Sharp Electronic launches new cash register
May 21, 2006
MAHWAH, N.J. — Sharp is unveiling a new electronic cash register with enhanced capabilities, a news release said.
The ER-A242 is a solution for businesses that want fast, quiet thermal printing and easy programming software for PC connectivity.
"Small business owners want an entry-level system that makes it easy to track business sales and produce reports," said Mike Porter, associate vice president and general manager of the POS Division
According to a news release, the ER-A242 uses a high-speed drop-in thermal printer that is quieter than a standard printer, and doesn't require a messy ink ribbon. With a more consistent print quality, the ER-A242 can support graphics for customized receipts and reports. The single station 12 lps (lines per second) printer can print up to 24 characters per line and has a paper-end sensor to alert the user when the roll is finished.
The ER-A242 is available immediately for a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $379.00 through Sharp's authorized dealer network.
