Designed for efficiency and reliability, this cash management system is equipped with features to streamline your sales transactions and record-keeping. Please read this manual thoroughly before operating the device to ensure proper functionality and longevity.
Setup
Unpacking and Placement
Carefully remove the cash register from its packaging. Ensure all components are present. Place the unit on a stable, flat surface, away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, or moisture. Allow adequate ventilation around the unit.
Power Connection
Connect the power cord to the cash register and then to a standard electrical outlet. The unit is designed for continuous operation when connected to power.
Battery Installation for Memory Protection
The Royal 435DX features memory protection with back-up batteries to safeguard your programmed data during power outages. Locate the battery compartment, typically on the underside or rear of the unit. Install the required batteries (refer to the compartment for battery type and polarity). This ensures that your programmed departments, PLUs, and other settings are retained.
Initial Key Setup
The cash drawer is locking. Ensure you have the key provided to unlock and access the cash drawer. Keep the key in a secure location.
Programming Departments and PLUs
Before conducting sales, you will need to program your 16 departments and 800 Price Look-Ups (PLUs). Refer to the programming section (not detailed in this general overview) for specific steps on setting up prices, tax rates, and other item details.

Maintenance
Cleaning
Regularly clean the exterior of the cash register with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth with mild detergent can be used, ensuring no liquid enters the unit. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Paper Roll Replacement
When the receipt paper runs low or is depleted, open the printer cover. Remove the old paper roll and insert a new thermal paper roll, ensuring the paper feeds correctly into the printer mechanism. Close the cover securely.
