Brief Overview
Printing Middleware is bridging software that is required to be installed if you intend on printing onto pre-printed paper (such as request forms), use multiple trays, or use multiple printers for different kinds of print jobs (ie pathology and letters). Printing Middleware must be installed for each user on a computer, and on each computer in the practice that needs to print from Clinic to Cloud using different trays or printers.
Instructions
1. Log into Clinic to Cloud.
2. Open Settings > My Settings.

5. Click Install in the Application Install window.
6. Click Printing Preferences Setup in the My Settings window in Clinic to Cloud.
