This section of the Store Setup Wizard contains three pages of settings. The first page is where the user enters company-specific information such as the mailing address, email address, fax number, phone number, Web site URL, and company logo that will appear on invoices and packing slips, etc.
It is possible to use different company information for Manual and Point of Sale ( POS ) orders versus that which is used for Web orders. If multiple shopping carts are contained in the same data file, the program provides the ability to apply different printing and report preferences for each shopping cart , so that they reflect the particular "brand".
There are also additional settings related to the printing of POS reports that can be found on the Printing tab of the Point of Sale Setup screen .
The second page has settings to determine the number of copies of a given report will be printed, which report template will be used, and what fields will be included on the reports. These settings can also be specified at the shopping cart level.
Lastly, the third page in comprised of miscellaneous settings, such as determining which reports are printed after Web orders are imported, and which template they will use, as well as visual preferences, such as line shading or the sequence in which order paperwork will print.
Many system parameters that affect Printing & Reporting are covered on these three pages, however, to see the full list of system parameters, refer to the Knowledge Base page, Report Parameter Group.
