Using Option Tables
Option Tables are used to list all available options which you can use to modify the way an ECR
works. When the Address is only a number, it means each address can be programmed individually.
Each option Address may have one or more (up to 3) sub-options. All 3 options have to be
considered all together. Below is an example from ER-420M / ER-430M System Option #25…
Address SYSTEM OPTION VALUE

In this System Option Address #25, there are 3 options - Descriptor Program Method (Keyboard
overlay or Character code), % is not affect to net sale, and Disable Cash Declaration.
When the factory default program is loaded into the machine after RAM All Clear this address is
set to “Keyboard overlay descriptor program method”, “% is not affect to net sale” and “Cash
declaration is not disabled. So the decisions in the same order are: Yes, Yes and No. The values
which represent the options in the same order are 0, 0 and 0. In this case, a = 0, b = 0, and c = 0 for
each option in same order. Therefore, the “SUM” value for this Address #25 is a + b + c, which is 0.
If Character code descriptor program method happens to be the desired method, you then need to
choose No for the first option. The value of a becomes 1. If the following two options remain the
same (which b and c are both 0), the SUM (a + b + c) value for this address will be 1 + 0 + 0 and 1.
On the other hand, from factory default value (which is 0), if the only change you want to make is to
“Disable Cash Declaration”, you need to choose Yes for this option, the value of c becomes 4, the
first two options (a and b) remain as 0, the SUM value for this address will be 0 + 0 + 4 = 4
So the possible SUM values for this #25 are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 according to your decision. So if
you only want to change to “Use Character Code Descriptor Program Method” (the first example
which SUM value a + b + c = 1), to program that decision into ER-420M / ER-430M:
