The Sharp ER-2386S tax programming is pretty simple when you have a simple flat rate. Tax tables are a different story, but I don’t think anyone uses them any longer. The Sharp ER-2386S is capable of two tax rates, and yes many states and cities have several different rates. So here are the steps
- Turn the mode lock to PGM
- Enter 241
- press . (decimal)
- press the @
- press 1 for tax rate 1 or 2 for tax rate 2
- press the @
- enter the tax rate as 00.0000 so 8.8% would enter as 88000 or 7% would be 70000 DO NOT PRESS THE DECIMAL KEY, THE PROGRAMMING WILL ADD IT IN THE CORRECT PLACE
- Press the @
- Enter the lowest taxable amount ( I always use 1) so anything above $0.01 will be taxed if a taxable department. If you area is different enter the local minimum amount.
- Press Cash (CA/AT) to finish
- Repeat for tax 1 or 2 as needed.
- Remember to return the key to the REG mode before trying.

I tried but after i press the decimal i press 1 and the beep goes of and the display show,s a E in the left corner . Any idea,s Paul
OK, please try again. I see after reviewing that I left a step out. I changed step #4 which is what was giving you the error. Sorry but it should now work for you.

Hi, i tried the steps you gave me but i don’t know what is wrong. I can’t seem to change the % to 13% on the cash register. everytime i follow the steps and return the key back to REG and punch in $3.99 to see what the total is it comes to $4.43 but it should be $4.19 because i work in a restaurant and if if’s under $4 it’s only the GST %. I dont know what i had done wrong. Could you please write down step by step on what i need to do because i think thats the only way i’ll get it. I’m sorry for all the trouble.
Thank You

OK it is here in step 9
Enter the lowest taxable amount ( I always use 1) so anything above $0.01 will be taxed if a taxable department. If you area is different enter the local minimum amount.
So when you are programming the PST you must put 3.99 or 4.00 here. (wherever the tax starts)
Other then that sounds like you have it right
Hi, i tried the steps you gave me but i don’t know what is wrong. I can’t seem to change the % to 13% on the cash register. I programmed it to 13% but now when i punch in $1.00 it come out to $1.18. What can i do now to make $1.00 come out to $1.13 with the 13% tax
Thank You

Vivien, for a Tax one rate of 13% with everything over $0.01 taxable would be
241 . @ 1 @ 130000 @ 1 CA/AT (cash key)
That would set tax one to 13% That does not mean your departments are set to tax one! If they were before that would not have changed
Good Luck
I have an ER-530 Sharp Register and I can’t figure out how to program using LV1 and LV2. Any suggestions?
Little more detail please. How far have you gotten?
