FP-700
USER’S MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
DATECS FP-700 is a compact thermal printer with fiscal memory, which prints cash receipts and daily reports
on one paper rolls 58/80 mm wide. It is compatible to most European and World fiscal legislation systems.
The functions of the device are controlled with the help of buttons, located on its frontal part as well as
commands, sent via the serial interface. The couplings for the cable connections are conveniently located for fast
access and easy manipulations. The printing devices have low noise emission levels and high printing speeds - 50
mm/sec.
The printer has an automatic paper cutter. Optionally, it can support a display and a cash drawer.
Contemporary commercial activities and the demands of acting fiscal legislation systems demand a
comparatively good knowledge on the ways to operate fiscal devices of different kinds - cash registers, electronic
scales, different types of printing devices. It is for this reason, that the careful reading of this manual before
starting work with the printer may save you lots of time and trouble later on.

WORKING WITH THE FP-700 FISCAL PRINTER

The over 50 different commands which the printer can execute may initially create the impression that learning
to work with it is a difficult job. Most of these commands, however, are related to the starting initialization,
diagnostics and the generating of reports thus decreasing greatly the number of commands directly engaged with
the issuing of receipts and other user’s operations.

PROGRAM SUPPORT
To function normally the program for operating the fiscal printer must be able to control the execution of the
commands, which often fail mainly due to the lack of paper, the sending of invalid commands or simply because of
some minor cable problem. The current status of the printer is monitored by 6 bytes, returned by every command.
Part of the bits are informative (opened fiscal receipt for instance), others indicate error (no paper, invalid
command, etc.). The program must inform of existing errors or - if possible - react to these errors.
There are commands with the help of which the control program can acquire the whole needed information on
the current status of the printer. The printer saves this info in the memory as well as the accumulated sums (during
the day or only within the current receipt) even after it has been switched of from the power feed. If the device is in
the “document opened” mode it cannot close down automatically but only from the control program.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE FP-700

The functional control of the printer is performed with the help of buttons, located on its frontal part and
commands, sent via the serial interface. The coupling of the cable connections are located in such a way as to make
them easily connectable and the whole device fast to set up for normal operation.
Prior to using this device please read these instructions and the descriptions of the application programs
carefully and make sure that you have really learned how to operate the FP-700.
Upon delivery, the DATECS package will contain:
- Paper roll - 1 piece;
- Serial cable for connecting to a PC;
- User’s Manual;
- Instructions for the taxation authorities;
- Passport of the device.

INTRODUCTION
The fiscal device operates under the control of an application program, with which it communicates via the
RS232 serial connection. The device executes a previously set of wrapped commands, arranged according to the
type of the operations which have to be executed. The application program does not have a direct access to the
resources of the fiscal device although it can detect data connected with the status of the fiscal device and the fiscal
memory.
The fiscal device performs the following types of operations:
 Saves the serial number of the fiscal device and the number of the fiscal memory;
 Saves fiscal parameters, like the tax registration number, the date of entering into exploitation, etc.;
 Saves information on the owner - name and address, etc.;
 Saves the daily turnover in the fiscal memory and generates a daily report;
 Generates reports on concluded sales and the content of the fiscal memory;
 Sends data to the application program.

TAXATION CATEGORIES AND CALCULATION OF VAT

Each concluded sale can be related to a certain taxation category (VAT) defining a tax rate, applicable to the
base price used for the formation of the sale price. The fiscal printer can operate with a maximum of 8 taxation
categories, which are most often indicated with the first letters of the language of the country, where the fiscal
printer is used-in the case of Kosovo these letters are A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H.
Each of the first 8 taxation groups (except ‘A’) has a set tax rate (in percent) which is expressed by a number
not greater than 99.00 and by no more than two digits after the decimal point. Group ‘A’ is tax exempt.
Part of the eight standard taxation groups may be forbidden by using Enabled parameter in the 83 (53H)
command. The commands for registering sales expect these eight letters as a parameter.

FUNCTION MODES OF THE FISCAL DEVICE

The fiscal device has two functional modes:
1. The training mode. The device is not fiscalized and all data needed for its normal functioning are
entered and saved in the fiscal memory with the exception of the tax registration number of the owner.
Fiscal receipts can be opened and closed but they always bear the inscription that they are not fiscal. Daily
financial reports (Z-reports) can be generated but they are not written to the fiscal memory.
2. Normal mode. The device is fiscalized and the tax registration number of the owner is saved in the
fiscal memory. Al fiscal rules apply.

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 time are set, the number of the fiscal memory is entered
as well as the serial.
THE ABOVE-DESCRIBED OPERATIONS ARE PERFORMED PRIOR TO SELLING THE DEVICE TO
THE CLIENT ONLY BY AN AUTHORISED SERVICE SPECIALIST!

2
Fiscal Printer FP-700

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.
Command 83 (53H) is sent to the printer.

C) TRAINING 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 fiscal report is possible but it will not be saved into
the fiscal memory. A tax registration number is 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.

D) A FISCALIZED PRINTER
In this functional status fiscal receipts may be issued and they will be marked “fiscal”. The Z-report 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.
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.

E) 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:
Byte 0: General purpose
0.7 Reserved
0.6 Rotated Open
0.5 General error - OR of all errors marked with ‘#’

5.0 * The fiscal memory is in the “read-only” mode

POWER SUPPLY CUT-OFF

The status of the printer at each particular moment is reflected in the so-called “status bytes”. The application
program must get information on the status of the printer when switched ON after a power cut-off. This is
performed by the commands 76 (4AH) and 103 (67H).
The application program must make a decision on the future behaviour of the printer depending on its current
status. It is guaranteed that the fiscal memory will not be affected by the power failure as well as that all
accumulated sums in the operational memory of the device will be valid. If the power cut-off has occurred during a
printing session, when switched ON, again the printer will print a line containing the text “POWER FAIL” in an
expanded bold type and will then complete the print.

ISSUING FISCAL RECEIPTS

A fiscal receipt is first opened, the sales are registered, payment is performed and the receipt is finally closed.
The following commands are used: 48 (30H), 51 (33H), 53 (35H), 54 (36H) and 56 (38H). At the end of the
day a daily financial report and clear are performed in order to enter and save the accumulated information in the
fiscal memory. The function is started with the command 69 (45H).

GENERATING REPORTS
Reports are generated singularly by the fiscal printer upon receiving the respective command from the PC. In
these reports the user’s program will not add any changes to the appearance and content of the reports, i.e., they
appear exactly as they have been defined in the fiscal printer. The following commands are used for the generation
of reports:
50 (32H) Report on changes in tax rates and decimal points
69 (45H) Daily financial report (X or Z)
79 (4FH) / 95 (5FH) Short financial report from date to date /from number to number of the respective fiscal
entries
94 (4EH) / 73 (49H) Detailed financial report from date to date /from number to number of the respective
fiscal entries

LOW LEVEL PROTOCOL

A) PROTOCOL TYPE - MASTER (HOST) / SLAVE

The fiscal printer performs the commands sent by the Host and returns messages, which depend on the result.
The fiscal printer cannot instigate asynchronous communications itself. Only responses to commands from the
Host are sent to the Host. These messages are either wrapped or single byte control codes. The fiscal printer
maintains the communication via the RS232 serial connection at baud rates of 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200,
38400, 57600 and 115200 bps, 8N1. The baud rate is set by adjusting the configuration switches SW1, SW2 and
SW3:

SW1 SW2 SW3 Speed

0 0 0 1200 bps
0 0 1 2400 bps
0 1 0 4800 bps
0 1 1 9600 bps
1 0 0 19200 bps
1 0 1 38400 bps
1 1 0 57600 bps
1 1 1 115200 bps

Function OFF (0) ON (1)

SW4 Internal Display External Display Internal Display
SW5 Narrow Paper Wide Paper (80mm) Narrow Paper (57mm)
SW6 Auto Cutter Without auto cutting With auto cutting
SW7 Half Cut Full cut Half cut
SW8 Transparent Display Normal Display Transparent Display

B) NON-WRAPPED MESSAGES - TIME-OUT

When the transmitting of messages from the Host is normal, Slave answers not later than 60 ms either with a
wrapped message or with a 1 byte code. Host must have 500 ms of time-out for receiving a message from Slave. If
there is no message during this period of time the Host will transmit the message again with the same sequence
number and the same command. After several unsuccessful attempts Host must indicate that there is either no
connection to the fiscal printer or there is a hardware fault.
Non-wrapped messages consist of one byte and they are:
A) NAK 15H
This code is sent by Slave when an error in the control sum or the form of the received message is found.
When Host receives a NAK it must again send a message with the same sequence number.
B) SYN 16H
This code is sent by Slave upon receiving a command which needs longer processing time. SYN is sent every
60 ms until the wrapped message is not ready for transmitting.

C) WRAPPED MESSAGES
a) Host to printer (Send)
<01><LEN><SEQ><CMD><DATA><05><BCC><03>
b) Printer to Host (Receive)
<01><LEN><SEQ><CMD><DATA><04><STATUS><05><BCC><03>
Where:
<01> Preamble.
1 byte long. Value: 01H.
<LEN> Number of bytes from <01> preamble (excluded) to <05> (included) plus the fixed offset
of 20H. Length: 1 byte. Value: 20H - FFH.
<SEQ> Sequence number of the frame.
Length : 1 byte. Value: 20H – FFH.
The fiscal printer saves the same <SEQ> in the return message. If the FP gets a message
with the same <SEQ> as the last message received it will not perform any operation, but
will repeat the last sent message.
<CMD> The code of the command.
Length: 1 byte. Value: 20H - 7FH.

5
Fiscal Printer FP-700

The fiscal printer saves the same <CMD> in the return message. If the printer receives a
non-existing code it returns a wrapped message with zero length in the data field and sets
the respective status bit.
<DATA> Data.
Length: 0-218 bytes for Host to printer, 0-213 bytes for Printer to Host. Value: 20H –
FFH.
The format and length of the field for storing data depends on the command. If the
command has no data the length of this field is zero. If there is a syntax error the
respective status bit is established in the data and a wrapped message is returned with
zero field length.
<04> Separator (only for printer-to-Host massages)
Length: 1 byte. Value: 04H.
<STATUS> The field with the current status of the fiscal device.
Length: 6 bytes. Value: 80H-FFH.
<05> Postamble
Length: 1 byte. Value:05H.
<BCC> Control sum (0000H-FFFFH)
Length: 4 bytes. Value of each byte: 30H-3FH.
The sum includes between <01> preamble (excluded) to <05>. Each digit from the two
bytes is sent after 30H is added to it. For example the sum 1AE3H is presented as 31H,
3AH, 3EH, 33H.
<03> Terminator
Length: 1 byte. Value: 03H.

MESSAGE COMPOSITION, SYNTAX, AND MEANINGS

a) The data field depends on the command.
b) The parameters sent to the printer may be separated with a comma and/or may have a fixed length.
c) The comma between the parameters shows that it is mandatory.
d) When the parameters are closed by <> they are mandatory although the brackets themselves are not present
in the message. When a given parameter is closed in [ ] it is not mandatory - the bracket themselves are also not
present in the message. When parameters are separated by ‘|’ symbol, only one of them may present in the input
data.
The symbols with ASCII codes under 32 (20H) have special meanings and their use is explained whenever
necessary. If such a symbol has to be sent for some reason (for example in an ESCAPE-command to the display) it
must be preceded by 16 (10H) with an added offset 40H.
Example: when we write 2500, 100, Text for the data field then in that field there will be 2D 32 35 30 2C 31
30 30 2C 54 65 78 74 where each hexadecimal digit is an ASCII value.

2BH (43) SETTING HEADER, FOOTERS AND PRINTING OPTIONS

Data field: <Item><Text>
Response: None or current settings in case of Item = ‘I’
Footer consists of 2 lines of text printed at the end of each receipt. It is automatically centred.
Item One symbol having the following meaning:
“0” to “5” Programs one of the header lines. The printer must NOT be switched off while
programming the header. After setting all header lines the command with option “W”
must be executed.
“6” or “7” Programs the footer lines: “6” is the first line; “7” is the second.
“B” Set bar code height in pixels (0.125 mm). Possible values from 24 (3 mm) to 240 (30
mm). The barcode is printed with command 84 (54H).
“C” Permission/rejection of the automatic cutting of paper after each receipt. After
switching ON, the performance of printer is defined in accordance with the setting of
the switch SW5.
“D” Set print darkness. Possible values:
‘1’: Very low
‘2’: Low
‘3’: Normal
‘4’: Dark
‘5’: Very dark
“L” Height of graphic logo and permission/rejection of the printing of graphic logo
immediately before the header. This logo is defined with command 115 (73H).
“X” Enable / disable automatic cash drawer pulse in commands 53 (35H) and 70 (46H).
“W” Makes new header lines active. If printer is fiscalized, writes them to fiscal memory.
“I” Gives us the option to read values, set earlier with command 43. After the letter “I”
only one more symbol follows which coincides with some of the above.

Text A text string:

 If <Item> is from ‘0’to ‘7’ - the text of the header / footer line (up to 36 symbols). ‘0’ to ‘5’ are
header lines, ‘6’ and ‘7’ are footer lines.
 If <Item> = ‘B’ - A number – the height of bar code in pixels.
 If <Item> = ‘C’ - One symbol value ‘0’ or ‘1’, where “0” forbids and “1” permits the automatic
cutting of the receipt.
 If <Item> = ‘D’ - The print darkness (1 to 5).
 If <Item> = ‘L’ Syntax <Enabled>,<Height>
Height Graphics logo height in lines (0.125 mm). A number from 8 to 96.
Enabled ‘0’ or ‘1’, where ‘1’ means, that logo printing is enabled.
 If <Item> = ‘X’ – One symbol: ‘0’ or ‘1’, where ‘1’ disables and ‘0’ enables automatic cash
drawer pulse in commands 53 (35H) and 70 (46H).

Warning! The command uses the current language selected. To program the messages in all 3
languages, this command must be executed 3 times (selecting different language with command 66).
Header lines are writtten to fiscal memory. There is place for 10 header records inside.

2CH (44) ADVANCING PAPER

Data field: [Lines[,Option]]
Response: None
Lines Advancing paper measured in lines. The programmed line count cannot be greater than 99 (1
or 2 bytes). If the parameter is not there the default setting is 1 line.
Option One byte, which defines which paper to be advanced:
“0” No effect
“1” The receipt paper roll is advanced
“2” The journal paper roll is advanced
“3” Both paper rolls are advanced to the set length.
If the second parameter is missing the default setting is to advance only the receipt paper roll.

2DH (45) CUTTING OFF PRINTED DOCUMENTS

Data field: None
Response: None

9
Fiscal Printer FP-700

The command causes the cutting off of the printed, ready document. It must be considered that the program
must advance the paper with at least two lines or the document will not be cut off correctly. If the printer is in the
“automatic cut off” mode it positions the paper itself and the command becomes redundant.
When the printing mechanism blocks for some reason, the paper roll must be taken out of the cutter
mechanism and the command must be executed again. This will position the blade in the extreme right-end of the
mechanism.

2F(47) DISPLAYING A TEXT ON THE UPPER LINE OF THE DISPLAY

Data field: Text
Response: None
Text A text of up to 20 symbols which is sent directly to the display. Prior to this a command for
the positioning and clearing of the upper line. If a fiscal receipt is opened and SW4 is OFF
the command is rejected.

30H(48) OPENING A FISCAL CLIENT’S RECEIPT

Data field: <OpCode>;<OpPwd>;<TillNmb>
Response: FReceipt
OpCode Operator’s number (1 to 16)
OpPwd Operator’s password (4 to 8 digits)
TillNmb Number of point of sale (a whole number of maximum 5 digits)

The FP performs the following actions:

 Prints the header
 Prints the tax registration number
 Prints the number and name of the operator
 Sends receipt counts
The command will not be successful if:
 There is an opened fiscal receipt
 The maximum number of receipts, as fixed for the day, has already been issued
 The fiscal memory is full
 The fiscal memory is damaged
 The operators password is not correct
 No tax registration number available
 Wrong operator password
 The clock needs setting
 Less than two header lines programmed (depends on the selected language!).
After entering three wrong operator’s passwords the printer blocks and must be switched off and ON again to
restart operating.

32H (50) TAX RATES ENTERED DURING THE ACCOUNTED PERIOD

Data field: <YY1>[<MM1>[<DD1>]][,<YY1>[<MM1>[<DD1>]]]
Response: Data
YY1 Starting year - 2 bytes (00-99)
MM1 Starting month - 2 bytes (01-12)
DD1 Starting day - 2 bytes (01-31)

Amount The sum tendered (up to 10 meaningful symbols)
PaidCode One byte - resulting from the execution of the command
‘F’ Error
‘E’ The calculated sub-total sum is negative. Payment is withheld and Amount will
contain a negative sub-total.
‘D’ If the paid sum is less than the sum on the receipt. The residual sum due for
payment is returned to Amount
‘R’ When the paid sum is greater than the sum on the receipt. A message
“CHANGE” will be printed out and the change will be returned to Amount.
‘I’ An error has occurred because the sum under one of the tax groups is negative.
The current subtotal is returned to Amount.
Amount Up to 9 digits with a sign. Depends on PaidCode.
This command starts the calculation of the sums from fiscal receipt, the printing of the sum with a special font
and showing the result on display.
When the command has been successfully executed a further command for opening a cash drawer is activated.
If there is no input parameters, the printer will automatically pay out the whole available sum in cash.
The command will not be successful if:
 No fiscal receipt has been opened,
 The accumulated sum is negative,
 If some of the accumulated sums under taxation (tax group) is negative.
After the successful completion of the command, fiscal printer will not perform the commands 49 and 51
within the opened receipt, although it can still perform command 53.
Note: The codes of error ‘E’ and ‘I’ will never appear in this version of the printer because commands 49 and
52 (registering a sale) do not accept negative sums.

 If article group is 2, then new price is used if it is less or equal than the programmed
price, otherwise command is not permitted.
 If article group is greater than 2, then it is not permitted to replace the programmed
PLU price.
The fiscal printer performs the following operations:
 The name, price and tax group of the item is read from items list, programmed in the printer.
 Prints out the name of the item, selected quantity and singular price. The second printed line
contains the final price together with the letter, designating the tax group from which the sale will
be performed. The registries for accumulated sums and item quantities are updated.
 The price of the item is added to the accumulated sums in the registries of operational memory. In
case of overflow, the respective bytes from the status field will be set.
 If there is a discount or surcharge, it is printed out on a separate line and is added in specially
selected registries in the printer. The values from the whole day will be printed together with the
daily financial report.
The price of the item is shown on the upper line of display and its description - on the lower.
The exchange operation must be with value <= of the accumulated sum for this tax group in the receipt.
After the first exchange command, all other registration commands in this receipt must be of exchange type.
Exchange commands didn’t allow using of discount or mark up.
The command will not be successful if:
 No item has been programmed under the given number
 The item is programmed, but the name for the selected language is empty
 No fiscal receipt has been opened
 The maximum number of sales for one receipt (512) has already been registered

D2 Last number of a document Z-report in the electronic journal.

Commands class 'R': Data reading from ELECTRONIC JOURNAL.
<D1>[,<D2>] Returns the first line from document D1 and sets the end of searching are
document D2 (including). Next lines are got with command class 'N'. If
the second argument is missed, only one document is set - D1.
*<Cl>,[<D1>[,<D2>]] Returns the first line from document number D1, for Z-report Cl and sets
the end of searching at document D2 (including) for the same Z-report.
Next lines are got with command class 'N'. Document counter is for the Z-
report. Example: command „*5,1,3“ will select the first tree documents
from Z-report number 5. If D2 is missed, only one document is selected –
D1. If D1 and D2 are missed, all documents are selected for the Z-report.
<Flg>,<DT1>,<DT2> Returns the first line from a document with date and time DT1 and sets the
searching end at document with date and time DT2 (including). There is a
filtration of the selected documents depending on the argument Flg. Next
lines are got with command class 'N'. Input arguments format:

Flg A symbol which sets the type of document for reading:

'A' All types of documents.
'F' Fiscal receipts.
'S' Receipts form service manipulations.
'X' X-reports.
'Z' Z-reports.
DT1 Beginning and end date of the check up in format DDMMYY[hhmmss]. If
time is missed a default value is used „000000“ ([Link]).
DT2 End date and time of the check up in format DDMMYY[hhmmss]. If the
time is missed a default value is used „235959“ ( [Link]).
The tree previous subcommands (by document, Z-report and data) return one of the next responses:
P,Text There is a destroyed text line in ELECTRONIC JOURNAL. Its content is in Text.
The read text is always coded with table 1251, regardless if it is chosen a DOS
table by the switches. The code table is important for the right calculation of the
SHA-1 check sum.
*, There is a destroyed text line in ELECTRONIC JOURNAL and it is an empty line -
document separator. Can be used for counting of the found documents or for
stopping of the reading exactly at the end of the document.
F No more data in ELECTRONIC JOURNAL.
Example:
One of the previous commands is sent. If the response is 'F', there is not such data in ELECTRONIC
JOURNAL. Otherwise a command class 'N' is being sent until a response 'F' (no more data) is received.
By this way all desired lines from ELECTRONIC JOURNAL can be got one by one as a text.
Q<Addr>,<Bytes> Direct reading of data from ELECTRONIC JOURNAL in a raw format.
This command returns 2*Bytes symbols starting from address Addr. Addr
is set hexadecimal and Bytes – decimal. Data is returned in hexadecimal
format.
q<Addr>,<Bytes> Direct reading of data from ELECTRONIC JOURNAL in a raw format.
The difference in comparison with the previous command: the symbols are
returned as a normal text if they are printable (above 1Fh) or in format
„<XX>” (hexadecimal), if they are check numbers (under 20h).
Commands class 'N':
There is no additional data after this symbols. It is used in combination with some
of the commands class 'R'. Reads the next line in ELECTRONIC JOURNAL. The
responses are the same as the initial command class 'R' and described above.
ATTENTION! The sending of this command without previous one from class 'R'
setting a range of the inquire can cause reading of illegal information!
Commands class 'P': Data printing from ELECTRONIC JOURNAL.
[<Fnt>]<D1>[,<D2>] Documents from number D1 to D2 including are printed. If the second
argument is missed, only one document is selected - D1.
[<Fnt>]*<Cl>,[<D1>[,<D2>]] Documents from number D1 for Z-report Cl to number D2
including for the same Z-report are printed. The document counter is for
the Z-report. Example: command „*5,1,3“ will print the first 3 documents

27
Fiscal Printer FP-700

from Z-report number 5. If D2 is missed, only one document is selected –

D1. If D1 and D2 are missed, all documents for the Z-report are selected.
[<Fnt>]<Flg>,<DT1>,<DT2> Documents with date and time from DT1 to DT2 including are
printed. There is a filtration of the documents selected depending on the
argument Flg. Input arguments format:
Fnt Optional parameter. By virtue of it a document from ELECTRONIC
JOURNAL can be printed with a font with a set height (if the printer can
accept it). One byte with a possible value:
'>' Printing with a normal font.
'<' Printing with ½ font height.

Flg A symbol which sets the type of document for reading:

'A' All types of documents.
'F' Fiscal receipts.
'S' Receipts form service manipulations.
'X' X-reports.
'Z' Z-reports.
DT1 Beginning and end date of the check up in format DDMMYY[hhmmss]. If
time is missed a default value is used „000000“ ([Link]).
DT2 End date and time of the check up in format DDMMYY[hhmmss]. If the
time is missed a default value is used „235959“ ( [Link]).
The 3 previous subcommands (by document, Z-report and data) return in a result the count of printed
documents as an integer.
The copies of the documents from ELECTRONIC JOURNAL are almost identical with the original
documents. The differences are:
5 The copies never have a graphical logo before the header.
6 In the copies there is no graphical fiscal logo.
7 The notice “FISCAL RECEIPT” with fiscal logo is substituted with notice “FISCAL
RECEIPT - COPY” with double wight.

INFORMATION FOR THE VIEW OF THE RETURNED TEXT AT ELECTRONIC JOURNAL

READING
8 The read documents do not have a graphical logo.
9 The centering is imitated with adding of interval at the beginning of the line.
10 Printing with double width is imitated with adding of interval before each letter.
11 If in the fiscal or officail receipts there is a barcode, it will be substituted with a notice
„БАРКОД [XXXX]” („BARCODE [XXXX]”), where XXXX is the text string from the barcode.
12 The read line include only text without the symbols <CR> and <LF> at the end of the line. At
getting a text information from ELECTRONIC JOURNAL these symbols must be added at the end of each
line. If this is done, an external program will be able to calculate the SHA-1check sum and to collate it with
the one recorded in ELECTRONIC JOURNAL - they should be the same.
13 A returned line with a prefix '*' (end of document) must be added in the file too (as an
empty line – only the symbols <CR> and <LF>), because takes a part in SHA-1 for the Z-report.
