Regional settings
1. Select “English (Australian)” as the regional setting
- Short date format
2. Short date format MUST BE dd/mm/yy or dd/mm/yyyy – ie for example 01/07/00 or 01/07/2000. If you use, for example dd/mmm/yy then the date will print “jul” instead of “07”. The only identifiable problem caused by using this format is in the automatic billing of faxes and disbursements.
3. You must use a “/” as the separator
