Installing Printer for Leaflets / Reports / MAR

List of Printers

If you are using Pharmacy Manager to print leaflets to a laser printer, or the thermal printer to print labels then, before setting the printers up, please see:

 

Automatic Leaflet Printing - setup

 

Overriding Automatic DILs printing
 

Printing with Windows printer drivers

 

For these printers you need to use the Windows drivers and the Printer name rather than the Port name.

Any printer used for Knowledge Base leaflets must first be set as the Windows default printer.
