Tax programming on the SAM4s ER-5215M

I helped someone on the phone yesterday program the tax rate on his SAM4s ER-5215M cash register yesterday. Pretty easy task when you have the programming manual. But here is a quick guide to programming tax on the SAM4s ER-5215M cash register. In this example I'm going to set tax rate 1 at 8.5% in a simple flat rate tax NO GST and NO VAT like most states sales taxes are set up. If in doubt make sure and check with you state department of revenue of the rate and type of sales tax you should be collecting. Check with your own CPA or bookkeeper as well!

OK here goes

  1. Key To P (program mode)
  2. Enter 8.50000 Press "Tax Shift 1" Press "Cash"
Your done, make sure and turn the key out of P to R and test!

Couple quick notes lets say you wanted to change Tax Rate #2 not 1 then replace "Tax Shift 1" with the "Tax Shift 2" button if Tax 3 then use Tax Shift 3, if tax 4 then use Tax shift 4. Pretty easy huh!

If you tax was 8% your first entry would be 8.00000 or 9.25% it would have been 9.25000 again pretty easy huh!

Keep in mind THIS DOES NOT MAKE A DEPARTMENT OR PLUS TAXABLE IT SIMPLY SETS THE RATE. You must program the tax status of a group or PLU to make it taxable or not and that is a different post!

Thanks

It is in the 100 programming. We do offer support for a fee if you need someone to walk you through the process. While it is simple there is enough in the 100 program it could take me a week to explain it all. The ER-5215M was also recently discontinued. SAM4s cash registers
