Displaying the Time  
The current time is displayed in the “AMOUNT” area when the Control Lock is turned to REG from any other  
position. When the Control Lock position is changed or any entry operation starts, the displayed time  
disappears.  
Time Display Format:  
(Example: 1:45 p.m.)  
Printing the Time and Date  
The current time is printed on every receipt, as the bottom line (refer to the Receipt Print Format on the  
preceding page). The time can be programmed to non-print, if necessary, by a System Option selection  
(refer to Chapter “16. System Option Setting”, Address 1 - Bit 1 on page 71).  
The date is printed on every receipt, as the top line below the Store Name Stamp print (refer to the Receipt  
Print Formaton the preceding page). The quickest way to verify the date print with the Control Lock in REG  
position is to issue a receipt of any transaction (for example, a No-sale receipt).  
10. Tax Table Setting  
For details about the actual tax table, contact to the location where the register was purchased.  
U.S. Tax Tables Setting (also applicable to PST in Canada)  
There are three ways to set state and local tax tables. Select one that suits the tax table required to be set.  
Condition: After Daily Financial Reset  
NOTE on “Condition”:  
Unless the register satisfies this condition, the programming operations will not be allowed.  
“After ... Reset” means that the designated reset report must be taken before entering the  
programming (setting) operation. An error will result if the operation is attempted without taking the  
report.  
However, it does not necessarily mean “immediately after ...” When the designated reset report  
has already been taken and then some operations are performed in the “X”, “Z”, or “SET” mode,  
the condition “After ... Reset” is still satisfied and the programming operation is still allowed.  
On the contrary, when the designated reset report has been taken but then some sales data  
relating to that report’s output data are entered in the “REG” mode, the programming operation will  
no longer be allowed and the same reset report must be taken again.  
Thus the condition “After ... Reset” indicates that all the sales data relating to the report data must  
be zero (except non-resettable memory data). Because of this “Condition” requirement, the report  
data will be protected from any inconsistencies of sales data entered in the period from a resetting  
of the report to another resetting of the same report next time. When no condition is specified to  
a programming (setting) operation, it means that the operation is allowed any time outside a sale  
but the cashier must be signed off if the Cashier Signing Method is selected.

For Tax 2 table setting in a multi-tax area, follow the same procedure in 1), 2), or 3) above,  
using the [TX2/M] key instead of [TX1/M]. To install the [TX2/M] key on the keyboard, refer  
to Chapter “11. Optional Key Setting” on page 21.

If two tax tables are to be set, the Tax 1 table must be set first. The Tax 1 table setting will

When the sum of the sale portion subject to Tax (PST) 1 and the sale portion subject to Tax  
(PST) 2 exceeds the Non-taxable Limit Amount programmed here, all the amount subject to  
either of the two taxes are all taxed. When the sum is less than the programmed limit, Tax 1  
is tax-exempted and only Tax 2 is calculated on the sale portion subject to Tax 2.  
When the sum of the sale portion subject to Tax (PST) 1 and the sale portion subject to Tax  
(PST) 2 is negative, the portion subject to Tax 1 will not be taxed.  
When the sale portion subject to Tax 1 is tax-exempted, the taxable amount is not stored in  
Tax 1 memory.  
An error results when the [GST/M] key is depressed in sale entries on the ECR with Non-

11. Optional Key Setting  
This chapter introduces optional keys (keys not installed on the current Standard Keyboard) that can be  
programmed. Please note, however, that adding an optional key means to sacrifice another key already  
installed. If you plan to install any of the Optional Keys or change locations of any of the current keys, this  
operation must be performed first before any other programming or setting operation (refer to NOTE 9 at  
the end of this chapter).  
List of Keys  
The following is the list of the all the keys that can be programmed on the keyboard. Numeric Keys 0 to 9  
are fixed as to their locations, therefore, not included in the list. The “Key Code” assigned to each key in  
the lists used in the setting procedure next page. For detail functions and operations of each key, refer to  
Chapter “14. Setting Preparation of Each Key and Transaction Entries” on page 27. For a brief  
information of the Optional Keys, refer to NOTE 8 at the end of this chapter.  
............ Keys that must be installed as minimum requirement  
............ Keys that are already installed on the Standard Keyboard  
............ Optional Keys  
(All those keys, not only the Optional Keys, can be eliminated or changed as to their locations on the  
keyboard. However, please do not eliminate the keys of minimum requirements.)

The [#/NS] key has both [#/CID] and [NS] functions. Therefore, when [#/NS] is installed,  
neither [#/CID] nor [NS] are necessary. (At least, either [#/NS] or [#/CID] must be installed.)  
To designate the SFKC 100 for the [TAX] key (Manual Tax), operate the keys [1] → [0] →  
[0]. In this case, the [00] key is unavailable.  
The [DPT SHIFT] key designates the Department Nos. 21 to 40, using the Department keys  
1 to 20.  
When the Cashier Signing Method is selected, this key must be installed. If this optional  
function is not selected, this key merely functions as Receipt ON/OFF key.

If Key Installation Setting is operated for the first time, all the keys are already set as in the  
Standard Keyboard Layout. Therefore, set only the keys that are to be changed as to their  
locations or newly installed.  
If a wrong code has been entered and the key has also been depressed (i.e.,a wrong code  
has been set on a key), enter the correct code and depress the key. The code entered last  
will be effective.

If “0” is entered as Key Code, the key will be dead and its memory will also be closed.  
Each of the keys programmed in this operation will have its memory (if any) opened  
automatically.

The [C] key, if once set with Key Code 95, may be used to clear an error , but it cannot be used  
immediately after a Key Code entry (for the purpose of clearing the wrong Key Code error).  
If any Key Code is entered and then the [C] key is depressed, that Key Code will be set on  
the key that was once the [C] key.

On depressing the final [AT/TL] key, “0.00” is displayed in the AMOUNT portion , indicating

14. Setting Preparation of Each Key and Transaction  
Entries  
This chapter describes individual key operations on transaction entries, and setting requirements for the  
key if necessary.  
WARNING!  
When opening the cash drawer, be careful not to let the drawer hit any person.  
LOG  
RECEIPT  
Receipt-issue/Non-issue Selection  
(Log/Receipt Key)  
Receipts are issued or not issued according to the “R OFF” triangular lamp illuminated/extinguished status  
on the Operator Display panel.  
LOG  
RECEIPT  
Illuminated (Receipt OFF status)  
LOG  
RECEIPT  
Extinguished (Receipt ON status)  
NOTES: 1. The Control Lock may be in any position (except OFF position) for changing the Receipt ON/OFF  
status in the signed-ON or signed-OFF condition.  
2. The “R OFF” lamp status at the starting of a transaction entry decides whether a receipt will be  
issued for the transaction or not. Switching the Receipt ON/OFF status during a transaction will not  
be effective.  
3. This operation is effective only when the Receipt-format Option has been selected. When the  
Journal-format Option has been selected, journal printing will occur regardless of any “R OFF”  
lamp status.  
- 27 -  
 
EO1-11115  
MA-186-100 SERIES  
4. If a transaction entered with the “R OFF” lamp illuminated and finalized but a receipt is required,  
the [RECEIPT ISSUE] (Post-issue Receipt) key can be operated to issue a receipt (see “Post-  
issue Receipt” on page 55).  
5. Simply depress the [LOG/RECEIPT] key without a numeric entry. If the key is depressed with a  
prior numeric entry in REG mode, it may turn out to be a Sign ON or Sign OFF operation (refer to  
Chapter 17 on page 82).  
Clearing Errors, or Clearing Wrong Declaration  
Key or Wrong Numeric Entries  
C
(Clear Key)  
When in sale entries an error has occurred with an alarm buzzer (beeps for about 2 seconds only), a wrong  
Declaration Key (such as [RTN MDSE], [TX/M], [GST/M], etc.) has been depressed, or a wrong numeric  
data has been entered; depress the [C] key.  
1) Error has occurred (the alarm  
buzzer is generated and the  
“ALM” lamp illuminates), and  
the keyboard is locked.  
The error condition is cleared (the  
buzzer tone stops and the “ALM” lamp is  
extinguished). Find the cause of the er-  
ror, and do the operation again. Refer to  
“Possible Cause of Error” attached

NOTES: 1. The tax tables of “Tax 1”, “Tax 2”, and “GST” should be programmed in Chapter “12. Tax Table  
Setting” on page 20. Those tax tables will become effective in REG mode for adding the taxes to  
saleitemsenteredthroughaDepartmentKeysonlywhentheDepartmentKeyisprogrammedwith  
taxable status for the required tax in this operation.  
2. Every time each of the [RTN MDSE], [TX1/M], [TX2/M], and [GST/M] keys in this operation is  
pressed, the preset status is reversed. For example, if a Department Key is already set with “Tax  
1 Taxable” status and the [TX1/M] key is pressed during the setting sequence of that Department  
Key, it is now set with “Tax 1 Non-taxable” status. If [TX1/M] is again pressed, “Tax 1 Taxable”  
status is again obtained.  
3. The tax (PST) status obtained (as the result of [TX1/M] and/or [TX2/M] depressions) can  
be verified by reading the numeric value displayed in the rightmost digit of the AMOUNT  
portion when the individual Department Key is pressed. Similarly, the Key Type status is  
displayed in the 2nd digit (next to the rightmost digit).

3: Both Tax 1 & Tax 2 Taxable  
4: Other Income (Itemized)  
5:OtherIncome(Single-item)  
(These status codes are also printed on the program receipt issued when the final [AT/TL]  
key is pressed; refer to the Receipt Format on next page.)  
4. The Negative/Positive status and GST status can only be verified on the program receipt (refer  
to next page) but not in the display. If a wrong status has been set, correct it by performing the  
programming operation again.  
5. If a Department Key is set with Negative status, an amount entered through that key will be  
subtracted from the sale total. It may be used for item entries of coupons, returned bottles, etc.  
6. Key Type Description.  
Itemized Key:  
When a sale item amount is entered through this key, the sale is not  
finalized until a media key (such as [AT/TL]) is operated. Other items can  
be entered within one sale receipt sequence.  
Single-item Key:  
A sale item entry through this key will automatically finalize the sale as  
cash outside a sale (i.e. when no other items have been entered within  
one receipt sequence). However, it will function just as an Itemized Key  
if operated inside a sale.  
Other Income Key: It is used to enter items which do not directly become sales for the store,  
such as lottery, postage, gift wrapping fee, size adjustment fee, utility  
(payment of electricity and gas), and donation.  
7. To set the Department Nos. 21 to 40 (No. printed on the upper side of a Department Key Sticker),  
depress the [DPT SHIFT] key before depressing a [DEPT] key.  
ex.) To set the Department No. 21, operate [DPT SHIFT], then [DEPT 1].

PLU  
(PLU Key)  
PLU (Price-Look-Up) (PLU Key)  
A “PLU” is an individual merchandise item programmed with its own item code (PLU Code), its link  
department (and mostly with a Preset Price). By programming PLUs, you can enter an individual item by  
entering its PLU Code (which should be written on the price tag of the item), instead of entering the price  
through a Department Key. By taking PLUs Reports, you can analyze the sales data of each individual item.  
A maximum of 500 PLUs can be programmed.

NOTES 1. When sequentially programming the PLUs, the code specification can be omitted. When it is  
omitted at the very first PLU, PLU Code “1” is automatically assigned.  
2. An Open-price PLU always requires a price entry through Numeric Keys in sale entries, and may  
be used for an item that frequently changes its price.  
3. The statuses (Positive/Negative Status, Tax (PST) 1 & 2 Status, GST Status, and Key Type  
Status) of each PLU is decided by the statuses of the statuses of the Department to which the PLU  
is linked.  
4. When a PLU is linked to an Other Income Department, an entry of the PLU in a sale will cause an

15. Read and Reset Reports  
This chapter describes the operation to take each report and its contents. The report function is one of the  
most beneficial features of this register. As sales data are entered, the register processes the data into  
appropriate totals and counters in the report memory. The reports are not only a form of sales data records  
but will also be a valuable guide to a more prosperous future of your store if you fully utilize and analyze  
them.  
Programming Operations Relating to Reports  
Programming Hourly Range Table  
The “Hourly Sales Report” is available as part of the report function. However, sales data entered in REG  
mode are processed into Hourly Ranges only after programming an Hourly Range Table. If yolu have  
startedoperationsontheregisterwithoutthisprogrammingoperationperformed, the“HourlySalesReport”  
cannot be taken (an error will result on attrempt to take this report). The Hourly Sales Report table must  
be programmed in order to obtain Hourly Sales Reports during operations.  
Condition: After Hourly Sales Reset

Selecting Print/Non-print Items on Reports  
The following table shows the items on reports that can be programmed to be printed or non-printed  
according to your store’s requirements. For further details of programming, refer to Chapter “16. Sys-  
tem Option Setting” on page 69. If you have started operations on the register without this program-  
ming operation performed, print or non-print status of each item is determined by the “Initial Status” in  
the following table. It is recommended, therefore, to change Print/Non-print status of each item after  
once taking all the reports.

Taking Read and Reset Reports  
Fundamental Concepts of Various Types of Reports  
Four types of Reports are available in connection with the Control Lock positions and the periods of data  
accumulation:  
Daily Read Report:  
Daily Reset Report:  
It can be issued at any time and any number of times during the day. It  
allows to read the sales data recorded up to the moment since the  
corresponding Reset Report was issued yesterday. Taking this type of  
report will not affect any sales data in the report memory.  
ThecontentsandformatarethesameastheDailyReadReport. However,  
it should be issued only once at the end of the day usually after closing the  
store. It is the “final” report that should be kept in file. Taking this type of  
report will clear all the resettable totals and counters in the report memory  
after the report is issued.  
Periodical Read Report: It can be issued at any time and any number of times during a certain  
period defined by the sotre (one week, one month, etc.). Thus it allows to  
read the sales data accumulated up to the moment since the correspond-  
ing Reset Report was issued last time.  
Periodical Reset Report: The contents and format are the same as the Periodical Read Report.  
However, it should be issued only once at the end of the defined period as  
the “final” report and be kept in file. Taking this type of report will clear all  
the resettable totals and counters in the report memory after the report is  
issued.  
In addition, Read Reports (Daily or Periodical) are called “X” reports since the reports are taken with the  
Control Lock positioned to “X” and the header “X” is printed. Reset Reports (Daily or Periodical) are called  
“Z”reports, takenwiththeControlLockpositionedto“Z”, printingtheheader“Z”. PleasealsonotetheReset  
Report Counter is printed on each Reset (Z) Report only. By this counter, you are sure that no illegal Reset  
Reports were taken between the one taken at the end of yesterday and the one taken now.  
CAUTION : WheneveryouturntheControlLockto“Z”position, besurethatyouaretakingResetReports(final  
reports) and that the sales data will be cleared by the operation to follow.  
WARNING!  
When opening the cash drawer, be careful not to let the drawer hit any person.  
Report Taking Operation  
Before taking a report, be certain to confirm that the “R OFF” lamp is extinguished when the Receipt-format  
option has been selected. If it is illuminated, press the [LOG/RECEIPT] key to extinguish the lamp.

NOTES: 1. Do not program any Bit No. shaded and filled with “vacant” in the Address tables on the following  
pages. If programmed, performance of the register will not be guaranteed.  
2. The Initial Status of each Bit is indicated by a dotted frame such as:  
If you have never changed the Bit statuses in the Address before, the Initial Status is active.  
Therefore, onlytheBitstatuschangesoftherequiredAddresses maybeentered. IfanAllMemory  
Clear is operated (refer to Chapter “23. Status Clear and Memory Clear Operations” on page  
104), all the Bits in all the Addresses automatically regain the Initial Status.  
Programming Example) To select the following options:  
Address 1 (refer to the next page)  
Bit 1: Time NON-PRINT (SET status)  
Bit 2: Purchased Item Count NON-PRINT (SET status)  
Other Bits are to all RESET (PRINT)

23. Status Clear and Memory Clear Operations  
The operations described in this chapter are provided for initial start-up of the machine or emergency but  
not to be operated as part of daily routines. Do not perform any of these operations unless it is really  
necessary.  
Status Clear  
The operation defined as “Status Clear” will only clear an error or key-locked condition that disables normal  
operations (though it seldom happens). Thus neither the sales data nor the programmed data will be  
cleared by a Status Clear (except that when a Status Clear is operated to clear a key-locked condition  
during a sale, the sale item data already entered for the current sale will be cleared).  
The Status Clear also has the function to obtain the condition “after all sales data resets” (as if all sales data  
had been reset) but will not actually affect any sales data. Such a condition is required in some  
programming operations and is usually obtained by taking the required reset reports. However, when you  
do not want the sales data to be reset because it is still in the business hours,etc., this function of the Status  
Clear will be effective. But be careful in using the function; depending on the programming item, sales data  
resets may really be necessary instead of a Status Clear, to keep consistency between the programmed  
data and the sales data.  
Operating Procedure  
Condition: Any time, outside or during any operation sequence  
Operation: Remove the plug of the register’s power cord from the wall outlet (to turn OFF the power).

If the register becomes completely inoperative due to battery discharge or malfunction of the program  
memory, the All Memory Clear operation must be carried out. When an All Memory Clear is operated, all  
the memory contents that have been stored in the RAM will be cleared (i.e., the programmed data and the  
sales data). Along with the clearing process, the designated zero-amount format is set and “Initial Data”  
and “Initial Status” for respective programming items are automatically set.  
Warning:  
This clear operation deletes all programmed data and sales data stored in the register’s  
memory. (i.e., the register goes back to initial status.)
