   1. This is most likely due to a firewall blocking certain sites that TeleTracker uses to look up this information. Open the firewall to the sites below.

If youd like to copy all of your settings from one location to another, simply drag the location name on to the other location. Please note that this will also copy your merchant information, so double check all settings before closing the preferences window.

3. My previously saved invoices have different information or print differently than new invoices. What's going on?

   1. Preferences are not retroactive. For example, you have an invoice that has notes added to it. During the time the invoice was created, Print Notes was not set as a preference. Later, you change your preferences to include the Print Notes option. If you need to reprint an invoice that was done prior to Print Notes being set as a preference, the notes will not print. Unless you go into the invoice and  manually put a checkmark in the Print Notes box, and then print. Any invoices made after the preference selection will automatically have Print Notes checked.
