          COMPANY SETUP
          Before you use Micro Register you must first  setup  the  program
          with information about your business.   This is done by selecting
          option [S] on the main menu.   The company setup  consists  of  2
          pages and has 17 options that you can change.

          Company Setup Page 1
          Your options in Company Setup are:
          Changing  one line by entering the line number at the "Enter Line
          # To Change?" prompt.
          Pressing [F1] to save what is displayed on the screen and  return
          to the menu.
          Pressing  [F2]  to  undo  changes  and  return screen to previous
          settings.
          Pressing [F9] to change all lines.
          [PgDn] to display second page of setup information.
          Lines 1 though 4 -   These  4  lines  are  your  companies  name,
          address  and phone number.   This information will appear on your
          invoices and statements.

          Sales Tax Codes
          Line 5 -  Are the sales tax codes.   You can have  up  to  4  tax
          codes,  the first code should be the most used as it is a default
          code.  If you have only one sales tax in your state then place it
          in code 1 and leave codes 2 - 4 zero.
          Line 6 -  This is the next  number  to  appear  on  your  printed
          invoices.    Micro  Register  automatically  numbers each invoice
          printed.   You may change this number at any  time  such  as  the
          beginning  of  the year.   After entering the next invoice number
          you will be prompted for an AUTO or  MANUAL  number.    A  manual
          number  would allow you to change each invoice number at the time
          of the transaction and a auto number would not.    Keep  in  mind
          that  Micro  Register  will  always keep track of the last number
          used,  the manual option just allows you to change the number  if
          you wish.
          Line  7  -      The  annual  percentage  rate charged on past due
          receivables.
          Line 8 -  The due time in days of receivables.
          Line 9 -  Three lines of information  to  be  displayed  on  each
          invoice  printed.    This can be used to advertise store sales or
          the hours of your business.

          Company Setup Page 2
          Line 10 -  Password Protection On:
          This is where you define which areas of the program you  wish  to
          password  protect.    Each line is menu selection of the program.
          After selecting option 10 you can then highlight the the lines by
          using the up or down arrow keys.    To  add  or  remove  password
          protection press [ENTER] at the highlighted number.  Pressing the
          [ENTER]  key  acts  as  a switch to add or remove the check mark.
          When the line has a check mark by it, it has password protection.







          Password
          Line 11 -  A password you can assign to  Micro  Register    which
          works with the information on option 10.
          Line  12  - These are the printer codes used to make your printer
          print condensed or normal type.   Many  printers  use  the  EPSON
          codes which would be 27  15 for condensed print and 18 for normal
          or  to release condensed print.   If these codes do not make your
          printer print in condensed format then check your printer  owners
          manual for the proper codes and enter them here.
          Line 13 -  Allows you to identify the 3 accounting total headers.
          These headers will be displayed on the Accounting Information and
          on the inventory file information.
          Line  14 -  This option gives you the option of allowing negative
          amounts to accumulate in the quantity on  hand  amounts  of  your
          inventory items.
          Line 15 - Allows you to save past invoices.
          Line 16 - Allows you to save past quotations.
          Line  17  -    An  option used for the printing the invoice or 40
          column receipt.  Entering an A here would always print an invoice
          or receipt.   Entering an N here would never print an invoice  or
          receipt  and  a  P  here  would  prompt  you with the line "Print
          Invoice (Y/N)?" giving you the option to print,  or not to  print
          at  each transaction.  After type you answered the invoice option
          prompt,  you must enter which type.   1 would be a 80 column full
          page  invoice and 2 would be a 40 column receipt.   To use the 40
          column receipt you  must  have  a  Star  DP-8340  serial  receipt
          printer.

          STARTING  MICRO REGISTER
          To start The Micro Register,  at the C prompt,  type MR and press
          [ENTER].    After  the  program  loads  The  main  menu  will  be
          displayed.

          THE MAIN MENU
          The main menu is the central control area of the program.   It is
          from this area you will access the different modules of The Micro
          Register.   To select a menu option,  use the arrow keys to  move
          arrow pointer to the desired line and press [ENTER] or key in the
          number of the line.

          SALES TRANSACTIONS
          The  sales  transactions is where sales are enter and the invoice
          is printed.   After selecting option 1 from  the  main  menu  the
          transaction screen will be displayed.

          If  you installed The Micro Register with a manual invoice number
          (in the setup program),  you will be  prompted  for  the  invoice
          number.    Here,  you  can  enter  in the invoice number or press
          [ENTER] to accept the next number kept  track  of  by  The  Micro
          Register.






          If  you  enter  in  an invoice number,  that number be be used to
          calculate the next number.  Keep in mind that this prompt is only
          displayed if you answered with  an  M  for  the  AUTO  or  MANUAL
          invoice number option in the setup program.
          At  the "Customer :" prompt you have 4 options.   The first is to
          enter a customer account number, which if exist, will display the
          customer.   The second option would be entering a customers  name
          this  would make The Micro Register search for the name you keyed
          in and display each match found.  To search by name you the first
          character must be a "?", i.e. to search for JONES, FRANK A.   you
          would key in ?JONES.
          When  a  match  is  found,  it will be displayed and you would be
          prompted with an "OK (Y/N/P/ESC)?" ( Here,  if you answer with  a
          Y,  or  press [ENTER] for YES,  and then be readied to enter item
          numbers).     If you enter an N here the next occurrence would be
          displayed,  and  a  P would display the previous match.   You can
          keep pressing N or P until you  find  the  customer  or  no  more
          matches  are  found.    The  third  option  would be to type in a
          customers name and address that does not exist  in  the  customer
          account  file.    To  do this you must enter a period (.) for the
          first character of the first line.  This tells The Micro Register
          not   to  search  the  files  and  allows  you  to  continue  the
          transaction.  The purpose of this is to allow you to enter a name
          and address to be printed on the invoice. The Micro Register does
          not save this name.   The fourth and last option here would be to
          press  [ENTER],  this  would  display  the word CASH and then you
          would be prompted for the first item number of the invoice.  This
          is used for cash sales and the  customers  name  address  is  not
          needed.
          When  entering  an  inventory  item  number,  if  it  exist,  the
          description will be displayed and you will be  prompted  for  the
          quantity sold.   After entering the proper quantity, the price of
          the item and the extended amount will be displayed with an  "OK?"
          prompt.    Answering with a Y or pressing [ENTER] here would drop
          the the cursor down to enter another item.  Entering N here would
          back the cursor up under the "Price" column,  which  would  allow
          you to change the selling price by entering price code A,  B,  C,
          D,   or keying in an amount manually (at this point you may erase
          the line and start it over by pressing [ENTER]).   Another option
          at the "OK?" prompt is to enter a C.   This  is  for  entering  a
          comment  or  serial  number for the item being sold.   Pressing C
          would drop the cursor down below the items description  to  allow
          you  to  enter  the  information.   To quit entering information,
          press [ENTER] at the beginning of the next new line and you  will
          then  be prompted for the next item number on the invoice.   Keep
          in mind that each invoice can hold up to 25  total  lines.    The
          screen will scroll when it becomes full.
          When  you  are  done entering items just press [ENTER] to get the
          sub-total of the invoice.  Here the sales tax is  calculated  and
          the total due is displayed.







          PAYMENT TYPE
          To complete the transaction you must enter in the type of payment
          received.  There are six payment types; 1 CASH, 2 CHECK, 3 CREDIT
          CARD,  4 GIFT CERT,  5 OTHER,  and 6 ACCTS REC.  If the sale is a
          CASH type, payment type 1 CASH will be displayed.  You may key in
          another payment type (1 though 6) if you wish.  When  the  proper
          payment  type  is  displayed,   press  [ENTER]  to  complete  the
          transaction.    Payment type 6 ACCTS REC can only be  used  if  a
          customer account is displayed.
          If  the  sale  has a 1 CASH payment type you will be prompted for
          the amount tendered or cash received.  You may enter  the  amount
          here and the change due will be calculated. This prompt can be by
          passed by pressing [ENTER].  If you wish to enter more items, the
          [F3] function key can  be  pressed,  which  will  return  you  to
          entering item numbers for the transaction.    Micro Register will

          search  by  or  press [ENTER] to list all items in your inventory
          file and the item number,  price,  and quantity on hand  will  be
          displayed.    If  there  is a customer currently displayed on the
          screen when using the inventory window,  then the prices will  be
          the  price code which that customer has.   If no customer or CASH

          at one time.  To view more items, you can use the Page Up or Page
          Down  keys.    If you wish to search by a different key press the
          [ESC] key to clear the window and start a new  search.    If  the
          inventory  window  is  opened while you are entering items on the
          invoice you will have the option of moving an arrow (with the  up
          and  down arrow keys on your keyboard) displayed on the left side
          of the item description.   Aligning this arrow next  to  an  item
          displayed  and pressing the [ENTER] key will close the window and
          place the item on the invoice.






          If you wish to exit without placing  the  item  on  the  invoice,
          press the [F1] key.

          [F6] View Invoices
          The  [F6]  key  will  allow  you  to  view  all  past invoices or
          quotations.

          If you wish to search for an invoice by name,  enter in up to ten
          characters of the name and if  found  the  first  match  will  be
          displayed.    You  will then have the option of locating the next
          match by pressing "N",  the previous match by  pressing  "P",  or
          cancel the search by pressing the [ESC] key.

          Disk Space Requirements for Saving Invoices
          Saving  past  invoices and quotations requires much space on your
          hard disk drive.   1,000 invoices or quotations will occupy about
          1.5  meg of space.   To control the amount of disk space used you
          will need to occasionally purge this file.

          Credits & Refunds
          To enter a credit for returned merchandise you would first  enter
          the  number  of  the  item  being returned.  Answer No at the OK?
          prompt,  and key in a negative number (which would be the  amount
          of the credit).  WHEN A NEGATIVE NUMBER IS ENTERED ON AN ITEM THE
          QUANTITY SOLD WILL BE ADDED BACK INTO INVENTORY AND THE CUSTOMERS
          AND  ITEM  TOTALS WILL BE ADJUSTED ACCORDINGLY.     Remember,  to
          automatically return items  back  in  your  inventory,  you  must
          credit the item being returned.

          inventory items.   You can add,  change,  view and  delete  items
          here.    Your options are A to add items, C to change items, V to
          view, and D to delete.  [F1] will return you to the main menu.

          Guide lines for entering inventory items:
          The item number can have a maximum of 15 characters  and  can  be
          alpha or numeric.
          The  category  field can have up to 10 digits and can be alpha or
          numeric.

          inventory sorted by category.
          The description field can have a maximum of 25 characters.

          which can be changed in the [S] Company Setup (we will  refer  to
          these totals as Daily, Monthly and Year-To-Date).    These totals
          are broken down into Sales Taxable,  Sales Non-Taxable, Sales Tax
          Exempt (which are the sales made to customer accounts with a  tax
          number), total services, and total sales tax received.

          The options in the Accounting Information are:
          [1] Print Totals
          [2] Zero Totals
          [F1] For Menu

          [1] Print Totals:

          which is a listing of all transactions processed that day.  After
          selecting option 1, the following prompt will be displayed:
          xx transactions in the summary file...
          Do you wish to print a daily summary (Y/N/ESC)?
          (xx = the number of transactions for the day.)
          Answering  Y  or  N  here  would  print or not print the summary,
          pressing the ESC key would  return  you  to  the  "Enter  Option"
          prompt.

          [2] Zero Totals
          Option  2  is for zeroing your daily,  monthly,  and year-to-date
          totals.   This is a manual operation and must be done by you when
          the  need arises.   This means you should zero daily totals every
          day, monthly totals at the beginning of each month,  and year-to-
          date totals at the beginning of each year.









          When you press option 2, the following will be displayed:
          [1]DAILY [2]MONTHLY or [3]YEAR-TO-DATE

          Here  you  would enter 1,  2,  or 3 depending on which column you
          wish to zero.  After choosing the proper column to zero, the word
          DAILY,  MONTHLY,   or  YEAR-TO-DATE  will  blink  on  the  screen
          (depending  on  your  selection).  You  will  then be prompted to
          "Verify (Y/N)?" your selection.
          After answering Y,   you will be prompted with  "Perform  (Daily,
          Monthly,  or Year-To-Date) Close-Out On Inventory (Y/N)?".   This
          feature will zero the Total Sold,  Item Revenue and  Item  Profit
          lines  on  each  one  of your inventory items.  You will normally
          answer Yes to this prompt.     This  will  allow  you  to  easily
          maintain each of the 3 running totals of your inventory items.

          When  you  zero  the  daily  column the summary file will also be
          erased so before zeroing any column be sure to print your  totals
          first.

          items, customer account lists,  sales personal lists,  etc.   The
