Programming Tax  
Most sales taxes can be programmed by entering a tax percentage rate. However, in some cases you  
may find that tax that is entered as a percentage does not follow exactly the tax chart that applies in  
your area. If this is the case, you must enter your tax using tax table programming. This method will  
match tax collection exactly to the break points of your tax table. See “Tax Table Programming” on  
page 54.  
Important Note: After you have entered your tax program, 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 amounts 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, or  
if you cannot program your tax properly from the information in this manual,  
contact the CRS, Inc. Service Center at 1-888-333-6776 for assistance.  
Programming a Tax Rate Percentage  
1. Turn the control lock to the PGM position.  
2. Enter the rate, with a decimal. 0.000-99.999. It is not necessary to enter proceeding  
zeros. For example, for 6%, enter 06.000 or 6.000.)  
3. Enter 00.

Programming Department Status  
There are two parts to department programming. Department status is set here. Depending on  
whether you select open or preset department status is this section, you can also program either the  
open department entry limit or the preset department price. See “Programming Department Entry  
Limit or Price” on page 46.  
Use this section to program the following status options:  
z
Set negative departments that subtract from the sale, rather than normal positive departments  
which add to the sale.  
z
Enforce the entry of a non-adding number before the department entry. See “Non Add  
Number” on page 34 for operation sequences.  
z
z
Disable the departments, so that entries are not allowed.  
Choose Open or Preset departments. Open departments accept amount entries. Use open  
departments to enter different priced items into the same category. Preset departments  
automatically register a preprogrammed price when the department key is pressed. Use preset  
departments to register an individual item quickly and accurately. For example, cigarette packs  
or food items can be assigned to departments as presets.  
When you select preset departments, you can also decide if the department can also accept open  
entries. This option is referred to as “preset override”.  
z
z
Set single item departments which automatically total as a cash sale immediately after the  
department entry. Single item departments are used to speed up one item sales.  
Select a tax status to determine whether sales tax is automatically added.  
Unless otherwise programmed, departments are positive, open, not taxable, not single item  
departments, and accept unlimited amounts (up to 7 digit entry). Therefore, it is not necessary to  
program departments you wish to be open, positive, non-taxable, not single item, with no entry limit.

Use the instructions in this chapter only if you wish to determine tax program entries yourself. See  
“Programming Tax” on page 13 to enter a simple tax rate.  
Important Note: After you have entered your tax program, 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, or  
if you cannot find the correct tax information for your area in the Appendix,  
contact the CRS, Inc. Service Center at 1-888-333-6776 for assistance.  
Tax Rate Programming  
You can program up to three separate taxes on the ER-290. Set tax rate(s) here.

If you are entering a tax table, see “Tax Table Programming” on page 54 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 and/or 2,3 for any other provincial tax or taxes.  
Programming Tax Rates and Status  
1. Turn the control lock to the PGM position.  
2. If the tax is a percentage rate, with a decimal. (0.000-99.999). It is not necessary to  
enter proceeding zeros. For example, for 6%, enter 06.000 or 6.000.  
3. For the type of tax, enter:  
if the tax is a percentage added to the sale (normal add on tax)

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 47 break points.  
Determining Break Point Entries  
1. Refer to the “Tax Table Programming Example - Illinois 6% Tax Table” on page 55 to  
help with this exercise.  
2. Calculate the break point differences by subtracting the high side of the previous range  
from the high side of the dollar range.  
3. 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 PGM position.  
2. Enter the number of the tax you are programming (1, 2, or 3, 4), press the TAX SHIFT  
key.  
3. Enter the maximum amount that is not taxed, press the TAX SHIFT key.  
4. Enter the first tax amount charged, press the TAX SHIFT key.  
5. For each non-repeat break point, enter the high side from the sale dollar range and press  
the TAX SHIFT key.  
6. Press the CHECK TEND key.  
7. For each repeat break point, enter the high side from the sale dollar range and press the  
TAX SHIFT key.  
8. Press the CASH/TEND key to end the tax table program.

%1 and %2 Key Programming  
There are two percentage keys on the keyboard: %1 and %2. The %1 key applies a surcharge.  
The %2 key applies a discount. Without any further programming, you can apply a discount or  
surcharge to an individual item or to the subtotal of a sale by entering a percentage and pressing  
the %1 or %2 key. This program allows you to:

1. Turn the control lock to the PGM position.  
2. Enter the percentage rate you wish to preset, or 0 if you only wish to enter the  
percentage. Press the %1 or %2key, depending on which key you are programming.  
Be sure to enter the decimal point if you are setting a rate that is not an even  
percentage, i.e. enter 33 1/3 % as 3 3 . 3 3 3. If you are setting an even percentage, it is  
not necessary to enter the decimal point, i.e. enter 50 % as 5 0.  
3. To decide if tax is calculated before or after the percentage is applied, complete the  
table below by adding the status digits for each tax. Then enter the resulting tax status

- (Minus) Key Programming  
The - (Minus) key is used to enter the amount of a coupon that is subtracted from the sale.  
z
The - (Minus) key can programmed to be taxable or non-taxable. In other words,  
when you are subtracting a coupon, you can calculate sales tax on the net or the gross  
cost of the item. If the - (Minus) key is taxable, you will calculate sales tax on the net  
cost of the item. If the - (Minus) key is -non-taxable, you will calculate sales tax on  
the gross cost of the item.  
z
You can also program limit errors by setting the maximum amount that may be  
entered into the - (Minus) key. For example, setting a 3 digit limit means the  
maximum you can enter is $9.99. This is referred to as the High Digit Lock Out, or  
HDLO.  
Programming the - (Minus) Key  
1. Turn the control lock to the PGM position.  
2. Enter the High Digit Lock Out (entry limit) digit from the table below. (Enter 0 for no

PLU (Price Look Up) Programming  
The ER-290 offers 200 PLUs (Price Look Ups) as a standard feature. Like departments PLUs (Price  
Look Ups) may be open or preset.  
z
Preset PLUs are used to register preset items. The most significant difference between  
a preset department and a preset PLU is the method of registration. While preset  
departments are registered by simply pressing the department key, preset PLUs are  
registered by entering the PLU number and pressing the PLU key.  
There are many possible uses for preset PLUs. Since there are many more PLUs than  
departments, you may use PLUs when you wish to accurately price and count a larger  
group of items. Possible uses include: menu items in a restaurant or items (such as  
cigarettes) that you wish to inventory.  
z
Use open PLUs when you wish enter different priced items into a larger number of  
categories.  
Programming PLU Status  
There are two parts to PLU programming. PLU status is set here. Depending on whether you select  
open or preset PLU status is this section, you can also program either the open PLU entry limit or the  
preset PLU price. See “Programming PLU Entry Limit or Price” on page 64.  
Use this section to program the following status options:  
z
Set negative PLUs that subtract from the sale, rather than normal positive PLUs which  
add to the sale.  
z
Enforce the entry of a non-adding number before the PLU entry. See “Non Add  
Number” on page 34 for operation sequences.  
z
z
z
Disable the PLUs, so that entries are not allowed.  
Choose Open or Preset PLUs.  
Set single item PLUs which automatically total as a cash sale immediately after the  
PLUs entry. Single item departments are used to speed up one item sales.  
z
Select a tax status to determine whether sales tax is automatically added.

2. Turn the control lock to the X or the Z position.

Cash-In-Drawer Declaration  
Cash-In-Drawer Declaration is an optional feature that forces you to count the drawer and declare  
the drawer count before a report can be run. By forcing the operator to declare, without knowledge  
of the expected drawer totals, you are assured that all cash will be deposited. System option #8 must  
be set to a value of 1 to enforce cash declaration. See “System Option Programming” on page 48 to  
program system options.  
Declaring Cash  
1. Turn the control lock to the X position.
