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.

PRINTER
The printer is a receipt/journal dual station type thermal printer which delivers fast, quiet and high quality
printing. The average life of the printer is approximately 5 million lines.
When opening the printer cover, unlock the printer cover
using the printer cover lock key, and lift up the cover as
shown in the diagram to the right.

Printer cover

Printer lock key

Your register is shipped with the print head release lever
held in the up position by a white shipping 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.
Retainer

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.

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.

PRIOR TO ENTRIES
1 Preparations for entries
Before registrations, insert the operator key into the mode switch and turn it to the REG position and check the
following items:

Receipt and journal paper rolls
If the receipt and journal paper rolls are not set in the machine or there are low rolls, install new ones according
to section “4. Installing and removing the paper rolls” under “OPERATOR MAINTENANCE.”

Receipt ON/OFF function
You can disable receipt printing in the REG mode to save paper using the receipt function. To disable receipt
printing, press the q key in the OP X/Z position. This key toggles the receipt printing status ON and OFF.
To check the receipt printing status, turn the mode switch to the OP X/Z position or press the c key in the REG

Note

Your register will print reports regardless of the receipt state. This means that the receipt roll must
be installed even when the receipt state is “OFF” when taking reports.

Cashier/Server assignment
The ER-A520 requires a cashier to be assigned prior to operational item entries. The ER-A530 enforces that a
server must enter their code into the register. Depending on register settings, it is possible to keep the same
cashier/server code assigned when the same cashier/server is to be used for all transactions within a set period.
As previously mentioned, there are two variants to consider for the display and print of the cashier/server codes.

PLU level shift (for direct PLU)
This shift function can allow access to PLUs on your register without adding additional direct PLU keys. You can
use direct PLUs in five levels by utilizing PLU level shift keys l thru L5 . The level shift key shifts the PLU
level from the other four to the required level. (The normal level is level 1.) You can also shift PLU level by
entering a level number and pressing the PLU level shift number key, ä.
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 (for PLU levels)
If you shift the PLU level while in the automatic return mode, press the desired PLU level shift key before
numeric entries.

You can change a PLU/UPC price among six prices by utilizing the price level shift keys P1 thru P6 , the level
shift key shifts the price level from the other five to the required level. (The normal level is level 1.) You can
also a shift price level by entering level number and pressing the price level shift number key, ¥.
You must program the price level shift mode (i.e. automatic return mode* or lock shift mode**) and the operating
mode to be used for the price level shift (i.e. both REG/MGR modes or MGR mode alone).
* The automatic return mode automatically shifts the PLU/UPC price level back to level 1 after a PLU/UPC shift
entry. You can select whether the price level should return each time you enter one item or each time you
finalize one transaction.
** The lock shift mode holds the current PLU/UPC price level until pressing the price level shift key.
Automatic return mode (for price levels)
If your register has been programmed for the price level shift in the automatic return mode, press a desired price
level shift key before a numeric type entry.

Age verification (Birthday entry)
The age verification function is used for prohibiting the sale of goods (departments, PLUs or UPCs) for certain
aged persons based on a registered birthday.
When a department/PLU/UPC for which a figure other than zero (01 to 99) has been programmed as the age
limitation is entered, a birthday entry must be completed.

Note

• A birthday entry can be performed two or more times at any point during a transaction, however
the last entered birthday remains in effect.
• You can enter the date as far back as 98 years.
[Ex.] When the current year is 2005 : you can enter the year 1907-2005.

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)

Condiment entries (for PLUs)
Your register may be programmed for prompting condiment and preparatory instructions for a menu-item PLU.
Example:
When you enter a menu-item PLU, a prompting message such as “HOWCOOK?” will appear. You must specify
a PLU such as “RARE” to meet a special order of the guest.
In an example of the condiment table show below, it is assumed the condiment table #1 and #4 is assigned to
PLU 210 (item label: STEAK/unit price: $13:00).
When you enter PLU 210, the message “HOWCOOK?” will appear. You are allowed to enter one of the PLU
code, 221, 222 and 223. When you enter PLU 221, “RARE” is registered and the next message “POTATO?” will
appear. When you enter PLU 226, “P.CHIPS” is registered. Then press the a key to end this entry.

Price change function (for PLU/UPCs)
You can use this function when you need to change the unit price or associated department of a PLU/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 PLU/UPC item without entering PGM
mode.
2. Changing a price during a transaction
When a wrong PLU/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, 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 enter 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

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 (keys on the shaded area)
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.

In case of ER-A520, “( )”, “( )”, “( )”, “ ( )”, “( )”, “( )”, “( ° )”, and “( )” keys can be used in combination
ˆ
¨
`
´
´´
˜
with a character key. If the combination is unavailable, only a character key is entered.
[Ex.] “Å” : ➞ (°) ➞ A
To enter a numeric character:
(ER-A520) Press (NUM) key and enter a number by ten keys (0 – 9).
(NUM) ➞ 135 ➞ (NUM)
[Ex.] Entering the character “135” :
(ER-A530) Simply press a corresponding numeric key in the shaded area.
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 (ER-A520 only)

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

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

PROGRAMMING
This chapter illustrates how to program your cash register.

Basic instructions
All the programming items can be programmed by the Job-Code-Based Programming described later.
Also your machine allows you to program some items using the Direct Programming, which does not require
you to enter the job code. However, object keys (shown below) must be allocated on the keyboard. For the keys
not allocated on the keyboard, you cannot use the direct programming.

Note

Group number
You can assign a department to a maximum of nine groups. This programming enables you to take
group sales reports.
Commission group number
A commission group number (0–9, 0: non commission) can be assigned to each department.
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.
• Normal department
• 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.
• Bottle Return (BR)
• Gas department
The gas department enables you calculate the quantity of gas sold in gallon by using a preset unit
price when the sale amount of gas is entered. (quantity of gas = sales amount entered / preset
unit price)
Also gas discount can be automatically applied to the sales. (discount amount = total amount of
gas x reduced unit price for each media; cash/check/charge)
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
HALO (High Amount Lockout)
You can set an upper limit amount (HALO) for each department. The limit is affective for the REG
mode operations and can be overridden in the MGR mode.
• “OP” is the same as O × 10P
For example, presetting 14 ($100.00) here means that amount entries of up to $100.00 are
allowed in the REG mode. When you preset 17, the upper limit amount is 99999.99.

9 Programming for the automatic tax calculation function
Your machine has an automatic tax calculation feature which allows you to program four tax tables to avoid
calculating incorrect tax amounts.
Automatic tax calculations require you to program, in addition to the tax table, the tax status of each pertinent
department, PLU/UPC, and function key.

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 minimum taxable amount
The maximum value of the minimum breakpoint on a regular cycle (C).
We call this point “MAX point.”
The maximum value of the minimum breakpoint on a regular cycle (D).
We call this point “MAX point.”
Range of the minimum breakpoint on a regular cycle: difference between Q and M1 or between M1 and
M2

†

*2
Rate

(0.0001 - 99.9999%)

M

*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. Then program
again from the beginning correctly.

• 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.

You do not need to enter the trailing zeros of the tax rate (after the decimal point) but you do need

• If the tax is not provided for every cent, modify the tax table by setting the tax for every cent in the
following way.
When setting the tax, consider the minimum breakpoint corresponding to unprovided tax to be the same as the
one corresponding to the tax provided on a large amount.

4 Programming for departments
Your machine is equipped with 20 (ER-A520)/10 (ER-A530) 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 (0 thru 9, 0: not used)
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.
• Normal department
• 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.
• Bottle Return (BR)
• Gas department
The gas department enables you calculate the quantity of gas sold in gallon by using a preset unit price when
the sale amount of gas is entered. (quantity of gas = sales amount entered / preset unit price)
Also gas discount can be automatically applied to the sales. (discount amount = total amount of gas x reduced
unit price for each media; cash/check/charge)

Note

If your register has not been set for “Bottle return, Hash and gas 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
The cash register can deal PLU codes and UPC codes.
A PLU code consist of 5-digits number and leading zeros can be applied to the PLU code.
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.

UPC codes are basically codes for barcode reading. With regard to the UPC codes available for this register,
please refer to "Universal Product Code(UPC) or European Article Number(EAN)" in this chapter.
For UPC codes, the cash register has a UPC master file as a standard and a dynamic UPC file as an option.
Normally you use the UPC master file for saving the data programmed for UPC codes by using job numbers.
For the data entered in the UPC learning function mode, which is details in "UPC learning function", is stored in
the dynamic UPC file if your register has (if not, the register stores the data in the UPC master file). With regard
to data stored in the dynamic UPC file, you can edit the data or if necessary you can create programming data in
the dynamic file. The data in the dynamic UPC file can download into the UPC master file.
The phrase of “Dynamic UPC file” is indicated at the right side of job codes for the programming jobs whose
data is stored in the dynamic UPC file.
Your machine provides 2000 PLU/UPC codes as a standard, and a maximum of 15000 PLU/UPC codes.
Each PLU/UPC allows 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.
When your register is allowed to enter multiple prices (up to 6), you can program 6 different prices for one
PLU/UPC code.
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
pressing the PLU/
UPC key (or by pressing a direct PLU key without any PLU code entry, or by scanning the UPC
code).
• If “Open only” is selected, the PLU/
UPC key must be pressed after the price entry followed by the PLU code and
the PLU/
entry
(,
or
the
unit
price
must be entered before pressing a direct PLU key).
UPC
• 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.

The function of every PLU/UPC varies according to the combination of its sign and its associate
department’s sign as follows:

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).

Note

For some items, you can program in two ways: programming an individual PLU code and for a
range of sequential PLU codes. The procedure marked “For each PLU” shows individual PLU
programming. The procedure marked “For a range of PLUs” shows sequential range PLU
programming.

PLU condiment table

PGM 2

2222

2223

The “condiment entry” is intended to guide the operator in making menu entries which require special cooking
instructions. For example, a cashier/server can make such entries as “garnishing potato,” “with salad,” and
“grilling steak rate.” When a cashier/server enters a menu-item PLU to which PLUs for the condiment entry have
been assigned, these orders (such as “garnishing potato”) will be printed on the receipt and conveyed to the
kitchen.
Before you program for the condiment entry, prepare a condiment table. The following shows an example of

Your machine can support the following codes:
• UPC-A (Number system character: 0, 2, 3, 4, 5)
• 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.)

UPC-A
• Number system character: 0
• Number system character: 3
• Number system character: 5
For entry, a full 12 digit number or 11 digit number (omitting the
check digits) must be entered.

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. 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. 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

• 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.

Head-up
position

215

• 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.
• Be very careful when handling the thermal paper. If you want to keep a permanent record, copy the printed text
with a photocopier.
• For the storage of thermal paper, it is recommended to store the paper in a box with a dark and dry
atmosphere of the room temperature 5 to 25°C having no rapid temperature change.

216

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:
2.26 ± 0.02 in. (57.5 ± 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).
