numbers from 1 to 1000. In the standard configuration, keyboard PLUs access the  
following PLU numbers 1-15.  
If level keys are used:  
Level 1 accesses PLUs 1-15  
Level 2 accesses PLUs 16-30  
Level 3 accesses PLUs 31-45  
An optional numbering method is available for PLUs and Levels. (See your SAM4s dealer or the  
SAM4s ER-5115 S-Mode Programming instructions for set-up details.) You may wish to consider  
this option when you are using pop-up levels for sizes and you want different sizes of the same item  
to be listed together on the PLU report. With this option selected:  
PLU #1 accesses PLU 1 on level 1, PLU 2 on level 2, and PLU 3 on level 3  
PLU #2 accesses PLU 4 on level 1, PLU 5 on level 2, and PLU 6 on level 3  
PLU #3 accesses PLU 7 on level 1, PLU 8 on level 2, and PLU 9 on level 3,  
and so on until:  
PLU #15 accesses PLU 43 on level 1, PLU 44 on level 2 and PLU 45 on level 3

Program 70 - Function Key Options  
Use Program 70 to set options for function keys. Because of the differences inherent in function  
keys, individual options will be different. See the specific instructions for each key in this chapter to  
find the options for each key.  
1. Turn the control lock to the P position.  
2. To begin the program, enter 7 0, press the SBTL key.

4. Enter the values for the option digit or digits. Depending on the function key you are  
programming, you may enter up to five digits N1 through N5. Determine the values for  
N1 through N5 by referring to the specific function key information that follows. (You  
do not need to enter preceding zeros. For example, if the function key offers five  
digits, N1 through N5 and you are only selecting a value for N5, just enter the value for  
N5.) Press the function key you wish to program.

Program 80 - Function Key Descriptor  
Use Program 80 to program alphanumeric descriptors for function keys. Descriptors can be up to 12  
characters in length. (Because the #/NS key supports two functions, program 81 is used to program

Group Status and Descriptor Programming  
21 Group totals are available to accumulate totals of individual PLUs that are assigned to each group.  
Each PLU can be assigned to one or two different groups. (See "Program 150 - PLU Group  
Assignment" on page 101 to program PLU groups for each PLU.)  
Use program 900 to assign a group status, i.e. a group can be set to not add to the total  
of all groups, or a group can be used to designate like items for kitchen printer  
assignment.  
Use program 910 to assign a unique descriptor for each group, so that the group may be  
easily understood on the group report.

Scale Tare Weight Programming  
A tare is the amount of weight accounted for by the container or packaging. By entering a tare weight  
(as required by law in some areas) the weight of the container is subtracted and only the true weight  
of the product is measured on the scale. If you are using an optional scale you can pre-program up to  
four standard tare weights. Tare #5 is reserved for manually entering tare weights. By using a tare,  
you automatically subtract the container weight when a product is on the scale.

Glossary of Terms  
Activity Count  
The activity counter keeps track of the number of times an entry is made on a PLU, or function key.  
Audaction  
Refers to the total of all negative sale transactions.  
Clerks/Cashiers  
Although often used interchangeably, the terms 'clerk' and 'cashier' have separate meanings.  
Sales clerks are individuals who are responsible for selling the merchandise to the  
customer. A clerk may or may not actually operate the cash register (a cashier might  
ring sales for many different clerks). Typically, management wants to know  
merchandise sales levels for each clerk, in order to monitor productivity and/or pay  
commissions.  
Cashiers actually operate the cash register, and are usually held responsible for cash,  
checks, and other media in the cash drawer. When new cashier begins operations, the  
drawer is usually counted so that responsibility can be shifted to another cashier. Or,  
when two cashiers are operating the same cash register at the same time, an optional  
second cash drawer can be installed so that each cashier can be held individually  
accountable.  
In many establishments, clerks and cashiers perform similar functions. Cashiers can be clerks; clerks  
are often cashiers.  
Compulsory  
When an operation is programmed compulsory, a function (i.e. Non-add number entry) must be  
performed in order to complete the operation.  
Consecutive Number  
A count appears at the bottom of each receipt and after each transaction on the journal tape. This  
count increases by one with each transaction, report, or scan.  
SAM4s ER-5115 Electronic Cash Register  
Glossary of Terms  
169  
Default Program  
The original program installed in the ER-5115. The register has a default program that makes it  
operational after a RAM clear. Nearly all option, rate, and status programs are set to zero as the  
default condition.  
Default Level  
The level set, via programming, as the main, or surface level. When levels are programmed as Pop-  
up levels, the keyboard returns to this level automatically.  
Discount (Item)  
An item discount (coupon or %) subtracts an amount or percentage from the price of an item. This  
subtraction nets the PLU total.  
Discount (Sale)  
A sale discount (coupon or %) subtracts an amount or percentage from the entire sale.  
Error Condition  
An error condition signals that illegal operation has occurred. It is identified by an audible tone and  
an error descriptor appearing on the display.  
Error Correct  
An error correct operation voids the last item entered, it must be used within a sale.  
Gallonage  
Gallonage is a status that may be assigned to a PLU. Gallonage PLUs accept a price, but print both  
the price and the quantity of gallons sold. The quantity of gallons is computed from the price per  
gallon, which is set as the preset price in Program 200.  
Hash  
Hash status for a PLU allows the amount of the PLU entry to add to the sale, as well as the individual  
PLU total on the PLU report. However, the amount is not added to the Net sales, Gross sales, or  
Grand total. Hash status is used to account for sales of items such as lottery tickets, or bottle  
deposits, that do not represent reportable income.  
HALO  
The high amount lock-out (HALO) limits the amount allowed to be entered in a PLU, or function key.  
Journal  
The journal tape is a separate tape that records all of the transactions on the register. This is the  
management's copy of all register activity.  
170  
Glossary of Terms  
SAM4s ER-5115 Electronic Cash Register  
No Sale  
No sale is an operation to simply open the cash drawer.  
Override  
Override is an operation used to bypass a programmed price or HALO.  
Post Tendering  
The Post Tendering feature allows the operator to use the register to compute change on cash  
transactions after the sale has been finalized.  
To calculate change due after finalizing the sale, enter the cash amount presented by the customer and  
then press CASH. The amount of change due the customer is then displayed, and the cash drawer  
will open.  
This is a calculation function only, and no totals or counters are updated by the use of this feature.  
PLUs  
Price look-ups (PLUs) are accessed by indexing a code number and pressing the PLU key, or by  
pressing a PLU key located on the keyboard. PLUs may be programmed with a preset or open price.  
PLUs record their own activity count and dollar total on the PLU report.  
Receipt  
A receipt is a printed tape given to a customer as a record of the sale transaction.  
Register Number  
The register number is a programmable number that prints on the receipt and journal tapes. It  
identifies the electronic cash register the sale or report was performed on.  
Surcharge (Item)  
An item percent surcharge adds a percentage to the price of an item. This addition nets the PLU total.  
Stay-Down  
When a function is programmed as a Stay-down function, it is valid until changed. For example, a  
Stay-down clerk remains signed on until either signed off, or another clerk is signed on. A Stay-down  
level is in effect until another level key is pressed.  
Surcharge (Sale)  
A sale percent surcharge adds a percentage to the entire sale.  
Tax Except  
Tax except is used to exclude the tax from an entire sale.  
SAM4s ER-5115 Electronic Cash Register  
Glossary of Terms  
171  
Tax Shift  
Tax shift keys are used to reverse the tax status of a PLU entry.  
Tender  
The method of register operation in which payment is made and the transaction is finalized.  
Void  
A void operation will erase a previous item entry. It must be used inside of a sale only.
