Introduction

The introduction of ETP brings bar code printing to the GP Practice. For the codes printed at the GP practice to be read successfully at the pharmacy, the printing must be of good quality. To ensure this, the following guidelines must be met:

• Only Laser Printers may be used;
• The printer must be capable of printing at a resolution of at least 600 dots per inch (dpi);
• The printer consumables must not be past the end of their useful life;
• Regular maintenance is carried out on the printer.
