Introduction
SAM4s SPS-2000 Overview
Hardware
The SPS-2000 features a 12.1” color LCD touch screen and many popular off-the-shelf POS
peripherals can be connected by way of serial communication ports. The SPS-2000 has no
hard disk drive, instead running its built-in application software from on-board flash memory
and storing data on non-volatile RAM.
Equipped with an LCD touch screen, the SPS-2000 resembles in appearance and application
a PC-based POS terminal. However, unlike open-architecture PC-based terminals, the SPS-
2000 cannot run other PC applications – it is only capable of running the bundled, built-in
POS application.
Software
The built-in SPS-2000 POS application has considerable flexibility and can be configured for
both retail sales and food sales in quick and table service environments
Like ECR programs, the SPS-2000 application program allows the reseller to configure the
terminal to perform in a specific setting. After consulting with the merchant, the reseller uses
S-Mode (secure) programs set to memory allocation, system configurations, key functions
and locations, port assignments, passwords and other system settings. Then the P-Mode
(program) is used to complete the end user program for the merchant with, price look-up
(PLU) programs, messages, employees, taxes, and other system options.
Options
Each SPS-2000 ECR is configured with all options included. Each SPS-2000 has maximum
memory, a card reader, SD memory card reader, and a rear display standard. No additional
terminal options are available.
