Credit Card Terminal for SAM4s Cash Registers

At long last there is an easy to install EMV credit card terminal that connects to SAM4s cash registers. Yes that's right, one simple device that does it all and is integrated directly with your cash register. One of the best things about this device is it is also affordable. This terminal sells for $299.00 plus shipping.

This terminal processes EMV cards, swiped transactions and debit. In the very near future it will be processing EBT too. Integrated with your cash register to eliminate costly re-key errors and reduce fraud this device pays for itself quickly.

What will 2013 bring in the world of cash registers?

In 2013 I don't see much of a change from the state of things today in the cash register business. I project SAM4s will still be the best selling commercial cash register on the market beating out Sharp cash registers.

Both make great commercial grade cash registers but it seem clear that SAM4s is leading the way in the industry today as they have for the last few years. SAM4s has come out with a slew of new machines with features that really are game changers. For example SAM4s makes several entry level cash registers with SD card ports and make the same models with one printer and two so you can make the best choice for your needs. The newer models that include some of these great features are:

• SAM4s ER-920
• SAM4s ER-925
• SAM4s ER-940
• SAM4s ER-945
• SAM4s SPS-320
• SAM4s SPS-340
• SAM4s SPS-345

All of the above cash registers have SD card ports for reporting, programming and upgrading. They all can interface to credit card payments with the Datacap Twin Tran, interface to computers and come with free software and have models with receipt and journal or receipt only.

So let's not forget about Sharp completely as I'm not writing them off. They have made some great moves this year too. They came out with two new models that are great machines with some leading edge features. The machines are:

• Sharp ER-A247
• Sharp ER-A347

Both of these machines have features that SAM4s cash registers do not have. First both of these machine interface to a standard credit card terminal from Hypercom which is very unique (not as complete a system as the Datacap Interface). They both also have a programming Software that interfaces to the cash register with an SD card instead of a direct connection to the PC, however the big feature that has to long in coming for any register company is that these two machines have a Quick Books Transfer tool that allows you to take the sales from the register and import into your Quick Books accounting software.

I can't wait to see the new models if any that will be released from SAM4s or Sharp in 2013 and beyond. If you have any questions about which cash register you should buy call us at 1-800-863-2274

New Features in SAM4s Cash Registers

In 2011 we saw several cash registers come onto the market and in 2012 we should see a few more. We are very happy to see a few developments with the new releases from SAM4s. First and foremost every new product they released is now coming with an SD card port for backing up programs, upgrading ROM, and taking reports. Do not forget to invest a couple bucks and buy yourself an SD card to back up your register program! Second thing we like is that SAM4s came out with two of each model, one with a receipt only and a second one with a receipt and journal! Several of their older models had only a receipt which is fine for most operators however it did force a few people to buy more register than needed to get that receipt. You will see the 900 series was release with both choices of a receipt or receipt and journal. Lastly almost every SAM4s now comes with Free Utility Software that allows you to program the register from a PC if you want to. Check out the new 900 series already released and the soon to be release SAM4s 300 series.

SAM4s has release 4 new models 3 more coming soon

SAM4s has recently released 4 new cash registers and are about to release 3 more.
