Dealers - Portal FAQ

Q. I'm using Firefox, Opera, or another non-standard alternative browser - will the portal work for me?

A. It may and it may not - as a rule we do not support any browser platform other than Microsoft Internet Explorer.  If you are having trouble using the portal with another browser try using Microsoft's Browser.

Q.  I'm getting the message 'Unable to load print control.' when trying to use the print button.  What does this mean?

A.  The print button feature requires a small program be loaded once onto your computer.  Depending on your security settings you may not be able to load this program.  If you are prompted to install an 'Active X' component go ahead and agree to install it.  You may also need to login to your computer once as an Administrator to install this component.  If you cannot access your computer as a system administrator you can use the Export function to Export the report to an Adobe PDF file and print from the PDF reader until you can have your system administrator login and install the print control.

Q. I'm getting this error; 'Error occurred during printing (0x8007007A)'.  What does this mean?

A. You do not have a default printer or any printer setup on your system.  Add a printer to your system using Windows Control Panel or consult your system administrator if you are unfamiliar with adding printers to Windows.

Q. This website is running extremely slow on my computer - what is wrong?

A. EPC's Dealer Access Portal is a web software application which is a little different than a regular website.  Make sure you have a fast DSL or broadband connection and a relatively modern computer for the best experience.  Scan your computer for viruses and spyware as these will slow down your access the internet in general.  Test your internet access speed using one of the many tools available such as http://www.speedtest.net/.  Also try accessing the portal from another computer that has a different connection to the internet - you may need to contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) if you feel one of your connections is much slower than another.

Q. I cannot see the Print button on my report.  Where is it?

A. Your screen may be set too small to view the entire report - use your scroll bars on the right and bottom right to scroll over - you should see the button on the far right of the report viewer.


Q. I don't have the Adobe Reader program on my computer - where can I find that?

Q. I'm trying to view one of your business opportunity videos but I'm getting an error or no audio or no audio or video - what should I do?

A. These videos are in an industry standard Adobe Flash format.  You will need to download and install the free player if you don't already have it installed on your computer to view this type of streaming media.  You can get the free Adobe Flash player at http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/.
