SK Fiscal Printers Integration Setup
Update 31.07.2025
The integration with VAROS fiscal printers is based on the functionality of the VAROS Print Manager. This is to be installed in the company environment (see Manuals) directly on the computer to which the printer is connected (typically via USB). Each fiscal printer must also be connected to the Internet via LAN (or via Wifi).
Setting user permissions
Permission sets:
- FP_BASIC_ACC: Fiscal Printers - Basic

Setting up fiscal printers
Each physical device must be registered in the Fiscal Printers codebook. The description of the settings below corresponds to the most common configuration, where the Print Manager ("Tlačový manažér") program is installed on each computer to which a fiscal printer is connected via USB port.
Important
API communication with fiscal printers requires an API key, for which you should contact the Aricoma sales department at bc_sales@aricoma.com.

icon, enter Fiscal Printers and then choose the related link.

- In the Device ID field, enter the serial code of the Varos fiscal printer.
- In the Requested Binding Duration field, enter the number of days of validity, e.g. 365 days.
- Run the Create Device Binding action (VAROS API). The Varos printer generates and prints a verification code, which you enter in the BC dialog box and confirm. Verify that the fiscal printer has set the Device Binding Exists to Yes.

Note
With regard to the legislative regulation in Slovakia related to the adjustment of the amount of rounding of cash receipts to 0.05 cents, it is necessary to set in the system also the payment tolerance according to the currency of 0.05.
Connecting fiscal printers to Bank Accounts / Cash Desks
To ensure data reconciliation within the integration, it is necessary to have a separate bank account or cashier card for each type of payment used (Cash, Card, Meal voucher, etc.).
Note
Each method has its advantages and disadvantages, so try out which method is best suited to your business processes. Given the ease of use of the Cash Desk module from the Czech localization, this connection has recently become more popular.
Cash Desk settings
- Choose the
icon, enter Cash Desks and then choose the related link.
- On the Cash Desks page, select the appropriate record and click the Edit action.
- In the Fiscal Printer Code field, enter the corresponding fiscal printer.
- In the Fiscal Means Of Payment field, select the appropriate type according to the Print Manager settings.
Also, don't forget to set the rounding in the Rounding method code field on the cash desk card.
Important
When using the cash desk documents functionality, Fiscal Ledger Entries are only created during cash desk document posting.
Bank Account settings

icon, enter Bank Accounts and then choose the related link.
- On the Bank Accounts page, select the appropriate record and click the Edit action.
- In the Fiscal Printer Code field, enter the corresponding fiscal printer.

Payment Methods settings
In the Payment Methods list, you must set up payment methods for all combinations of fiscal printer and payment means that can subsequently be used on sales and purchase documents to balance them during posting.
If the fiscal printer is connected to a Bank Account card, select Bank Account in the Bal. Account Type field and select the bank account card number in the Bal. Account No. field. If the fiscal printer is connected to a "regular" cash register, select the desired value in the Cash Desk Code field (in the Cash Document Action field, select whether to release or post the document).
Important
In the Fiscal VAT Document field, specify whether you want to register the document as a tax document in eKASA or only record it as an "invoice payment" (i.e., without VAT information, which is contained in the tax document in BC).
