Paperless Office Setup Tips: Ports, Lockfiles

When setting up paperless office – set the printer port (typically the install points it to NULL or LPT1) to SAGE.

When setting up paperless office – turn off the use of lock files via:

File
Run
PL_AdvancedOptions_UI

Note: This has to be done for every company as it is COMPANY SPECIFIC

The lock file use is only needed if you happen to be running other non-Sage instances of the Amyuni application running on your system.

If you are making this change AFTER experiencing issues with lock files – you may also have to go into the registry and remove both the jobs and lock files folders.

USE EXTREME CAUTION. We are not responsible for damage resulting from changes to the system registry which render your system unusable or unstable. These are usually steps best performed by an IT professional.
