The AMC 100K cash register is one of the most common cash registers on the domestic market. The predecessor of the named model is considered to be the AMC 100 device. It was produced in the 90s of the last century at the plant for the production of telegraph equipment in Kaluga. It is worth noting that the first modifications were not even equipped with a fiscal memory unit.
History of Creation
The AMC 100K cash register was launched in 2004. It is still being produced, and its feature was the introduction of a protected control electrical tape. The device can be used in any retail outlets, including the service sector, cash payments for oil and gas products and the placement of materials in open areas or under a canopy.

AMC 100K cash register: characteristics
There is a keyboard on the front of the device. Here the keys are placed according to their intended purpose:
- function block with letter designation;
- sectional panel with numbers and letters;
- auxiliary buttons.
The keys are pressed quite softly, which is quite normal for a working device. At the same time, the keyboard itself is resistant to pollution, however, it is afraid of moisture. The inscriptions on the buttons are distinct, there is no backlight.
In the review of the AMC 100K cash register, we will consider the display. The screen of the device is made in a dual configuration (according to the principle of "monitor of the buyer"). It displays information on the back, facing the consumer, and in the main window of the seller. In working order, the screen with seven segments can accommodate twelve character spaces.
The advantages of this solution include the ability to function in poor lighting conditions with simultaneous legibility of numbers. In addition, the unit is durable and has high maintainability. Among the minuses is a limited set of characters, which leads to a low level of performance.
Printing device
If you study the instructions for the AMC 100K cash register, you can find out that the printing mechanism has not changed since the very beginning of the serial production of the device in question. In fact, this partis a thermal printer. The press happens in process of the directed heating of special paper. The width of the check tape is 5.7 cm. The "delay" in the development of the node in question does not mean that the developers have no other ideas. The fact is that such a design has proven itself on the positive side, differing in practicality and reliability. Such printers break down very rarely, do not require special care.
The only part that has been upgraded is the print head. Despite the fact that it has a low cost, the quality and reliability of work is much lower than foreign analogues. The printer mechanism is accessed by opening the protective cover. It is equipped with a special metal element for even tearing off the check.
