The initial clear function allows you to exit any register activity and return to a beginning or cleared
state. Any transaction that is in progress will be exited and totals for that transaction will not be
updated.
Here are some reasons you may want to perform an initial clear:
• The register is in an unknown state, and you wish to exit the current program or transaction
without following normal procedures.
• You have performed a function that includes a compulsory activity and you wish to bypass
the compulsion.
• An initial clear may be necessary as part of servicing, or troubleshooting.
To Perform an Initial Clear - program restart:
1. Unplug the register.
2. Turn the control lock to the S position.
3. Press and hold the CASH key on the default keyboard layout.
4. While continuing to hold the CASH key, plug the register into a power source.
5. The message "****** INITIAL CLEAR ******” prints when the initial clear is
complete.
