A register machine that allow me to control my stock (until 1200 items) and receivables, easy to install and use. Share data with my computer and for a realy affordable price. I definitively recomend to a small to medium business store! The weak point is that no adhere to fiscal rules in Brazil but no other made outside the country adheres too, exept the ones made here. Your use in Brazil is restricted to companies registered to pay govern taxes by estimatives ("Simples"). My overall evaluation is such a very good product.

I've had this register for about 5 years now. The only downside is that connecting to it via serial port is kinda hard with a laptop. You need a true serial port, and not a USB to Serial port convertor. Luckily, if you have an express card there is a solution. It took me 5 years to find one that actually works.

You need a true serial port to make a connection with this cash register. The USB ones DO NOT work. Some expresscards are actually using USB to rs232 adapters and aren't true serial ports.

This product worked flawlessly for my Sharp XE-A202. I used the cable that came with the register. That's an important part, since it's a cross-over cable I believe. I installed the expresscard into my laptop which runs on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. i run the programs in admin mode and compatibility mode for XP(had to locate all the executable files and set it manually for each one.)

Hope this helps, since I've been trying to find a way that I can connect to this thing from a laptop for about 5 years now.

Pretty darn dependable. We have used one for a couple years and got a second one as a backup. The no-ink has worked great. The hardest part is putting all the data in, but once that is done it is a breeze. For the money you can't beat it.
