Remarks on program function

A fiscal printer type Tring fiscal print service (Bosnia Herzegovina) can be set up with this program. Data which has already been stored can be displayed.

The device interface (type = IP address) and a link to a processing unit must be defined in addition to the specific printer parameters.

Please note:
Additional settings for operating a fiscal printer are necessary in the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application. Further information can be found in the documentation entitled FISCALISATION.

Remarks on data fields

All options available for update of the basic data have been described below.

As with nearly all programs the following also applies here:

The entry mask in the application program may differ for this program. Some data fields may be missing
There may be some defaults or firmly defined selection options for some data fields. These cannot be updated in the current program.
The entry mask contains fields where entry is optional and fields with enforced entry defined.
If the data record is updated over several pages of entry masks, the dialog window is reached by clicking onto the appropriate button with <Mouse key 1>.
The same procedure also applies to call-up of another update program from this program.
In some cases, you may find so-called "Switches" which are activated or deactivated by the user with <Mouse key 1> depending on the setting. Activated switches have a dark top, deactivated switches are lighter.

Debug

Field with firmly defined selection options

Select one of the offered debug levels by clicking on this field and with a second click selecting the level required.

The system offers the following:

0 = no protocol of data communication in file "errlog"
1 =
2 =
3= all communication data in file "errlog"

Note:
Only select a value higher than "0" for the debug level if a protocol for communication of the terminal is necessary for error analysis.

Usage

Entry range permitted: numeric, 1 -9

Default = 1

Ident. no. fiscal module

Entry range permitted: numeric, 1 - 999999

Fiscal identification number, 2 characters AB or AC, followed by a 6-digit decimal number. Since different printer models share different identification number ranges, it is not necessary to configure the printer type separately.

Item no. digits in description

Entry range permitted: numeric, 0 - 99

Since the Tring.fiscal server does not allow printing the item no. in a different line, it is possible to specify a number of digits of the item number that the driver places in front of the item description to form the printer specific item name. Default 0.

No. of trailer lines

Entry range permitted: numeric, 0 - 9

Default = 1

Number of trailer lines (max. 4). Since trailer lines will be set only once during the day, the number of trailer lines can be decremented to allow additional footer lines at the end of a fiscal receipt. Keep in mind that the number of trailer lines + number of additional footer lines are limited by 4.

Allowed VAT groups

Entry range permitted: alphanumeric, max.5 pos.

Default = EK

Specifies the VAT group used by the fiscal server. The default of EK should only be changed in case of specific usage, e.g. in duty-free shops or travel agencies.

Payment processing

Field with firmly defined selection options

The system offers the following:

Allow print after payment (default)
If selected, the driver simply buffers the payment values even if the the payment() function enters receipt ending state. In that case, the whole receipt will be passed to the printer when the end() function will be called.
No print after last payment
Even if there remains free space for additional trailer lines after the last payment, the whole receipt will be sent to the printer when the payment() function enters receipt ending state. Afterwards, the only allowed function is end(), neither printExtra() nor abort() will be accepted.
No print, amount check
Same processing as before, but additional amount check will be performed by payment() function whenever it changes to receipt ending state: The new daily turnover will be retrieved from the printer and the printer's receipt total will be computed as difference from the previous and the new turnover. As consequency, a situation might occur where the driver is in receipt ending state, but it also reports a positive remainder to the application. Nevertheless, the only allowed action afterwards is to call the end(), an additional payment won't be possible.

Use "Pay rest" feature

Switch activated: The last payment will be passed via pay rest feature if the computed cash back is 0.
Switch deactivated: In case of rounding errors, the printer may change the last payment to the value it expects.

Minimal data exchange

Schalter aktiviert: Reduced data exchange.
Schalter deaktiviert: No reduced data exchange.

Note:
Since the data exchange is extremely slow, the toggle "minimal data exchange" can be switched on to reduce the data exchange. When the toggle "Payment processing" is set to "No print, amount check" as well, the performance is bearable. In this case the calculation of the total amounts will be done from the driver only, .independently from the printer. Please be aware that possible rounding differences will not be recognized.
