             Company
             Information         		Set your Pricing for each basket size as well as your company information to appear on your receipts. More details can be found in the Company Information section.
     2) Dispense Time The dispense time depends upon your ball dispenser. This is the time between token pulses for your ball dispenser. It should be set to the number of seconds it takes your dispenser to deliver the basket and refill or reset for the next basket. Most ball dispensers take 4 seconds, but some can be set to zero. Check with your ball dispenser manufacturer if your ball dispenser accumulates inserted tokens to vend larger basket sizes.

     4) Database
             Information         		Set the Crossfire Database connections here. Click the corresponding Change buttons the change the appropriate files. e-range path must contain a valid erange.edb file, so it is best to change this field's location to your e-range installation directory (usually "C:\Program Files\e-range"). Database path must point to a location that will contain the file shown in the Database field (usually "C:\Program Files\Crossfire").

    Once you have set all of your database connections, click the Test button. If erange.edb and erangeCC.edb were both found, then the Database Connections area will change color to GREEN. Likewise, if any of the databases were not found, the Database Connections area will change color to RED.

    Once a month (or once a week, depending on your range's traffic), it may be a good idea to click the Shrink Database button. This will clean up any unused space in the database and compress records to save space.
