3.0 out of 5 stars Good machine w/ user UNfrindly software, May 18, 2007

By	D. Cheng - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

XE-A505 is a good small business cash register support 99 departments and 9999 Price Look Up (PLU/UPC) code. That's if you want build it one item at time. Unfortunately the software provide by Sharp for build, update PLU/UPC code are very user unfrindly. You have to scan or key in the code on the register before it can be updated on your PC. Propitiatory database which has no import/export utility to interface PLU/UPC database with MS Excel or other popular spreedsheets therefore in practice for a small business like ours you can only maintain few hundred items. No easy way to make across board price changes other than time consumming item by item. If any one knows any 3rd party data exchange software can interface with XE-A505 SD saved programming data please let me know.

If I do this over again I will check out software capability (which is not very clear in manufacture's product description)before I buy.

If you don't need maintain high number of PLU/UPC this is a good machine otherwise check others out before you make your decisions.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sharp cash register with scanner, July 8, 2007

By	D. Clemons - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Cash register works ok. Bar scanner does not work at all in the sunlight! We bought it to use in a fireworks tent, and had to create dark shade to get it to work during the day.
The logo feature is not very good for the register receipt. It never comes out like you want it, and it is VERY limited as to what you can do.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellant cash register, May 13, 2007

By	R. Ricketts - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

MY old cash register went out. I bought a Royal and was not happy. I purchased the Sharp XE-A505 and programmed it and returned the Royal. The software is better, the programming easier, and having the journal tape made this machine a good choice. This register is a great value and just satisfies my need so well. I like it.
