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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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
characteristics as the original might create shock,
fire or other hazards.

CAUTION
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.

ATTENTION
ll y a danger d’explosion s’il y a remplacement
incorrect de la batterie.
Remplacer uniquement avec une batterie du même type
ou d’un type équivalent recommandé par le constructeur.
Mettre au rebut les batteries usagées conformément aux
instructions du fabricant.

Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
Dispose used batteries according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.

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.
WARNING: An electrolytic capacitor installed with the wrong polarity might explode.
1. Servicing precautions are printed on the cabinet.
Follow them.
2. Always unplug the units AC power cord from the
AC power source before attempting to:
(a) Remove or reinstall any component or assembly
(b) Disconnect an electrical plug or connector
(c) Connect a test component in parallel with an
electrolytic capacitor
3. Some components are raised above the printed
circuit board for safety. An insulation tube or tape
is sometimes used. The internal wiring is sometimes
clamped to prevent contact with thermally hot
components. Reinstall all such elements to their
original position.
4. After servicing, always check that the screws,
components and wiring have been correctly
reinstalled. Make sure that the portion around the
serviced part has not been damaged.

1-3

5. Check the insulation between the blades of the AC
plug and accessible conductive parts (examples :
metal panels and input terminals).
6. Insulation Checking Procedure:
Disconnect the power cord from the AC source and
turn the power switch ON. Connect an insulation
resistance meter (500V) to the blades of AC plug.
The insulation resistance between each blade of the
AC plug and accessible conductive parts (see
above) should be greater than 1 megohm.
7. Never defeat any of the B+ voltage interlocks.
Do not apply AC power to the unit (or any of its
assemblies) unless all solid-state heat sinks are
correctly installed.
8. Always connect an instrument’s ground lead to the
instrument chassis ground before connecting the
positive lead ; always remove the instrument’s
ground lead last.

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 fieldeffect transistors. The following techniques will
reduce the occurrence of component damage caused
by static electricity.
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 wriststrap device. (Be sure to remove it prior to applying
power - this is an electric shock precaution.)
3. After removing an ESD-equipped assembly, place it
on a conductive surface such as aluminum foil to
prevent accumulation of electrostatic charge.
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.

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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

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:

Direct Sign-On

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, popup, 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.

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 nontaxable, 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

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.

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

Promo Function
The PROMO key allows the operator to account for promotional items (i.e. buy two, get one free).
By design, this key will remove the items cost from the sale, but not the count. In the example of buy
two, get one free, the reported count remains three items, but the customer is only charged for two.

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.

Scale Operations
The SAM4s ER-5115 can be interfaced to an optional load-cell scale, allowing direct entry of an
item's weight by using the SCALE key. If you attempt an entry into a PLU that has been
programmed to require scale entry, (see "Program 100 - PLU Status Programming" on page 99) an
error tone will sound and you will be prompted to make a scale entry.

Direct Scale Entry
Place a product on the scale and press the SCALE key to display the weight on the cash register.
Then make the appropriate PLU entry.

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:

Void
Received on Account
Paid Out
Merchandise Return
% Keys
Check Cashing

SAM4s ER-5115 Electronic Cash Register

Management Functions 63

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

Press the desired level key twice to set that level as default.
LEVEL

LEVEL

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:

Turn the control lock to the X or Z position
(depending upon the type of report you are taking.)

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
optionally abbreviated through register programming, are represented twice. They are first shown
with the option off, giving all totals, and again with the option turned on, showing the abbreviated
version of the same report.
Registers programmed with pop-up clerks must be signed on in the REG control lock position prior
to taking reports.

Running a Report - General Instructions
1.

Refer to the "Report Table" on page 67.

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:

90 Programming

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 reenter 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.

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.

SAM4s ER-5115 Electronic Cash Register

Programming 93

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.

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.

For the type of tax:

If the tax is a percentage added to the sale (normal add on tax), enter:

If the tax is a percentage value added tax (VAT; calculated as part of the
sale), enter:

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:
OPTION

VALUE

GST (tax 4) is taxable by rate 1?

Yes = 1
No = 0

GST (tax 4) is taxable by rate 2?

Yes = 2
No = 0

GST (tax 4) is taxable by rate 3?

Yes = 4
No = 0

Press the Tax Shift key for the tax you are programming.

Press the CASH key to end programming.

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.

Refer to the “Tax Table Programming Example - Illinois 6% Tax Table” on page 96 to
help with this exercise.

Calculate the break point differences by subtracting the high side of the previous range
from the high side of the dollar range.

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.

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.

Enter the maximum amount that is not taxed, press the appropriate TAX SHIFT key.

Enter the first tax amount charged, press the appropriate TAX SHIFT key.

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.

For the last non-repeat break point, enter the high side from the sale dollar range and
press the X/TIME key.

For each repeat break point, enter the high side from the sale dollar range and press the
appropriate TAX SHIFT key.

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 12character, 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:

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 Popup 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.
