MeadCo’s browser add-on, ScriptX, enables controlled and consistent printing from Internet Explorer, essential for the precision and accuracy needed for case notes and procedure follow-up in a veterinary practice. Now the latest release, ScriptX 8.0, is available, designed specifically for use on Microsoft’s newest edition, Internet Explorer 11.
The key benefits of the ScriptX product are ensuring consistent formatting and appearance of the printed output of browser-hosted content from any local or networked printer. This is regardless of the printing configurations already set in each individual computer’s Internet Explorer (IE) browser. This means that patient case notes, lab notes, prescriptions, forms, labels, and more can be printed correctly first time, every time, identically, from all devices.
The new aspects in the ScriptX 8.0 release include the main installers being dramatically reduced in size and the introduction of a new ability to control the smallest scale factor, useful for graphing on large monitors with high pixel counts.
MeadCo has designed ScriptX 8.0 as, from last year, Microsoft only provides technical support and security updates to the most current version of IE. MeadCo foresees that many of its customers may choose to update to IE 11 on all their client PCs and wants its offering to reflect the very latest technology. However, the ‘MeadCo Promise’ guarantees continued support for ScriptX to all licensees, even when Microsoft introduces newer versions and updates*. This means that MeadCo will continue to provide technical support, bug fixes and security updates to users of ScriptX on earlier versions of IE. Alongside this, MeadCo will continue active development of ScriptX 8.0 for IE11.
Jerry Mead, CEO of MeadCo – the UK creators of ScriptX – explained: “If all end users operate Internet Explorer 11, then ScriptX 8.0 is the best possible option. ScriptX 7.7 should be deployed if end users operate a mix of Internet Explorer 11, alongside previous releases, or if the end users operate Internet Explorer 10 or earlier. “ScriptX has been available as a browser add-on since 1998 and is currently installed on many millions of Windows machines around the world. Whilst it is great to have proven 100% functionality and security over nearly 20 years, it is also vital that ScriptX continues to be at the very forefront of new technology. This is why we constantly develop and improve the system, creating new releases, while ensuring existing customers will always be supported.”
Veterinary practices using Internet Explorer 11 can be sure that ScriptX 8 will give the same excellent result for which ScriptX is known.
