VRX Company cannot be responsible for the changes to the settings of the cash register. A

cash register technician may be required to assist with the proper system settings, in event of

mistake of mis-programming This document was compiled from SHARP provided user manuals

to assist end-users in the setup of the SHARP cash register for compatibility with the VR2004

text inserter.

1 Preparing to program

1.1 Equipment Required

• A SHARP ER-A520 or ER-A530 Electronic Cash Register

• The Manager’s Key (stamped “MA”)

• An RS232 Cable or A straight-through CAT5 cable, with adapters

• A VR2004 text inserter (or an appropriate SHARP printer, or a ﬂow control loopback adapter

1.2 Attaching the peripheral device

IMPORTANT: Once programming has begun, the cash register will not function unless a

peripheral device is attached to the designated port, ensure that there is a device (such as a text

inserter with handshake loopback adapter, printer, or handshake loopback adapter) attached

to the serial port that you would like to use for print data sending before continuing.

1.3 Entering programming mode

• Insert the manager’s key, and turn to the 8-o’clock (“PGM2”) position

2 Programming the register

NOTE: The text inserter in the VR2004 SHARP PDS kit is pre-programed for 9600 baud, with

7 data bits, one stop bit, and even parity, these instruction detail how to set the register to these

same parameters.

In the event of a MISOPERATION or ENTRY ERROR, press the [CL] key twice to clear the

error.

2.1 Assigning the serial port

NOTE: Each serial port may only be assigned to ONE device at a time, the register will fail

with an “ENTRY ERROR” if an attempt is made to assign a device to an already used serial port.

1. Select a free serial port to use for print data sending, the serial port closest to the customer

is port 1, and the one nearer the operator is port 2.
