If you are using Printer Profiles for the first time

In Scotland in Printer Profiles, you need to set up both the GP prescription stationery and the Nurse/SP prescriptions. Although it is optional, this does allow you to specify the different "bins" on the printer from which the GP and nurse/SP prescriptions can be loaded.

1. From the Vision front screen, select Vision - Options - Setup and then the Printers tab.
2. Select Prescriptions and then Add.
3. Select the Available Printer from which the GP prescription stationery loads.
4. In Stationery, select (GP10(SS)(4)) if you are using version (4). If not select version (3).
5. Print a Test Page and make any adjustments to the left and top margins by trial and error.
6. Select Advanced and select the Paper Source, if required, to specify the bin/tray for loading.
7. Select Save and then Close

If you are already using Printer Profiles and want to change the prescription stationery

Currently most Scottish GP prescribers are using version 3 of the prescription forms - GP10(SS)(3). There is a new version of this prescription soon to be available in Scotland called GP10(SS)(4).

Note - The Stationery is a user setting, so all prescribers must update this setting individually.

1. When a GP wants to change over to printing on the new prescriptions:
2. Go to Vision - Options - Setup, then on the Printers tab.
3. Make sure Prescriptions is selected, then select Edit.
4. In Stationery, select (GP10(SS)(4)) .
5. Select Save then Close to the front Printer Profiles screen.

   Note - Each individual GP must make this stationery change.
