Your Register Must Receive Proper Care

 

To preserve the efficiency of any mechanical device it must have a certain amount of care and attention. National Cash Registers with their large number of small and delicately adjusted parts must be properly cared for by one who is familiar with the mechanism.

 

In order to insure good results and a long life from your register, you should

 

(1) See that it is operated in accordance with direction given in this direction book.

(2) Have it inspected and oiled regularly. The original lubrication lasts about two years.

 

It furnishes information that cannot be obtained in any other way

Directions for Use and Care of Your National Cash Register

 

After your register is unpacked, place it on a firm level counter where it will be convenient to all of your clerks and where your customers can plainly see the indicators at the top of the register.

 

The keys for the various locks will be found in an envelope in the cash drawer.

 

Before the register can be operated it is necessary for the No. 4 lock to be unlocked.

 

This lock is located on the front of the cash drawer (see illustration above). It locks the cash drawer and prevents the register from being operated.

 

To unlock No. 4 lock, insert the key marked 4 (see illustration above) and turn it to the left. The register can then be operated.

 

The No. 4 lock makes it possible to lock the register so it cannot be operated or the cash drawer opened when you have occasion to leave the store for a short time.

Illustration No. 1

 

Second: Press the key representing the kind of transaction being handled, as "Cash," "Received on Account," "Charge," "Paid Out," etc. (See illustration No. 2.)

 

 

Illustration No. 2

Page 5

Illustration No. 3

 

There are times when you will want to open       the cash drawer to change a coin or bill. To open the drawer without adding any amount on the counters pres  No Sale key and the initial (if the register has any initial keys), then push the operating button.

 

NOTE -- Registers which have the initial keys will not operate unless an initial key is pressed.

Counters

The record counters of the register are located under a locked lid just above the registering key (see illustration).

 

The lid over the counters is equipped a No. 5 lock; the object of the lock being to prevent any unauthorized person from examining the record of the amount of money taken in.

 

To gain access to the counters, insert the key marked No. 5 in the Lock No. 5 (see illustration) and turn the key to the left. Raise the lid and the counters will be exposed.

 

The register is equipped with a total-adding money counter and a customer or total transactions counter. In addition to these counters, there is a small counter called the resetting counter, (See illustration oil following page.)

 

Page 7

 

The Total-Adding Money Counter (see A in illustration above) adds the amount of each transaction where money is handled into a grand total. This counter will show you at a glance, at any time, the total amount of all money which has been recorded.

 

The Customer Counter  (see B in illustration above) adds 1 each time the register is operated.  It shows the total number of transactions which have been handled. By deducting the number of No Sale operations as shown on the detail-strip (see page 10) from the numbers shown on the customer counter, you can tell the actual number of customers waited upon during any given time.  This counter can be reset by turning the wheel at the right of the from you until the counter shows 0000.

 

The resetting counter (see C in illustration above) adds 1 each time the money counter is reset to zero. it shows the total number of times the money counter has been reset. This counter cannot be reset by hand, but adds up to 99,999 and then resets itself automatically. Keep a record of the numbers shown on this counter and no one can reset the money counter without your knowledge.

 

Page 8

 

To Reset the Total-Adding Money Counter

 

Unlock lock No. 5 and raise the lid over counter (see illustration).

 

Operate the register without pressing amount keys. If the register is equipped clerks' initial keys, press the No Sale initial key and then press the operating he register has no initial keys, press the No key and then the operating button. This operates the register without using any amount keys. The indicators at the top of the register show 0. Close the cash drawer.

 

Press the reset lever (see illustration) in as far as it will go. REMOVE FINGER FROM LEVER and press the operating button. This again operates the register and resets the money counter to zero. DO NOT ON THE RESET LEVER WHILE CLOSING THE CASH DRAWER.

When the money counter is reset the amount shown on it is transferred to the indicators at the top of the register, providing said amount is not than can be recorded on the register at operation.

 

When the money counter is reset, 1 is added on the resetting counter. Keep a record of the number shown on this counter and it will be impossible for any one to reset the counter without knowledge.

 

Reset the customer counter as explained on page 8. Close and lock lid over the counters.

Printed Records

Illustration No. 1

 

 

The register is equipped with a printer located on the left side of the register, under a door which is locked by a No. 6 lock (see illustration No. 1).

 

To unlock the printer door, insert the key marked 6 in the No. 6 lock and turn key to the left. (See illustration No. 1.)

 

As each transaction is recorded on the register, a printed record is made on a strip of paper called the detail-strip. (See illustration No. 2.)

 

This printed record shows the amount and kind of transaction, and the initial of the clerk who handled it (if the register is equipped with initial keys-otherwise only the amount and kind of transaction). (See illustration No. 2.)  A space is also provided for recording information that may be desired in connection with any particular transaction.

 

The detail-strip is an invaluable aid in tracing errors or special transactions.

 

By referring to it the merchant can see just what transactions were handled during any given period of time and in what order.

 

If the merchant is away from his business he can have the detail-strip mailed to him. By so doing he can keep informed as to the condition of his business during his absence.

Illustration No. 2

 

Page 10

 

To Space the Detail-Strip

 

There may be times when you will want to know just what transactions are recorded during a given time of the day.

 

For example: You are leaving the store for a short time and want to know what transactions are handled during your absence.

Spacing the detail-strip will enable you to get this information.

 

Before leaving the store, space the detail-strip by pushing in on the knob on the outside of the printer door (see illustration) and turning the knob to the left. This winds the detail-strip forward on the roll and leaves a blank space. When you return, space the detail-strip again.

 

When the detail-strip is removed at night, the printed figures shown between the two blank spaces show what transactions were handled during your absence.

 

Page 11

 

Detector Counter Lock No. 6

 

On the outside of the door over the printer at the left of the register is a counter (see illustration below), which adds 1 each time the door is unlocked. It cannot be reset by hand, but adds 99,999 and then automatically resets itself to zero.

This counter shows the proprietor whether or not any one has unlocked the printer door and examined or tampered with the printed records.

 

When balancing the register at the end of the day's business, make a record of the number shown on this counter.

 

When you open the printer door again, the counter should show only one number higher than that previously shown. If a greater number is shown it is evident that some other person has opened the printer door.

 

Page 12

 

To Remove the Detail-Strip

Illustration No. 1

 

Operate the register and push the cash drawer in about two-thirds of the way.

 

Unlock lock No. 6 and open the door over the printer.

Illustration No. 2

 

Pull out the detail stay pin from receiving roll as shown in illustration No. 2, and remove the printed record.

 

Draw the loose ends of the paper forward and place it over a groove in roll D (see illustration No.3). Roll D can easily be turned by hand so that the groove will come on top.

 

Clamp the paper to roll D by placing the long end of the stay pin B over the paper and in the groove, and the short end of the pin in the hole in center of roll D (see illustration No. 3).

 

Page 13

Illustration No. 3

Illustration No. 4

Page 14

 

 

 

To Get a Statement of the Day's Business

Unlock lock No. 6 and open the door over the printer. Remove the part of the detail strip shown the printed record. This strip shows an itemized list of all transactions handled and is a very valuable aid in tracing errors or special transactions.

 

Unlock lock No. 6 and raise the counters (see A in illustration above).

 

Make a record in the Statement Back amount called for by the total-adding counter.

 

Remove contents of the cash drawer an amount of money equal to that placed in the drawer for change.

 

Page 15

 

Add to the balance the amount of Paid Outs as shown on the slips found in the drawer or shown on the detail-strip. They should correspond with the amount shown on the total-adding money counter, and represent the total amount of money taken in and recorded during the day.

 

By subtracting the amount of the Received on Account slips from the total cash record you will know the exact amount of cash business for the day.

 

To Put on a New Ink Ribbon

 

Unlock lock No. 6 and open door over the printer.

 

Page 16

 

Remove metal clips H and I (see illustration) by pulling them until the tongue of the clip passes the shaft.

 

Back of the ribbon rolls are two ribbon reversing arms (see L and M in illustration). Hold back on the ribbon reversing arms so they will clear the flanges of the ribbon rolls, then pull ribbon rolls out and off the shaft.

 

Unwind ribbon from one of the rolls and attach the end of the new ribbon to the empty roll. Wrap ribbon around this roll a few times to give it a firm hold for winding.

 

Be sure that both rolls wind on the same side of the ribbon.

 

Raise lower ribbon reversing arm M and place the new ribbon roll on lower shaft (see illustration, page 16) with the ribbon unwinding upward from the back of the roll.

 

Bring the ribbon upward in front of studs J and K.

 

Raise upper ribbon reversing arms L and place the other ribbon roll on the upper shaft (see illustration).

 

Turn the ribbon rolls by hand and push back on them -until they are on the shafts as far as they will go.

 

Replace clips H and I by inserting tongue of clips in the hole in shafts (see illustration), and push back as far as the tongue of the clips will permit,

 

Page 17

Be careful to see that the ribbon feed ratchets (back of the rolls) are in place.

 

Be sure that ribbon reversing arms L and M are held back and not bent when putting the ribbon rolls on. If these arms are bent the ribbon will not reverse properly.

 

 

To Remove the Cash Drawer

Pull the drawer out as far as it will come.

 

With the index finger raise the small metal rod located in the rear of the first or second bill compartment from the right. (See illustration above.)

 

Hold up on this rod and pull out the drawer.

 

To replace the drawer, hold up on the rod and push the drawer in part way. Release the rod and push the drawer the rest of the way in.

 

To Clean the Case

 

To clean the register use warm water and soap only, dry with a soft cloth and polish with a chamois.

 

Never use cleaning preparations as they often contain alcohol or ammonia and if used will damage the finish.
