USER’S MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
DATECS FP-2000 is a compact thermal printer with fiscal memory, which prints cash receipts and daily reports on
one paper roll 78 mm (3 inch) 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 - 220 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-2000 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 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.
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-2000
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-2000.
Upon delivery, the DATECS package will contain:
- Paper rolls - 1 pieces;
- AC-DC adapter;
- 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, USB Device or LAN 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.

Fiscal Printer DATECS FP-2000 Version 3.10
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 9 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 Albania these letters are A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and I.
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 four standard categories may be forbidden by using Enabled parameter in the 83 (53H) command. The
commands for registering sales expect these four 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. Nothing is writing in
electronic journal.
2. Normal mode. The device is fiscalized and the tax registration number of the owner is saved in the fiscal
memory. All 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!
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. Nothing is writing in electronic journal. 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. To enter this mode, command 98 (62H) must be sent.
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.
Everything is writing in electronic journal. The tax registration number is registered in the FM and cannot be changed
from this point on. It is possible temporary to enter training mode using command 122.
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.

Fiscal Printer DATECS FP-2000 Version 3.10
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 # Electronic Journal Error
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 DROP *” in an expanded bold
type and will then complete the print.
ISSUING FISCAL AND NON-FISCAL RECEIPTS
A) NON-FISCAL RECEIPTS
The receipt is first opened, a text is then printed and the receipt is closed. The commands 38 (26H) are used, an
indefinite number of times the command 42 (2AH) and 39 (27H).
B) 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), 49 (31H), 51 (33H), 52 (34H), 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
120 (78H) Electronic journal reports.
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

Fiscal Printer DATECS FP-2000 Version 3.10
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
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.
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.

Fiscal Printer DATECS FP-2000 Version 3.10
<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 ADCII 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.

If immediately after the note comes character ‘#’, then the note is higher in pitch by a semitone (sharp). If
immediately after the note comes character ‘&’, then the note is lower in pitch by a semitone (flat).
• Pause: Character space (ASCII 20h).
After a note or pause there can be one or a few bytes, which specify the duration. Valid are characters from
‘0’ to ‘5’, they have the following meaning:
‘0’ basic duration of a note/pause
‘1’ basic duration * 2
‘2’ basic duration * 4
‘3’ basic duration * 8
‘4’ basic duration * 16
‘5’ basic duration * 32
If there are a few durations one after another they are summed up.
• Going to higher scale: character ‘+’.
• Going to lower scale: character ‘-‘.
• Specifying tempo: character ‘^’, followed by a number. The number specifies the percentage: duration of
notes and intervals to basic duration. Values:
‘1’ 200 %
