The ER-290 from SAM4s

SAM4s ER-290 cash register

The SAM4s ER-290 register has been very popular in the last few years. It is an entry level cash register with limited features but also easy to program and use.

The ER-290 cash register does not have alpha print however is does have 12 departments, computes sales tax, change and tracks media totals such as cash, check or charge.

You won't find a credit card interface with this register but again it is entry level and should be used where you want a simple register not a high end one.

SAM4s ER-290 cash register review

SAM4s ER-290 cash register

The SAM4s ER-290 is a good entry level cash register. The ER-290 features 12 programmable departments provide information and control of your most commonly used items. 200 price look-ups (PLUs). 2 programmable percent keys for discounting by sale or by item. Cash, check and two charge keys with paid out and received-on-account finalizing keys. Receipt stamp prints ?Thank You Call Again? after the sale is completed. Four tax tables for automatic tax calculation for department and PLU entries. Easy to read PLU, department, hourly sales, and period-to-date financial reports. Easy to install ribbon. Standard cash drawer with 5 bill, 5 coin compartment tray and security lock.

The one complaint I have heard about this register is that it does not print alpha numeric characters so in other words it does not print the name of the department only the number. Many people don't care about this however!

Which brand of cash register should I buy?

When you buy a cash register make sure you are buying from a dealer that can help you after the sale should you ever need support for example when your local sales tax rate increases. That does not mean that support is always free, however make sure it is available. Every day we hear from people that bought disposable cash registers from the big box stores, they call us for support which most often we can't help with and even if we could there is a fee for that.

The top commercial registers sold in North America are Sharp cash registers models starting with ER or UP and of course the SAM4s cash registers which have many options for all types of stores and restaurants.

Most of these sites feature cash registers with credit card readers that also process gift cards too. They almost always use the Datacap Twin Tran interface.

Where can I buy a Sharp Cash Registers

Sharp Cash Registers

First thing to remember before you buy a Sharp cash register is that they make two different lines. The first is the consumer grade disposable grade XE models. In most cases do not buy an XE model if you want a durable commercial grade cash register. The heavy duty commercial grade cash register line starts with either an ER or a UP for example a Sharp ER-A420 is a popular machine in the ER line.

All most all of the ER and UP models can interface to credit card payments with the Datacap Twin Tran, have optional computer interface, kitchen printers, bar code scanners and more.

There are some great places online to buy your register from

• Sharp cash registers
• Commercial Grade Cash Registers
• Heavy Duty Duty Sharp Cash Registers
• Sharp cash registers in Washington State

Sharp ER-A420 or the SAM4s SPS-320 cash register

Well first point is both of these are great cash registers. Both have some very strong points to be made for them. Not really fair to compare however because the Sharp ER-A420 has been around a long time before some of the newest features of the SAM4s SPS-320 was being used in the industry.

Both cash registers feature a large flat keyboard. The SAM4s keyboard is a little large. Both can interface to credit card payments with the Datacap Twin Tran, both can interface to PC Poll cash register software.

the Sharp ER-A420 has a history of being incredibly durable and is a heavy duty machine for sure. The SAM4s line up as a whole has a great track record of being reliable.

Couple huge advantages of the SAM4s SPS-320 include the SD card port for program back up and flash ROM upgrades, free software and the eight line LCD display.

If I already had the Sharp ER-A420 I would stick with them for a while since you would have no learning curve with operations, if starting with a cash register for the first time go with the SAM4s.
