What is ECR
• The Electronic Cash Register (ECR) keeps track
of sales transactions quickly and effectively. An
abundance of PLUs (Price Look Ups) and
department keys accommodate a variety of
merchandise items. This means a faster, more
accurate check out process and the ability to
manage a wider variety of goods and services
more efficiently. And with features like fast,
attractive receipt print outs and an easy-to-view
LCD operator display, the ECR makes managing
the business a pleasure.
