Searching Hints
- You can use name fragments, so "motor" will find "motorcycle"
- A search for multiple items will result in a list of sales that each contain at least one of the items
- Use one of the categories from the drop down box to further filter the list
Why can't I see my sale on the shopping page?
- Your sale wont be listed until:
- You have entered a seller into your seller list AND
- You have entered an item into your seller's inventory
Why won't my computer show the price tags?
- You may need to install the free Adobe Acrobat Reader

What kind of scanner do I want?
- Get a keyboard wedge scanner
- I bought mine at ebay, search for 'bar code scanner wedge'
- It needs to handle EAN-13 encoding, (this is very common so virtually all will do)
- It will come with a special cable to share the keyboard port, OR as a USB device
- I paid about 10 dollars for a modified USB Cue Cat that you swipe across the tag
How come my tags won't line up on my labels?
- When you select print from your PDF reader you will get a dialog box
- There may be an option to "Fit to Page", "Scale", or "Auto-anything" your output
- Make sure these options are set to "None" or "Off"
Where do I buy tags and labels?
- 500 tags for 8 bucks
- 750 labels for 10 bucks
- 100 jumbo (#2) paper clips for 70 cents
- Make mailing labels and return address labels for free
- Print out Sale Tags on mailing address labels: 1" x 2-1/2" inch (30/page)
How can I just print the PDF pages I want
- Note the page numbers of the output you are interested in
- Select File | Print from the Acrobat menu
- Edit the boxes to print just the pages you want
- Edit the box to determine you many copies you want
What does copy/paste mean?
- Your computer has a temporary holding area called the clipboard
- You can use the clipboard to move text from one program to another
- Select (highlight) text in one program and then choose the COPY command from the EDIT menu, the text will be placed onto the clipboard. Then you switch to a different program and choose EDIT | PASTE to get the text from the clipboard
- The clipboard keeps a copy of the last text until it is replaced with another COPY or CUT command
- So use your mouse to highlight some text on this page, then choose Edit | Copy from the menu at the top of the menu. The commands will be grayed out (disabled) until you highlight something
- Now you can open a text editor (like notepad or email) and paste it.
- The menu may specify a shortcut key combination next to the command, like Ctrl+C for Copy
