ER 5200/5240 Electronic Cash Register
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.
Perform this procedure only as necessary. Contact your SAMSUNG dealer first if you have questions
about operating or programming your Samsung ER-5200/5240.
To Perform an Initial Clear:
1. Turn the power switch located on the right side of the register to the OFF position.
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, turn the power switch to the ON position.
5. The message "INITIAL CLEAR OK!” prints when the initial clear is complete.
