Label Size

You need to use Blank 70mm x 35mm dispensing labels. Pre-printed labels with Pharmacy information may stop barcodes scanning correctly.

Label Printer - Driver

You need to use the Zebra GK420d direct thermal printer for label printing.

There is a specific version of the printer driver that must be used:

This is the Zebra GK420d v51075146 and can be downloaded here: https://tinyurl.com/ycxgjy3x

Label Printer - Margins

The Page Size needs to be edited within the printer driver. Once the printer driver has been installed, visit the Windows Printers & Scanners menu. Right click on the printer and select Properties (or Manage).

In the Size section, change the settings to:

Width 8.90

Height 3.90

In addition to these settings, CAPA has label margins which allow the print text to be moved within the label. If you find a test label has a gap on the left, you may wish to reduce the left margin size within CAPA.

To do this, go to:

1. Search

2. System Settings

3. Printer Margins > Left

4. You are able to Print test labels to confirm the dispensing information and Barcodes are aligned correctly.
