Sharp ER-A320 Tax Programming
To program the tax rate on a Sharp ER-A320 follow these instructions:
- With the MA key turn the mode lock to PGM
- Enter 2711
- Press . (decimal)
- Press the @/For Key
- Press 1 (see notes below)
- Press @/For key
- Enter rate. Example if your rate is 8.8% you would enter 88000 as the register will place the decimal point.
- Press the @/For key
- Enter the lowest taxable amount. Example if all sales $0.01 and up are taxable you would enter 1 if however the minimum taxable amount is $0.25 then enter 25 in most places it is $0.01 and up.
- Press the CA/AT key (Cash Key)
Check the print out to make sure the rate is correct. - Make sure and turn the Mode Lock back to REG.
NOTES in step 5 I wrote to enter the number 1. The number 1 in this case is for tax rate 1, the Sharp ER-A320 is capable of 4 tax rates. So enter the number of the tax rate you wish to program. If you needed to program tax rate 3 then you would enter 3 in step 5. If you have to program multiple tax rates just start over after step 10
Thanks

Sharp ER-2386S Tax Programming
The Sharp ER-2386S tax programming is pretty simple when you have a simple flat rate. Tax tables are a different story, but I don’t think anyone uses them any longer. The Sharp ER-2386S is capable of two tax rates, and yes many states and cities have several different rates. So here are the steps
- Turn the mode lock to PGM
- Enter 241
- press . (decimal)
- press 1 for tax rate 1 or 2 for tax rate 2
press the @ - Enter the tax rate as 00.0000 so 8.8% would enter as 88000 or 7% would be 70000 DO NOT PRESS THE DECIMAL KEY, THE PROGRAMMING WILL ADD IT IN THE CORRECT PLACE
- Press the @
- Enter the lowest taxable amount ( I always use 1) so anything above $0.01 will be taxed if a taxable department. If you area is different enter the local minimum amount.
- Press Cash (CA/AT) to finish
- Repeat for tax 1 or 2 as needed.
Remember to return the key to the REG mode before trying.

Thermal Printers vs. Impact Printers
If I was choosing a register or POS printer I would take a thermal printer most every time. There are still applications where an impact printer is useful, for example a kitchen printer where two color print is needed. But for speed, ease of use, and duribilty a thermal printer can not be beaten.
The cost differance is not much between printers, but the offer all cost of ownership is much lower in a thermal printer. Thermal printer do not have the failure rate impact printers have, and the paper is much easier to change.
Oh but you might think thermal paper is to costly right? We yes you are going to have sticker schock the first time you but a case but there are a few things to remember about the price. The first being you do not have to buy ink ribbons, also there is almost always more feet per roll in a thermal roll compared to bond paper.
Hope that helps!
