Percent Key Operations
A total of five % functions are available. The %1~%3 keys are located on the default keyboard of
the ER-260EJ/ER-265EJ. Each function is individually programmable to add or subtract, from an
individual item or from a sale total, amounts (coupons) or percentages. You can also program the
percentage key taxable or non-taxable, so that sales taxes are calculated on the net, or the gross
amount of the item or sale. You can also program preset prices or percentages.
The operation examples in this section show the percentage key in a variety of configurations. See
"Function Key Programming" in the "Program Mode Programming" chapter to assign a specific
function to each percentage key.
