Notes:

By default Ticket Entry uses a layout designed for touch screen. You can tap with finger or click with mouse.

 

If you would be like to try a traditional screen layout designed for traditional keyboard function key in-put simply press ESC on your keyboard to exit Ticket Entry then click >Maintenance >POS Terminal Setup >Edit button. Then set the screen type to either of the layouts with "function key legends".

 

All layouts can be configured for the way you do business. To get a taste see Layout Your Ticket Entry Screen in F1 help.

 

You don't need a receipt printer or other hardware to take the 1 Minute Challenge. Receipts will preview to screen. If you want to use an invoice (8.5 x 11 inch) printer, receipt printer or other devices see related topics below and feel free to contact support for assisted setup.

 

Context sensitive online help is available throughout Acme by pressing F1 on your keyboard or clicking Help on the main menu.
