Printers

As all of the major printouts are designed to print to plain A4 paper, we recommend therefore a multi-bin laser printer for accounts, receipts and reports.

Labels can be printed on either: A4 cut-sheet; continuous labels; or a thermal label printer. Dot matrix printers are not recommended because of the difficulties in printing to custom page sizes.

Medicare Assignment forms can be printed on plain A4 if the site is using Medclaims or on a dot matrix printer for the multi-part stationery supplied by the HIC.

Note: The A5 Blue account forms used by RX Dos sites are only supported in RX Medical as A4, therefore these sites will need to order new stationery before going live.
