Upon ordering, you will be sent a registered copy of the latest version, a printed manual, and a receipt for your purchase. You will also receive free e-mail support, notification of new product releases, as well as special upgrade offers as new versions are released. Thank you for your support. System Requirements and Supported POS Hardware ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CashWizard requires Windows 3.x or above. It operates under Windows 3.x, Windows 95/98, OS/2, and any other system capable of running 16-bit Windows programs. This means a 386 or higher with a VGA monitor and 4 MB memory are the minimum system requirements. In fact, CashWizard was designed not to be resource-intensive, such that an expensive computer wouldn't make a computerized POS infeasible. CashWizard is Year 2000 compatible. Beyond the computer, you will need a receipt printer if you wish to print receipts, and a cash drawer(attached to the receipt printer if you want it to pop automatically when a sale is completed). POS hardware is also available from Carter Computer Solutions. CashWizard was developed using an Epson TM-200 serial receipt printer, and should work with any receipt printer which supports the Epson ESC/POS command set(which means just about any Epson receipt printer). The program will also open a cash drawer which is connected to a receipt printer. Please e-mail me if you successfully use other POS hardware with CashWizard, and I'll add it to my compatible hardware list. To connect your TM-200 and your computer, you need a standard serial printer cable. The pinout for such a cable is as follows if you want to make your own; or you can order one from CCS. FEM MALE 2 ------- 3 3 ------- 2 7 ------- 7 4\ /4 5/ \5 6\ /6 8-\ \8 20/ Quick Instructions ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To process a sale, enter an amount, then press a department key, then press a tender key. Amounts entered have the decimal point shifted two places, such that "5" is not $5.00, but $0.05. To enter $5.00, either type "500" or "5" followed by the ".", which functions as a double zero. Depending on how you have CashWizard configured, you may have to log in a clerk. You do this by entering the clerk's password, then pressing either the Clerk button or F5. The clerk's name is displayed above the Clerk button. Various options can be set in the Setup menu, in the General Setup, Department Setup, Clerk Setup, Security Setup, and Colour Setup screens.
