Check to see that the header images are installed correctly. Navigate to C:\Program Files\Alphapos\Aura. In the Aura directory, there should be an Images folder. If the folder does not exist, you need to create it.
Inside the Images folder, there should be two files called HEADER.BMP and HEADER.TMB (this is needed for Online ordering header). If the files are named incorrectly, or do not have the correct extensions, the header image will not print. If the images are not there, you will need to download new header files. See the section below on Updating Headers to see how this is done.
Note that Aura has a header downloader service that automatically keeps your headers up to date with the latest specials. If your header has not updated with your new special, take the following steps:
1. Check the brief or with your brand representative that there is a header image for this promo. NOTE: Aura will only update your header if an image has been provided to us by the brand.
Check that the HeaderUpdater service is running.
Click Start, and search for “Services”
Find the service AuraHeaderDownloader. If it is stopped, start it. If it is running, restart it.
