Labels 

There are two ways to print labels.

Individual Labels
Print labels one at a time using a special label printer. This is useful for single address labels for a patient or insurance carrier. Labels do not display on the screen before printing, and are not saved in the database. There are several places where single labels can be printed.

Patient Labels:  In the main Toolbar, click Label.

Insurance Carrier Labels: 
- In the main Toolbar, click the Label dropdown and select the carrier. 
- On the Edit Insurance Plan window, click Label.
- On the Send Claims window, highlight the claims, then click Labels. Single labels will print for those carriers.

Appointment Label for single appointment:  Right click on an Appointment, then click Print Label.

Referrals:  In the main Toolbar, click the Label dropdown and select the Referral source. 

A dedicated label printer costs about $150-$200. For example the Dyno-Label maker.  Since it uses thermal printing technology, it requires special labels made specifically for thermal printers. It plugs into the USB port and requires some installation. Once you setup your label printer as a Windows printer, go to the EZ2000 Plus  Dental Printer Setup on the workstation where you will be printing labels. Set labels to print on your new printer with no prompt.

Label formats can be customized in Sheets Setup. Internal label templates come with EZ2000 Plus Dental, but you can customize alignment, sizing, wording, font size, static text, images, etc. 

Sheets of Labels
Print sheets of labels on a laser or inkjet printer. This method is useful when printing large quantities of labels, such as for Recalls, birthday cards, etc., though many offices prefer laser postcards instead.  The disadvantage to this method is leftover labels on the sheet that are hard to run through the printer again.  The Recall List has built-in functionality for printing sheets of labels. 

There is also a Laser Labels feature which can print labels for patients, insurance companies, and birthdays.

If you need sheets of labels for any other purpose, you have to create a report, export to a text file, and then merge into your own Word template.  Instructions and video: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HA011269731033.aspx#beginning
