Program your SAM4s ER-5215M Cash Register Tax Rate

Here is how you program the tax rate on his SAM4s ER-5215M cash register. Easy task when you have the programming manual. In the manual this is on page 90. But here is a quick guide to programming tax on the SAM4s ER-5215M cash register. In this example I'm going to set tax rate 1 at 8.5% in a simple flat rate tax NO GST and NO VAT like most states sales taxes are set up. If in doubt make sure and check with you state department of revenue of the rate and type of sales tax you should be collecting. Check with your own CPA or bookkeeper as well!

OK here goes

  1. Key To P (program mode)
  2. Enter 8.50000 Press "Tax Shift 1" Press "Cash"
Your done, make sure and turn the key out of P to R and test!

Couple quick notes lets say you wanted to change Tax Rate #2 not 1 then replace "Tax Shift 1" with the "Tax Shift 2" button if Tax 3 then use Tax Shift 3, if tax 4 then use Tax shift 4. Pretty easy huh!

If you tax was 8% your first entry would be 8.00000 or 9.25% it would have been 9.25000 again pretty easy huh!

Keep in mind THIS DOES NOT MAKE A DEPARTMENT OR PLUS TAXABLE IT SIMPLY SETS THE RATE. You must program the tax status of a group or PLU to make it taxable or not and that is a different post!

remember do this at your own risk. If you need help seek out a cash register company but be pre-pared a few bucks for their help!
Thanks

I have a problem with canceling a Clerk interupt transaction. When I go back to the original transaction can I cancel it if the interupting clerk completed the sale?

Dave said...

Jeff you had to dig deep to come up with that questions! LOL

I think the answer is yes after the transaction that interupted is over you should be back in the transaction you were in so the cancel button should be an option at that time. Sorry my demo machine is not programmed with that option so I could not test. Sorry could not be of more help SAM4s Cash Registers

Hi Dave,

I am trying to program a plu key for tax rate N1 (on a Sam4s ER5200M). However, I am totally confused by the instructions. There is no N1 key, If I just press 1 nothing happens and all tax shift keys result in an error. I'm sure this is simple but, what am I missing? Thanks for any help you can offer.

Wendy you enter a number for the value you want is N1 etc. For example look at page 100 for the values you would enter for each of the NX data. For Tax one you would enter 4 for the value of N1 If an item was Taxable by rate 1 and everything else was the same you would enter 100000000 the press X/Time

Hope that helps.

Ray to program a discount on a SAM4s ER-5215M cash register look on page 141 program 70 the data in most cases would be n1=0, n2=0, n3=0, n4=0, n5=0, n6=0 that will set up the discount to be preset, item, non taxable. Adjust the data as needed. Note:See “Program 90 Instructions
for %1-%5 Keys” on page 143 to set the value for the percentage or amount.

hi dave, i'm having troubl with my ER-5240M. I'm trying to program tax rate onto my 5240m and i've followed every instruction on the manuel but it hasnt helped me at all because when i hit the tax shift button it goes into error. I've tried everthing but if you can help me solve this problem it would be awesome. Thanks!

Dave said...

Eia, hard to say what the problem is with more detail. Could be you don't have the key in Pgm Mode, could be that you are still in the middle of a transaction in the R mode? Could be you are entering something wrong. Post again with the tax rate you are trying to set and I'll post the key by key instructions

Hi i bought a er 180 but have trouble to program this mashine i want to just press a key for like instans a hamburger and then like coke or chips how do i do that please help

Dave said...

That is very easy on that register. You have buttons and you program a pre-set price and a descriptor (180T Only) for each item, other programmable items include tax status and group link. Your dealer should help with that programming.

Is it possible to change the way vat is printed on a receipt. At present it says TAX1 on all receipts but customers are questioning this. Can it be changed to say VAT?

Dave said...

well look on page 150 of the manual and you will find this

Program 701 - Financial Report Descriptor Programming
The Financial Report selection allows you to reprogram the descriptors that appear with the Financial
Report totals and counters. For example, the first total on the financial report "+PLU TTL" represents
the total of all positive PLU entries. You might wish to re-label this total to say "FOOD SALES".
You can reprogram any of the Financial Report totals listed here with any 12-character descriptor.
1. Turn the control lock to the P position.
2. To begin the program, enter 7 0 1, press the SBTL key.

3. Refer to the chart on the next page and enter the number that represents the line you wish
to program; press the X/TIME key.

4. Enter up to 18 three-character codes and press the X/TIME key. (See “Descriptor Code
Chart” on page 102.)

5. Press the CASH key to finalize the p

Not sure if that will change it on the receipt though so you will have to try it out and see.
