share directory on a network. Check box 'Reconnect at start up'

is OK.

Another
way of setting up your additional services. |
 |
Program
supports nine charge settings for additional services. By default
it is set to a charge for Coffee, Tea, Drinks, Print, Scan etc.
What if you do not sell any goods or do not use all 9 settings?
You can use them as just money pre-sets like: $1,
$10, ¢50 etc.
For example: if you are using all 3 user's charge rates (Guest, Student,
Member) and you also want to vary price based on time of day (cheaper
rates in the morning more expensive rates in the evening).
You need to set-up your user's charge rates at the lowest rate you
have (morning rate). Setup one or more money pre-sets in order to
reflect price increase during the evening. You need to experiment
with this since it's mainly depends on how you are increasing rates.
In the evening simply add one of the money pre-sets when calculating
total. |

Another
way of setting up user's charge rates. |
| |
Program
supports three charge rates for three different categories. By default
it is set to three categories of users, like 'Member', 'Student'
and 'Guest',
What if you have only one or two category of users?
You can use rest of them to operate on time based categories, like
'Day' or 'Evening' or 'Night'. |
