4. Check if the DualTest.exe is placed on the default path, otherwise, replace it properly through the form.

Select whether the DualTest. exe will start running manually or automatically.  [SOFT1 ERP is compatible with Magellan8400. dll through the  OPOS driver Datalogic (DualTest. exe)].  Specifically:  

- **Manually**: If you activate the <start DualTest.exe manually> option, you (the user) will have to start and shut down **DualTest.exe **on your own.  You can keep it running regardless of whether SOFT1 ERP  is running or not; but when SOFT1 ERP  asks for Stock Item weighting or barcode scanning through Magellan8400, it should be in operation.
- **Automatically**: If you do not activate the <start DualTest.exe manually> option, the DualTest.exe will automatically start or shut down, according to the Retail "status" (start/shut down). (The simultaneous start of the .exe and the scale, might delay the start of Retail).
