76 • S-Mode Programming
ER 5200/5240 Electronic Cash Register
Clearing Memory
Before you use your ER-5200/5240 for the first time, you must perform a memory all clear to insure
that all totals and counters are cleared and that the default program is installed.
CAUTION: The procedures described in this area are security sensitive. Clearing the
ER-5200/5240 memory after the register is put into service will erase all programming as well as
totals and counters. Do not share this information with unauthorized users and distribute the
special SERVICE-Mode key only to those you may want to perform these functions.
Memory All 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 S position.
3. Press and hold the key position where the CHECK key is located on the default keyboard
layout.
4. Continue to hold the CHECK key while turning the power switch to the ON position.
5. Press the upper left key of the keyboard, then the lower left key, then the upper right key,
and finally press the lower right key.
6. After a short delay, the printer will print the message: "RAM ALL CLEAR OK !"
Memory is cleared and the default program is installed.
Caution: After memory is cleared, the default program will set the register in the 15 key
configuration. If you are using 40 NLU keys, see “ER-5240 Keyboard Expansion” on page 82 to
reset the 40 key configuration.
