Getting Started ER-380 / ER-380M
Initial Clear
CAUTION: Do not share this information with unauthorized users. Distribute the P Mode
key only to those you may want to perform this function.
The initial clear function allows you to exit any register activity and return to a beginning or
cleared state. Any transaction that is in progress will be exited and totals for that transaction
will not be updated.
Here are some reasons you may want to perform an initial clear:
•
The register is in an unknown state, and you wish to exit the current program or
transaction without following normal procedures.
• You have performed a function that includes a compulsory activity and you wish
to bypass the compulsion.
• An initial clear may be necessary as part of servicing, or troubleshooting.
To Perform an Initial Clear:
1. Unplug the register.
2. Turn the control lock to the P position.
3. Press and hold the key position where the SBTL key is located on the default
keyboard layout.
4. While continuing to hold the SBTL key, plug the register into a power source.
5. The message "INITIAL CLEAR OK!” prints when the initial clear is complete.
