Additional Printer Information

• Your dental practice/IT specialist is responsible for ensuring the latest drivers are installed for the printer/s.
• Printer drivers must be installed on all workstations you wish to print from EXACT.
• It is not recommended that the network printer is ‘mapped’ to a local LPT port.
• Your printer spooling type should be set to RAW.
• If the same printer is to be used for both A4 and A5 printing, multiple print drivers will need to be configured, one for A4 and one for A5. The printers should be shared and clearly labelled to easily identify them, e.g. HP_A4 and HP_A5.
