The MERCURY 130W is an Electronic Tax Register (ETR) machine designed for business support, facilitating sales transactions and tax compliance. It features integrated Wi-Fi connectivity for communication with a Control Unit (CU), enabling seamless data transfer and setup.

Function Description:

The primary function of the MERCURY 130W is to process sales transactions, including single item sales, multiple item sales, and sales involving quantities. It is capable of calculating VAT-inclusive prices and associating sales with specific Product Look-Up (PLU) codes. A key feature is its ability to record buyer's PINs for VAT claims, which is crucial for businesses and customers with VAT obligations. The machine also supports voiding sales, issuing credit notes, and making debit entries. For record-keeping and auditing, it can print copies of receipts.

Important Technical Specifications:

While specific technical specifications like processor speed or memory capacity are not detailed in the provided manual, the device's operational capabilities imply certain underlying features:

• Connectivity: Wi-Fi enabled for connection to a Control Unit (CU). This requires setting up Wi-Fi parameters such as SSID (Wi-Fi name) and password. The device uses a specific IP address (192.168.1.1) for browser-based configuration.
• Input Interface: Features a numeric keypad for entering prices, quantities, PLU codes, and buyer PINs. Dedicated buttons like "STL," "TOTAL," "SH PLU" (or "PRC"), "VD/MODE," "VOID ALL" (or "SH 00"), "QTY," "SH +PY1," "minus," "plus," and "decimal point" are used for various functions.
• Display: The machine has a display that shows status messages (e.g., "STARTED," "cl pin," "01.000," "rCP n," "d 00") and prompts during operation.
• Printing: Equipped with a thermal printer to issue receipts, credit notes, and debit notes, including buyer's PINs and transaction details.

Maintenance Features:

The manual does not explicitly detail maintenance features such as cleaning instructions or troubleshooting guides. However, implicit maintenance aspects include:

• Restarting: The instruction to "Press C button on the machine and restart it" suggests a simple restart mechanism for resolving minor operational issues, particularly after Wi-Fi setup.
• Confirmation Prompts: The device uses prompts like "Press STL key to confirm if the writings are correct" during PIN entry, which helps in verifying data accuracy before finalization, potentially reducing errors that might require corrective actions.
• Error Handling (Implicit): While not explicitly stated, the ability to void sales and issue credit/debit notes serves as a mechanism for correcting transaction errors.
