You've brought a new fiscal registrar or barcode scanner to the till. You open Connected Equipment, click "Create", select a type — but the Equipment Driver field is empty or doesn't contain the model you need. You can't print a receipt, the till won't start. This is exactly where you land in the "Equipment Drivers" reference book: it's that very list of software drivers through which 1C "talks" to the hardware — the cash register (KKM), scanner, scales, acquiring terminal, customer display. Until the driver is registered and installed, the equipment won't appear in the program. Let's agree on something important right away: this is a service (technical) configuration reference book, not an accounting document. It doesn't make accounting entries, doesn't generate an ESF or SNT, doesn't calculate VAT, and has no printed forms. Entries and 16% VAT will appear later — in retail documents (KKM receipt, retail sales report) that print the receipt through this equipment. That's why the sections on entries and ESF below are described honestly: there are none here, and that's normal. 1. Purpose The reference book stores a list of drivers — software components that link the configuration with external commercial equipment. Each row describes one driver: its equipment type, software handler, and distribution package for installation on the computer. These rows are then referenced by the "Connected Equipment" reference book. 2. Where to find it Path in the interface: - Administration → Connected Equipment → the "Equipment Drivers" link (the connected equipment list form has a command to go to the drivers). - Or via full-text search by the reference book name. You can open the list directly in 1C via a navigation link. Copy it, then in 1C: Tools → "Go to navigation link" (or Ctrl+Shift+F1 / the "More" menu): e1cib/list/Справочник.ДрайверыОборудования 2a. How to find out your release Main menu (icon in the top left corner) → Help → About. In the window that opens you will see: - the platform version (for example, 8.3.24.xxxx); - the configuration release — "Accounting for Kazakhstan, revision 3.0 (3.0.74.2)". If the release is lower, some of the standard drivers may be missing — update via Administration → Maintenance → Configuration Update. 3. How to fill it in Some drivers already come bundled with 1C (standard ones, marked as supplied within the configuration) — you just need to install them. A new element is created only if the required driver is not available. The "Create" button opens the card. Let's go through the fields. Field Required Why and what happens if you make a mistake Name Yes How the driver is named in the list. Write it clearly and with the model, for example "FR Driver (model X, OFD)". A mistake in the name isn't critical, but later you won't find the right row among similar ones. Equipment type Yes The key field. It determines which class the driver belongs to: KKM with data transfer, fiscal registrar, barcode scanner, acquiring terminal, scales, customer display, receipt printer, data collection terminal, etc. A mistake in the type — and the driver won't be substituted when connecting the corresponding device, the till "won't see" it. Driver supplied within the configuration Depends A marker of a standard driver. For standard ones the installation is from the built-in distribution package. For a third-party one — you clear the flag and specify your own file. Handler / Driver identifier Yes for non-standard The software identifier (the name of the external component or the ProgID of the COM object) by which 1C calls the driver. An error here = "Driver not installed" or "Failed to create object" when attempting to connect. Installation file (distribution package) Yes for non-standard The manufacturer's driver installation package. Without it the "Install driver" button won't work. Driver version / component version Filled in automatically After installation shows the actual version. Needed for diagnostics: the KKM manufacturer often requires a specific minimum version to work with the OFD. After filling it in, click "Save and close", then in the card — the "Install driver" button (or "Driver functions → Install"). 1C will unpack and register the component on the current computer. The installation must be repeated on each workstation where the equipment is physically connected. Important: writing to the reference book and installing the driver are different things. The row in the reference book is common to the database, while the driver itself (the file) is installed locally on a specific PC. 4. Worked example A store in Almaty is installing a fiscal registrar with data transfer to the OFD. Receipts must be printed with a VAT rate of 16% (the RK rate in effect for 2026). The task is to create and install the driver. Steps: - Administration → Connected Equipment → Equipment Drivers → Create. - Equipment type: "KKM with data transfer". - Name: "FR Driver — sales floor till". - The "Supplied within the configuration" flag — if the model is standard, leave it; otherwise clear it and in the Installation file field select the distribution package from the vendor. - Handler: the component identifier from the manufacturer's documentation. - Save → Install driver. The program will report: "Driver installed successfully, version 4.x.x". - Go to Connected Equipment → Create, type "KKM with data transfer", in the Equipment Driver field select our row, specify the port/parameters, click "Configure" and "Test connection". Entries in this example: there are none — the reference book and equipment connection don't make entries. The accounting result appears when a sale is rung up through this till. Then the retail document (retail sales report) will generate, for example, revenue of 116,000 ₸ (including 16% VAT = 16,000 ₸): Dr Cr Amount, ₸ Description 1030 6010 100,000 Income from sales recognized 1030 3130 16,000 VAT payable accrued (16%) 7010 1330 (cost) Cost of goods sold written off It is precisely for the sake of these entries and printing a correct receipt that you configure the driver. The reference book itself is only a "bridge" to the hardware. 5. Operation types (driver types) The reference book has no separate "operation types", but through the Equipment type field it serves different classes of devices: - KKM with data transfer and Fiscal registrar — printing fiscal receipts, transfer to the OFD. - Barcode scanner — entering goods by code. - Acquiring terminal — card payment. - Electronic scales / scales with label printing. - Customer display, receipt printer, magnetic card reader, data collection terminal (TSD), data input device. 6. What is generated on saving The reference book is not posted — it is saved. On saving and installation: - There are no entries. The accounting register is not affected. - ESF/SNT are not generated. RK electronic documents are created in accounting sales/receipt documents, not here. - The row is saved in the reference book and becomes available for selection in "Connected Equipment". - When you click "Install driver", the external component (file) is registered locally and the actual driver version is filled in. The only "movement" is the availability of the driver for further equipment setup at the workstations. 7. Printed forms The reference book has no printed forms of its own — this is a technical setting. Printing (a fiscal receipt with 16% VAT, a sales slip, a label, an acquiring slip) is performed by the equipment itself through the installed driver from accounting documents. Service commands are available from the card: "Test connection", "Driver functions", a report on the driver's parameters/version for diagnostics. 8. Common mistakes - "Driver not installed on this computer". The row is in the reference book, but the component is not installed locally. Open the card → "Install driver" on this PC. Remember: separately on each workstation. - "Failed to create driver object" / "Error creating COM object". The handler/identifier is incorrect or the bitness (32/64-bit) doesn't match the platform. Check the ProgID with the manufacturer, install the correct version of the component. - "Driver version is below the required one". The OFD or FR requires a newer driver. Download the current distribution package from the vendor, replace the installation file and reinstall. - In "Connected Equipment" the list of drivers of the required type is empty. You created the driver with a different equipment type. Fix the type in the card — the lists are strictly filtered by type. - "Test connection" fails, the port is busy. The driver is correct, but the wrong COM/USB port is specified or the device is occupied by another program. Check the port in the connected equipment settings and close the vendor's third-party utilities. 9. FAQ 1. How do "Equipment Drivers" differ from "Connected Equipment"? A driver is a translator program (common to the database). Connected equipment is a specific instance of a device at a workstation with a port and parameters that references the driver. 2. Does the driver make accounting entries? No. The entries (Dr 1030 Cr 6010, VAT Dr 1030 Cr 3130 at the 16% rate) are generated by retail sales documents that use the equipment. 3. Is an ESF or SNT generated from this reference book? No. ESF and SNT are created in sales/receipt documents. Here it's only hardware setup. 4. Do I need to install the driver on all computers? Yes, on each workstation where the equipment is physically connected. The row in the reference book is common, but the component is installed locally. 5. There's no standard driver for my model — what should I do? Create a new element, clear the "Supplied within the configuration" flag, specify the handler and installation file from the manufacturer, then install. 6. Where can I see the installed driver version? In the driver card in the version field (filled in after installation) or via "Driver functions". The version is important for compatibility with the OFD. 7. The till won't print a receipt — is the driver reference book to blame? Possibly. Check: the driver is installed on this PC, the equipment type is correct, "Test connection" passes. If so — look for the cause in the KKM settings and the connection to the OFD/KGD. 8. Can a driver be deleted? Standard ones shouldn't be deleted. A custom one can be marked for deletion if no connected equipment references it, otherwise 1C won't allow deletion due to referential integrity control. 9. Is the VAT rate in the receipt taken from this reference book? No. The rate (16% in 2026) is set in the item nomenclature and sales documents. The driver only sends the ready receipt to print and to the OFD. 10. How do I open the reference book quickly? Copy e1cib/list/Справочник.ДрайверыОборудования and paste it into "Go to navigation link". 10. Related documents - Based on what it is filled in: data from the equipment manufacturer's documentation (handler, distribution package, version) and the standard supply of drivers within the configuration. - What uses this reference book: the "Connected Equipment" reference book (each device references a driver); further — the cashier's workplace, the KKM receipt, the retail sales report, acquiring documents, entering goods with a scanner in receipts/sales.
