I had some comments/suggestions I completely forgot to include yesterday re: label printing!

  1. Someone suggested a way to print multiple labels with one click. Not everyone felt this was needed, but I wanted to include.

    • Ex. you have filtered for all the labels you need but you need 4 copies. So instead of clicking "print" four times, could there be a way to select "four" and then print them all at once?
  2. Could there be a way to couple the state with the printer?

    • Ex. Some states require different label templates (LN vs FD vs. FD bag are the most common), but we often need them simultaneously. In order to do this, we must change the printer options between each state, which can be quite finicky.
    • Is it possible to have the printer know what label to print for every state and just hit "print" once (vs. having to change the templates and search filters to print the next label kind?)

Let me know if either of them need clarification! We can also discuss in 2 weeks at the next meeting. Emily

Hi Emily,

  1. It depends how it is represented. You could still print 4 copies in the printer dialog. If you would like to have 1 page but with 4 times the same label it's different. We would need a way to let you have the same records more than once.

  2. DINA is using the print options of your browser, it is not aware of the available printers. It won't have access to the different options of the printers. It may be possible to achieve that using another way (browser plugin or another app) but DINA is only producing labels as opposed to printing labels.
