We get a large amount of questions about importing UPC codes into a cash register. The answer is yes, but of course it is not as easy as that. You must have the following conditions:
- A commercial grade cash register with a serial (rs232 port) available
- A polling package like PC POLL
- A source for your UPC codes
The set up to accomplish this is not cheap but is is not out of sight either. A decent machine to do this with at least 2500 UPC codes will cost you about $600.00 plus a scanner etc. The software will cost about $660.00, plus all the needed cables etc.
PC Poll is the only package I have found that will import and export UPC codes in a csv or excel file. The packages from SAM do not import. Don’t know why, but they don’t!
