Consis Label Master configuration

 

You cannot run the initial Consis set-up without a System Administration Key Code. Telephone Service Desk for assistance.

 

Once a System Administration Key Code has been entered, on the server or standalone PC,  proceed straight to Tools > Pharmacy Details > Setup.

 

  • Check the box Enable robot services

  • There is now an additional tab - Robot - on the Pharmacy Details screen. This additional tab will remain present so long as the robot option is selected.

  • If not already selected, select Consis as the Robot type.

  • Check the box to Enable dispenser if the dispensing robot is being configured.

  • Alternatively, if the Consis labeller is used, check the box.

 

Both the dispensing robot and the labeller can be configured to operate.

 

See also Consis robot setup.

Picking list options

 

A picking list can be printed to assist in identifying stock locations. The default option is to print a picking list for items that are located on a shelf.

Indicate whether a picking list is to be printed and, if so, on which printer.

  • Check the Print picking lists box to enable

  • Select either Form printer or Label printer

  • Check if you want to Include items issued from the robotas well as items on the shelf.

  • Click OK to retain and confirm these settings.

  • Close Pharmacy Manager when prompted and restart the program so the new settings can take effect.

This facility is similar in concept to the option that prints robot or shelf indicators on the label.

  • Check the Robot prints drug labels box to Enable

This check box is only be available on the Pharmacy Manager server.

 

Robot prints drug labels for MDS

  • Check the Robot prints drug labels for MDS box to Enable

By default this option is disabled.

 

This check box is only be available on the Pharmacy Manager server.

 

Because of the special labelling options available for Manrex labels, these will always be printed by Pharmacy Manager.

 

See also Individual setting for robot items.

Use robot labeller from this terminal

When the Consis labeller is configured to print dispensing labels, you can enable or disable the output for any client terminal

  • Check the Use robot labeller from this terminal box to Enable

This check box is available on any Pharmacy Manager client terminal.

 

 

When using robot retrieval with labelling functions a high level of dispensing vigilance is essential. It is important that all those using the Pharmacy Manager/label Master system are familiar with the labelling workflow variations involved.
