New Features - Full Screen & Screen Shot

By Laura Andersen

In our latest 3.6 version of Datacon Dental software, we have introduced a new feature to expand your viewing window to Full Screen on PC workstations. This allows you to drop the Windows portion from your screen view and enables you to have more area to see your Datacon window.

You must be on the latest version of pcLink software for Windows (dated 2/12/10 or later) to use this new feature. Click on File on the top menu then click Full Screen, to turn it on or off. There will be a check mark next to it when it is on. This feature is not permanent and will turn back off when you close your Datacon pcLink session, unless you check the box in Customize pcLink to allow it to Start with full screen.

Another new tool has been added to allow you to take a screen shot and paste this “picture” of your screen in Word. You can also save it to the Patient Folder or attach it to an email. Just click File on the top menu, and then click Screen Shot. The Save As window will come up and allow you to save your image onto your PC. Just give it a name and choose where you want to save it and you’re finished. This comes in handy for capturing pop-up messages that you would normally have to write down.

Also, with newer pcLink versions you have options to have different background colors, as well as different lines and dot colors. Click File, then Customize. Use the scroll bars to get the exact hue and brightness for your background color. Click on the down arrow next to Line and Dot color to choose the right combination. You can choose Start with full screen at this point as well.

The Intercom can now be opened with a click of the menu item, or you can just press the F10 key.

The Calculator can be opened with a click of the menu item, or you may also use the Shift + F8 key.

Traveling Study Group Seminars

By Flo Janes

Last year we held several Study Groups for specialty and general practices. The primary focus was on running a paperless office. These meetings were very well attended and a lot of useful information was presented. As always, we listen to your feedback and it directly affects the development of our software. Datacon is now offering one-day seminars in the Sacramento and San Jose areas.

Mark your calendars for our next events:

• SACRAMENTO STUDY GROUP - WEDNESDAY JUNE 2, 2010
• SAN JOSE STUDY GROUP - WEDNESDAY JUNE 16, 2010

Datacon Dental Systems has all of the tools - both clinical and administrative - so come learn how to use them!

Subjects to be covered include scheduling, email and digital x-ray integration, referral tracking and communication, electronic consent forms, periodontal charting, tooth charting, treatment planning, electronic chart notes, and downloading data to an iPhone or BlackBerry. If you are interested in maximizing the power of your Datacon system, you will not want to miss this meeting. CE units are available as well.

Call or email us for more information about these events.
