Aclas CRV3X Type A TIMS Fiscal Printer
The Aclas CRV3X is a Type A fiscal device (ETR machine), built to meet KRA TIMS compliance requirements for businesses in Kenya that need to automatically transmit invoice and VAT data to the tax authority’s servers. It integrates a thermal printer capable of 150mm/s, printing receipts quickly enough to keep checkout lines moving during busy periods, and stores encrypted sales data internally for five years, keeping records ready for audits or compliance checks without relying solely on cloud storage. Security runs through a FIPS L2 certified secure IC, encrypting TIMS data exchange to protect against tampering or unauthorized access. The device supports multiple connectivity options, including WiFi, GPRS, 4G, and Ethernet (module availability varies by configuration), so it can sync with KRA servers whether it’s operating from a fixed storefront or a mobile kiosk. A rechargeable 7.4V/3AH battery allows continued operation during power outages or in locations without a stable power supply, and the silicon keyboard with 30 keys paired with a 65×132 operator LCD and 14-digit customer display keeps daily operation straightforward for staff.
