INTRODUCTION
Thank you very much for your purchase of the SHARP Electronic Cash Register, Model ER-A410/A420.
Please read this manual carefully before operating your machine to gain a thorough understanding of the
functions and features offered by this model ECR.
Please keep this manual for future reference, it may help you if you encounter operational problems.

IMPORTANT
• Install your register in a location that is not subject to direct radiation, unusual temperature changes,
high humidity or exposed to water sources.
Installation in such locations could cause damage to the cabinet and the electrical components.
• The register should not be operated by an individual with wet hands.
The water could seep into the interior of the register and cause component failure.
• When cleaning your register, use a dry, soft cloth. Never use solvents, such as benzine and/or thinner.
The use of such chemicals will lead to discoloration or deterioration of the cabinet.
• The register plugs into any standard wall outlet (120V ±10% AC) which utilizes a dedicated ground
circuit.
Please note that other electrical devices on the same electrical circuit could cause the register to malfunction.
• If the register malfunctions, call your local dealer for service - do not try to repair the register yourself.
• For a complete electrical disconnection, the AC power cord must be removed from the wall outlet.
• Never disconnect the peripheral while the register remains plugged into the AC outlet.

PRECAUTION
This Electronic Cash Register has a built-in memory protection circuit which is supported by rechargeable
batteries.
It is important to know that all batteries will, in time, dissipate their charge even if not used. Therefore to insure
an adequate charge in the protection circuit, and to prevent any possible loss of memory during or after
installation, it is recommended that each unit be allowed to recharge for a period of 24 to 48 hours prior to and
during use by the customer.
In order to charge the batteries, the machine must be plugged in. This recharging precaution can prevent
unnecessary equipment malfunctions or service calls.

PRINTER
The printer is a receipt/journal dual station type thermal printer, that does not require an ink ribbon or cartridge.
The average life of the printer is approximately 5 million lines.
When removing the printer cover, lift it from the rear as
shown.
When installing the printer cover, hook it on the pawls on
the cabinet and shut it.

Caution: The paper cutter is mounted on the printer
(receipt side). Be careful not to cut yourself.

Your register is shipped with the print head release lever
held in the lifted up position by a white retainer. Be sure to
remove this retainer (see the figure at the right) and push
down the print head release lever before you use the
register.

Print head release lever
The print head can be lifted by the green lever on the right side of the printer. Pulling the lever forward, lifts the
print head up. If the paper becomes jammed and you need to move the print head farther forward, you can pull
the lever even further toward you and proceed with the removal of the jammed paper.

Note

Do not attempt to remove the paper roll with the head in the down position. This may result in
damage to the printer and print head.

the “REG” or “OFF” position.
• Manager key (MA)

Operative range

• Submanager key (SM)

• Operator key (OP)

The mode switch has these settings:
OFF:

This mode locks all register operation.
No change occurs to register data.
OP X/Z: This setting allows cashiers to take X or Z reports for their sales
information. It can also be used for displaying the date/time and
printing the employee’s arrival/departure times. And it can be used to toggle receipt state “ON” and
“OFF” by pressing the q key. (This setting may be used only when your register has been
programmed for “OP X/Z mode available” in the PGM2 mode.)

For entering sales
PGM1: To program those items that need to be changed often: e.g., unit prices of departments, PLUs or
UPCs, and percentages.
PGM2: To program all PGM1 programs and those items that do not require frequent changes: e.g., date,
time, or a variety of register functions.
MGR:
For manager’s and submanager’s entries
The manager can use this mode to make entries that are not permitted to be made by cashiers – for
example, after-transaction voiding and override entries.

PLU level shift (for direct PLU)
This shift can double or triple the number of PLUs on your register without adding additional direct PLU keys.
You can use direct PLUs in three levels by utilizing shift keys l, ¬, and Ò. These keys have the following
functions.

l: Shifts the PLU level from level 2 or 3 to level 1 (ordinary level).
¬: Shifts the PLU level from level 1 or 3 to level 2.
Ò: Shifts the PLU level from level 1 or 2 to level 3.
You must program your machine in the PGM2 mode to select one of the two PLU level shift modes — automatic
return mode* and lock shift mode** — and decide whether to allow PLU level shift in both the REG and MGR
modes or in the MGR mode alone.
* The automatic return mode automatically shifts the PLU level back to level 1 after a direct PLU key is pressed.
You can select whether the PLU level should return each time you enter one item or each time you finalize
one transaction.
** The lock shift mode holds the current PLU level until a PLU level shift key is pressed.
Automatic return mode
If you shift the PLU level while in the automatic return mode, press the desired PLU level shift key before
numeric entries.

Mix-and-match entries
This function is convenient for matching several PLU/UPC items and selling them in a lump (e.g. bundle sale,
multi-packed sale, etc.). The matching q’ty and adjusted amount are assigned to a mix-and-match table. All
items that are programmed into the same table are treated as if they belong to one group.

Example

Selling on a mix-and-match basis the following items in table no. 1 to which the matching q’ty
“3” and the adjusted amount “$10.00” are assigned:
• PLU 40 (Unit price: $5.00)
• PLU 41 (Unit price: $3.00)

Price change function (for UPCs)
You can use this function when you need to change the unit price or associated department of a UPC item in
REG/MGR mode.
There are two methods for price changes:
1. Price change mode
You can change the preset price and/or the associated department of a UPC item without entering PGM
mode.
2. Changing a price during a transaction
When a wrong UPC price and/or associated department is found during transaction, you can correct them at
the time of the transaction. With the entry of a new price and/or associated department, the preset price
and/or associated department is automatically changed to the new price and/or associated department.

Note

For the Non-PLU type price embedded UPC-A codes and press codes, the prices in the codes
have the priority over the preset prices. So, for these codes, a changed price is valid only when the
price change is executed.

4 Food stamp calculations
Food stamp tendering
If your customer makes payment (or tendering) in food stamps, obtain the food stamp-eligible subtotal* by
pressing the f key and make a food stamp tender entry before entering a cash or check tender.

Note

The food stamp-eligible subtotal* depends upon how your register is programmed based on the
food stamp-eligibility of the automatic tax on a sale of items eligible for food stamp payment, or
whether your register is programmed to allow the automatic tax to be paid with food stamps or not
or to exempt taxation. The example below presupposes that your register has been programmed
to exempt taxation.

When the amount tendered in food stamps is greater than the food stamp-eligible subtotal:
Your register shows two change due amounts in its display.
The food stamp change due appears at the left of the display in dollars and the cash change at the right in cents.
• When you sell only items eligible for food stamp payment.

Example

Your customer purchases a $4.25 item (dept.4, taxable 1, eligible for food stamp payment)
and another $4.00 item (PLU 34, taxable 2, eligible for food stamp payment) and tenders
$10.00 food stamps for them.

2 How to program alphanumeric characters
You can program alphanumeric characters for departments, PLUs, UPCs, functions, etc. while in the character
entry mode.
There are two ways for programming characters: using character keys on the keyboard and entering character
codes with the numeric keys on the keyboard.

Using character keys on the keyboard
Enter a character according to the position in the programming keyboard layout.

Entering alphanumeric characters
To enter a character, simply press a corresponding character key.
To enter a numeric character, press (NUM) key and enter a number by ten keys (0 – 9).
(NUM) ➞ 135 ➞ (NUM)
[Ex.] Entering the character “135” :
To enter a space, press the / key.

Entering double-size characters

: This key toggles the double-size character mode and normal-size character mode. The default is the
normal-size character mode. The double-size character is displayed with the letter “=” (ex. =S).
[Ex.] To program the name “SHARP” in double size : Î ➞ SHARP ➞ Î

Entering lower-case letters

: You can enter a lower-case letter by using this key. Press Ó key just before you enter the lower-case
letter. This key also allows you to enter the characters/symbols shown at the upper right of keys.
[Ex.] To program the name “Sharp” : ➞ S ➞ Ó ➞ harp ➞ Ó

Entering symbols shown at the upper left of keys

é:

You can enter symbols by using this key. Press é key just before you enter the symbol.
[Ex.] To program the symbol “ cl cl ” : ➞ é ➞ cl ➞ é ➞ cl

˜
key. If the combination is unavailable, only a character key is entered. [Ex.] “Å” : ➞ (°) ➞ A

Editing text
You can edit the text you have entered by deleting characters.

 : Backs up the cursor for deleting the character or figure at the left of the cursor.
Entering character codes
Numerals, letters and symbols are programmable by entering the º key and character codes. See the
“Alphanumeric character code table” on the next page. In this way, you can program characters other than the
characters shown in the programming keyboard layout.
XXX ➞ º

Note

XXX: Character code (3 digits)

• Double-size characters can be made by entering the character code 253.

Sign (plus/minus)
• Assign a plus sign to departments for normal sales transactions.
• Assign a minus sign to departments for minus transactions.
Food stamp status
• Assign a food stamp status (food stamp eligible or food stamp ineligible) to each department.
Tax status (taxable 1 thru 4/non-taxable)
• When an entry of a taxable department is made in a transaction, tax is automatically computed
according to the associated tax table or rate.
• Tax 4 is prohibited if you use the food stamp function.
Item validation printing
If item entries must be validated, program corresponding departments for compulsory validation
printing.
Tare table number
Tare table number associated with scale entry (1 thru 9).
Scale entry
Program a department for scale entry when your store requires items to be sold by weight and are
placed on a scale connected to the register.
Registration type
• If an entry of a department programmed for SICS is made first, the sale will be finalized as soon
as the department key is pressed. If the entry is made after entering a department not
programmed for SICS, the sale will not be finalized until the Ç key is pressed.
• Whenever a sale is made to a department programmed for SIF, the sale is finalized as soon as
the department key is pressed.
Department type
You may program each department as one of the following three types.
• Bottle Return (BR)
• Hash department
A hash department is used to enter the amount of a special “sale”, such as a gift certificate sale or
for the receipt of payment for utility bills, theatre tickets, etc., i.e. “non-sales” registrations. Any
amounts entered in this department are not added to the grand total except tax amounts.
• Normal department.

To program a tax table, first make a table like the right table shown above.
From the tax table, calculate the differences between a minimum break point and the next one (A). Then, from
the differences, find irregular cycles (B) and regular cycles (C and D). These cycles will show you the following
items necessary to program the tax table:
T:
Q:
M1:
M2:
M:

The tax amount collected on the minimum taxable amount (Q)

The maximum value of the minimum breakpoint on a regular cycle (C).
We call this point “MAX point.”

We call this point “MAX point.”
Range of the minimum breakpoint on a regular cycle: difference between Q and M1 or between M1 and

Repeat until the MAX point is entered.

*1 First figure:

The first figure to be entered depends upon whether the difference between a minimum
breakpoint to be entered and the preceding minimum breakpoint is not less than $1.00 or
more than 99¢. When the difference is not less than $1.00, enter “1,” and when it is not more
than 99¢, enter “0” or nothing.
Second figure: The second figure depends upon whether your tax table is to be programmed as tax table 1,
2, 3 or 4. When your tax table is to be programmed as tax table 1, enter “1”; when it is to be
programmed as tax table 2, enter “2”; when it is to be programmed as tax table 3, enter “3”;
and when it is to be programmed as tax table 4, enter “4”.
*2 If the rate is fractional (e.g. 4-3/8%), then the fractional portion (3/8) would be converted to its decimal
equivalent (i.e. .375) and the resulting rate of 4.375 would be entered. Note that the nominal rate (R) is
generally indicated on the tax table.

Note

If you make an incorrect entry before entering the M in programming a tax table, cancel it with the

c key; and if you make an error after entering the M, cancel it with the ı key.

• Limitations to the entry of minimum breakpoints
Your register can support a tax table consisting of no more than 72 breakpoints. (The number of breakpoints is
36 maximum when the breakpoint difference is $1.00 or more.) If the number of breakpoints exceeds the
register’s table capacity, then the manual entry approach should be used.

4 Programming for departments
Your machine is equipped with 20 (ER-A410)/10 (ER-A420) standard departments and a maximum of 99
departments. Your machine allows you to perform the following programming for each department.

Functional programming 1

PGM 2

2110

Direct

You can set each department for:
Item validation printing
If item entries must be validated, program corresponding departments for compulsory validation printing.
Tare table number
Tare table number associated with scale entry (1 thru 9)
Scale entry
Program a department for scale entry allowed when your store needs automatic scale entries.
Registration type
• If an entry of a department programmed for SICS is made first, the scale will be finalized as soon as the
department key is pressed. If the entry is made after entering a department not programmed for SICS, the
sale will not be finalized until the Ç key is pressed.
• Whenever a sale is made to a department programmed for SIF, the sale is finalized as soon as the
department key is pressed.
Department type
You may program each department as one of the following three types.
• Bottle Return (BR)
• Hash department
A hash department is used to enter the amount of a special “sale”, such as a gift certificate sale or for the
receipt of payment for utility bills, theatre tickets, etc., i.e. “non-sales” registrations. Any amounts entered in
this department are not added to the grand total except tax amounts.
• Normal department

Note

If your register has been set for “Bottle return and Hash dept.” by your dealer, you cannot program
the department for those operations. So contact your dealer if you need them.

Type of unit price entry
You may select one of the following four types of unit price entry for each department.
• Open and preset
• Preset only
• Open only
• Inhibit department key

5 PLU/UPC programming
Your machine has two kinds of PLU registration methods.
Direct PLU registration: Accomplished by pressing item key (direct PLU key) directly.
Indirect PLU registration: Accomplished by making an entry of PLU code and pressing the PLU/
UPC key.
In this manual, the word “UPC” represents UPC (Universal Product Code) and the word “EAN” represents EAN
(European Article Number).
With regard to the UPC codes available to this register, please refer to the chapter 13 in “Job-Code-Based
programming”.
Each PLU/UPC requires you to program the following:
PLU/UPC code (PLU: max. 5 digits, UPC: 6 to 13 digits)
Associated department
When a PLU/UPC is associated with a department, the following functions of the PLU/UPC depend on the
programming for the corresponding department.
• Type (Bottle return/Hash/Normal)
• Single item cash sale/Single item finalization
• HALO (for “Open” type)
• Item validation print compulsory/non-compulsory
Unit price (max. six digits)
You will usually have unit prices programmed for individual PLUs/UPCs as PLU/UPC unit prices.
If you program unit price “0.00” for a PLU/UPC, you can enter only the selling quantity into the PLU/UPC, i.e.
the PLU/UPC can be used only as a counter.
Base quantity for split-pricing entries – two digits
Program a base quantity for each PLU/UPC dedicated to split-pricing entries.
Type of unit price entry
• If “Preset only” is selected, individual PLU/UPC entries can be made by entering the assigned code and
PLU/
pressing the P
UPC key (or by pressing a direct PLU key without any PLU code entry, or by scanning the UPC
code).
PLU/
• If “Open only” is selected, the P
UPC key must be pressed after the price entry followed by the PLU code and
PLU/
the P
UPC entry (, or the unit price must be entered before pressing a direct PLU key).
• If “Open and preset” is selected, the entries in both “Preset” and “Open” types are available.
• If the delete mode is selected, the corresponding program data for each PLU/UPC is deleted.
• If the prohibit mode is selected, the PLU/UPC code cannot be entered. This mode does not clear the
PLU/UPC program data.
Sign (+/-)
The function of every PLU/UPC varies according to the combination of its sign and its associate
department’s sign as follows:
Sign

You can link a maximum of 10 PLUs to a particular PLU.
Link PLU/UPC link
A PLU/UPC is able to link to any other PLU (e.g. bottle deposit). However, the number of links is a
maximum of 5. Even if more than 5 PLUs are linked, the sixth or higher link is not actualized (ignored).

UPC or EAN code
Your machine can support the following codes:
• UPC-A (Number system character: 0, 2, 3, 4)
• UPC-E
• EAN-8
• EAN-13
• Internal code EAN-8/EAN-13
For the codes used in-store marking, there are two types of PLU type (treated as a code like PLU no.) and NonPLU type (price/quantity information is included in the code).
When a code is non-PLU type, the price/quantity in the code is read for sales entry (in case of quantity, “quantity
multiplys preset unit price” is processed to obtain price.)

READING (X) AND RESETTING (Z)
OF SALES TOTALS
• Use the reading function (X) when you need to take a reading of sales information entered since the last
resetting. You can take this reading any number of times. It does not affect the register’s memory.
• Use the resetting function (Z) when you need to clear the register’s memory. Resetting prints all sales
information and clears the entire memory except for the GT1 thru GT3 and training GT, reset count, and
consecutive number.
• If you want to stop the printing report, turn the mode switch to the MGR position. The symbol (“
”) is
printed.

COMPULSORY CASH/CHECK
DECLARATION
If you want to make the declaration of the cash and check amount in the drawer mandatory before
performing cashier Z reports, please consult your dealer and have your register programmed for
compulsory cash/check declaration.
If your register is programmed for compulsory cash/check declaration (CCD), a cashier must first count and
declare the cash and check amounts (of domestic and foreign currency) in the drawer, before he or she can
performing a cashier report. The procedure for outputting a CCD report is shown below.
Types of compulsory cash/check declarations
• Compulsory declaration prior to individual cashier resetting
• Compulsory declaration prior to full cashier resetting
• Compulsory cash/check declaration is available in the above two types. You can choose either of
these. Please consult your dealer for further details.
• When the cash/check declaration is compulsory, flash reports are not available.

Note

Key operation
After the Ç key is pressed, the register prompts the cashier to input the cash and check accounts for both
domestic and foreign currency. The cashier can simply input the total amounts of each currency unit, or the
number of bills or coins of each denomination of each currency unit.

OPERATOR MAINTENANCE
1 In case of power failure
When power is lost, the machine retains its memory contents and all information on sales entries.
• When a power failure is encountered in register idle state or during an entry, the machine returns to the normal
state of operation after power recovery.
• When a power failure is encountered during a printing cycle, the register
prints “========” and then carries out the correct printing procedure
after power recovery. (See the sample print.)

2 In case of printer error
If the printer runs out of paper, the printer will hault, “PAPER EMPTY” error will appear on the display, and the
register will start to continuously produce an intermittent beeping tone. Key entries will not be accepted.
Referring to “4. Installing and removing the paper roll” in this chapter, install a new roll paper in the proper
position, then press the c key. The printer will print the power failure symbol and resume printing.
If the print head is up, the printer haults, “HEAD UP” error will appear on the display, and the register will start to
continuously produce an intermittent beeping tone. Key entries will not be accepted. Bring the print head to the
correct position, then press the c key. The printer will print the power failure symbol and resume printing.

3 Thermal printing
Your register prints by means of thermal printing. The print head applies heat to thermal paper which is
chemically treated to change color when heated to a certain level. This creates the printed text.

Cautions in handling the printer
Printing position

Head-up position

176

• If you are not going to use the register for an extended
period of time, pull the print head release lever toward you
so that the print head is set apart from the plate.

ER-A410/A420(SEC)-5

03.12.22 0:23 PM

Page 177

• Avoid the following environments:
Dusty and humid places
Direct sunlight
Iron powder (A permanent magnet and electromagnet are used in this machine.)
• Use the print head release lever only when necessary.
• Never pull the paper when it is in contact with the print head. First release the head with the print head release
lever, and then remove the paper.
• Never touch the surface of the print head.
• Never touch around the print head and the motor during printing or before they have had sufficient time to cool.

Cautions in handling the recording paper (thermal paper)
• Use only the paper specified by SHARP.
• Do not unpack the thermal paper until you are ready to use it.
• Avoid heat. The paper will color at around 70°C.
• Avoid dusty and humid places for storage. Avoid direct sunlight.
• The printed text on the paper can discolor under the following conditions:
Exposure to high humidity and temperature
Exposure to the direct sunlight
Contact with glue, thinner or a freshly copied blueprint
Heat caused by friction from scratching or other such means
Contact with a rubber eraser or adhesive tape
• Be very careful when handling the thermal paper. If you want to keep a permanent record, copy the printed text
with a photocopier.

4 Installing and removing the paper roll
Recording paper specifications
Be sure to use paper rolls specified by SHARP.
The use of any other paper rolls than specified could cause paper jamming, resulting in register malfunction.
Paper specification
Paper width:
1.75 ± 0.02 in. (44.5 ± 0.5 mm)
Max. outside diameter: 3.15 in. (80 mm)
Quality:
Thermal paper
Paper tube:
0.71 in. (18 mm)
• Be sure to set paper roll(s) prior to using your machine, otherwise it may cause a malfunction.
Install the paper roll in the printer. Be careful then to set the roll and cut the paper end correctly.

Note

If the top end of the paper roll is fixed with paste or tape, the paper may lose its color development
ability in the pasted or taped area due to the deterioration of the heat-sensitive color development
component of the paper surface. This may result in nothing appearing at this location when printing
is performed. Therefore, when setting a new paper roll in the machine, be sure to cut off
approximately one revolution (approx. 25 cm long).
