Introduction

About the Samsung SER-6500II Series
Congratulations on choosing the Samsung SER-6500II Series Electronic Cash Register! With
this manual we provide you with a means to program this register so that your customer may
use it to its fullest potential.
The Samsung SER-6500II Series machines are general purpose Electronic Cash Registers
which allow many different configurations. This manual has been written with these different
configurations in mind. Examples of two different keyboard styles are shown in the keyboard
section of this manual. Your keyboard arrangement may differ.
The Samsung SER-6500II/6540II also features Inter-Register Communications (IRC),
allowing up to 16 registers to share programmed information and consolidate report data.
SER-6500IIs and SER-6540IIs may belong to the same IRC system. Since the same EPROM
is used for both models, register type is transparent.
IRC may also be used to transfer programming from one machine to another in the same
system, requiring only a single register to be fully programmed. Once established, changes to
PLU programming performed at any register in the system will automatically be downloaded to
all other registers in the system.
If you have questions concerning the configuration of the SER-6500II, contact your Samsung
Dealer.

Error Messages

The Samsung SER-6500II/6540II displays many different error messages. Many messages are
self explanatory, and are displayed in order for the operator to correct the error. Some prompt
the operator to complete a procedure before continuing (inserting a slip for validation is one
example). Others simply identify illegal key sequences, which may be corrected by re-entering
the key sequence correctly.
Many of the display prompts and error displays may be custom programmed. The following

Changing Paper & Print Ribbon
Changing/Installing the Printer Ribbon Cartridge
The Samsung SER-6500II/6540II receipt/journal printer uses a replaceable ink ribbon
cartridge. This cartridge must be in place (as well as the logo stamp) when changing the receipt
and journal paper, or the paper will not feed properly through the printer. Once installed, if
print becomes faint, the ink ribbon must be replaced.

To Replace the Ink Ribbon
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 counterclockwise.

Loading the Receipt Printer:
* Ribbon and logo stamp must be in place when changing paper.
1. Place the other roll of paper into the small tray on the left.
2. Make sure the paper unrolls from the bottom of the roll.
3. Fold back approximately 6" of paper and insert the folded end of the tape into the feed slot
just in front of the paper tray at the rear of the
printer.
4. Press the RECEIPT FEED switch until the paper
comes through the printer. Continue to press the
switch until 3 - 4 inches of paper are through the
printer.
5. Replace the printer cover, making sure the receipt
paper comes out through the opening in the printer
cover.

18 • Introduction

SER-6500II/6540II Program Manual

Initial Loading of the Detail Printer

Eat-In, Take-out, and Drive Thru Destination Only Keys
Your register may require the depression of one of the above function keys before ending each
transaction. Each of the above keys is programmed separately to adjust taxes on each sale.
Some locales will tax food purchases one way if the food is consumed on the premises, and
another if it is "carried out" to be consumed elsewhere.
Taxes are adjusted for the entire sale, so if items are purchased for both on and off the
premises, two separate transactions must take place.

Condiments
Kitchen Printing
Condiments are PLUs or item keys that are specially programmed for kitchen printing.
Condiments are most often, as their name infers, things added to an item such as mustard,
ketchup, onions, etc. They may also be cooking or preparation instructions. These additions
and instructions appear with the main item on print-outs issued by the receipt and kitchen
printers.
Main items may be programmed to require a condiment entry ("how would you like that
cooked?") and will issue an error if any key other than a condiment follows the main item
entry. Condiments are entered after the main item, and some may add to the cost.
Ask you manager to identify the condiments on your keyboard.

PRINT Key
The PRINT key allows the operator to alter the normal printer output by sending it to a kitchen
printer, or by sending receipt output to a directly attached remote printer for a regular sales
transaction.

For Special Orders
This arrangement allows the operator to send items to the kitchen printer that either wouldn't
normally go there, or require special attention. In some applications, this key may be labeled
"GRILL", since it can be programmed to send the printer output to the grill area kitchen
printer. All printer output made using the PRINT key in this fashion is in addition to regular
output.
To use the PRINT key feature, simply press the PRINT key before the first item and
immediately after the last item you want printed for special attention. In this example, a
normally cold HAM & CHEESE sandwich has been ordered as a hot HAM & CHEESE.

Drive-Up Window Operatons
In applications where one station may be taking orders and another collecting payments, orders
may be stored for a time before they are paid. This may also be true of establishments that
take phone in orders for carry-out.

New Order (P/BAL)
Store Order (Service)
Recall Order (Check #)
To begin an order at the drive-up window, press the NEW ORDER (P/Bal) key. This will
begin a tracking total for this order, issuing an order number. Items are registered in the
normal manner, except that the STORE ORDER (Service) is pressed at the end of the
transaction, rather than a payment key. NEW ORDER (P/Bal) may be pressed anytime within
the transaction.
To recall an order, press the RECALL ORDER (Check #) key to recall the oldest stored order,
or enter the order number and press the RECALL ORDER (Check #) key. Once an order has
been recalled, the operator may add to it, void items from it, or simply pay it as they would any
order.

Starting an Order
In a true Drive-Thru environment, pressing the NEW ORDER key is all that is necessary to
begin an order. The register assigns a sequential order number automatically.

Food Service / Table Service
Check Tracking
In an environment that allows customers to "run a tab", the Samsung SER-6500/6540 may be
programmed to allow check tracking in the form of either hard or soft checks. Hard checks
involve a form provided by the house, which is inserted into the guest check printer each time it
is serviced. In a soft check environment, a third station printer simply issues a receipt listing
the items registered, along with a service total, or balance carried forward.
Several entries may be compulsory when opening a guest check for the first time. The
CUSTOMER # and TABLE # keys are used to enter the number of people served, and their
location. Registers programmed as pre-check machines require all transactions to begin with a
new check or check recall sequence. Opening a Hard Check

Opening a Hard Check
If assigned check numbers are used, enter the check number and press CHECK#. Enter items
as you would for any sale, and exit by placing the guest check in the check printer, and
pressing the SERVICE key. If the operator should forget to insert the guest check into the
printer, the register will prompt them to do so. Pressing the SERVICE key again begins the
printing process.

Soft Check Operations
PRINT CHECK Key
Soft check check tracking operations follow the same general rules as those for hard checks,
except that it is not necessary to print the guest check every time it is serviced. Opening new
guest checks, retrieving existing balances, and closing guest checks require all the same
keystrokes. The only addition action required from the operator is the depression of the
PRINT CHECK key when a copy of the guest check is desired.
The PRINT CHECK key sends the entire order to the designated soft check printer. The
PRINT CHECK key may be programmed to also service the guest check. If not, the
SERVICE key must pressed in addition to the PRINT CHECK key when a copy of the guest
check is required. In most cases, it is not necessary to print the guest check until it is time to
present it to the guest for payment.
The PRINT CHECK key applies to soft check operations only.

Scanning UPC, EAN, or store generated bar codes is just another way to enter a PLU number
into the register. Each time an item is scanned, the register enters the PLU number read from
the bar code. Your 6500II/6540II can also be set to scan price or weight embedded bar codes.
Price embedded bar codes will print with the correct embedded price; weight embedded bar
codes will show the weight multiplied by the preset price.
If the scanner is not able to read the code, simply enter the digits using the ten key pad and
press the PLU key. If the register returns a PLU NOT FOUND or similar message, the item
may not be programmed into the system.

X-Mode Programming

Introduction
X-Mode programming for the Samsung SER-6500II/6540II may also be considered Manager
programming, since many of the functions may fall under the responsibility of the store
manager.
X-Mode programming involves setting the default size and modifier levels (for pop-up mode),
signing in and out of training mode, turning the receipt print on and off, and cash declaration
procedures.

X-Mode Override / Manager Mode
Certain function keys (Void, R/A, P/O, Refund, etc.) may be programmed to require the
keylock turned to the "X" position before they will operate. If an attempted operation results in
a "MANAGER" error prompt, the keylock must be turned to the "X" (Manager) position and
the operation repeated.
Certain entry limits may also be programmed to allow higher entries when the key is turned to
the "X" position. This is referred to as X-Mode override. Ask your dealer and/or Store
Manager to list the keys affected in Manager Mod

80 • X-Mode Programming

SER-6500II/6540II Program Manual

77 SBTL - Set Default Size
Five Size keys are available for placement on the SER-6500/6540 keyboard. Size function
keys are programmable in P-Mode to manipulate the PLU number assigned to any given NLU
key. Size and modifier keys may be programmed to "Pop-Up" after each time they are used.
By popping up, they return to a predetermined size or modifier level. In this programming
step, you may determine the size and modifier level these keys return to after each use. An
entry of "0" assigns the default as the true (unaltered) PLU number assigned to that NLU key.
This feature may also be used to shift all NLU keys to another use. Since each NLU key may
access five different PLU numbers by using the size keys, five keyboards may be laid out, each
with different PLU numbers assigned to NLU keys. Five more keyboards are available using
modifier keys. And by combining the default settings of the two types of keys, up to 25
separate "levels" may be programmed.

numbers using the Size and Modifier keys.

X-Mode Cash Declaration
Cash declaration is not a part of programming, but a management function which takes place
with the keylock in the X position.
Please note that the cash declaration process begins and ends with pressing the CASH key. If,
while taking reports, the manager should inadvertently press the CASH key, they will begin the
cash declaration process. Once started, the process must be completed* before the register is
released for other operations. Please teach end users to check the receipt for the *CASH
DECLARATION* line, printed at the beginning of the operation, if they experience problems
or apparent lock-ups while taking reports.

Regardless of the entry method during a sale, all PLUs prices and descriptors are programmed
in two steps:
1) Program 200 - PLU HALO/Preset Price
2) Program 300 - PLU Descriptors
IRC Program Transfer of PLUs
Once an IRC system has been established, any changes made to the PLU file (price or
descriptor changes) at any register will be automatically broadcast to all other registers in the
system.
Preparation
All PLUs require a PLU number, or code, by which they are identified. PLU codes may be
from one to fourteen digits long, and do not have to be programmed in any particular order.

SER-6500II/6540II Program Manual

200 SBTL - PLU Price / HALO Programming
PLUs may be programmed to register either a pre-set price, or to accept an open amount.
PLUs programmed to accept an open amount may be programmed for an entry limit, or High
Amount Lock Out. The SER-6500II/6540II will accept HALOs and preset prices of up to 8
digits, but not higher than $500,000.00. Prices and HALOs may also be assigned by range, in
the same way as the program status. The register will not assign a price or HALO to a PLU
that has not yet been programmed for status.
Price and HALO programming for a single PLU is as follows:

300 SBTL - PLU Descriptor Programming
Like status and price programming, descriptors may be programmed for one or a thousand
PLUs. PLUs may have a descriptor of up to 12 characters. These descriptors may be entered
by their two digit alpha-codes on either model machine, or by using the alpha keyboard overlay
on the SER-6500II.

It is possible to transfer programming from machine to machine using IRC program
downloading. It is also possible to mix SER-6500II and SER-6540II machines within a
system. So, if you wish, you may program alpha descriptors on an SER-6500II, using the
alpha-overlay feature, and then download the PLU's to one or more SER-6540IIs.

Clerk/Cashier Programming
1 to 99 clerks were allocated as part of S-Mode memory allocation programming. P-Mode
Clerk/Cashier programming is divided into four areas:
1. Sign-on Code Programming - Each Clerk may be assigned a secret sign-in code of up
to ten digits.
2. Descriptor Programming - A custom twelve-character descriptor may be programmed
for each clerk/cashier.
3. Status Options - Status options assign clerks to a labor group, and a specific cash
drawer.
4. Labor Group Descriptor Programming - Each of the thirty labor groups may have a
custom twelve-character descriptor. These descriptors appear on labor reports.

800 SBTL - Secret Sign-on Code Programming
Clerk/Cashiers take on a permanent clerk # as part of initial programming. If 50 clerks were
allocated as part of S-Mode memory allocation, then the clerks created are given numbers 1 50. This is the number referred to as Clerk #. Each clerk may be assigned a secret sign-in
code, used to log in and out of the register. All sales entered into a register while a clerk is
signed into that register are credited to that clerk. In addition, the cash register maintains
separate financial totals for each clerk.

Clerk status programming determines which labor group each clerk belongs to. Each labor
group has its own report total.
Clerk drawer assignments are also made as part of status programming. Clerks may be signed
exclusively to drawers 1 - 3, or barred from cash sales by programming 0 as the drawer
number. Drawer 0 will allow only P/Bal sales that end with the Service key.

SER-6500II/6540II Reports

Overview
System reports are divided into two basic categories; "X", or read-only, and "Z", or read &
reset to zero. Most reports are available in both categories. Some reports, such as "In-Drawer"
reports and the From-To Department report are only available in X-Mode.
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. These fall into the "X2" & "Z2" category. They may be read in
"X2" as often as needed, and then reset to zero with the "Z2" command. Z2 totals are updated
each time a Z1 report is completed. If Z3 totals have been selected as part of memory
allocation programming, Z3 totals also maintained. Z3 totals are updated every time Z2 reports
are completed.
A complete list of possible reports is presented in the charts on the following pages.

IRC Reporting
You may consolidate reports by first entering IRC mode, and then entering the report number.

Financial Report Notes
c This sales total is for PLUs which have been programmed as "no tax" PLUs. PLUs which
have had their programmed taxes shifted are not included in these sales.
d PLU items which are taxable by more than one rate report to totals for each rate they are
taxable. A $10.00 item which is taxed at both rates 1 & 2 will add $10.00 to the taxable 1
sales as well as $10.00 to taxable 2 sales.
e These are reference totals (both counts and amounts) for Eat-in and Take-out orders.
f Discounts, Coupons, and Surcharges are individually programmable, and may or may not
affect gross and net sales. Ask your Store Manager or Samsung dealer to point out which
of these keys affect totals for balancing.
g Reference total and count for cash transactions. This amount is not the drawer total. Cash
in Drawer amounts are affected by check cashing, cash paid outs, tips, and change issued
from check transactions.
h Reference total and count for sales which were paid by check. Again, this is not the check
in drawer total, as it does not include received on account payments made by check, and it
accounts only for the price of the merchandise purchased and not the amount of the check
written.
i These are the tender amounts used to balance to settlements. If cash declaration is
enforced, amounts declared will appear here, with over/short amounts.
j In a check tracking environment, the Checks Paid and Service amounts should balance
(equal). This may not be the case at each register in a system, but should be reflected in
the all register IRC report.
k The register treats each sales transaction as another customer. No-sales and reports
(among other functions) advance the transaction counter, but do not advance the customer
count.
l This as a function of the Time Keeping feature found on the Samsung SER-6500II/6540II.
Today's labor cost is based on a store average wage multiplied by the number of hours
clocked by each employee for the day.
