Beginning with version 7.10.00, Rx-Universe allows labs to print AR envelopes designed with Satisloh's LOHreport program.
The LOHreport program produces a template in XML format; to use a template designed in LOHreport, place the resulting XML file into the RX-XML subfolder (under the root Rx-Universe folder).
Please note that the LOHreport program must be obtained from Satisloh - this program is not provided with Rx-Universe.
Set Up Rx-Universe for User-Defined AR Envelopes
First, the XML file(s) produced by LOHreport (these are the templates) should be placed into folder RX-XML under the RxUniverse folder.
In Rx-Universe, on the Orders1 tab, set up the work ticket type as "XML", and then select the name of the work ticket to use:
Make sure the size of the paper you are using is selected as well; the default is North American Letter size, but many parts of the world should use A4 (or another size) instead.
Viewing Ticket In Order Entry
Printing of the XML format ticket happens exactly the same as PCL or other work tickets. One additional function is available with the XML work tickets - the user can choose to view the work ticket on the screen.
In the customer service screen, right clicking on the order shows a sub-menu - one option is now "View Work Ticket". Clicking that will create the PDF work ticket and display it on the screen.
Note, you must have Adobe Reader (or another PDF-compliant reader) installed on the client in order to view work tickets.

Trace Data
There are 4 ways to print frame trace data (the names below each example are what should be entered in the "Name" field of the shape box in the work ticket ticket template.
 |  |
|---|---|
| TRACE_ONLY | TRACE_W_THICK |
 |  |
| TRACE_W_CRIB | TRACE_W_THICK_CRIB |
Note that if printing both sides of the frame is desired, you can use TRACE_ONLY (or any of the other options) for one eye, and TRACE_ONLY2 (or any of the other options, with a "2" appended), to avoid an error in LOHreport of a duplicate field name.
