Sam4s ER-180T Series - Tax Percentage Rate Programming

SAM4s ER-180T Operator's & Programming Manual v1.4 Quick Program Guide  19
Tax Percentage Rate Programming
Most sales taxes can be programmed by entering a tax percentage rate. Use the instructons in
this section to set your rate. In some cases you may find that tax that is entered as a
percentage does not follow exactly the tax chart that apply in your area. If this is the case,
you must enter your tax using tax table programming. This method will match tax collection
exactly to the break points of your tax table. See the “Tax Table Programming” on page 50.
Important Note: After you have entered your tax program, test for accuracy by
entering several transactions of different dollar amounts. Carefully check to make sure
the tax charged by the cash register matches the tax amounts on the printed tax chart
for your area. As a merchant, you are responsible for accurate tax collection. If the
cash register is not calculating tax accurately, or if you cannot program your tax
properly from the information in this manual, contact your local SAM4s dealer for
assistance.
If you need to collect separate state and local sales taxes, you can program up to four separate
tax rates.
1. Turn the control lock to the P position.
2. Enter 53 and press the SUBTOTAL key.
3. Enter the tax rate including the decimal in a 5-digit format, i.e. enter 5% as 05.000 or
enter 10 ½ % as 10.500.
4. Enter 0 for an add-on tax, or enter 2 for a value added tax.
5. Enter the numeral that represents the number of the tax, i.e. enter 1 for tax 1, 2 for tax
2, 3 for tax 3 or 4 for tax 4.
6. Press the X/TIME key.
7. If needed, enter the data for another tax rate. Press the CASH/TEND key to end tax
programming. The tax program information will print.
