NederlandsTo comply with Italian regulations, you can set up an Italian fiscal printer to print all legally required receipts using a fiscal printer authorised by the Italian government. If your property uses both Mews POS and Mews Operations on the same fiscal printer, you need to configure the printer so that both systems work together without conflict. POS and PMS share the same VAT groups but use separate, non-overlapping department ranges.
Note
- Mews POS uses departments 1–10 only. Mews Operations uses departments 60–69 and 80–89. You must not reassign departments 1–10 to Mews Operations.
- Always consult your finance team before making changes to your fiscal printer configuration.
In this article, you can learn about:
Prerequisites
- To use the Italian fiscal printer with Mews POS, you need one of the following printers:
- Epson FP81 II
- Epson FP90 III
- You need to have the Fiscal machine integration connected in Mews Operations and your fiscal printer already set up and connected. If you have not done this yet, follow Steps 1 to 3 in the How to set up Italian fiscal printers for Mews Operations article before continuing.
How to set up the fiscal printer for Mews POS
Step 1: Configure the VAT/ IVA rates
In this step, you configure the VAT groups in the Epson software. Mews POS and Mews Operations share these values, so they must match exactly. Do not change them after setup. To configure the VAT/ IVA rates:
- Open the Epson software, EpsonFpWizard.
- Click Manutenzione.
- Click the icon to open the Simulatore Cassa.
- Go to Strumenti > Programmazione > IVA / Nature > Aliquote IVA / Nature / Ventilazione to view your Aliquote IVA.
- Ensure that the table under Aliquote IVA Attuali matches the following values:
| nA | VAT/ IVA (valore attuale) |
| 0 | ESENTE |
| 1 | 0% |
| 2 | 4% |
| 3 | 5% |
| 4 | 10% |
| 5 | 22% |
| 6 | 0% |
| 7 | 0% |
| 8 | 0% |
| 9 | 0% |
| 10 | EE |
- If your values match the table, proceed to Step 2.
- If your values do not match, complete the following steps:
- Do the daily closure.
- Set all VAT rates to zero.
- Enter the new values as shown in the table above.
- Click Impostare Aliquoti Attuali to save the settings.
Note: If you have trouble updating the values, contact Epson support.
Step 2: Configure the POS departments
In this step, you configure departments 1–10 in the Epson software for use by Mews POS. These departments must not be used by Mews Operations.
- Go to Strumenti > Programmazione > Reparti.
- Update the name of each department as you prefer. Note: You do not need to update all reparti, just the ones referenced in this guide.
- Set the iva for each department according to the mapping table below.
- Click the
confirm icon after filling in each department to save.
Note: You can configure other fields such as description, prices, and print groups as needed. The VAT group assigned to each department must follow the mapping table exactly.
