Still programming the new Cash Register
Still working on the new Register. Compared to the Casio TS-3100, this Sharp XE-A505 is a joy to work with. Being able to save sales data on an SD card is fantastic -- the fact that it is either CSV or QuickBooks format is perfect. You can also save machine programming to the same card so if we want to change any of the settings, I can do this in the office and walk the card down to the register. A few keystrokes and the new program takes effect.
Now I just have to pry off 20 keytops and cut out the labels for the various departments. That and a few last minute changes to the functions (setting up the various pay-by departments for Charge, Check, WIC/EBT, etc...) and it will be ready to roll out.
My only gripe so far is that it uses tape that is 1.75" wide. Most registers use 2.25" and 1.75" is hard to find. I mail-ordered two cases through the internet so it's not bad, just need to remember to do this again when I am down to my last couple rolls...
