HELLLOOO!! IS ANYBODY ELSE TESTINGGGG HEERE!?!?!?!?!
[cricket, cricket....cricket]
Dale, I finally got life out of the way and started to do some testing. It didn't take me long. This bug is in the POSCONFG.EXE.
This one is consistent and repeatable. And is a new bug for 200N. (didn't test 200M if there was one. 200L was OK)
The users settings are not being saved for Journal and Records-Voids. It seems to be very specific steps to make it happen. This is another one of those silent bombs that doesn't give warning or error message. But behind the scene it has mucked things up for the user configuration.
[Well, aside from the minor warning when the screen goes black/white.]
Here's how I do it.
Come along!I'll drive...
1. Fresh install of 200n in C:\200n
2. Start POSCONFG.EXE and File Name the register "200N" and Register Name: "200n" > hit [TAB] > hit 1. Config... [Enter] until you are at the Main Configuration Screen.
3. Arrow down 10 times until
Journal is highlighted and hit [Enter] then press the Any key. (You should be at the Journal Config Screen).
4. Set the journal configuration like this:
Code: Select all
╔══════════════════════════════════════
║ YES Save journal to a text
║ YES Automate journal at op
║ NO Print the journal at c
║ YES Copy the journal to an
║ DALJRNL .TXT using this file name
║ C: to this drive.
║ YES Archive the journal fi
║ YES Erase & reset the jour
╚══════════════════════════════════════
I did mine by doing the following key strokes:
[TAB] > [ARROW DOWN] > [TAB] > [ARROW DOWN] > [ARROW DOWN] > [TAB] > [ARROW DOWN] > "DALJRNL" > [DELETE KEY] > [Enter] > [Enter] > [TAB] > [ARROW DOWN] > [TAB]
NOW HIT THE [Esc] KEY TO RETURN TO THE
MAIN SCREEN.
5. Now from the
Main Screen navigate over to and highlight the
Sale Recording-VOIDS and hit [Enter].
Set the Sale Recording configuration like this:
Code: Select all
╠════════════════════════════════════════
║ 10,000 Number of sales recorded.
║ YES Allow completed sale voids.
║ NO Require void password.
║ Void password.
║ YES Reprint transactions
╚════════════════════════════════════════
I did mine by doing the following key strokes:
[TAB] > [TAB] > [TAB] > [TAB] > [ARROW DOWN] > [TAB] > [ARROW DOWN] > [ARROW DOWN] > [ARROW DOWN] > [TAB]
NOW HIT THE [Esc] KEY TO RETURN TO THE MAIN SCREEN.
Thats it. You are done. Everything seems OK?
Now go back to the Journal Configuration. What happen????
Did your screen switch to black/white?
Did all your journal configuration data go away?
Mine did.
But Wait! this little gem comes with a bonus feature! Return back to the
Sale Recording-VOIDS screen.
Did all your
Sale Recording configuration data go away too?
Mine did.
For a bit of fun after all this go ahead and start POS.EXE..
Could this be an older version of POSCONFG.EXE with the new 200N?
A keen eye will see that the POSconfg has a version of 705k200 but is configuring POS 705n200.
