I Have a samsung er-240. our tax went from 5 % to 4%. I need to know how to change tax for it. If anyone can help please email me.
Stanley, I do not have a book for the Samsung ER-240 and the sole distributor of Samsung did not have one listed in their dealer area of their website or I would have downloaded it for you. But they did mention on the site that the ER-290 is the replacment for that machine. I think the following ER-290 tax programming will work for your 240 but USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Tax Rate Programming
You can program up to three separate taxes on the ER-290. Set tax rate(s) here.
Programming Tax Rates and Status
1. Turn the control lock to the PGM position.
2. If the tax is a percentage rate, with a decimal. (0.000-99.999). It is not necessary to enter proceeding zeros. For example, for 6%, enter 06.000 or 6.000.
3. For the type of tax, enter:
0 if the tax is a percentage added to the sale (normal add on tax)
1 if the tax is a percentage value added tax
(VAT; calculated as part of the sale)
4. Enter 0 here for all taxes, unless if you are programming tax 4 as a Canadian GST. If the tax is a Canadian GST. Enter:
GST (tax 4) taxable by rate 1.
Yes = 1
No = 0
+ GST (tax 4) taxable by rate 2
Yes = 2
No = 0
+GST (tax 4) taxable by rate 3
Yes = 4
No = 0
+=
