How to Set Up a Default RX Printer in the Medication Module

You can now save the Rx (blue paper) printer in the medication module. You no longer have to press preview & then go to the printer selection up in the upper left hand corner to get the Rx printer.

To set the Rx printer as your favorite, start by going to Tools & then Preferences on the upper navigation bar.

From Preferences select Medication Tab

On the Medication Tab you will see a Printing & Faxing drop down menu. Pick the printer you wish to be your default. Since we ERx most of our scripts, this should probably be the blue paper printer at your station. Press Apply then OK.

Now when you choose to print a script, you just need to press the Print button in the Medication Module.

If you wish to use a different Printer than the default printer, you can press the  (...) button next to the Printer path & you will get a drop down menu again to choose from. This will not change your default printer but will just print that one script on a different printer.

Setting this preference up does not change your printer for documents, only for scripts.
