Motive Power® FAQ
Printing

How do I change graphics and colors on my printed work orders?

The graphic in the upper left is kept in a file called InvoiceGraphic.jpg. This file resides in the folder Program Files\MotivePower2\BackThisUp\Graphics. Motive Power will print this file on the upper left of your printed work orders.

The InvoiceGraphic.jpg that ships with Motive Power is 720 dots wide by 491 dots high with a resolution of 300 dots per inch. In addition to jpg files, Motive Power supports gif and bmp files. Motive Power allows a graphic that fills up to 30% of the page width (not including margins). It will automatically scale the height of the graphic to match the height of the heading up until the width of the graphic reaches 30% of the width of the page.

You can put in a graphic of your own choice. Your graphic file must be in jpg, gif, or bmp format. You must call your file InvoiceGraphic.jpg, InvoiceGraphic,gif, or InvoiceGraphic.bmp. Before changing this file, rename the existing file to InvoiceGraphic.org so that you can go back to it if you new file is not satisfactory. Then copy your new file into the same folder.

Colors in your company name and slogan are set inside Motive Power. Go to Settings | Invoicing | Shop Heading and highlight the characters that you want in a different color. Click the color wheel icon and select the new color. That's all there is to it.

The overall totals aren't printing on my tickets. What should I do?

Go to Settings | Invoicing | Slogans, and make sure both boxes contain something. One or both of your slogans are probably blank. Note: changing a slogan affects estimates, work orders, and invoices printed from now on. It does not affect estimates printed or invoices finalized in the past.
