StockTrac  Enterprise

System Requirements

The following are System Recommendations for the StockTrac Enterprise Shop Management System. We will outline suggested equipment configurations to optimize effective use of the system. Please keep in mind that as this recommendation is being written, newer and faster systems are being introduced to the market. Therefore, if your new system exceeds the following recommended specifications, your Enterprise software will perform even better. It is designed to run under the following operating systems:

  • Windows 98SE

  • Windows NT

  • Windows 2000

  • Windows XP Professional

  • Windows XP Home

Even though enterprise will run on the older versions of Windows, we strongly recommend the latest version of Windows XP Professional for the best performance.

Note:  ENTERPRISE requires Internet access at the shop along with email capabilities.  You will also need Symantec's PCAnyWhere installed on your computer.

 RECOMMENDED PRINTERS

StockTrac Enterprise will work with any Windows compatible printer such as Laser, Ink Jet, or Newer Dot Matrix printers. For best printing quality and performance we highly recommend a laser printer.  Enterprise now supports the Dymo LabelWriter 330 and 330 Turbo printers for warranty label printing.  Because Enterprise is a Windows product, it will only work with printers that have actual Windows Graphics Drivers available for them. Unfortunately, this does not include Okidata 182's and 184's. If you choose to use dot matrix printers you will need to upgrade to at least a Okidata 320.

Important Note

We currently do not recommend HP LaserJet printers as we have found certain models (1300, 1320, 2500) to have some printer-driver issues. Also we have found that they are the most expensive to maintain.

Please contact Janco International at 1-800-782-5872 (U.S.) or 1-800-323-5872 (Canada) if you have any questions concerning the above specifications or to review your existing equipment.
