Printing order forms and labels

You can print order forms and labels. You can only print using this method if the sample is not yet collected, or within two hours of the sample being collected.

You can't print order forms or labels for samples that were collected more than two hours ago.

If you print order forms or labels before you collect samples, make sure you return to Nervecentre and mark the samples as collected.
