Where should I buy my SAM4s Cash Register From

Try and buy your SAM4s Cash Register from Factory dealer not just a mass merchandiser that sells all kind of items on the web. Below we have listed two good discount dealers on the net that work only in cash registers and offer support if needed. Sometimes you may have to pay for that support but it is available. If you buy from some ACME internet reseller they may not know a cash register from an iPod! Call first and question them. Do they know anything about the cash registers? Is their main business selling cash registers or ink jet printers? Do they provide support?

Here are two great places to buy:
These resellers offer all the SAM4s registers and support each one of them as well as repair and offer supplies. These resellers can also offer Value added items like Cash Register Credit Card interface, Kitchen Printers, Kitchen Video Systems and other options.

SPS 520R and SPS 530R Features


We often get asked what the limits of the SPS 520R or SPS 530R. Keep in mind that to max out UPC’s or PLU’s you have to have the max optional memory. With the max memory we still could not tell you how many UPC’s or Guest Checks you could have because the memory is shared much like a computer. A computer’s hard drive is sized by GB not how many items it can hold this cash register (like most) is the same. However with the maximum memory installed this machine can have a lot of UPC’s andPLUS and guest checks.

With maximum memory installed you can have up to:

Remember it is shared so it does not mean you can have the max of each but rather what the max is of each if enough memory!

  • Up to 60,000 PLUs*
  • Up to 999 Clerks*
  • Up to 99 Groups*
  • Up to 9,999 PLU Status Groups*
  • Up to 200 Key Link Menu Screens*
  • Up to 32 Registers per Network*
  • Up to 4 Hard/Soft Check Files*
* With Optional Expanded Memory

Also please not that the memory and features for the SAM4s SPS-520R and 530R are exactly the same as the SAM4s SPS-530F and 520F registers. The only differance is the F models have flat keyboards not raised!

What is the SAM4s SPS-500 Cash Register Series?


SAM4s SPS-520R Cash Register
The SAM4s SPS-500 series Cash Register including models:

The 500 series from SAM4s is one of the best if not the best selling cash registers on the market today. People always want to know what the difference are between the different models. Below is the explanation

  • The R in the model number indicates a raised keyboard. This style of tactile keyboard in most often asscoitated to retail stores.
  • The F in the model number tells you the model features a flat keyboard designed for food service.
  • A 520 has both a receipt and journal printer and uses 2.25″ thermal paper
  • A 530 has only one printer which uses 3 1/8″ thermal paper designed for a guest check or large receipt
So to recap R stands for raised and is for retail, F is for flat and is for restaurant. The SPS 520 has two on-board printers, and the SAM4s SPS 530 a large 3 1/8th" thermal single station printer.

Hope that helps.
