ImaCash user manual
The Configuration section brings together the settings that allow you to adapt ImaCash to the establishment, the POS/POS, the cash machine and the active modules.
This guide is aimed primarily at administrators, store managers and technical staff. The majority of cashier users do not need to modify these sections during daily operations.
An incorrect change can cause sales not to arrive from the POS/POS, the machine not to connect, or certain users to lose access to functions.
If you are unsure, do not modify the settings without technical support.
Depending on your installation, ImaCash may include settings related to these areas. Not all installations show the same options.
Basic operating data may appear in the general settings, such as store, counter, operator, language, payment behavior or preferences visible to the user.
Some general changes may require restarting ImaCash to apply correctly.
The users section allows you to create, edit or deactivate users, assign permissions and control who can perform sensitive actions.
From here you can manage permissions such as opening or closing a shift, perform manual transactions, consult reports, modify settings, manage emptying or resolve incidents.
This part is explained in more detail in the Users and permissions guide.
Filters allow you to define which operations are displayed or synchronized in ImaCash.
They can be applied by criteria such as operator, store or counter, depending on the available configuration.
These filters affect synchronization: if a transaction has already been synchronized, it may disappear from the screen when you change the filter.
The machine configuration defines how ImaCash communicates with the cash device.
If the COM port or connection data is incorrect, ImaCash may not open the device or may display communication errors.
Some installations allow you to configure cash levels by denomination.
These levels help monitor when the machine is low on cash, when it needs refilling, or when there may be problems returning change.
If ImaCash indicates that there is no exchange combination available, it may be due to lack of cash, insufficient denominations, or outdated inventory.
Integration with the POS/POS allows sales to automatically reach ImaCash.
Depending on the installed system, the configuration may include server data, route, connector license, service, instance, user, password or other POS/POS parameters.
If this setting is incorrect, sales may not appear, remain pending, or may not sync correctly.
Review the integration data only if you know the installation or have technical support.
A change to routes, credentials, service, or instance may prevent sales from reaching ImaCash.
ImaCash can work with a local database and connection to a server, depending on the installation.
Options may appear in configuration to check connection, synchronize transactions or clean logs. These options should be used with care, especially those related to database cleanup.
Do not delete records or clean databases if you do not know exactly what operation you are performing.
In some installations, data such as server IP and server port are configured.
ImaCash can validate if the connection is correct. If the data changes, it may be necessary to restart the application to properly sync transactions.
Common errors in this part include server not found, identification error or failure to connect to local or server database.
If the establishment works with payments by card or integrated dataphone, a Cards, Card or Dataphone section may appear.
If card integration is not used, these options may not appear or be active.
ImaCash can include printer configuration, such as a bar printer, kitchen printer or image for printing the receipt.
This configuration depends on the environment of the establishment and the use made of tickets, receipts or vouchers.
ImaCash validates the license and maintenance status to allow certain features.
From configuration, options such as License, Validate license, Change license or Maintenance may appear.
If the license is invalid or the computer cannot connect to the corresponding server, some functions may be limited.
After modifying the settings, use the Save button.
ImaCash may display a warning indicating that the new settings have been saved successfully, but that some functions will not be available until you restart the program.
If you see an unsaved changes notice, review whether you want to save or exit without keeping the changes.
The advanced options are intended for technical personnel or administrators with knowledge of the installation.
They may include communication parameters, POS resources, device behavior, service restart, database cleanup, or connector-specific configurations.
Do not modify advanced options during normal checkout operations.
Configuration usually requires administrator permissions. If ImaCash indicates that administrator permissions are required, it may be necessary to run the program as an administrator or log in with an authorized user.
Configuration can change a lot between establishments. It may vary depending on:
This guide describes the usual areas, but some screens may have different names or fields.
Before making more changes, review what was changed and if necessary restart ImaCash.
If the change affects collections, machine, POS/POS or database, do it outside of high activity times.
