Preset PLUs facilitate fast and accurate registrations. With 150 key locations, the flat, spill-resistant keyboard can easily accommodate large menus with preset keys for each item.

Popular Components Included
Thermal Printer(s)
Choose a two-printer model (SPS-340, SPS-345) when a customer receipt and a traditional real-time printed journal is desired for transaction archival. The single printer model is best for receipt-only applications. If you choose the SPS-320 for printing receipts, you can record your journal electronically in the register’s memory. Both provide fast, quiet thermal printing. Drop-in loading simplifies paper changing and virtually eliminates paper jamming.
Electronic Journal
The journal can be archived electronically for printing at end-of-day, or can be collected on an SD card. A variety of electronic journal options are available that allow you to quickly audit selected activities.

Operator Display
The eight-line by 32-character LCD operator screen identifies each item as it is entered. Reports and program options can be viewed and selected from the display.

Rear Display
The 9-digit LED customer display allows consumers to monitor prices as items are entered and view the sale total.

Commercial Grade Cash Drawer
Features a 5 bill, 5/6 coin insert with adjustable coin dividers and a standard security lock and key. Insert large bills, checks, coupons or card slips through the media slots without opening the drawer.
