SAM4s SPS-340 Cash Register

The SAM4s SPS-340 is one of two restaurant cash registers in the SPS-300 series. While similar in most features, the SPS-340 stands out with a unique feature: it includes both a receipt and journal printer, ideal for users who prefer a printed receipt along with a live printed journal instead of an electronic one.

Why Choose a Journal Printer?

Years ago, nearly every cash register featured both a journal and receipt printer. The introduction of electronic journals changed this trend, offering certain advantages, but live printed audit tapes still hold distinct benefits. For example, if you need to review an over-ring, a live printed journal provides immediate access to the transaction information. Many businesses choose to keep journal tapes for extended periods, ensuring they have access to records when needed.

On the other hand, electronic journals are limited; once overwritten, the data is permanently lost and cannot be recovered. This makes a live printed journal a valuable option to consider when selecting a cash register.

Evolution from the ER-650

The SPS-340 evolved from one of SAM4s' most popular models, the ER-650. This updated model not only retains the key features of the ER-650 but also adds enhancements like an SD card port, additional serial ports, and the option for a live audit tape.

If you're familiar with the ER-650, you'll appreciate the seamless transition to the SPS-300 series, as the learning curve from the ER-650 to the SPS-340 is minimal.
