Fromtheconstruction pointofview,itisanindependent microcomputersystem,whichpassesonly
thecorrectdataand registerstheminavoltageindependentmemoryEEPROM.Thismemoryisnot
erasable,withoutthefiscalmoduleopening.Fiscalmodulecooperateswithall operation systems,
whichareableto communicatethroughserialportRS232 (MSDOS,MSWindows9x,2000,XP,
OS2,UNIX,QNIX...).Since fiscalmoduledoesnotrequire anyresidentprogram neithera link
moduleitisnotdependant on aprogramminglanguage usedforcreatingofacashreceipt (slip,stub).
F3000 controlsand recordsindependentlyfromcomputerprogramonlytaxcorrectdata senttothe
receiptprinter.Sofar,theproblemconsistedinhomologation ofUNIXcashregistersystemsthatare
