If you happen to own a TEC MA 1100 model cash register, the above answer from Jacob (Sept. 2008) will reset your register too. You also have to have the TEC "S" (service) key to do this ! My register had a problem for over two years and until I used instructions from Jacob as above. Thanks to Susan Albright for the question, Jacob for the answer and "How to mend.com" for giving us All the answers !
