You'll probably need to create a "Miscellaneous" stock item, give it a number and use that whenever you need to ring something up which isn't in the stock table. You'll also need to set the "prevent price change during a sale" setting under "Stock Table" in POSCONFG to "NO", and if you want to be ab...

No, in a very small nutshell - you install the DHPOS application on every register and the server, then you configure each register copy of DHPOS to point at the location on the server where DHPOS is installed for the shared data files. You also need open the copy on the server and "tell" it that it...

There is a section on gift cards in the DHPOS manual here: http://www.dhpos.com/postip3a.htm#pay

(Note: this manual is also available when DHPOS is installed, it is the file named REGISTER.TXT).

Strange, Dale - the DHPOS.com homepage is showing up as having been replaced by some hacker's page instead.

Hi there, * Access the stock table editing screen (through POSCONFG, or from the Main Menu -> File Maintenance - Stock Table). * Press [F5] for "Move/Export lines", you can (and probably should) choose to backup your stock table on the menu that appears. * Choose "1. Continue to move/export". * Choo...

It sounds like you have something running in the background/at the same time which keeps taking the focus away from DHPOS. What operating system are you running, and do you have anything else open at the same time you're using DHPOS? What's running in your system tray?

Marcin,

You could try overwriting the files with the older version in a copy of your POS folder and see if it works. Also, note - that the one thing Dale stresses every time an upgrade is put out there is to make a backup first, then it's much easier to go backwards.

Really the only way to find out is to try - we don't have the hardware to do so unfortunately.

The best way is to try it and see - make a copy of your current POS folder and install the new version in there.

Hi there, categories are just ways of breaking your items down for sales reports. Groups are a feature which let you group products together for quick selection from the sales screen. Back in the day, groups were known as the "not a touch-screen" feature, if you've seen most registers at cafes and r...

Yep, as Nick said - if you're going to enter every item into the stock table you can create each person as a vendor or category and associate them with their items in the stock table. Ensure you try this out before your garage sale and check the reports (vendor or category) print correctly and provi...

40 col = 40 columns (40 characters across the paper) which is usually a standard. DHPOS supports 40 or 80 columns, this is set as an option in POSCONFG.

See the following section of the user manual: http://http://keyhut.com/postip4.htm

I have also tried to download the fix indicated on the post linked above, but it no longer exists. As a side note - that link will no longer function as the thread is quite old and the fix no doubt would have been assimilated into subsequent versions of DHPOS. As Dale said above - check you have th...
