Operating system
Windows XP or 7 (x86 or x64)
The digit grouping symbol of currency must always differ from the number’s decimal symbol. Having
equal symbols is not valid (not just in this situation, but also in other situations) and will probably cause
other problems as well. See Microsoft’s KB198098.
Issues may arise with certain Regional and Language Options on Windows XP when the system
language, as set under Control Panel >> Regional and Language Options, is set to a language not
supported by Jet 4.0 (see Microsoft’s KB913296).
To avoid communication errors, it is advised to use a serial (RS232) port with hardware buffer overrun
detection. Few USB-RS232 converters have this feature, but e.g. the Digitus part no. DA-70156 has.
