FP-550F 1
INTRODUCTION
DATECS FP-550F is a compact thermal printer with fiscal memory, which prints cash
receipts and daily reports on two separate paper rolls 58 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-550F fiscal printer
The over 40 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.
As an example may serve the commands which must be sent to the printer to make it
generate a fiscal and a non-fiscal receipt. Only the order numbers of the commands will
be presented and the data there related without getting into the details of the contents of
the special symbols which guarantee the viability of the data and ensure the correct
communication between the printer and the personal computer.
Opening a fiscal receipt
Command:-48 (30h)
Data: “1,000000,12”
The first digit is the operator’s number (maximum nine), the second is the operator’s
password while the third is the order number of the point of sale (department or location).
In a newly purchased printer the six zeros are the operator’s default password - you
may, naturally, enter your own. The third digit is suitable only in commercial centers
2FP-550F
with many points of sale (departments). After entering this command the printer will print
out several “header” lines which will contain the text registration number and the name and
individual number of the operator.
Freefiscaltext
Command 49 (37h)
Data: Chocolate bar “Milka”
The text, sent for printing, comes out directly. Within the receipt, the command may be used
an indefinite number of times - for a clearer description of the sold item or for other reasons.
Registering a sale
Command: 49 (37h)
Data: 2 x 120 <TAB>B2.40”
A text of 25 symbols is printed /prior to the symbol there is a space - 09h/, the price of the
item and its relevant tax group, which is in the 40th position on the line. The commentary
may be of only two lines, in which case the lines will be divided with an <LF>(10h).
Payment
Command: 53(35h)
Data:”<TAB>P2.50”
The command is used for receiving the payment on the registered sales , after which they are
forbidden. Before the symbol the s[pacing might also have a descriptive text of two lines,
which have not been presented in the example. Symbol “P” shows the type of payment
employed - in this particular case “ in cash” - after which the sum due is printed out. The
payment can be performed several times but the closing of the receipt is possible only if the
overall, paid sum is equal or greater than the sum of the sales.
Closing a fiscal receipt
Command:56(38h)
Data: “empty string”
The command print a maximum of two lines of text - usually an advertisement “footer”- the
reg.number of the document. the quantity of the sales registered and the compulsory elements
of any fiscal receipt: fiscal logo, date and hour, serial No. of the printer
and the reg. number of the fiscal memory. After sending the command the paper is unrolled
tothe extent tomake it easierthe cutting offof the receiptand the printingof a newdocument.
A detailed client’s receipt can also be printed - it has the validity of an official tax receipt
which contains a print out of the sums registered within each tax group as well as the
personal data of the buyer. As a difference from usual fiscal receipt the detailed
client’s receipt:
-Sends an additional parameter indicating that a tax receipt is being printed. An
example of such a string is “1,000000,12,I” - the printer automatically prints a ten digit
number on the receipt.
FP-550F 3
-When entering the “pay” command for the first time the accumulated sum
(arranged according to the tax groups) is also printed. With the entering of a free text
the receipt continues with the name, the address and other data on the buyer (a space
for placing the client’s signature must also be foreseen). The document is closed with
the command 56 - the result is a fully valid tax receipt.
Non-fiscalreceipt
Non-fiscal receipts print information, which does not illustrate the registering of sales.
For example, they may offer information on the orders made in a restaurant before the
payment of the final bill - this final bill must be a fiscal receipt.
Opening a non-fiscal receipt
Command: 38 (26h)
Data: “ “ empty string
The command initiates the printing of a header - after which a new command is
anticipated.
Free, non-fiscal text
Command - 42(2Ah)
Data: Free text
A freely entered text is entered within a framework of 30 symbols per line. The command
can be executed an indefinite number of times.
Closing a non-fiscal receipt
Command - 39 (27h)
Data - ” ” empty string
The date and hour are printed as well as the non-fiscal logo and the order number of the
printer. The printer is then ready for accepting new commands.
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 5 bytes, returned by the command. Part of
the bits are informative /opened non-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.
4FP-550F
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.
In support of the lower level of the protocol there is a DOS driver for installing in
CONFIG.SYS. This driver is “responsible “ for the correct transfer of the commands
and the receiving of the results from their execution. Using this driver restricts the
process of operating the printer down to the saving and the simple reading of a file -
also possible under Windows.
Another possible shortening of the control operations of the FP- 550F is the 16-bit
library-type file FPLIB.DLL, which contains all existing commands for the printer and
where the initial processing of the data, returned by the printer.
Together with the printer DATECS offers a Windows-based program called
FPSERV.EXE, which generates all fiscal reports demanded by the local fiscal legislation.
Some basic adjustments and settings to the printer can be performed under this program
too, like: setting the clock, entering new “headers and footers”, editing the number and
size of the tax rates when legislative changes appear.

Control panel indicators
- “Power” indicator
Lights in green when the printer is on and does not execute commands. When the light
is out this is an indication that the printer is “engaged” with a job.
- “Cash recepits” button
Moves the cash receipts papre roll foreward. When the button is kept pressed down,
the printer generates and prints out diagnostic information on both paper rolls.
- “Journal paper roll” button
Moves foreward the electronic journal paper roll. When pressed down continuously
prints out the dailuy report without clear. This can be also generated through a separate
command.
When both buttonÿ are pressed down continuously The printer generates a short peri-
odic report for the whole period of exploitation if (and when) the printer is a non-fiscal
device. The job will also be done throughn a special command.
- “Error” indicator
Activated continuously
when there is no paper in
the device and blinks at
the overheating of one\both
printing devices. Goes out
when the error is cleared.
