INTRODUCTION
Thank you very much for your purchase of the SHARP Electronic Cash Register, Model XE-A307.
Please read this manual carefully before operating your machine in order to gain full understanding of
functions and features.
Please keep this manual for future reference. It will help you if you encounter any operational problems.
IMPORTANT
• Be very careful when removing and replacing the printer cover, as the cutter mounted on it is very sharp.
• Install the cash register in a location not subject to direct sunlight, unusual temperature changes, high
humidity or splashing water.
Installation in such locations could cause damage to the cabinet and the electronic components.
• Never install the register in saline areas (e.g.: close to the sea).
Installing the register in such locations could cause component failure with the corrosion.
• Never operate the register with wet hands.
The water could seep into the interior of the register and cause component failure.
• When cleaning your register, use a dry, soft cloth. Never use solvents, such as benzine and/or thinner.
The use of such chemicals will lead to discoloration or deterioration of the cabinet.
• The register plugs into any standard wall outlet (official (nominal) voltage).
Other electrical devices on the same electrical circuit could cause the register to malfunction.
• For protection against data loss, please install two alkaline batteries LR6 (“AA” size) after initializing the
register. When handling the batteries, please observe the following:
Incorrectly using batteries can cause them to burst or leak, possibly damaging the interior of the register.
• RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE.
DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.
• Be sure that the positive (+) and negative (–) poles of each battery are facing in the proper direction
for installation.
• Never mix batteries of different types.
• Never mix old batteries and new ones.
• Never leave dead batteries in the battery compartment.
• Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the register for long periods.
• Should a battery leak, clean out the battery compartment immediately, taking care to avoid letting the
battery fluid come into direct contact with your skin.
• For battery disposal, follow the corresponding law in your country.
• For complete electrical disconnection, disconnect the main plug.
Caution Scanner connection
In order to allow a plug & play connection of the optional scanner the Pin 9 of the D-Sub connector uses
+5V.
Be very careful of this +5V in case connection of a different device should be done sothat a damage of
the register or device is avoided.
