How To Guide Fiscal Italy RT Server
Italy Fiscalisation Introduction
In Italy , POS fiscalisation is a legal requirement for businesses to ensure accurate and transparent financial reporting.
It's important for businesses in Italy to select a certified fiscal solution and ensure proper installation and configuration of the system to meet fiscalisation requirements. Failure to comply with POS fiscalisation regulations can result in penalties, fines, or legal consequences.
Overall, POS fiscalisation in Italy aims to enhance transparency, combat tax evasion, and streamline the process of tax collection by leveraging electronic recording and reporting of sales transactions.
Notes
The Enactor solution works with the RT Server and RT Adapter provided by NCR, approved by the Italy Tax Authority for fiscalisation. This avoids the need for the POS solution to be certified instead relying on the certification obtained by NCR.

Upon successful synchronization, the printer will automatically generate several receipts as confirmation.
After this, the POS is ready for use. You can add an item to the basket, press Total, choose a Tender method, and complete the transaction as usual.
