Printers

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

Labels can be printed on either A4 cut-sheet or for 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 for the multi-part stationary 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 stationary before going live.
