Here is a site that helps with SAM4s Cash Registers and Samsung Cash Registers

There is a new Sharp Cash Register Help Site. Check them out! But remember to come back to the Cash Register Guys to buy your Sharp Cash Register.

The CRG now offer Microsoft’s POS and RMS software bundled with HP POS Hardware. Four bundles are being offered featuring two RMS bundles and two POS bundles. Two of the bundles include touch screens the other two feature standard 15″ LCD monitors.

Microsoft’s RMS is designed for multi-unit retail chains and has an option for a head quarter central control software called RMS HQ.

The MS POS software is a better fit for the small to medium mom and pop retail store with one or more stores but who do not need central control.

Both RMS and POS can have integrated Credit Card and Gift Card operations.

One great feature of the HP Bundles is that they include a 3 year on-site warranty from HP.

Check them out.

This works for both the Sharp ER-A460 and The Sharp ER-A470 Cash Register.

Please note this tax programming is for the tax rate, not the tax table. I don’t know of any people still using tax tables in the US. Also this does not make every sale Taxable or Non-Taxable you must still program your departments and/or PLU’s to be taxable or not.

Steps

• Turn Key to PGM 2
• Enter 2711
• Press the Decimal Key
• Press the @/For key
• Enter 1 for tax rate 1, 2 for 2, 3 for 3, or 4 for 4.
• Press the @/For key
• Enter the tax rate (example 8.8% enter as 88000) the register will place the decimal
• Press the @/For Key
• Enter the lowest amount Taxable (I always enter 1 unless in your area maybe everything under $1.00 is non-taxable) What ever you enter and above will be taxed when entered in a taxable department.
• Press the Cash Key.
• Turn key to Reg and test.
• Thats it!

Tax programming on the Sharp ER-A530 is pretty easy. Here ya go.

3. Press the Decimal Button
4. Press the @/FOR Button
5. Press 1 for tax rate 1, 2 for tax rate 2, 3 for tax rate 3, 4 for tax rate 4
6. Press the @/FOR Button
7. Enter Tax Rate as 00.000 (use the decimal key)
8. Press the @/FOR Button
9. Enter the lowest taxable amount Example is everything over $0.01 taxable enter 1, or does tax kick in a $0.10 then you would enter 10. (most tax districts I have seen tax starts at $0.01)
10. Press the CA/AT (Cash) Button
11. Turn key to Reg and test.

We get a large amount of questions about importing UPC codes into a cash register. The answer is yes, but of course it is not as easy as that. You must have the following conditions:

• A commercial grade cash register with a serial (rs232 port) available
• A polling package like PC POLL
• A source for your UPC codes

The set up to accomplish this is not cheap but is is not out of sight either. A decent machine to do this with at least 2500 UPC codes will cost you about $600.00 plus a scanner etc. The software will cost about $660.00, plus all the needed cables etc.

PC Poll is the only package I have found that will import and export UPC codes in a csv or excel file. The packages from SAM do not import. Don’t know why, but they don’t!
