Can someone please help?

I have a small convenience / specialty grocery store and had been using SAM4S ER-420M cash register for my business. I have 12 departments on my register: bottled, tinned, rice, noodles, flourmx, frozen, scepaste, snacks, drinks, spices, pkldveg, others.

I recently upgraded and purchased a brand new Metrologic Eclipse MS5145 scanner. The purpose of which is so I will not be pricing my stocks individually and just scanning each product directly into the cash register.

How do I program each item and their prices to go under each department. For example, I want to scan a packet of sweets for 40p and put them under "snacks". I tried looking for instruction on my SAM4S manual but there is no clear cut instruction on scanning.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

turn to pgm
enter 100 press subtotal
scan product
enter status
press xtime key
repeat from scan product until all plus programmed
press cash to finish
enter 200
scan product
enter price press xtime
repeat from scan product until all plus programmed
press cash to finish
enter 300
scan product
enter the name using codes or keyboard letters depending on programming
press xtime
repeat froim scan product until all plus are programmed press cash to finish

bottom line - each product has to be scanned three times - a right ball ache!

suggest a usb scanner linked to pc programming utility - better still samstock - but thats expensive!

I tried doing as suggested

turn to pgm
enter 100 press subtotal
scan product
enter status
press xtime key

However, it comes up with "warning sequence error"

Can you please tell me where I'm going wrong?

What type of EPOS system is ideal for a grocery store, the cheapest one if you can suggest any?

Many thanks.

at what point did u get the error?

samstock is the way to go with that machine but be advised that the machine is a little "under powered" for a supermarket - with a maximum of 8000 plus fully rammed
