Set up printed label layouts

Labels can be printed from many areas within Bp Premier, such as the patient record, reminders, or a database search.

Within a patient record, the label printer will print a page of the same label with the patient name, address, DOB and Medicare No. From the Reminders and Database Search screens, the printer will print one label for each patient listed on the screen.

Labels can be printed on A4 sheets on any printer or individual labels on a Dymo printer.
