Questi reparti sono editabili ma NON eliminabili. Si suggerisce di configurare le caratteristiche e l ordine dei reparti PRIMA su ipratico POS per poi riportare esattamente uguale la stessa configurazione sulla stampante fiscale (o viceversa). L associazione dei reparti e POSIZIONALE: la descrizione Reparto 1 di ipratico POS e solo un testo di comodo e non si lega al Reparto 1 della stampante fiscale. ESEMPIO: Per la seguente configurazione di ipratico POS 13
Verranno configurati i reparti della stampante fiscale nel seguente modo: Reparto 1 della stampante corrisponde al reparto IVA Esclusa di ipratico POS (RICORDARSI LA CORRISPONDENZA POSIZIONALE!!!!). Associare al reparto 1 della stampante le stesse caratteristiche del reparto ipratico POS IVA esclusa. Viene suggerito di non impostare il LIMITE MASSIMO su una battuta per reparto. Il limite massimo e utile per evitare che un errore di battitura causi la stampa di scontrini di importo elevato. ipratico POS mette sempre in evidenza il totale del documento e ogni riga e sempre editabile (si puo quindi correggere) PRIMA della stampa del documento. 14
