About the SAM4s ER-285M

The SAM4s ER-285M electronic cash register features a flat spill-resistant 49-position
keyboard with 15 category keys. Because this model has a flat keyboard, you can quickly
and easily setup or change key labels by printing or typing on the key sheet that lays under
the protective overlay. This configuration is ideal for a wide range of food service
environments or retail environments where the possibility of spills may be an issue. With its
superb thermal printing system, the ER-285M provides extremely fast and quiet operation.
