  2. Select the setting you wish to alter. For example, “Bar Code Length”, populates the “Option Name” and Value” fields:
    1. Most of the settings use the value of “Enabled” or “Disabled”
    2. For settings such as “Bar Code Length”, simply type in the value you wish to use. In this example, the bar code length is "6" characters.
  3. After your setting change has been made, click on “Add/Update” to save the changes.

To remove a setting, click on the desired line (such as Bar Code Length) and then select "Remove Line". If you inadvertently delete a line that is needed, you can either reimport the INI file, or open the functions ini file outside of MicroSale and then retype the line under "Option Name" and then "Add/Update" to save.
