BioLink HIMS v1.2.6

POS receipt printing

80 mm receipts no longer print cut off. On some 80 mm printers,
receipts came out enlarged with both edges cut off. Receipts now print
at the correct size on both 58 mm and 80 mm paper.

The manufacturer's driver is no longer required. Receipts can now
print on a thermal printer that uses Windows' built-in
Generic / Text Only driver. The printer only needs to be added in
Windows.

New setting: Print method (POS Settings → This computer, desktop app only)

  • Direct (ESC/POS): the default. Use it for thermal receipt
    printers that use a paper roll, such as Epson TM series, Xprinter,
    Rongta and GOOJPRT.
  • Printer driver: use it for printers that take A4 or letter
    sheets (inkjet, laser or dot-matrix, such as Epson EcoTank or HP).
    It needs the printer's own driver installed. These receipts print as
    a narrow strip on a full sheet.

After updating: open POS Settings and click Print a test
receipt on each POS computer. If the test receipt comes out as random
characters or blank paper, switch that computer to Printer driver.

Messages

Click a message to mark it as read. Unread messages have a red
dot. A message is marked as read only when you click it, so opening
Messages doesn't mark everything as read.

Go straight to the patient from a message. Messages about a
patient now have a button that takes you to the patient's profile:

  • Open patient: on LIS document requests.
  • Review patient: on patient deletion requests, so an Admin can
    approve or restore.
  • Open : on document edit approvals. Opens the patient's
    profile with that document selected.

Clicking the button also marks the message as read.

The unread message banner now stays up until you read your
messages. Before, opening Messages hid the banner even if you hadn't
read anything, while the red badge on the envelope button stayed. Now
the banner and the badge match:

  • The banner stays up while you have unread messages, including while
    Messages is open.
  • The count goes down as you read messages, and the banner goes away
    once they're all read.
  • Click × to hide the banner; it comes back when a new message
    arrives.
