Programming cash registers in Washington State

We are just a little bit more then a month out from the new year. Do you live in an area where the sales taxes are increasing and you will need to program your SAM4s cash register or your Sharp register?

We do programming for cash registers over the phone for all commercial Sharp registers and all the SAM4s models. Don't wait to get in line for the tax change, call early and arrange for a technician to call you back and walk you through the process of changing the sales tax.

Keep in mind you will need you program key and a phone at the register. The program key for a SAM4s is a "P" key or a "C" key as they both will work. For a Sharp cash register is needs to be a "MA" key

To schedule call 1-800-863-2274 and there is a fee for this service. Here are some sites you can visit as well

Silver POS system for the Mom and Pop retailer

NCR Silver POS
The NCR Silver POS system


If you need a good POS system for your small retail business you should look at our Silver POS system for the iPad. The system hardware starts at $499.00 plus the iPad and a monthly subscription fee for the cloud based software. Because it is cloud based you can log into the system from anywhere you have internet access.

I think the most powerful features of the Silver system is that is allows you to market directly to your customers via email. For example you could send an email to customers that have not come in for 2 months, or send a email to customers that come in frequently all in just a few minutes and all integrated.

Download a SAM4s cash register manual

If you have misplaced your SAM4s cash register manual there is a chance you can get a free download or buy a replacement manual. Some of the newer machine do not come with a manual but rather a CD with the manual on it. Please keep in mind that cash register dealers do not receive extra manuals, only one manual comes with a register for the end-user and the dealer does not get any spares from the manufacture. We either buy them or print them from the file ourselves.

Once you have your manual and you need help we can help you with programming and training. It is not free but it is available whether you bought the register from us or not.

The SAM4s SPS-500 series are the most advanced cash registers on the market

SAM4s SPS-520 FT cash register
SAM4s SPS-520 FT cash register
We have been in the cash register business for a long time in Seattle Washington. Used to be Sharp cash registers were the best selling machines in the country. I think in the commercial grade cash register market SAM4s cash registers have taken the lead and extending that lead every day.

Driving the popularity of the SAM4s line us is the fact they are coming out with new models that feature technology that computer users take for granted but have been missing from cash registers like USB ports, touch screens and simple things like that!

The star of the line up is the SAM4s SPS-500 series which includes the following

  • SAM4s SPS-520R raised key cash register with receipt and journal
  • SAM4s SPS-520F flat keyboard register also with receipt and journal
  • SAM4s SPS-530R features a raised keyboard and a single station printer
  • SAM4s SPS-530F for restaurants with a flat keyboard and single station printer
All of these cash registers can use the Datacap Twin Tran for credit card interface and gift card interface. All can interface with bar code scanners, kitchen printers, scales, kitchen video, computers and DVR systems.

Need help picking out a model for your business then call us at 1-800-863-2274 and we can help you.

The cash register with a touch screen the SPS-2000 from SAM4s


The SAM4s SPS-2000 is a touch screen cash register. Often confused for a touch screen computer the truth is the SPS-2000 is a touch screen rom based cash register. In our experience ROM based cash registers are far more durable the a PC based system. Unlike a PC system the SPS-2000 has no operating system, no hard drive, no fan and no games!

The SPS-2000 interfaces with all the popular accessories restaurants want like credit card interface with the Datacap Twin Tran, kitchen printers, kitchen video, scales, scanners and more.

If you already own a SPS-2000 and would like expert support for programming or training then contact us at 1-800-863-2274 or at SAM4s SPS-2000 support

Sharp ER-A410
Sharp ER-A410

We have a few Sharp ER-A410 cash registers in stock after a long wait. If you need one better get them now because they will be gone again very soon. This is a very sought after cash register and Sharp has had low inventory for the last 4 or 5 months. We only have a few in stock after getting a large order in last week.

We can also offer programming and support for not only the ER-A410 but any of the commercial grade models. We do not offer support for models that begin with XE.

We have keyboard covers and templates for the ER-A410 and the ER-420, which is the flat keyboard version of the ER-A410
