2. SOFTWARE INTEGRATION & ISSUANCE OF DOCUMENTS

The Factory HKA fiscal printers have an universal integration, it means that
a software integration made for a printer would be functional with other fiscal
printer models, this is because the fiscal printers are programmed to communicate
with a standard proprietary protocol.
Some features of the printers may vary about (Printing check, Electronic
Journal, Type of paper, and so on).
Fiscal printer can issue 11 different types of documents:
Document with Fiscal Printer Parameters
Invoice
Credit Note
Debit Note
Non Fiscal Document
X Report
X2 Report
Z Report (Daily Report)
Z2 Report
Fiscal Memory Report
Reprint Documents (Only on fiscal printers with Electronic Journal)

The issue of the documents quoted before can be executed independently.
