GETTING STARTED
1. Set a realistic date that will be your goal for implementing the TRAXX
POS system in your business. The most desirable periods are: the
beginning of a business tax period or the beginning of your business
year, the opening of a new business, etc. Use caution if you decide to
use the TRAXX POS system for sales while you are still entering
information. This can cause your records for gross sales and collected
tax and other system collected data to be inaccurate. We recommend that
you not use your TRAXX POS system until all preparations have been
completed.
2. Decide on the type of receipts you will use in your daily sales.
If you want to have preprinted forms, you should order them from your
printer right away so they will be ready when you are prepared to use
them. The TRAXX POS system is designed to use a form size of 9 inches
wide by 5 inches from top to bottom. Your business heading or logo
should be printed within a boundary of 1 inch from the top of your form.
This will allow sufficient room for the maximum entries of items per page
when printing a receipt.
The use of pin feed or tractor feed paper is recommended. This reduces
the possibility of paper slippage and binding while printing. Most
printers will have this size perforated paper in stock. If your decision
is to print your own heading as designed in the Parameter file, you will
simply need to purchase the stock form from your local Office Supply
dealer.
3. Start the TRAXX POS system and enter the required information in the
Parameter file. TRAXX is started by typing - MENU and press <ENTER>.
4. Collect the information required for the completion of your suppliers.
5. Assign a vendor code to each supplier.
6. Enter the vendor information using the TRAXX POS system.
7. Inventory a small section of your store, completing the information
form described as an Inventory Worksheet.
8. Assign inventory numbers to each of the items on your worksheet.
9. Enter the inventory information using the TRAXX POS system.
10. You are now ready to take advantage of the TRAXX POINT OF SALE Software
from F$OFT.
