Transferring transactions and key data between SmartFill units and the website
NB: The SmartFill unit must have 1.07.xxx software of later to use this procedure
It is recommended that a single USB drive be used for all SmartFill units and files.
At the SmartFill Unit:
1) Insert the USB drive.
2) Enter the administration menu (hold CLR and ENT keys together for a few seconds, enter 1234 at the prompt, then press ENT).
3) Select (5) Unit.
4) Select (2) Import Data. (If you get an error, remove and re-insert the USB drive and try again. If is still doesn’t work, then skip this step as the file was possibly not saved to the USB drive.)
5) Select (1) Export Data.
6) When the download has completed successfully, remove the USB drive.
7) Repeat steps (1) – (6) for the other SmartFill units.
At the Website:
1) Insert the USB drive into the computer.
2) Log in to your account and select the ‘SmartFill Units’ menu.
3) Select ‘Import’ from the left submenu.
4) Select the file from the first unit to import. e.g. ‘2183web.dat’ and press the Import button.
5) When prompted to download the file, press the ‘Download File’ button.
6) Select the top directory of the USB drive and save the file as ‘xxxxunit.dat’ (see Browser Notes below), where xxxx is the serial number. e.g. ‘2183unit.dat’
7) Repeat from (3) for the remaining units.
6) Eject and remove the USB drive.
The data that has been exported can be imported into the SmartFill unit next time you need to export data from the unit. It doesn’t have to be done straight away.
You can now select the ‘Transactions’ menu to view the transactions.
