Programming Tax
Most sales taxes can be programmed by entering a tax percentage rate. However, in some cases
you may find that tax that is entered as a percentage does not follow exactly the tax chart that apply
in your area. If this is the case, you must enter your tax using tax table programming. This
method will match tax collection exactly to the break points of your tax table. See “Tax Table
Programming” on page 67.
Important Note: After you have entered your tax program, test for accuracy by entering
several transactions of different dollar amounts. Carefully check to make sure the tax
charged by the cash register matches the tax amounts on the printed tax chart for your area.
As a merchant, you are responsible for accurate tax collection. If the cash register is not
calculating tax accurately, or if you cannot program your tax properly from the information in
this manual, contact your local SAM4s dealer for assistance.
