Printer Set-up - MotelMAX prints some reports in condensed or compressed

correct printer codes to make your printer work in compressed mode. If
you have any trouble locating these codes, please contact us. We have
printer codes for several hundred printers, too many to list here.
Configuring MotelMAX for your printer is very simple, once you know the
printer codes.

subdirectories. Press <F1> in most browse tables for important help
information.

===== Installation =====================================
DOS Installation
----------------
Unzip the MotelMAX zip file into any directory on your hard drive. We
suggest creating a new directory called \MOTEL. The DOS command to make
a new directory is: MD \MOTEL <Enter>
The installation directory, \MOTEL, must be the default directory
whenever you start the program. To make \MOTEL your default directory,
use the DOS change directory command, type: CD \MOTEL <Enter>
The program start command is: MOTELMAX <Enter>.
Use MOTELMAX as your user name and password. In the registered version,
you can setup your own user names.
Trouble Shooting:
----------------
If you have any problems installing and running the program, try this:
1. Be sure you are in the \MOTEL directory before you start the program.
The DOS command to change to the \MOTEL directory is: CD \MOTEL <Enter>.
2. Check your CONFIG.SYS file. Be sure the FILES= setting is 45 or
higher: FILES=45 If you change this setting in your CONFIG.SYS file,
reboot your computer.
3. After checking points 1 & 2, try restarting the program with this
command: MOTELMAX NEW <Enter>. The NEW switch will verify that all files
are present.
Windows 3.x and Windows 95
--------------------------
You can launch MotelMAX from an icon in any version of Windows. First,
install the program according to the DOS installation instructions. For
this example, we assume you have installed MotelMAX in a directory
called C:\MOTEL.
Create an icon using the Windows Program Manager, select FILE | NEW and
create a 'Program Item.' Next edit the 'Program Item Properties' to read
as follows:
Description......: MotelMAX 4.0
Command Line.....: C:\MOTEL\MOTELMAX.EXE
Working Directory: C:\MOTEL
Now you only need to click on the icon to start MotelMAX. When you exit
the MotelMAX program, you return to the Windows Program Manager. You
have to correctly identify the 'Working Directory' in order to launch
MotelMAX from Windows.
