Also we have all information ENCRYPTED by GoDaddy.com for your safety!

Do you have to be in the United States of America to order?

Our business is located on the East Coast in the United States of America. However we accept orders from anywhere in the world! Keep in mind all manuals are in English unless otherwise stated. Casio Cash register manuals are sometimes in English and Spanish

Is the ordering process automated?

When you order a download of a manual, our software automatically emails you an invoice of your order. this email is where your download link will be at, you must scroll down close to the bottom of that email to receive the link

What will I be downloading?

Most manuals are compressed in a package that is and .exe file, when you download this onto your computer, just run the program and it will put the manual on your computer, as well as a link on your desktop to open the manual. The 1000 bonus files are accessible via our Free Browser Toolbar, so the exe file will install that program also. It has be verified by Download.com and is spyware free! Plus it will give you access to watch major television network thru your web browser. If you do not want this toolbar it can easily be uninstalled via your control panel. Not all files are using this package, some will link directly to the PDF file

I use a MAC, do you support me?

Some of the manuals are exe files that are for PC computer, however we STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL PDF FILE. Mac's CAN READ PDF files. After you place your order contact us to request a link that will work with MAC computers.

What forms of payments do you accept

We accept Visa, Master Card, Discover & American Express credit cards
We have a REAL Merchant Account, so we do not accept PAY PAL. Pay pal will allow anyone to accept payments thru their web site, without meeting the requirements that a Merchant Account thru a Bank has. We have meet all of these requirements set forth by the banks and Visa, Master Card, Discover and American Express. This lets you rest assured that you are dealing with a legit company, that has been in business for over 5 years. Beware of websites that ONLY accept Paypal! They may not have been able to get a real merchant account thru a bank.

Why do I see some links to tnt-gifts.com?

When we first started this business we sold only cash register manuals, and credit card imprinters. Later we separated these to products into different websites: ManualsInk.com and Imprinters4All.com, of course tnt-gifts.com was already set on the search engines, so now it is a copy of ManualsInk.com and we store all of our manuals on the server for tnt-gifts.com.
