+% and -% Key Programming
There are two percentage keys on the keyboard: +% and -%. The +% key applies a surcharge.
The -% key applies a discount. Without any further programming, you can apply a discount or
surcharge to an individual item or to the subtotal of a sale be entering a percentage and pressing the
+% or -% key. This program allows you to:
 decide to calculate any taxes before or after the percentage is applied
 set a preset percentage for the +% or -% key
 if a preset percentage is set, decide if you wish to also allow a percentage to be entered
 inactivate the key
Programming the +% or -% Key
1. Turn the control lock to the PGM position.

percentage. Press the +% or -% key, depending on which key you are programming.
Be sure to enter the decimal point if you are setting a rate that is not an even
percentage, i.e. enter 33 1/3 % as 3 3 . 333. If you are setting an even percentage, it is
not necessary to enter the decimal point, i.e. enter 50 % as 5 0.

table below by adding the status digits for each tax. Then enter the resulting tax status
