Keyboard Covers for SAM4s Cash Registers

There are three sites I know of that sell the silicone or plastic keyboard cover for SAM4s Cash Registers. Keeping a cover on your machine can protect it and prolong the life of your machine. Some machines require a cover such as the restaurant style machines with flat micro motion keyboards. Most keyboard covers seem top range in price from around $20.00 to upwards of $40.00 or so. Here are the top sites on the internet for Keyboard Covers

• SAM4s Cash Register Keyboard Covers
• Keyboard Covers for SAM4s Cash Registers

Don't wait until you can no longer see through your cover or worse you are using the machine without one and someone spills a soda of coffee right on you machine! We see it everyday where a low cost keyboard cover would have saved you the cost of a replacment machine. It is almost not if you will spill something on your register more like when and how much!

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:

• Discount SAM4s Cash Registers
• Wholesale SAM4s Cash Registers

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!
