There are two types of Accumu-

tors and database accumula-
tors. General accumulator data
appears in the upper right
portion of the display when
Count Total and Transaction
Total are enabled. (See the
Service Manual.) If you are
using the database and have
the accumulators enabled, the
database accumulator data
appears in the bottom portion
of the display.

These are two different accu-
mulators and the totals will not
match unless you clear the
general accumulator before you
start pressing ACCUM. Or, you
can clear the General Accumu-
lator before you recall. Do not
clear your Data Base Accumu-
lators unless you want them
gone.
