Sharp XE-A404 2-line Alpha Numeric Thermal Printing Cash Register Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Sharp XE-A404 cash register is basically a very good machine. It has way more features than I'll ever need or want and can handle a much more complex store than our little mom & pop store. Some of the features that attracted me to this specific model were the full size cash drawer, the keyboard which has real keys instead of some kind of rubber touchpad, the ability to issue receipts and the number of department keys. It works very much like most other registers we've owned and the instruction book was clear and easy to follow - though perhaps my prior experience with other machines may have helped me a bit there! My only disappointment with this machine has been with the software for reporting data stored on the SD card. I expected I'd be able to view the equivalent of the machine's paper tape on my PC. No way! You can see (and print) totals by hour, by clerk, by department, by PLU/UPC, or by transaction type. You can see/print totals for a given date or for a date range but that's about ALL you can do. You cannot look up what happened at a specific time or what transaction followed some other one or any of the other questions that may be answered from the paper tape. It seems like a silly oversight that would have been so easy to include. The data stored on the tape appears to be in some insane format with a multitude of files for each date. If anyone figures out how to write programs to access the raw data, I hope you'll post it on the net. Still, you don't really NEED to use the SD card and given the lack of usefulness, you may well decide not to bother. The rest of the register should make you very happy.
