How to setup Check Factory
on Terminal Server
Revised 08/30/2006 - Please download and
install Updated software below!
May 01, 2005 -- Our testing was done on the
simplest installation of a Terminal Server system. One PC was configured as
the Terminal Server using Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition. All applications
and files reside on the one machine. The test machine uses out of the box
settings in most cases. Numerous remote session users can access the same
version of Check Factory using one "Check Factory on Z:\LFECF000" printer.
Previous instructions
from Trans-Micro regarding Terminal Server were based on the concept of one
CF_Userxx printer for each user. This has many drawbacks from a maintenance
point of view. The current preferred method is to use one Check Factory
printer and "trick" the system to print the job to each users' private
folder using a shared USER folder and assigning a common drive letter to
point to each users' private folder. This method also has the added benefit
of assuring that each user has its' own private WINDOWS folder where vital
Check Factory user data is stored.

Obsolete: Old TS / Citrix Setup Method
(Included in TerminalServerSetup.pdf)
Check Factory uses a polling method to look for the LFECF000 file generated by
the accounting application and the windows print driver. On a PC workstation the
polling interval of every 1 millisecond is not an issue. However the interval on
a Citrix/Terminal Server may be an issue and can slow down the server considerably.
The interval may be adjusted by adding the line:
TimerInterval=xxxx
to the [Startup] section of the CFMASTER.INI file in the CFACTORY folder on the
server where xxxx = the polling interval in milliseconds ( 1000ms = 1 second).
The recommended value is 2000 - 3000.
The timer interval is displayed in the Check Factory, Settings window next to
the Timer Event check box.
