Customizing Barcode Label Print Preferences

A new option for customizing the barcode location has been added to Label Preferences. This option lets you customize the print preferences for Barcode and/or Auxiliary labels for Daily Laser and Half Labels. You have the option to select the number of barcoded auxiliary labels that will be printed for each prescription, as well as the print location of each barcode. This feature is useful if your auxiliary labels range from lighter to darker colours; choose to print the barcode on a light colour label, as the imaging scanner will not be able to read a barcode on a dark background (i.e. a barcode on a dark red label cannot be read).

Note: The barcode auxiliary labels are only available on the Daily Laser Label and Half Label.
