• Tel: This field will default the device’s phone number.

• Advance: This would normally be set to 1. If you have preprinted delivery tickets with the company logo at the top, you will need to enter the number of lines the ticket will have to advance to clear printing in this area.

• Truck: Enter the truck number to which the device will be assigned. It is also important that the Bluetooth adapter that is assigned to the truck has the same number.

• Driver: Enter the number of the driver who will be operating the truck.

• Inventory Acct: Place a “0” (zero) in this field.

• Alpha: If the account numbers that are assigned to the customers contain any letters, then this box must be checked.
