POCOK8

The POCOK8 card is suitable for fiscal operation in PC-based cash register. The board is made with SMD-BGA technology. The base is an Axis RISC microprocessor, which manages alone the whole card, the temporary storage, the electronic journal, the fiscal memory and peripheral devices of the cash register.
The communication with the host personal computer is through standard RS232C port. According to the commands from the host machine the card makes the proper receipt, invoice or report. In the meantime it achieves the official required fiscal collection and journal, besides it is treating the connected peripheral devices.
The host computer is able to inquire either all the functioning parameter of the fiscal card or all the contents of the fiscal memory. From these data the application is able to do discretional reports. Of course the prescribed obligatory documents are made by the card either automatic (daily total report) or for request (optional data from fiscal memory).
