Click Tools then Print Layouts. In the picklist, choose the layout you want to change - usually Receipt (A4), Receipt (Letter) or Receipt #2 (Paper Roll) and click OK. Make changes to the fonts, logo files, etc. and click Save. For more information, please read the Manual.
Using your regular desktop printer: You will need to have Microsoft Word installed and a suitable barcode font (EVE installs a suitable selection of fonts for you courtesy of IDAutomation.com). You can print multiple labels on a sheet of Avery (or equivalent) labels. See section 4.3.12 of your EVE Help Manual. EVE Also prints labels using a dedicated Zebra barcode label printer, (we recommend Zebra LP2844 or the Zebra TLP2844) or the Zebra GK 420d. Please check with us before buying a printer.
Yes provided you have a program installed on your Mac that emulates Windows. On newer Mac Computers that use an Intel Processor you can use an Apple program called Boot Camp. An alternative on older Macs is to use a program called Virtual PC which you can read about at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtualpc/default.mspx
On the Server, click Start then All Programs then Microsoft SQL Server then Configuration Tools then SQL Server Surface Area Configuration
Click Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections
Click Remote Connections in the Treeview on the left and make sure “Local and remote connections” is selected. Make sure also that “Using both TCP/IP and named pipes” is selected.
If you are told you need to restart the Services, you can do that using the Service entry in the Treeview. Make sure you restart both the Database Engine service and the SQL Server Browser service
Also, if you have a Firewall running on the server, make sure the 2 Program Exceptions are defined as follows:
In Windows Firewall, do you can do this as follows: Click on the Exceptions tab and then click Add Program. Click Browse and then go and find the first program. Double click on it or select it and click Open. Click Browse again and repeat for the second program. Click OK twice to save changes and quit the Firewall.

There are a few steps you need to take to move your EVE database to a different computer:
Click here to visit the downloads page and download the latest version of EVE Client and Server.
Click here for installation instructions including system requirements.
Click here for instructions on how to open up SQL Server so other computers can communicate with it on the network and for information on Firewall settings.
If you don't already have a database backup, click the EVE Globe icon at the top right of EVE and click Backup Now. You can do this in EVE on any computer connected to the old server but, regardless of which computer you use, the backup file will be created on the old server. EVE will tell you the location of the backup file when the backup is complete. It will have a .bak extension and will be called eve.bak or PCName_eve.bak where PCName is the name of your old server computer. But, if you have renamed the database in the past it will have a different name with the .bak extension.
Copy your most recent backup file into the folder called C:\EVE Backups on the new server. Start the EVE Database Utilities program (it is located in the ISSYS folder on your Start menu and the filename is c:\Program Files (x86)\Integrated Scuba Systems\EVEServer\EVEDBUtils.exe) and click OK on the Connect form.
Click Restore Database and then Apply
On the Restore DB form, use the values shown in the screenshot below but replace eve.bak with the name of your backup file if different. Click Restore Database. This will cause your database to be restored to the C:\EVEDB folder - i.e. after the restore you should see eve.mdf and eve.ldf in that folder.
Open EVE on each PC where you have it installed. At the Connect prompt, click Edit Settings. Change the Data Source entry to be the name of the new server computer with an \EVE suffix
e.g. NewEVEServer\EVE
If you followed the instructions above, the Database will be called eve but, if you called it something else, make sure you set the Database entry appropriately
