Patient Labels and Printing

InSched provides several options for printing patient-related labels, envelopes, and accessing patient information from a centralized dialog.

Accessing the Print Patient Dialog​

Select File > Edit Patient, Print Patient Labels & Postage from the menu.

Finding a Patient​

The dialog includes a patient search field. Type a few letters of the patient's name and search to select the patient you want to work with.

You can also:

  • Create a new patient directly from this dialog
  • Edit an existing patient's record

Label and Envelope Options​

Address Labels​

Print adhesive address labels for the selected patient. Label format and printer are configured in Preferences > Address Labels.

Configuration options include:

  • Label Printer - Select which printer to use
  • Font Size - Set the font size (zero for maximum that fits)
  • Horizontal/Vertical Offset - Fine-tune label positioning in pixels
  • Center Horizontally - Center text on the label
  • Center Each Line - Center each line individually
  • Center Vertically - Center text vertically on the label

File Folder Labels​

Print labels for patient file folders. Configured in Preferences > File Folder Labels.

Additional options:

  • Foldover (double) labels - Print labels that fold over the file tab
  • Flipped foldover - Reverse the foldover direction
  • Birthdate on label - Include the patient's date of birth
  • Chart Number on label - Include the chart number
  • One line label - Compact single-line format

Stamped Envelopes (Stamps.com Integration)​

If Stamps.com is configured, you can print postage-paid envelopes and labels:

  • Print Stamped Envelope - Standard envelope with postage
  • Print Stamped Flat - Large flat mailer with postage
  • Print Stamped Package - Package label with postage

The system detects whether the Stamps.com printers (SDCEnvelope, SDCFlat, SDCPackage) are configured and shows a reminder to keep the Stamps.com client running during printing.

Additional Functions​

From the Print Patient dialog, you can also:

  • Edit Patient Plan - Open the patient's treatment plan for editing
  • Open Patient Chart - Access the patient's electronic chart

Configuring Label Printing​

Label printing is configured in Preferences:

  • Preferences > Address Labels - Address label settings
  • Preferences > File Folder Labels - File folder label settings

Both sections allow you to:

  • Select the printer
  • Set font size
  • Adjust horizontal and vertical offsets
  • Print sample labels to test alignment
