To configure printer settings for prescription printing in EMIS Web, follow these steps:

Access Printer Settings

Open the Medication module by selecting the EMIS Web menu, then navigate to Care Record and click on Medication. Access the Printing section by clicking the printer icon in the toolbar. Here, you can specify your preferred printer settings for prescriptions.

Select the Desired Printer

In the Printer screen, choose the printer that you wish to use for prescription printing. Ensure it is set as the default printer for medical prescriptions by adjusting the settings accordingly.

Adjust Paper and Orientation Settings

Make sure your selected printer is set to the correct paper size and orientation. Align these settings with the prescription paper used at your practice to avoid printing errors or incomplete information.

Properly configuring your printer settings can streamline prescription processes, minimizing errors and saving time. Ensuring that the configuration aligns with practice needs can lead to smoother everyday operations for administrative staff and healthcare practitioners.

If you're printing electronically signed prescriptions, check if a prescription token is necessary. This can sometimes need separate printer settings for optimised outputs.
