What Printing Options Are Available Today?
Fiscal Printers and other Memory Devices
A Fiscal printer is a receipt printer which include a fiscal memory module. The module records every transaction for easy reporting of tax owed to a country while printing a carbon copy for the customer.
Other fiscal memory devices also exist including fiscal cash registers and electronic signature devices. Alternatively, an external fiscal mechanism could also be used which connects a regular receipt printer within a POS terminal. It supports the printing of documents and the auto backup of tax records. With many options on the market, all pieces of equipment must be certified by the local governments and connect to POS terminals to provide accurate reporting.
Fiscal Software
Alternatively, some countries have opted for fiscal tracking software, taking away need for a fiscal memory module from the hardware and has opted for third party software to work in conjunction with the POS printer and terminal. These types of software record every transaction and create a fiscal log which is stored in the cloud but can also provide a physical receipt. This specialised software allows instant access to transactions while being used with general POS hardware reducing additional costs for updating an entire estate.
