Computer:

• IBM compatible PC - no Mac's, sorry.  Any brand is fine, we like Dell.
• 1.6 ghz or faster processor.  Any brand is fine, we like Intel.
• 256 MB (or more) of RAM (memory).
• 20 MB of free hard drive space.
• Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, XP, XP Pro, Vista.  We recommend XP or Vista.

Note:  If you are unsure of your computers capabilities, check with a reputable computer supply or repair shop.  Generally speaking, almost any "IBM compatible" computer made in the last few years will run our software just fine.

Visit our Connections webpage for specifics on hooking up your hardware.

Scanning Gun:  Can be either a keyboard-wedge or USB scan gun.  The scanner must recognize "Code-39" style barcodes.   We sell a CCD type USB scanner.

Receipt Printers:  Must be either a Star SP200, Star SP2000, or Star TSP600 receipt printer.  We are not currently compatible with Epson receipt printers.

If you are unsure as to whether your hardware will work with our software you can always try to connect it and test it.  If it does not work it is most likely not compatible with our software and there is little or nothing that we can do to make it work.
