Paper Receipts
Receipt Margin check for all Users running Crystal Reports *** For clients using Preprinted Paper Receipts Only ***
The Receipt Margin describes how to test your receipt margins (this applies to pre-printed receipts only). Your IT support person may be required if you do not have rights to change your Ease or Ease2008 folder found under Program Files x86 or Program Files.
*** When testing the receipt margins, you must close @EASE and re-open it should a change be made as it is at this time. The program reads the margin settings.

Compact Database Utility for MDB Databases Only
Please Note: This update requires a New Compactdatabase2019 utility.
Run CompactDatabase2019 regularly as a scheduled activity, preferably in the early morning hours when all @EASE users are out of the system.
The utility resides in the same folder as the database. If you have the database on a server, you must install the VB utility below on your server.
The download file is a Zip format containing the.EXE and CONFIG files. Both files need to reside in the folder with the Ease.MDB file.
This should be scheduled to run weekly. For organizations with a high volume of entries, run this utility nightly when no users are logged in.
SCREEN Modifications:
*** For Screen settings, DPI settings need to be Smallest. Use Resolution to make your view larger. ***
Changes other than the recommended method will cause screens not to react properly.
