If you get a message that says Driver for label printer cannot be found, follow these steps:

1 Using the appropriate procedure for your operating system, access the list of printers.

2 Access your user profile (as described in Customize Your User Profile), click the Label Printer tab, type the name that your operating system uses for the label printer in the Name Override box, and then click Save.

For shared network resources, be sure to use the correct UNC path. For example, if the Windows printer list identifies the printer as Dymo LabelWriter 400 on printserver1, in the Name Override box you would type \\printserver1\Dymo LabelWriter 400 rather than Dymo LabelWriter 400 on printserver1.

After you have specified a name, click Print Test Label to ensure that the label prints at the appropriate printer.

Notes:   • The specified printer name must be valid. For example, if you are using a DYMO LabelWriter 400, do not type DYMO LabelWriter 450 in the Name Override box. • If your printer name contains an apostrophe ('), you must rename your printer. • You might have to log out and log back in for this change to take effect.

To resolve this, select the Print PDF as Image check box in your user profile. For more information, see Customize Your User Profile.

This can occur if the label printer is set as the default printer for your operating system. Refer to the documentation for your operating system and make sure your regular printer is set as the default printer.

If you need to retain the label printer as your default printer, in most cases you should be able to select your regular printer on the Print dialog box that appears whenever you print.

If your label printer is not operating properly, you might need to upgrade your label printer software. For more information, refer to your label printer documentation.

Depending on how your user account is set up by an administrator, patient test results can be downloaded in either HL7 2.3 or 2.3.1 format. If your external system is set up to work with the HL7 2.3 format, and your user account is set up to use HL7 2.3.1, problems with importing the data into an external system might occur, since additional data are available, and some of the data appears in different locations within the HL7 file. To determine or change how your user account is set up, contact the Help Desk (as described in Contacting the Help Desk).

For some individuals or labs, the capability to print standing order renewal letters has been disabled. However, if you see the check boxes, buttons, or links to print these letters, but using them has no effect, disable your pop-up blocker and set security for your trusted sites to low. For information about doing this, refer to the online help for your browser.
