Hot Conflicts / Issues

We take every precaution to ensure that your experience with Data Tranz systems is a smooth one. Occasionally, we discover issues that leads to some hardware incompatibility. The following is a list of currently known issues and probable fixes. Search the Knowledgebase for additional information if your topic is not here.

QuickBooks 2007 -- December 2006

Stop! If you are using QuickBooks 2007 to run your backoffice, and you are doing or plan on doing exports from GlassShop to QuickBooks 2007, please do not! Intuit (the makers of QuickBooks) have acknowledged an issue that allows items to be duplicated in your item list. Therefore, if you will get a new item for EVERY item that you import. This is a huge hassle, and there is not much we can do until Intuit fixes this issue. We are working with Intuit for a work-around, but we do not have confidence yet to post these findings. If you have questions, please contact Data Tranz support.

Okidata Printers

When using the Data Tranz pre-printed form, you may encounter difficulties printing the 8.5" X 8.5" form. There are a couple of things you should check:

  • If on a network, and only one computer can print correctly, AND, you have set up the printer correctly in GlassShop, you may not have the correct driver installed for the printer, for that operating system. We have encountered some difficulty with Okidata and XP, and we have fixed it by using an Epson LQ1050 driver for the Okidata.
  • When setting up the printer for use in GlassShop, define your paper size when saving the "Printer Setup" in the setting up a GS printer window. The system takes this setting, not one you may alter in the printer setup in the control panel.
  • You can also alter the settings on your Okidata printer directly on the printer. It takes a bit to get used to, and it is often the only way to get your printer to operate properly for GlassShop. To understand more, go to the Okidata Settings Page.

Multifunction Printers

Multifunction printers, ones that scan, fax, and print install drivers that occasionally conflict with the MSVCRT library of dll's that your Data Tranz system requires. We have been able to uninstall the scan function of these devices and the system operates correctly.

America Online / Compuserve

The Data Tranz EDI system is simple for those who use a MAPI compliant mail system, such as Outlook, Outlook Express, and Eudora. AOL and other online networks have their own mail handlers, and the functionality of the single click "Send EDI via Email" is lost. Instead, customers who use these online networks need to take several more steps to get their EDI to Data Tranz. And, when the EDI arrives, it is within the text of the message, and not an attached document. Therefore, we recommend using a local dial-up Internet connection from a local provider.
