SAM4s SPS-300 Operator's & Programming Manual v1.4
Glossary • 285
Electronic Journal
The SPS-320 does not provide a journal printer; the SPS-340 and SPS-345 provide a
traditional journal printer. Today many systems, even expensive PC-based systems do not
print a traditional sales journal. For business records, a copy of daily financial summaries is
usually all that is needed. Like some of the more expensive POS systems, the SAM4s SPS-
300 Series has the capability of storing a sales journal in memory. The electronic journal can
be reviewed and discarded, saved to an SD card or polled by a PC for archival. When ECR
memory reserved for electronic journal is full, current records are saved and old data is
discarded.
Error Condition
An error condition signals that mis-operation has occurred. It is identified by an audible tone
and an error descriptor appearing on the display.
Error Correct
An error correct operation voids the last item entered, it must be used within a sale.
Flash ROM
Flash ROM is used by the manufacturer to contain the program that runs the register. Flash
ROMs maintain memory when power is off, allowing the register to be especially stable and
reliable. In the case that the register’s program is improved, or updated, the Flash ROM can
be updated by a qualified service technician through a utility in the register.
Food Stamp
Note: Many areas now administer food stamp payments through EBT cards, rather than
traditional food stamp coupons. The SPS-300 Series is not capable of accepting EBT
electronic payments at this time.
Merchants who accept food stamp payments have the responsibility of accepting food stamps
only for food stamp eligible merchandise.
The SAM4s SPS-300 Series offers a sophisticated routine to separate food stamp eligible
items and accept the appropriate payments. First, each PLU is pre-programmed with food
stamp eligibility status. If the customer is paying by food stamps, the operator can then recall
and display the food stamp eligible total. Depending upon local rules, sales tax can be
forgiven on any taxable food stamp eligible item. Change less than one dollar from food
stamp tender is applied to non-food stamp eligible items, or issued in cash change. If both
cash and food stamp change is due, the register displays both types of change due.
Using this system, all food stamp items are automatically sorted, with change and tax
calculated by the register. Thus, a potentially confusing transaction can be handled quickly
with little risk for errors.
