Prescriptions — Pre-Printed Paper That Actually Works

Print prescriptions on your pre-printed letterhead with margins that actually fit your paper, and the signature on every copy comes out sharp black instead of a grey ghost. We rewrote the print path because the previous “Print on Physical Letterhead” mode was still double-printing the digital header on top of your pre-printed one, which clinics had been working around with sticky tape.

​
What’s new

  • Physical-letterhead mode is now correct. Pick “Print on Physical Letterhead” and the PDF contains only the medical content — Rx number, patient, medications, diagnosis, signature — with proper top and bottom margins to land in the writable zone of your pre-printed paper.
  • Default safe-zone margins of 60mm top and 32mm bottom. Most clinic letterheads fit cleanly inside the default on the first try.
  • Allowed range widened to 5–120mm top and 5–100mm bottom. Clinics with very tall letterhead designs can dial in the exact values they need.
  • Crisp opaque-black signatures. The signature compositor re-tints every stroke pixel to pure black at full opacity before embedding. A faint pencil signature comes out as a sharp black one.
  • The “Dr.” prefix is consistent. Doctor and admin accounts always print as “Dr. ” — across the app, the prescription, the receipt and every other exported document.
  • A double-submit guard on Save. A fast double-click on Save no longer issues two prescription numbers for the same patient.

​
How to use it

  1. From an appointment or patient record, click New Prescription.
  2. Pick the medications, dosage and notes.
  3. In the bottom toolbar, choose Digital letterhead for an OdontoX-branded PDF, or Physical letterhead if you want to print on your own pre-printed paper.
  4. If you chose Physical letterhead, dial in the top and bottom margins. The defaults work for most letterheads — preview before printing if you have a tall design.
  5. Click Save & Print. The signature on the printed copy will be sharp black.

​
What changed since the last revision

  • Physical-letterhead mode no longer duplicates the clinic header and footer.
  • Margins now accept 5–120mm top and 5–100mm bottom; defaults are 60 and 32.
  • Signatures print opaque black.
  • The “Dr.” prefix is consistent across all documents.
  • The Save button is protected against double-clicks.
