Hi,

I'm trying to set up a fiscal printer using a virtual COM port. This also means that i cannot set the fiscal printer as a default. Any one knows how i can set this up on the standard accounts POS?

Thanks

Martin

Hello,

we do not support all fiscal printers. They have to be from the company we did integrations in that country.

Set up is done:

The printer has to be set up as any other Serial Port Device and the following settings have to be set up:

1. Technics module>>Settings>> Local mashines >> create new mashine

2. Technics Module
- Settings>>Local Machine Serial Port Device>>
Code: Fiscal
Device Class:Fiscal Printer
Local mashine: - select (previous created local mashine)
Port: COM1 (Windows)
Port: For direct access (go to terminal and write "cd /dev" next line "ls" - search for similar /dev/tty.usbserial-AH03C5RW - this is the direct port to fiscal printer)
Baude Rate:115200
Date Bits : 8
Codepage: according to fiscal printer
Local Machine: POS user local machine
Device Model: from list of models
Flow control: None
Stop Bits: 1
Parity: No
End with Esc. Sequence (ASCII Codes): if you need to open cash drawer after every operation specify:114

3. User Settings Module
- Settings>>Local Machine:
-Code:Same as specified in Technics>>Settings>>Local Machine Serial Port Device>>

TAB>>POS (for direct access only, middle ware stores e-journal):
-Fiscal Printer Elect. Journal Path and Fiscal Printer Elect. Journal Path 2,
Specify two different locations where Electronic Journal will be saved after Z report is run.
-Use Customer Display - turn it on, if you want to use Generic Pole Display (Local Machine Serial Port Device setting should be set up)
- Settings>>Serial Port Devices>> This setting should be blank.

4. Pricing>>Registers>> Price lists>>
Create new > Code > with vat
Select VAT >> Inclusive

5. Contact Register
- Create a contact >>walk in customer>>
Tab >terms >

tick - Fiscal invoice only
Field >>Price lists>> select your created " with vat"

6. System>> settings>>Round off
Tick:
Discount calculation on: Row Sum
VAT Calculation : Per VAT Code

If you want prices with VAT for all customers:

Sales Ledger module
-Settings>>Account Usage S/L VAT & TAX tab.
Base Price: Including VAT- should be on
Another solution create pricelist for fiscal customer with Base price including VAT on.
