Information

Required ECR Programs

The SAM4s SPS-300 Series configured for the Sterling SmartECR solution application will default to the
correct settings required for SmartECR electronic payments. Please review these default settings and
other program requirements:
1. Download and install the latest Sterling SmartECR firmware, verify the firmware version on all
registers.
2. By default, "RS-232 Communications Options" are set correctly for the Sterling SmartECR terminal
connection. Port #1 is set for MPP.
3. "System Option Programming" can be found on page 17 of this program supplement. At the options
"EFT Draft is" select "Y" for Normal Draft. Select "N" if the Fine Dining draft is to print a tip line.
4. The CHARGE1 function defaults to a credit card function; the CHARGE2 function defaults to a debit
card function and the CHARGE3 key defaults to a gift card function. See "Charge Key"
programming on page 21 if you need to make changes to the default assignments. Set the option to
send the transaction to the EFT and set the option to reflect the type of payment: Credit, Debit, EBT
or Gift.
5. If you are using gift cards, see "Group Programming" to set up a group to add value to the card. See
"PLU Programming" to create a PLU for Gift Card additions, link this PLU to the PLU add value
group. By default, PLU #100 is linked to Group #20, which is set for "Gift Card Add" status. The
same PLU is used to activate & add value to gift cards.
6. Beginning at STE v01.109, a TIP function key (key code 418) was added to allow TIP operations
while in the REG mode.
Note: When restoring program files that were backed up from registers currently using the standard SPS-
300 firmware or mBox firmware, be aware that not all program files are compatible with the Sterling STE
firmware versions.
You should never reload all programs backed up from registers using the standard firmware or mBox
firmware format. See "Restore Program from the SD Card" on page 16 for details.
IMPORTANT: You must input the serial number of the register. Refer to page 16 to "Input Serial
Number".
