Cashier display and keypad

The display consists of eight decimal places. That is, the maximum amount that he can issue is 999,999.99 rubles. For retail this is more than enough. Consumer complaints are related to the fact that the indicator readings are difficult to read - such is the architecture of letters and symbols.

Price

To buy an online cash register, you should decide on the complete set of cash registers. The cost of equipment depends on additional options included in the kit and may vary from distributor to distributor. The prices shown are valid for the beginning of 2019 in Moscow:

How to connect

After purchasing the cash register, install the fiscal drive (to do this, remove the back cover) and plug the device into the network. Connect the cash register to the Internet and register it with the OFD and the Federal Tax Service. In the device settings, enter your registration data and specify your taxation system.

You can configure the cash register both through its interface and using the MercConfig program, which can be downloaded from the official website of the manufacturer. In the second case, you need to connect the device to the computer and install the driver for it. The algorithm for connecting the device to the computer is as follows:

Connect the cash register to the computer via USB or COM port
Through the device manager, find the new Virtual Mercury driver
Select LPT-COM device and update port driver
Run the manufacturer's program MercConfig
Checkout may request a reboot - do it with the start button

You can use a wireless connection to connect the cash register to a PC and some external devices.

The general algorithm for the initial setup is as follows:

Enter administrator name
Enter the name of the individual entrepreneur or legal entity, data of the outlet, type of entrepreneur and TIN
Enter the registration number of the cash desk that you received from the Federal Tax Service
Specify taxation systems
Enter the data of the fiscal data operator, which you will receive after the conclusion of the contract

In general, there is nothing complicated, everything is as simple and intuitive as possible. Difficulties can arise only when installing a fiscal drive - in the 180f model, for this you need to disassemble the device. But Incotex promises to correct this shortcoming in the future.

Brief instruction manual

Upon purchase of a CCP, an instruction manual is attached to the kit. The device is controlled by keyboard commands, which must be entered in accordance with the instructions. Before working with the cash register, you will need to create Accounts administrator and cashier. You can also fill in the product database - you can do it yourself or export the data in the manufacturer's format from a USB flash drive.

Mercury 115f

Before starting work, you need to open a shift and print an X-report. To do this, the cashier needs to press the IT button twice until the inscription “Cash mode” is displayed, press IT, enter the password and press IT again. The screen will display the inscription "Open shift?" - press button 3.

To break through a simple check at a free price, you need to enter the amount, press PI and IT. If you need to calculate the change, then after the PI you need to enter the amount received from the buyer. For cashless payments, after specifying the price, press PI twice, then 00 and IT twice.

If you use a database of goods and services, then instead of entering the check amount, you need to click CODE, enter the product code in the database, click PI and enter the price. If prices are already indicated in the database, then you do not need to enter them after the PI. You can also use a barcode scanner if you used them when filling out the database. The rest of the workflow remains the same.

To issue a check return, you need to press VZ - + - IT, enter the amount to be returned, then press PI and IT. If the check has been issued non-cash way, then after the refund amount, press PI twice, then 00 and IT twice. If a commodity base was used, then instead of the amount to be returned, indicate the code and, if necessary, the price of the goods.

At the end of the working day it will be necessary to close the shift. To do this, press the MODE button several times to switch to the "FN Reports" mode. Then click IT, enter the administrator password and click IT again. The cashier will print a Z-report.

Mercury 130f and 180f

Both checkouts use the same commands to work. The only difference is that for model 180f, instead of the PI button, a similar P.TOTAL is used. All other buttons match the 130f model.

To start working with the cash register, the cashier should open a shift. For this you need:

Press IT twice. The monitor will display the inscription "CASH MODE"
Press IT, enter the cashier's login and password, and press IT again

The monitor will display the inscription “INCOME”, and the cash desk will print out an X-report. Now you can punch checks

Checks are broken in the following way:

Simple check: check amount - PI - IT
Check with change count: check amount - PI - amount received from the buyer - IT
A check with the calculation of the amount for several units or a mass of goods: X "- the number of units - X - the price of a unit of goods - PI - IT
Check with non-cash payment: check amount - PI - PI - 00 - I - IT

У If you use a product database, then instead of the check amount, you need to click CODE, enter the product code in the database, click PI and enter the price of the product. All other actions will be the same.

If the goods are erroneously entered in the check or if the buyer refuses to pay for the products, it is necessary to make a return check:

For cash refund: B3 - + - IT - amount to be returned - PI - IT
For non-cash refund: B3 - + - IT - amount to be returned - PI - PI - 00 - IT - IT

In a similar way, a check is returned from the database, but instead of the amount, you need to specify the codes and prices of the goods.

If cancellation is needed, and the check is open and has not yet been closed, then before pressing the IT key, you should dial the combination MODE - IT - IT - IT.

After the store has closed and cash collection has been made, you need to close the shift and remove the Z-report:

Press the MODE button several times until the display shows "FN REPORTS"
Click IT, then enter the administrator password and login, click IT again
Wait for the message "CLOSE SHIFT" to appear.

Pros and cons

The advantages of Mercury cash registers include the following:

Low price - the cash desk is suitable for those who need to save on cash registers
Long service life of the cash register, strength and resistance to external influences
Built-in battery - the cash register will continue to work even if it is disconnected from the mains
Support for external devices and cashless payment
Easy replacement check tape, battery and fiscal drive
Large amount of internal memory - you can enter a database of 10,000 items
Detailed and high-quality instructions for the administrator and cashier from the manufacturer

At the same time, such a cash desk has the following disadvantages:

Push-button control of the cash register - can scare away those who are used to working with touch-screen smart terminals
Possible problems when entering, editing or importing items
Cannot be used as a fiscal registrar
Receipt printer does not have a built-in auto cutter

Which enterprises should buy a Mercury cash desk

In general, such an online checkout is perfect for any individual entrepreneur or LLC that needs to comply with the requirements of 54-FZ, and which is limited in funds. It is suitable for both traveling business (couriers, mobile shops and many others), and for stationary trade. Fast Print tape helps with very active trading, which gives a clear advantage over other devices. The latest firmware version also allows you to use the cash register for an online store and the sale of alcohol (in the second case, you will have to purchase a special module).

The equipment can work both via the network and autonomously using a battery, and takes up little space at the point of sale. Up to 16 cashiers in 16 departments can work with one device.

Please note that Mercury 130F is not suitable for traveling trade. Despite a good battery that holds a charge for a long time, the design of the cash register makes it inconvenient to use at a mobile point. Therefore, for this purpose, it would be better to buy a model 180F or 185F - they are designed specifically for this format of work.
