I have bought 2 sets of PC stations. now I wnat to add another 2 sets. Is that possible to control the new computer and new pc stations from the older host PC?
Yes. You can control the new computer from the old one… you can easily set this up by using the “Advanced” button when installing the iTimer on the newly added PC and stations.
How can i brand it with my own information, i really need to change specially the background image by my own advert but it seems lil imposible plz let me know if possible
Mike,
Yes you can brand iTimer with your own information. It allows you to add your business name, telephone number and motto, however you can not change the background image. You can find out how to brand it in our support section.
Thank you !!!!
Keep it up !!!!!!!!!!!
I am using x-series PC-stations. How can I protect users from making changes to my system on the server computer (removing programs from the control panel)
Babi,
You can protect your system from unwanted changes by making the user accounts (types) used on the stations to “Limited” if they are “Administrator”.
I followed the procedure you have specified for changing the business name and telephone number but I can’t do that. Please explain it.
Babi,
To change the biz name and telephone number, you first need to sign-in on each client using the default user id and password (admin & itimer) and then by right clicking on the itimer client (red icon displaying :00 on it) and then selecting “Settings”… then you will be able to change it and press “Save”.
Note that you can only do this on the latest version of iTimer.

I have been using your I timer software which is fantastic and easy to use. but I am facing a problem with report. it doesn’t show a report of previous days. in addition it does not save a report after power failure. what is the problem with it?
Babi,
The most probable cause for iTimer not showing you previous day reports is DeepFreeze. If you use DeepFreeze software, it wipes everything previously saved upon restart so every time you restart data from the previous session will be lost.

I had purchased an access terminals some time before I know you. now I have formated my computer and wnated to install the PC stations. but in the process it requires me to insert the serial number and activation key. I looked on the boxes it is not there. where can I get the number?
There are six extra serial numbers on the PC-Station Installation CD that we gave you with your PC-Station. You can use those or you can call us and we’ll SMS more to your phone!

Benyam,
Yes, you can have all your clients controlled from one “server” (even if they are stand alone computers).
To do this, you install iTimer on the clients using the “Advanced” button while specifying the computer name of the designated server.
If you’re not able to do this, we can send a technician that can do this for you.
Thank you!

Sam,
Installing the itimer is very simple, just download it from here http://www.amestsantim.com/itimer-internet-cafe-software/ and then run the setup file on the server (host). It will do the rest and after a restart it should be working!
We are also developing a short “Install Guide” and will let you know when it is ready.
Thank you!

what to fill in station name box in stand alone computers after clicking advance?
should i protect all other computeers with username and pass word please leave me the steps do i install itimer only on the pc that i shared the internet connection?
When installing iTimer on stand alone computers, you are asked to enter two things.
1) Server’s name: For this just enter the computer name of the computer that iTimer server is installed on.
2) Station name: Just enter any name you want that this computer will be identified in the iTimer server.
Also, see the iTimer installation guide here

Hi,
I have been using your product for the last few months now. I could say I’m fairly satisfied wit it.
I have on problem, I’m unable to print any report. It keeps saying Report width is larger than the paper width’.
It did not concern me much until now, because I was the only one working on it. However, I have hired a secretary and the report will be very handy.
So please let me know if there is any way it would work.
Thank you.
Getnet,
The problem with your setup is your default printer settings.
Just go to your default printer’s page settings and widen your margins or just change it to landscape…
This will fix your problem.
Thanks!

Eskedar,
The problem is with the settings of your default printer. You can adjust the page type (A4) and width on your default printer or just change the page orientation to landscape and this will solve your problem and you will be able to view the report and print it!
Thanks!

Dear Admin
I was trying to install to install i timer and i recieve the following response when i click install
Run-time error ‘-2147221020(800401e4)’:
Automation error
Invalid syntax
what other procedure should i use to install the timer?
thank you.
Endy,
This must be because either the installer is corrupt or you’re trying to install from the wrong media (in which case you should put the setup files on your hard disk and try from there)
Hope this helps!
