I have a sharp xe-a406 cash register I am trying to find where the battery is located to replace.

This may be due to the aging of the LCD screen lamp tube, and it may be necessary to replace the screen.

Do an X Reading at the end of the day instead of a Z Reading. Z clears the previous total and resets.

It took me a while to find the Windows 7 64-bit driver for the XE-A506, but apparently it is located under the XE-A406 version. Eventually, this one worked for me: but don't forget to run the program as administrator (properties - compatibility - "Run this program as an administrator").

By the way, the manual was a bit unclear on how to install the drivers (for me at least). This is the whole process that actually got it working in my case:

• Go to "Devices and Printers"
• Right-click the device under Unspecified - select "Properties"
• Select the "Hardware" tab
• Open "Properties"
• In the "General" tab, select "Change Settings"
• Select the "Driver" tab
• Here the option for "Update Driver..." should be available, open it
• Select "Browse my computer for driver software"
• Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
• Press "Have Disk" (sometimes this option isn't immediately available, first press "Next" in that case)
• Select "Browse"
• Head to the location where the driver (*.inf) is downloaded, something like "Downloads\SHARP XE-A406_A506 SOFTWARE - 64bit\Sharp XE-A406_A506\Setup\program files\SHARP ECR TOOL\XE-A406506 Customer Support Tool\Driver\Win64" and select it
• Press "Open"
• Press "OK"
• Press "Next". The driver should now install.

And again, don't forgot to Run as Administrator when starting the software: without this, I still couldn't upload data to the device.
