Is you local register dealer out of biz? Well the good news is there are several sites avaialble to help. Some help is free some is not. Should you require direct help over the phone the market price seems to be around $50.00 to have someone walk you through setting the tax rates on your cash register over the phone. Price is about $200.00 if someone needs to come on site and do the job.

Did you make your own cable or buy one? It will not work with an off the shelf cable from a office supply store btw. The cable pinouts are in the book.

Also you really do not want to download if your register is already programmed as that will send blank data to the machine unless of course you programmed in the software first? Most cases people will upload an existing register and then edit the program and download.

I'll run that error past one of my techs. If you bought the machine from us we will be able to offer you more help. If you did contact us directly and I'll be happy to help out. If for some reason you don't have the manual I think it is also posted at SAM4s Cash Registers

Hi

I have a sams4s er 5200m and a bixolon srp 275. How do I have to program the cash register to get it to print. I have grouped the items and programed it to print in the correct serial port. Do I need to do something in the s mode? Any help is greatly appreciated.

There are quite a few things that need to be programmed for the KP to work, far to many to go into great detail. Also teh cable is very important and so are the DIP switch settings on the printer. This may be one where you hire on of our techs for 15 minutes over the phone and if your cable is good they will have you up and running in just a few minutes. SAM4s Cash Registers
