The Main Power Switch
The main power switch is located on the right-hand side of the SX-585.
The switch must be in the ON position before the ECR is operational.
The customer display screen can be lifted and rotated for the best viewing angle.
By programmable option, the control lock position can be temporarily displayed and
a warning tone sounded each time the key position is changed.
The Cash Drawer
A delay can be set so that if the drawer is left open for more than a
designated number of seconds, an alarm will sound.
It is possible to program the ECR so that it cannot be used for transactions
when the drawer is open.
Whenever the ECR is not in use (i.e. at night), the control lock should be
turned to the „L‟ position and the cash drawer emptied & left open to avoid
damage in the event of a break in.
The control lock allows you to change between the various functions on the till. The
till is equipped with nine positions. To change the position use the owner‟s key
(marked with [OW]), manager‟s key (marked with [MA]) and the operator‟s key
(marked with [OP])
OP : Key for Operator can access "L" and "R" positions
MA : Key for Manager can access "P1", "L", "R", " X1", "V" and "Z1" positions.
OW: Key for Owner can access all key positions
The following table shows the modes the cash register is equipped with.

READ AND RESET THE SALES INFORMATION
The cash register is designed to maintain totals of all transaction data. Transaction
data is maintained in the memory of the cash register as long as the system is
plugged in and/or the battery back-up system is in effect. This data can be obtained
in the "X1","X2","Z1" or "Z2" positions. The reading for the Management Reports is
the same whether it is taken in the "X" or "Z" positions. The only difference is that the
totals are reset to zero after a "Z" is taken.
X1 Position and X2 Position
There are two types of report that can be taken in the "X" position
"X1" - Commonly known as a "mid-day" reading. This prints an accumulation of
transaction data and is not reset to zero unless a "Z1" report is taken. Use this
position to print periodic readings of transaction data during the course of the day.
The “X1” Report can be taken simply by turning the Key to the “X1” Position and
pressing the
"X2" - Commonly known as a "mid-week" or "mid-month" reading. This prints an
accumulation of transaction data and is not reset to zero unless a "Z2" report is
taken. Use this position to print periodic reading of transaction data during the
course of several days. The “X2” Report can be taken simply by turning the Key to

Z1 Position and Z2 Position
There are two types of reports that can be taken in the "Z" position
"Z1"- Commonly known as an "end-of-day" reading. This prints transaction data and
resets all transaction totals to zero except the non-resettable ground total (NRGT).
The machine will, however, still accumulate totals in memory until a "Z2" report is
taken. The “Z1” Report can be taken by turning the Key to the “Z1” Position and
pressing
"Z2" - Commonly known as a "weekly" or "monthly" reading. This prints transaction
data either on a weekly or monthly basis and resets all transaction totals to zero
except the Non-resettable ground total (NRGT). The “Z2” Report can be taken
simply by turning the Key to the “Z2” Position and pressing
NOTE: If you do not have a pre-programmed Full Report button on your Keyboard
