Points to note on Printers:

  • The dental practice is responsible for ensuring that the latest drivers are installed for the printer/s.

  • Printer drivers need to be installed on all workstations that will need to print.

  • If all printers are already configured to work within Windows, the printing setup will take less time during the EXACT installation.

  • Generally, it is not required that the network printer is ‘mapped’ to a local LPT port and it is not recommended.

  • The printers spooling type should be set to RAW.

  • If the same printer is to be used for both A4 and A5 printing, multiple printers will need to be configured, one for A4 and one for A5. The printers should be shared and clearly labelled so as to easily identify them, e.g. HP_A4 and HP_A5.
