This program simulates a cash register. If you have an HP infrared printer like the HP 82240B (from the 1980s and 1990s), the program is set to print the results. The printer is enabled by setting flag 21. When a printer is present, flag 55 is set internally.
When the printer flag is turned on (21):
AVIEW: print what ever is in the alpha register
VIEW: print the contents of a numeric register
ADV: advances the paper
A printer is not required to run the program, unplug the Infrared Printer Module. This way the program stops when an AVIEW, VIEW, and ADV instruction displays. Press [ R/S ] to continue.
This program assumes every item entered is subject to a sales tax, which is set within the program, line 03.
