[Revised Dec07]
"I selected the items to go on the foil however they printed on separate foils and I want them all on one foil. How do I do it?"
After selecting the items use Group Selected Scripts function from the Utilities menu.
"My foils roll on and I sometimes get a blank page, how to stop this?"
This can be caused by the 'cut off line' being set too near the bottom of the page. Set the page length for foil packs in the printer Properties to a few millimeters longer.
"When I edit a foil with an Alternate Day frequency weeks 2 and 4 come out the same as weeks 1 and 2. How to correct?"
When you edit an Alternate Day frequency you should press the Zero Foil button. Otherwise the seven days will be extrapolated for the whole month.
"How do I differentiate between a Monday/Wednesday/Friday script and an alternating script?"
If you enter the first two days dosage they will be copied for the whole month and they will alternate correctly (Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday on foil 1 and 3. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday on foil 2 and 4). If you enter the whole week (seven days) the week will be copied four times. (Foil 1, 2, 3 and 4 could all have Monday, Wednesday, Friday).
"How do I enter a 10 day antibiotic script?"
The default setting is Script 28 days change this to Script 10 days.(This works if the medication is to start on 'day one' of the foil)
If the medication is to start on (say) day 7 and go to day 16 then enter the duration as 16 days and set the first 6 days to '0,0,0,0'
"How do I enter a Prednisone script, 4 per day week 1, 3 per day week 2, 2 per day week 3, 1 per day week 4?"
Entering the top line, or two lines, of a foil only will cause the computer to copy them for the rest of the duration of the script. For a diminishing dosage on a script EVERY period must be entered. Note: for a '4 x Weekly' foil each week is color coded and easy to distinguish. On a 'Monthly' foil pack you need to look at the days at the side to see where the weeks start and end.
