Q:
There is a PC and a drug label printer in the dispensary, how can I print it with the laptop in the consultation room?
A:

You can attach the drug label printer to the PC (PC-A) in the dispensary first, then share the printer over the clinic network. After that the laptop (PC-B) in the consultation room or other PCs can use the shared printer. Here are some short steps you can walk through:

 

1. Plug the drug label printer USB to the PC-A, and install an appropriate drive for the printer.

2. Print a test label with PC-A.

3. Follow the steps in the section "Share your printer" in http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/maintain/printers.mspx on PC-A to share the label printer over the clinic network.

4. Follow the steps in the section "Connect to a shared printer" in http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/maintain/printers.mspx on PC-B to install the label printer.

5. Set up drug label printer of the CMS3 / CMS+ client to the drug label printer attached to PC-A. The printer name should be like "DRUG on PC-A".

6. Print a test label with PC-B.

 

Please note that PC-A must be turned on when PC-B wants to print with the drug label printer.
