Scottish Prescriptions

Prescriptions are printed in larger Courier 11 pitch font. Age format is shown as "11/10" (eg 11 years 10 months). Printer Profiles lets you select the font in Advanced Settings and in Form, the picklist lets you choose a specific prescription form. If you are still using the classic printer setup and need to set the Courier 11 font/pitch, from the Vision front menu, select Options - Setup - Printers. Right click on the screen and select the one option, Use Courier 11 for all scripts. A tick appears if selected. Confirm with OK. You can toggle this switch on and off.
