Sometimes it is necessary to adjust other parameters. These can be made available pressing the Advanced button on the Add (or Edit) Printer Profile settings screen.
- Page Height - Form feed. Only visible under Windows 95 (1/10 ths of a mm). The default is 2169 for scripts, 381 for labels.
- Form - NT Form name. Only visible under Windows NT, 2000 and XP. The default is the current printer form - note that you can scroll down and select various options including those listed below. If you do not pick from the Form picklist, then the default form is used, ie the form that is setup for that printer on your workstation. This is usually FP10 or A4 on a new printer. The form size does not really matter with FP10s in portrait mode unless it is smaller than the paper, so A4 is quite acceptable.
- If you select landscape in Orientation, then the form size becomes much more important.
- Label printer setup probably requires changing via advanced settings, unless the import is used
- If you import from an existing setting, then the form and other details are filled in accordingly, and no further action should be required other than fine tuning the margins.
- Reverse Feed - Reverse feed – (1/216 inch). The default is 0.
- Font - Font picklist – limited to Roman and Courier. Scottish scripts require Courier 11 on the left-hand side of the prescription. The default is Courier.
- Font Size - a limited range of 6-11. 11 for Scottish scripts, else 9. 7 for labels.
- Line Height - Labels only – must be greater than the Font size. The default is the Font Size.
- Bold - Labels only – bold or normal. The default is normal.
- Paper Source - Printer Bin to use. The default is the current printer bin, eg <default>. For Scotland where there is separate GP and nurse prescription stationery, you can specify the bin as you add or edit each.
.
- Orientation - Portrait or Landscape – a landscape option permits the use of some printers that cannot otherwise be used because of printer tray limitations. The default is Portrait.
