14.07. Barcode scanning and prescriptions

Added: Version 5.01

If you have turned on bacrode scanning for prescriptions (see the 15.09. Barcode scanning preferences page for details) then, when you print out a prescription label, a second label containing a barcode will be printed with it. The label will look something like this:

When you scan this label from the prescription search window (choose Patient > Show patients in the menus) with a barcode scanner, it will open the prescription at the Payment tab ready for payment to be entered. See the 11.03. Prescription payments and credits page for details on Prescription payments.
