Tutorial – Fiscal printer

The Faktura VAT 2020 program works with fiscal printers from 3 manufacturers: Novitus, Posnet and Elzab.

Status

Select Settings -> Basic-> Program configuration and branch “Fiscal printer -> Status”.

Select the appropriate COM port and the appropriate printer type.

To turn on the printer, press the “Status” button.

In order for the program to print receipts on a fiscal printer, the “Fiscalization of documents” checkbox must be set.

The “Cancel receipt” button is selected when the receipt is printing error.

VAT rates

By selecting the “VAT rates” branch, we set the assignment of the letters “A” – “G” to the appropriate VAT rates.

This option is independent of the VAT Rates settings for invoices.

The program reports default settings that you should change if necessary according to
the settings of your own printer. By pressing the “Load VAT rates from the fiscal printer” button,
you can load these rates from the fiscal printer to the program by hardware.

Install Library

The third branch, “Install Library,” is used to install the printer driver.

For Novitus printers, the “OICFiscalPrinterLib.ocx” library is installed
and there is usually no need to run this option.

For Posnet printers it is a way to install the “Thermallib.ocx” library.

For Elzab printers, you can download the “Elzabdr.dll” library from the manufacturer’s website,
which you still have to unpack to the “Windows/system32” directory for a 32-bit system
, and “Windows/ SysWoW64” for a 64-bit system.

Reports and settings

The last branch “Reports and settings” is used to set additional options and perform other functions
for the appropriate fiscal printer.

There are differences in these options and features depending on the manufacturer and type of printer.

This form sets the “minimum” and “maximum” length of the item name on the receipt.

There are buttons for logging in and logging out of the cashier, they work only for Novitus and Posnet printers.

In the text fields, you enter the cashier and cashier codes, which should be saved in the program
by pressing the “OK” button.

Similarly, for Novitus and Posnet printers, “deposit” and “withdrawal” as well as “cash balance in the cash register” work.

There are also buttons for various fiscal and non-fiscal reports.

There are also options only for certain printer manufacturers.

For the Novitus manufacturer, there is a checkbox “log file write/tracking”. Then the program saves the printer port tracking file in the appropriate
directory.

For the manufacturer Elzab, tracking of printer operations by providing messages is enabled.

For Posnet printers it is necessary to run a separate PORTMON program for port tracking.

“Daily Report”, “Periodic Report” works for all types of printers, but there are differences for different manufacturers.

“Periodic reports” are generally set by date or by sequential number.

“Cash register/change report” is for Novitus and Posnet printers.

“Synchronize time” is for Novitus printers.

For Novitus printers there is a combobox with the “printerdriver” parameter selected.

The “close fiscal printer” button is for all types of printers.

For Posnet printers there is a combobox with setting the flow control parameter. It
can have one of two values: XonXoff and RTS_CTS.

For users of Posnet TEMO fiscal printers it is necessary to set this parameter to RTS_CTS.
They also need to set the Thermal protocol in the printer.
