How to Erase the Memory on a Royal Cash Register ?

The memory of a Royal cash register stores a wide range of data, including transactions, price look-up codes and other programming options you chose during setup. When you perform a Full System Clear, you remove all this information and restore the cash register to its original factory default settings. This must be done when a manager forgets a pass code or the register malfunctions and troubleshooting doesn't correct the issue. The method you use to erase the memory depends on the Royal cash register model you’re using.

Tip
If you can’t get your Royal cash register to function after completing a Full System Clear, repeat the steps, but use new batteries. For example, replace all Royal 100 to 400 series batteries with new ones. If you have an Alpha series register, pull all Alpha Series batteries instead of only one, and then replace the batteries.

Warning
Always make certain that your Royal cash register is plugged in to an electrical source when you insert the backup batteries.
