Dymo Label Printer margins

[B.Thomas]

I never got around to mentioning it before but since we've been using Vers 5.5 the margins of the chart and radiograph labels that are sent to the Dymo Label printer are about 2 mm too far to the left cutting out the first 1 or 2 letters of the patient's name. Is there a way to adjust for this in the Opendental Program or do I need to do this in the code?

I can't wait to try out 5.6 with all our payment plans.

Thanks,

I think I fixed those dymo labels in 5.6...the same thing was happening to us, but now that I am on 5.6 it works great....and so far the payment plans are working great...upgrade now if you haven't already. PayPlans and PPO calculations are much better.

once you upgrade, report back here if the labels are working right, because I may have only programmed the change into my local copy of the program and not for everyone, I don't remember.

While you are working on the labels.....

Any chance of adding the feature when right clicking on an appointment to print patient's appointment info on a label?

Thanks,
DW

[drtech]

what kind of info are you wanting? (example)

[DavidWolf]

I would like to be able to print out a label to afix to an appointment card which has the patient's name appointment date and time and length of the appointment.

Thanks.

Hi David

i was wondering if you had been able to do this. Thanks.

no, sorry, I might be able to sometime this summer... can you give an example of exactly what you would want it to look like?

[Tauqir]

Something like this.

"patient name"

Your next appointment is on "day", "dd/mm/yy" at "time".

Your appointment will be with "name of clinician"


The label could then be stuck to a card. It would be even better if it could be prited out onto a compliment slip.
cheers

Is there such a feature natively available in 11.1?

[Jay]

Anyone? Basically we want to print appt reminders on a label printer.

[Rickliftig]

Jay - this feature has been available in OD for ages. Right click on the appointment and select "Print Label" - voila!

Yes, we have good support for label printers. Appointment reminders can be printed on Dymo printers. This topic is sort of old and irrelevant.
