What version of Crystal Reports can I use with EARNIE?
EARNIE IQ uses Crystal version 9, 10 or 11.
What can I do to speed up my reports?
If your reports are taking a long time to print, you can try
doing a rebuild of the indexes which can sometimes significantly
increase the speed of your reports.
To do this you need to log into the Admin side of EARNIE IQ (the
default name and password is admin and admin) and go to File>
Companies> Rebuild Indexes, select the company and click on ok.
You should then get a message stating 'Company indexes have been
successfully rebuilt'.
I am printing from a Windows NT/2000/XP workstation and getting
a form feed after the Alignment Check when printing my dot matrix
payslips, which puts the rest of the payslips out of alignment. How
do I solve this?
Setting up a new paper size to fit your payslips eliminates most
alignment problems and also allows you to use an alignment check
within EARNIE IQ. To set up your own paper size, go to your
Windows Start Button and choose Settings, then Printers.
Right click anywhere in the window and select Server Properties
from the list.
On the Forms tab card select US Std Fanfold and put a tick in
the Create New Form box. Type in a new name for the form. If your
payslip has a 5" high form, for example, call it 5 inch
Payslip.
Make sure the Measurements 'Units' option is set to English.
Alter the Height to the size of your payslip, e.g. 05.00in. Then
click on the Save Form button.
Once the new form size has been created, go back to the Printers
window and right click on either the Epson FX1050 or LQ1050 printer
driver, whichever you are using. From the list select Properties
and click on the Advanced button. Select the page size you have
just created.
If you use several different sized dot matrix payslips, you just
need to set up multiple instances of the printer driver, selecting
the appropriate paper size in each, and then add them to the
Printer column in the Report Table next to the relevant
payslip.

they are still not lining up.
