ScannerInstallation

■ Bar-code scanners

The ECR 39T cash register is equipped for operation with bar-code scanners. Bar-code scanners of the type MS 951, MS 6720, MS 7120 and MS5145 can be used, amongst others.

■ Connecting a bar-code scanner

Please connect the scanner to the cash register according to the instructions in the corresponding manual provided by the manufacturer. Pay particular attention to the information on the power supply.

■ Programming a bar-code scanner

In order to operate a bar-code scanner on a ECR 39T, the following parameters must be set on the scanner:

- RS 232 mode, - Transmission rate at 2400 Baud, - 8 data bits, - Even parity, - Carriage return (CR) as termination for the bar-code, - Deactivate line feed (LF).

The following table describes the programming steps necessary to program the MS 95... scanner and the corresponding bar-codes as examples. Please refer to the respective operating manual for information on programming other scanners.

Manual ProgrammingBasic Settings

The ECR 39T cash register can be programmed and, thus, adapted to meet individual requirements. Programming is divided into several areas. The Basic Program (FLAGS) is used to define general settings, such as date format and type of tax rate for example. The Logo Program is used to program information on the trader, welcome and farewell messages. The Name Program can be used to program the names of up to 6 clerks. The Credit-card Program can be used to program up to 9 credit-card names. The Department Program is used allocate prices and assignments to departments. The Price Look-Up Program is used allocate prices and assignments to PLUs. The Tax Rate Program can be used to enter up to four different tax rates. The Currency Conversion Program can be used to enter currency exchange rates.

Manual ProgrammingCurrency Conversion Program

■ Programming currency conversion

Up to fifteen different currencies and their conversion factors can be programmed in order to convert an amount or total sum of a transaction. Programming is performed in two steps; the conversion factor and the number of decimal places for the conversion factor must be defined. Also refer to the Flag Table (FLAG 31).

Note: ✿ Euro in the period 01.01.2002 - 28.02.2002

Local currency = Euro The FCE keys (Foreign Currency Exchange) are programmed as follows:


Activate the currency conversion program 8046434531 Enter the name, e.g. €FCE1 #

The software enables several files to be created in which the individual settings for different cash registers can be stored. It is possible to create cash register instances (ECR INSTANCE) or cash register machines (ECR MACHINE). The ECR instances serve to store general rogramming procedures for different points of sale. Data transfer operations to the cash register are not possible in the case of ECR instances. The ECR instances can be used as a basis for the concrete programming of a real cash register. Firstly, a new file must be created (New), then selected and finally stored containing an individual program routine. A file can be deleted (Delete). Select MENU →FILE →New →ECR INSTANCE

Enter a name in the Name field (max. 8 characters) for the ECR instance to be created and complete the input by clicking on OK. Or Copy an existing ECR instance. To do this, click in the Copy From checkbox and select the required source from the selection list. Conclude the input by clicking OK.
