Frequently asked questions
What is the cost associated with this feature?
It is completely free.
Can Toniq automatically print the prescriptions as they come in?
Not yet, but we are aiming to have this available for version 5.44 (or early 2023).
Does this work for all prescriptions or just NZePS prescriptions?
Just NZePS, we will send any back to the sending email which we cannot recognise as a NZePS prescription.
My script are printing in A4, why?
Toniq determines the paper size based on the PDF document. If the doctor is sending prescriptions in A4 size Toniq will send them to the A4 printer.
How does this work with parent/child stores?
The inbox will deliver NZePS prescriptions for the stores email.
Multiple stores with one email address are not supported. But if both stores have separate emails, each store will receive their respective scripts to their own inbox.
I have set up email forwarding rules, but they aren’t being sent?
This might be due to the domain controls on forwarding outside of the local domain – the pharmacy might need to talk to their email provider to allow this.
Does the mail client need to be opened all the time for this to work?
Yes, in most situations.
