Adding a Workstation

Q. My shop is growing and I need to add another computer to the MaxxTraxx system.

Answer:

This is very easily completed. Once you have the computer hooked up and on your local network, you simply browse your network from the new machine to the “Scott Systems” folder on your Server. Inside the Scott Systems folder you will see the “MaxxTraxx Pro” folder, and inside the MaxxTraxx Pro folder you will find a file called “mxtrxpro.exe.” When you find this file, Right Click on the file to get a menu, from the menu choose “Send To” and a sub menu will appear. Choose “Desktop (Create Shortcut)” from the sub menu. You can then close all the open windows and you will see the shortcut you just created on your desktop. You then need to contact Scott Systems so that we can adjust your workstation licenses. Once we have made the adjustment, the new workstation should access MaxxTraxx without problems.

Adding a Custom Company Logo

Q. How do I add a custom company logo on my print outs?

Answer:

To replace the system generated invoice header and fill the entire top part of your invoice, make sure your image files are:
1.  Named ROFULL (for Service Counter invoices) and PIFULL (for Parts Counter invoices) and ARFULL (for Customer Statements)
2.  Either a .jpg or .bmp file type extension
3.  That the image sizes are as follows (in 600 dpi):

ROFULL:

ROLOGO:

PIFULL:

PILOGO:

ARFULL:

ARLOGO:

ratio of  5.47   (example: 1000 x 182)

ratio of  3.07     (example: 500 x 162)

ratio of  5.47   (example: 1000 x 182)

ratio of  3.07      (example:500 x 162)

ratio of  5.13   (example: 1000 x 195)

ratio of  3.07     (example: 500 x 162)

 


4.  Place those files in the following location:
C:/Scott Systems/MaxxTraxx Pro/Data/Company folder

Place the picture files in the “Company” folder.  Make sure they are named correctly and that there are no other similar files in there.  Or tell it to “overwrite files” when you go to place them in there. This will overrite the current shop information, so make sure that is on your logo if you want the address and phones numbers to show still.
