Printing User-Selected Labels

In addition to generating and printing user-selected reports, you can generate and print user-selected labels.

To print user-selected labels:

1. Select Reports > Patient > Labels > User-Selected or Reports > Account > Labels > User-Selected. The Output Options window is displayed.

2. Select from the following:

3. To print individual labels on a label printer, select Printer.

4. To print labels on a laser printer, select Laser Label File.

Click OK. The Selection Criteria window is displayed.

3. Verify the selection criteria. If necessary, set up the label criteria, following the steps used to create a user-selected report. See Creating User-Selected Reports. Click OK.

4. Click OK. The User-Selected Labels window is displayed.

5. In the Options section, click the checkboxes to have the hygiene recall date, the next appointment date, or both, display on the labels. In the Lines Per Label field, specify the number of lines per label (the recommended default setting is 6). Click OK.
