General Information Setup Screen - Located in the Tools Menu
If you use Teletrack and have a ID and Pass Code you should enter that information in the appropriate text boxes on this screen.
The version number of the program can also be located in the upper right hand corner of the window. If you have a company logo or a company signature they can be added in this screen.
You can install a company logo and a electronic signature from this screen. If you are going to use the company logo option, which allows your company logo to appear on selected forms and letters generated by TLP, you must make sure that the electronic logo file is saved on the computer hosting TLP, and that the electronic logo file is accessible to every computer that will be printing checks using TLP using a network path (mapped drive letter or UNC path). If this is not done correctly, you will probably get a message like: "OpenReport action was canceled" when an attempt is made to print a form or letter with the electronic logo option. Below are examples of correct and incorrect ways to set up the electronic logo file. Please note that this problem only occurs on a network. If TLP is installed on a single computer, you can and should specify the local hard drive (normally C:) in the electronic logo file pathname.
Examples of a mapped drive letter pathname. In this example, all computers are mapped to network drive F:, which is the "file Server" for TLP. If the electronic logo file is stored in the file "logo.jpg" in a folder called "Program Files\Title Loan Professional PLUS", the correct pathname would be "F:\Program Files\Title Loan Professional PLUS\logo.jpg" ... however, if the "F:" was changed to a "C:" this would only allow logo-enabled forms and letters to be printed by users running TLP on the file Server. All other computers would look for the electronic signature on their local hard drives, since "C:" specifies a local hard drive.
Examples of a UNC pathname. UNC stands for "universal naming convention." If your network does not use mapped drive letters, you should use a UNC pathname. In this example, all computers are mapped to \\Fileserver, which is the "file Server" for TLP. If the electronic logo file is stored in the file "logo.jpg" in a folder called "Program Files\Title Loan Professional PLUS", the correct pathname would be "\\Fileserver\Program Files\Title Loan Professional PLUS\logo.jpg" and there would be no drive letter in the pathname.
In short, only use a pathname that includes "C:" if you are not running TLP on a network. If you are running TLP on a network, all user computers must be able to access the electronic logo file using the same network pathname.
