Fiscal registrars and their errors

Fiscal registrars are nothing more than cash registers. But unlike the cash register machine, there are many other purposes. They function through a system that includes a computer with all the necessary software: a keyboard, a barcode scanner and a display for the buyer. There are devices from the printer, the department of fiscal memory and electronic control tape protection (EKLZ). The latter is a mandatory component in such devices, since it is used primarily for reporting on all operations conducted by these devices. It is subject to annual inspections and replacement, as well as registered with the tax service. Minimization and concealment of taxes when using EKLZ become impossible.

Interfaces for connection

The connection is made to the PC using the USB interface. In a small measure, the RS-232 interface is still used. There are models with the presence of both at the same time. The platform, on the basis of which the fiscal registrar functions, is 1C.

Described registrars use more profitable than a cash register, because with their help you can analyze the current state of the sales pattern, as well as carry out marketing research: determine what stocks produce the result and which goods are sold more successfully. Registrars facilitate the work with the staff: they prevent theft, mistakes and plan pay. In addition, help to carry out accounting calculations.

Features of fiscal registrars

Fiscal registrar also has the following features:

• Has unlimited memory, in which it is possible to make an infinite number of items of goods during the whole working day without interrupting production;
• At the same time, it automatically records the goods in the warehouse;
• One of the important advantages is the ability to purchase both for cash and credit card;
• The sales results are calculated as private and general; When knocking out a check it is easy and convenient to read the full information on it, there are no errors on the check by correcting it before knocking it out;
• Possible the payment of funds that are not related to the purchase;
• There is an extract of other documents, including invoices;
• Daily information is stored without the possibility of changing it, turning off the power does not affect this process.

Types of fiscal registrars

Fiscal registrars are of two types: based on thermal and matrix. Currently, the most common is thermal printing, as this is a fairly quick method without using a paint cartridge. Matrix printers are less popular because they are considered obsolete devices. But at the post office, in banks where it is necessary to print an invoice, these are the only possible registrars. Their big advantage is the long-term storage of information on the check, without abrasion, because according to the rules of operation of cash registers, the documentation must be stored for at least five years.

The number of printing stations depends on the printer. Most organizations use single-station devices, they only have a check tape. Two-stationers assume check and control. Those that have, in addition to them, also a document of support, are called three-station documents. And the latter can only be matrix.

Varieties of tape

The registrars use two types of tape: a wide 80 mm and a narrower 57 mm. Accordingly, if the information on the tape needs to be placed a lot, use the first option. On narrow tapes it is often difficult to read the text because of the abundance of abbreviations. It is also worth noting that the control tape used in matrix fiscal recorders lasts longer than thermal paper used in thermal loggers.

Crop and load paper

An automatic paper cutter can be placed on the machine. If the 57 mm tape is still convenient to tear by hand, then in the case of the wide it is problematic. Loading paper is carried out in two ways. The first involves opening the lid, placing the roll and filling the tape into the printing mechanism. The second way cancels the last action - just put the paper. It is ideal in points with a high passability of buyers.

Manufacturers

Several Russian and foreign companies represented in Russia produce such devices as a fiscal registrar: Shtrih-M, Tornado, JV, Fprint, Navy, Felix, Mercury. Manufacturers under the first number began to produce their products (cash machines) back in 1987. Currently, this holding company, which represents all the necessary cash registers (in addition to the registrars described, these are POS systems, taximeters, stand-alone and system cash registers) and peripheral equipment (customer displays, cash boxes, keyboards, cashier monitors), commercial scales , Refrigeration equipment, bar code scanners, payment systems and much more.

Fiscal registrars "Shtrih-M"

The company is the leader among registrar manufacturers in the Russian market. The first device that operated on the basis of thermal printing was the fiscal registrar "Bar-FR-K". Until now, this device enjoys unchanged success due to the availability of basic functions, quiet operation, concise design and affordable price. It is for such a device, as fiscal registrar "Bar-M", usually accept this model, as well as "Bar-Mini-FR-K." The latter entered the market in 2004 and is a reduced copy of the "Bar-FR-K". Due to its compactness it can be used in places with limited space. In addition, this machine has changed: the speed of printing has increased, the design of the strip cutter has improved. The main disadvantage is the lack of a USB interface. In subsequent years, the line was replenished with other, more sophisticated, models.

Fiscal registrars have on their case indicators: power and errors. For proper operation of the devices, each time the power is turned on, the self-test procedure is started.

Many modern models of this manufacturer basically have built-in modems for sending reports to the tax service, they can create a control tape in the formats of electronic documents, and also contain a variety of ports for connecting a cash drawer, a buyer's display and a PC. This allows the use of such devices in a wide range of areas of activity.

Common mistakes and solutions

If a fiscal registrar error is detected, the indicator lights up in red, and through the software a code is issued, whereby the specialist determines the problem. Malfunctions concern the equipment or the program. The most common errors are memory (fiscal or CMOS), electronic security tape and printer. Often there are complex errors that can be combined with each other in different variants. They also have their own specific codes.

Depending on the error, the methods for eliminating it are selected. In general, the work can include the following activities. The machine's settings are reset. This allows you not to break the seals, do not open the case. The integrity of the plug-in connections is checked . This step makes it possible to exclude the replacement of blocks that are in good order, but have bad contact. The firmware is updated with the software in the updated version. This job frees the fiscal registrar from memory malfunctions. Blocks that are faulty are replaced. It is a cardinal measure (especially in the case of viral infections), which makes it possible to completely eliminate errors, including complex ones.
