Introduction SAM4s Sam4POS Overview SAM4POS from SAM4s is an Android based POS application solution that can be installed on the SAM4s SAP-6600 & SAP-4800II, the SAP-630/SAP-530 terminals, and the Hisense HM616 Android tablet. SAM4POS is available to resellers only as a hardware/software bundle; SAM4POS is not available as a generic application and will not run on other Android devices.

Database items such as PLU’s, PLU groups and operators can be added and used virtually without limit, as the memory on the SAM4s Android terminal far exceeds memory available on Sam4POS-style proprietary terminals.

Table Service Operations Overview The Sam4POS provides a soft check system for storing and recalling orders on the terminal. Multiple tracking files can be created; This allows you to set up different files for table tracking, phone order tracking, drive-thru tracking for multiple windows, take-out order tracking or whatever your application requires.
Soft Check Posting The Sam4POS terminals use a Soft Check tracking method for storing orders. It is not necessary to print the check at each posting. The PRINT CHECK key is used to print the check for presentation to the customer.
