Does this cash register need to use a computer to work, or the computer is just to program the machine?

The cash register is a stand alone working register and it can be programmed without a computer as well.

This is a stand alone unit. You can use a computer but it is not necessary to operate this unit. All programming can be done on the unit from the keypad.

No you don't have to use a computer. The computer can just make it easier to program. I enter about 800 items with out it.

Just have to program the register. It can do a lot. Read the book or call the support to help set it up. It is a great register easy to use and program once you get the hang of it

No computer required, however for programming batch files it will be quicker and easier to do so with a desktop/laptop, then use the SD Card Slot to introduce the new code/files/programming into the Register from the computer.

No, it's stand alone. you can transfer the data to a computer using a mini compact flash card but it isn't necessary to work the cash register.

It doesn't need a computer at all, though it would be helpful when you're programming in your items or if you would like to pull your sales numbers to Quickbooks. (Inputting text into them is about the same as texting on an old phone.) We don't use a computer at all with them (we have 3) in the concession stand. By the way, the volunteers really liked them and they were easy to learn.

No. It requires a computer with the appropriate software installed to work.

Your bar code scanner will need to have a 9 pin port. If you want to connect to a computer to program the PLU, tax and depts, a null modem cable will do the trick using the same port. Save your programming work to the SD card to easily duplicate programming on multiple registers!

It depends on the pos system you're using. For example using QuickBooks pos you can set it up without a printer as long as you have the proper connection to your register.

Yeah, you need the printer to hook it up to. Then if you use Intuit point of Sale, you can go into file and press " Open Cash Drawer" If the keys supplied do not work, I would return it.

It requires connection to the computer through the USB connection. Also, the display of the action and results is on the computer monitor. It actually replaces the number pad that is missing or broken in the computer keyboard.

No. . . And if you're smart, you'll walk away from this cash register. We've used 5 of them and had BIG problems with ALL of them. Finally bought a couple of Casio registers, and all my problems went away. The Casio is a little more expensive, but WELL WORTH THE EXTRA $$. Haven't had a bit of problems with them. The Royal registers are junk. . . and I do mean junk. Wasted several hundred dollars on them, & none of them worked worth a darn.

No it does come with the cash register. It is probably a good idea for a small store.

We do not actually have it hooked up to our computer system... we only use it as a cash drawer. Sorry I can't help!

So far the register comes on by pushing the on button. However, the machine is solar power operated. Right beside the digital display is a small panel that receives the light and turns it into power.

Yes, you can. Cash Registers Online sells much more powerful scanners, and programs them to work with the Sharp XE_507. I purchased one from them, and the difference is like night and day.

No need to pull trigger. It automatically scans code. Should be able to work with a Mac.

Yes it needs to be registered to work, and it's only good for one computer at a time.

It comes with one to make the beep sound, but, no battery is required to operate this cash register. Have fun!!!
