Through the Printers module, you can manage and configure the settings of fiscal printers and orders. Access this section through the main menu .
NB Except in special cases, the operations described below are usually carried out by the technician appointed by us for the fiscalization of the device. If this module is not used correctly, it can lead to system malfunction or serious misalignment; we advise you to use it only after carefully reading the documentation. Alternatively, you can contact Scloby customer service to make any changes, in a guided way.
In this section, on the left side of the screen, you can see the access to the "general settings" of the printing devices. Immediately below, the list of available printers marked in blue for fiscal printers or telematic recorders, and in green for order printers.
The information on each individual card is explained in detail below, click on one of the items in the list to go directly to the card of your interest:
Printer Creation
From this screen you also have the possibility to add new printers by pressing the button .
Then select the type of printer you want to configure (for example fiscal printers) and then the manufacturer (for example Epson).
Choose a name for the printer to uniquely identify it among all.
NB It is important to choose a clear name, as it will be very useful in case of future problem solving (eg: cash printer 1, kitchen printer, etc.).
Then enter the IP address previously assigned to the printer and press to confirm the operation. After saving, you will find the newly created printer in the list on the left. You can proceed in a similar way for the creation of the printer commands.

Following will be the header lines of the receipt (mandatory by law) and that is all the information that will appear at the top of the commercial document.
The lines must show in order:
- Business name
- Address of the operational headquarters (not registered office)
- VAT number
- any additional optional information (e.g. email, telephone number)
At the bottom of this screen you will see a last table in which you can make changes on further details, such as the message on the recorder display, optional messages on the document, or the printing of a QR Code in the queue, connected to a specific link.
COMMANDS
In this section of the General Settings there are only two options, which if changed will apply to all printers commands.
Here too, in the event of a change, the key must be pressed 13 to confirm. Let's see below what these settings are for:
|
Do not print the contents of the output gear |
Prevents the display of the product names present in the output |
Fiscal printer settings
By selecting the fiscal printer previously configured in the list, it will be possible to access a series of contents divided into four different tabs.
Below is a brief description of each area:
| OPERATIONS | There are some DGFE reading operations, useful for tracing any previously printed documents |
| SETTINGS | Fundamental settings for correct software communication with the cash register and for automatic configuration |
| DOCUMENTS | The list of documents that can be printed, including clearly the commercial document and the non-fiscal receipt of the electronic invoice |
| SUMMARY | A summary of all the data transmitted to the electronic recorder with the "configuration" operation: receipt header, display message, VAT departments, and payment methods. |
The information shown in the SUMMARY tab comes largely from the General Settings .
If the information on this screen changes, it is always necessary to press the key to be correctly transmitted to the fiscal printer. The configuration is possible only after having carried out a fiscal closing. If it has not been performed, Scloby will ask you with a specific message to proceed with the operation.
NB the operations listed in the list require the intervention of technical assistance as indicated at the beginning of this paragraph.
