Hi there, I'm trying to reprogram a Casio TE-4500F by following the operating manual which leaves quite a lot to be desired!
Whilst the manual is fairly helpful, it mentions loads of things without actually telling you how to use them/access the programming on them.

Two things that are particularly bugging me are figuring out how to use the 'Allocatable Functions' listed on page 26 of the manual - there's nothing to say how you allocate any of them to the keys.

Also, some of the non-PLU keys have already had a couple of the 'Allocatable Functions' assigned to them and I'd like to change them.

The second problem is that I'm trying to find out what rate tax rate number 1 is using and also how to then print a VAT receipt off (partly not possible because the default VAT receipt button has the Shift function allocated to it). Having sorted this, I then want to be able to produce X and Z reads showing the value of the net sales and VAT amounts are.


Also while I'm asking, does anyone happen to know whether till programming courses take place in the UK for business owners to attend? Nothing came up on my yahoo search of this nature...

Many thanks.

Hi, just thought I should let anyone reading my original posting know that I've now downloaded the Dealers Manual from the EPOS Wizard Manuals site - I had spotted this before, but had assumed it was the same 'Users Manual' that I'd already got free from Casio.
It looks like it holds the answer to all these and any more questions I might ever have on this till! Though it'll take a bit of reading I think to get my head round the even more complicated programming lines...
Thanks EPOS Wizard!

Hi,
Yep, the dealer manual is where the low level system areas are programmed. The idea being that the dealer consults you when selling the machine, then sets all of the system presets for you, then gives you the machine with very little user programming left to do which you use the owners manual for.
There will be lots of scary names for everything in the manual, and as far as I know, we here on EPOSwizard are about the only training school around :-)

Here's some pointers for you:

When programming, you go into each prog mode with a number and SUBTOTAL.
To read the tax prog, you need program 6 mode, so turn to program, then press 6 then SUBTOTAL. you'll see 'P6' on the display. Now lookup the part called 'reading stored programs' in your dealer book. There will be codes for reading everything in prog 6 mode. Find the one for tax, and follow the instructions. This will print out the current rates etc.

When allocating new buttons to the keyboard, you need prog 4 mode, so turn to prog, type 4 then SUBTOTAL - 'P4' on display.
Now look for the table in the book showing two digit codes for every function. You just type the code, then press the button you want to set it to. Remember to press SUBTOTAL when finished. This ends programming. NOTE: If a function has some sales in it, then you sometimes can't move it to another position. E.G if you want to move an item button, but you have sold some of this item, then you must reset the daily/ periodic reports to clear the sales before you can move the item button.

If you have the receipt switch set to off position, then the machine will only issue a receipt when you press the RECEIPT button. If you have tax setup, then it will normally be printed on the receipt and end of day. If it still doesn't after you have setup you tax, we can have a look at that programming.

See how you get on with that lot, and feel free to ask if you get stuck.

I just noticed your comment about the VAT receipt button. You will probably need to place a receipt button somewhere on the keyboard to get your receipt function back. Just use the prog 4 instructions I gave you and find the code for receipt, and set it to a spare button.

Good luck
