These EPoS Machines are DOS based machines.
One significant difference to the conventional cash registers is that
application or programs are not stored in EPROM. Therefore the
application has to be loaded from a computer.
Sharp have provided a free of charge application that has been
developed for the hospitality & Retail sector, It is this application that will
be covered on this tape.

This application has to be loaded from a computer into the EPoS. To do
this, Sharp provide a free of charge program, once this program has
been loaded into your computer, files can be transferred between the
EPoS and the computer, thereby allowing a complete application to be
loaded from your computer to the EPoS very simply.

Together with this tape there is a floppy disc which contains files which
will allow you to perform all the programming jobs and be used as a
guide for this tape.

To load this into your computer follow the instructions in the read.me file
contained on the floppy disc or telephone 0161 204 2326 for
assistance.

The programming for these machine can be performed in a number of
ways.
Programming can be carried out on the computer and then down loaded
to the EPoS, or programming can be carried out using a standard
computer keyboard which is connected to the side of the machine, or
for short jobs on the ER-A850 you can fit the QWERTY key sheet
overlay on the keypad.

The programming would be carried out on the master EPoS.
Alternatively the programming can be done on the computer and then
down loaded to the master.
