General Guidelines Before Calling Support
  Following the guidelines outlined below will allow us to provide the best possible service to all our customers.
  • Read the most current documentation and any help messages for "how to"
  • Ask others in the store "how to"
  • Do a print screen, if possible
  • Be prepared to answer the following:
    • Has this ever happened before?
    • Did you do anything differently?
    • Have there been any changes to your system lately - new hardware or software?
Program Exceptions
  • Press the [H] key and press [ENTER]. This will bring up a help screen that will provide important details about the program exception
  • Press [SHIFT] and [PRINT SCREEN] to get a print of the help screen
  • Call our support department and give the details of the program exception
  • Do not do anything else to your system

When Reaching a Technician
  • Give complete, specific information
  • For a program exception, provide exact information displayed on the screen
  • Tell the support technician what you were doing at the time the problem occured
  • Be at the computer/station when calling for support
  • Have a dedicated modem available to connect to our support department. Unless of course you have high speed internet then we will work with you to make the connection.
If Voice Mail is Reached
  Clearly say your name, store name, location, phone number where you can be reached and leave a detailed message. A technician will return your call as soon as possible.

Note: Never reboot or turn off a computer unless it is part of the normal closing procedure or you have been told to do so by one of our support technicians. Doing so could cause serious problems.

  E = Extended hours for Emergency help

For your convience, our support department offers extended hours to handle emergency calls only. (See support hours)

Note: E-Support is billable at $45.00 an hour, 1 hour minimum.
