Fiscal Printer SYNERGY PF-550
STATUS OF THE FISCAL DEVICE
The status of the fiscal device can differ. Shifting from one to another condition is not always possible. The control
of the printer and the shifting between the different functions - when this is possible - is executed by the application
program Host (PC), which must relate to the included protocol. If this protocol is not applied correctly the printer might
enter into an undesirable status or to skip a given functional status, leading to an
ERROR
.
A) INITIAL STATUS
This is the functional status in which the date and the hour are set, the number of the fiscal memory is entered as
well as the serial number and the code of the country where the device will be operated.
THE ABOVE-DESCRIBED OPERATIONS ARE PERFORMED PRIOR TO SELLING THE DEVICE TO
THE CLIENT ONLY BY AN AUTHORISED SERVICE SPECIALIST!
The following commands must be performed in the order in which they are presented:
61 (3DH)
and
91 (5BH)
.
B) STATUS AFTER THE FORMATTING OF THE FISCAL MEMORY
This is the state in which the name of the currency is entered, the number of the digits after the decimal point and
the tax rates. After performing these operations the fiscal printer is ready for delivery to the future operator (owner).
This is also the status in which the device is kept in the warehouse of the manufacturer.
The following commands are performed in the order in which they are presented:
83 (53H)
and
96 (60H)
.
C) STATUS WHEN PRESENTING THE DEVICE TO THE CLIENT
In this functional state the header and the footer are set - the beginning and the end of each receipt. The header
contains information on the owner (name of the company, address etc.) while the footer is usually a short advertisement
text.
The command
43 (2BH)
is performed as many times as is the number of printed lines.
D) TUTORIAL MODE
The fiscal printer is in this status prior to fiscalization. Receipts can be issued but it must be born in mind that they
will bear the mark “non-fiscal”. The generation of a daily turnover report with clear but it will not be saved into the
fiscal memory. A tax registration number is also entered but not into the fiscal memory and is subject to change. The
clearing of the memory does not cause an entry in the fiscal memory. The clock may be set arbitrarily.
E) A FISCALIZED PRINTER
In this functional status fiscal receipts may be issued and they will be marked “fiscal”. The daily report and clear is
registered in the fiscal memory and the setting of the date is possible only ahead in relation to the last entry in the fiscal
memory. The tax registration number is registered in the FM and cannot be changed from this point on. It is
IMPOSSIBLE
for the printer to exit the fiscal mode without changing the fiscal memory.
The tax registration number of the owner of the device must be known prior to fiscalization. Command
98 (62H)
after which the command
72 (48H)
must be executed.
F) IRRECOVERABLE ERROR IN THE FISCAL PRINTER
This is the status of the printer when a serious technical or logical mistake has occurred as well as in case of fiscal
memory failure. After switching ON the device in this mode a bold sign
“FATAL ERROR: 4”
appears. The printer
does not perform commands for opening fiscal receipts as well as documents, which save data entries into the fiscal
memory. Only diagnostic commands and periodic reports can be executed. Clearing the RAM and placing a new fiscal
memory module must be performed because the module used before the error is now switched to the
READ ONLY
mode.
ALL THESE OPERATIONS MUST BE PERFORMED BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE SPECIALIST
.
The events, which can bring the printer to this state, are:
-
Impossibility to make a correct entry in the fiscal memory;
-
Invalid control sum, tax number, serial number, reg. No. of the fiscal memory or some of the entries which
contain the tax rates.
-
Unidentified format of the fiscal memory module;
-
If during the fiscal memory check up (immediately after switch ON) more than three invalid control sums
from a daily report fiscal entry are found.
The current status of the device is coded in a field 6 bytes long which is sent within each message of the fiscal
printer. Description of each byte in this field:
