Choose a compatible label printer and paper

Instinct supports DYMO and Zebra brand label printers. When purchasing label paper, we recommend that you use one of the following:

Note: Chromebooks use a different printing system than Windows and Mac computers. Because of this, they can't install the traditional DYMO and Zebra printer software required to print prescription labels. See Using Chromebooks, Tablets, and Touch-Enabled Devices for details.


Set up a TV monitor for your practice

TV monitors are optional, but most Instinct practices see greater staff efficiency with at least one TV for inpatients and one TV for outpatients. When purchasing a TV, follow these recommendations:

  1. Choose a basic LED or LCD TV. 4K, touch, curved, smart, or other advanced features are not needed.

  2. Select a size based on your patient load. Most practices choose a TV that is 50 inches or larger.

  3. Choose a TV with Full HD 1920x1080 ("1080p") resolution.

  4. Mount the TV vertically. Mounting hardware depends on the TV's size, location, and model, so follow the instructions included with your TV or contact your IT professional.

  5. Connect the TV using HDMI as a second monitor, which is the most common setup. Instinct can be opened multiple times on the same computer. Mirroring or casting will also work. Contact your IT professional for help setting up your connection.
