ScriptSure can print to any printer in your office. We do offer a printer that has been specifically designed for printing prescriptions (learn more here: Prescription printing). The paper used for prescription printing depends on which state you practice in. Some states (e.g. NY, NJ) have their own paper templates that must be used for prescriptions. While many states may not have templates, they may have specific security paper requirements that need to be adhered to; in addition Medicare has set forth several requirements. (learn more here: Secure Paper).

If I use a prescription-sized printer or laser paper for a printer how do I print reports or other documents?
ScriptSure has flexible printing setup. Prescriptions can be sent to a specific printer or tray while other 8.5 x 11 documents can be printed (e.g.patient encounter summary report) to another printer or tray within a printer.
