How to install a fiscal printer

Written by Ionut

CONNECTION:

The Datecs FP-950 MX fiscal printer connects directly to the router using a network cable. Then, connect the device to the same internet network as the fiscal printer.

This is the only supported connection method. Ebriza communicates with the fiscal printer ONLY through the local network (LAN), using the same router as the tablet. Bluetooth is NOT supported: a fiscal printer connected via Bluetooth will not receive an IP address and can never be found when searching in the application.

If the application cannot find the fiscal printer, first check the communication mode of the device: press the BACK button on the printer, then press the up arrow until you reach INTERFACE TYPE, select LAN (Ethernet) and confirm.

To find the IP address of the fiscal printer, press the BACK button, select DIAGNOSTIC, and press FEED. The printer will print the diagnostic report, where the IP address is displayed.

CONFIGURATION:

To configure the fiscal printer over LAN, the DUDE / Config_Tool application is required. Datecs provides the DUDE application for the FP-950 MX.

  1. Connect the fiscal printer to the computer.

  2. Open the Config_Tool application.

  3. In the connection window, select the port to which the printer is connected and the communication speed.

  4. Click Connect.

  5. After connecting, access the Network section.

  6. Configure the network parameters for the LAN connection.

  7. Save the configuration.

The Network section in Config_Tool allows you to configure the device's network parameters for communication over LAN.

After configuring the LAN connection, the printer must be connected to the router using the network cable, and the Ebriza device must be connected to the same local network.

INSTALLATION:

To install the fiscal printer, follow the steps below:

  1. From the bottom of the application, select Devices.

    On the upper left side, you will find the Printers and peripherals section.

  2. Click Add device in the upper right corner.

  3. Select the model you want to install.

  4. The application will search for the printer on the network using its IP address.

  5. Once the printer is detected, click on the displayed result. This should be the IP address of the fiscal printer.

  6. Set the printer details:

    • Name the fiscal printer so that it is easy to identify.

    • Select the room from which you want the fiscal receipts to be issued (Optional).
