Advanced Printing

There is an option on the Vision front menu under Options called Use Advanced Printing.

All practices are encouraged to move towards Advanced Printing. Once Advanced Printing is switched on, you should check Printer Profiles.

  • It will introduce you to the new Prescription Manager screen which replaces the current Print Therapy screen. Its Active Simple tab resembles the current Print Therapy screen so practice staff can choose whether they use this or the Active Full tab which divides items by prescription items. To a user on the Active Simple tab, reprinting is the only function that has moved.
  • Advanced Printing must be in use if nurses or supplementary prescribers are to print prescriptions.
  • Advanced printing must be enabled to print private controlled drugs.
  • In Scotland, Advanced Printing is a pre-requisite for ePharmacy.
  • In Wales and Northern Ireland, Advanced Printing must be switched on for barcoded prescriptions.
