Image Scanner Setup

These settings apply to both RX Image Scanning and the Document Scanning features of the BestRx program. The scanning feature is optional and must first be purchased.

  • Prompt to scan RX Image: Choose this option if you'd like the program to prompt you to scan a hardcopy image while filling a prescription.

  • Prompt for E-RXs: Choose this option if you'd like the program to prompt you to scan a hardcopy image of an electronic prescription while filling a prescription.

  • Scanner Name: Choose the appropriate scanner name.

  • Scanner User Interface: This option is set to 'No User Interface' by default. The scanner user interface is not necessary to scan images, this option should only be used when specifically required.

  • Display Rx Image on Refills: Choose this option if you'd like the scanned image to display when processing refills on a prescription with a hard copy scan attached.

  • Scan Both Side: This option pertains to Duplex scanners only, allowing both sides of the page to be scanned.

Miscellaneous

  • Screen Resize Mode: Choose how you'd like the BestRx window to display on your monitor.

  • Normal Full Screen (recommended): This setting stretches the window by 4:3 aspect ratio. It will leave a grey area on the right side of the screen when using a widescreen monitor.

  • Stretched Full Screen: This setting stretches and adjusts the program to fill the entirety of your monitor.

  • Do Not Resize: This setting keeps the program in native size. On modern monitors the program will appear as a small box in the upper left, with grey areas on the bottom and right of the screen.

  • Send "Enter" key after scanning: This option pertains strictly to the barcode scanner. If your barcode scanner isn't automatically entering the scanned code, it's most likely due to the device lacking the Enter input, if the barcode scanner is in its default mode/settings. Select "Yes" in this field to emulate this input.

 

Remember to click the "Save" button or press the "Enter" key when the "Save" button is highlighted to save the information. Click the "Save & Exit" button or press the "Enter" key when the "Save & Exit" button is highlighted to save the information and go to the Rx Processing screen.

 

The user may also clear all the data displayed on the screen by clicking the "Cancel" button or by pressing the "Enter" key when the "Cancel" button is highlighted.
