Printing, signatures and email

#Print with or without your signature

When you press Print on a signed prescription, RxKite asks:

• Sign by hand: nothing is printed above your name, so you sign in ink. This is what most doctors use at the clinic.
• Print my signature and stamp: your uploaded images are printed. Use this when the patient takes the print elsewhere, or for a clean copy.

Tick Remember my choice on this computer to skip the question next time. You can also pick which pad to print on, or download the PDF instead.

#A signed prescription keeps the details it was signed with

Signing freezes your name, qualifications, registration, clinic details, the pad layout and the signature and stamp images as they were at that moment. Changing your profile, a pad or your signature later does not change a prescription already signed: ⋯ → Download signed original, the emailed copy and the verification page all show it as issued. A reprint on paper uses the pad as you have it set up today, so it lines up with your printer, but still carries the details it was signed with.

#Upload your signature and stamp

Go to Settings → Signature, stamp & logo.

1. Sign on plain white paper with a dark pen.
2. Photograph it straight on, in good light, filling most of the frame.
3. Upload it: a JPG, PNG, WEBP, AVIF or SVG.
4. Edit it. A window opens on the photo.
   • Rotate left and Rotate right turn it a quarter at a time, for a photo taken sideways.
   • Straighten tilts it a little either way, for a photo taken askew. Line the writing up with the grid.
   • Drag the box, or its corners and edges, so it holds just your signature, leaving out anything else in the photo such as a second signature, a table edge or a shadow. On a computer the arrow keys move the box, and Shift with the arrow keys resizes it.
   • Reset undoes all three.
5. With Remove the paper background ticked, RxKite makes the paper transparent after the crop, on the part you keep, and trims it to the ink, so it sits cleanly on any pad. The preview beside it shows the image as it will be saved. Press Use this image.

To change a signature you have already uploaded, press Edit under it. Your stamp and logo open in the same window.

Your stamp works the same way and prints with the signature. Every prescription must carry your Reg. No., so make sure the stamp shows it. On plain paper with your name in the header, your typed name and Reg. No. under the signature are left off while the stamp prints, because the header already shows them. Without that header they keep printing under the signature. To print both anyway, turn on Name & Reg. No. under the signature for the pad in Pad & printing.

#Email the prescription

On a signed prescription press Email, check the patient's address, and send. The patient receives a short message from your name with the signed original attached as a PDF. If you have uploaded a signature it is included, since the patient cannot receive a hand-signed copy; untick it if you prefer. Replies go to your clinic email. Digital prescriptions walks through it step by step, including what to do if you print on a pre-printed pad.

If the Email button says it is unavailable, email sending is temporarily turned off; download the PDF and share it instead, or contact RxKite support.

#Verification QR

Each signed prescription can carry a small QR code. Anyone who scans it, such as a pharmacist, sees the record RxKite holds for it: the prescription number, date, the doctor and registration number as signed, the patient's initials, every medicine with its dose, route, timing, duration and instructions, and whether it has been voided, or updated (the QR code on an older version says not to dispense from that copy). The page asks them to compare each detail with the paper, so a changed dose or instruction stands out. It never shows the patient's full name, contact details or notes. RxKite shows your registration number as you entered it; it does not check it against the medical council's register.

Turn the QR off per pad in Pad & printing → What to print.

#Print settings that matter

• Scale: 100% / Actual size, never Fit to page.
• Margins: None or Default.
• Paper size matching your pad (A5 for most Indian pads).

#Reaching your plan's limits

The Free plan includes 10 prescriptions in all, counting every prescription the account has filed (including during the trial). Lite, Starter and Standard include a set number each month, shown on the plans page. Pro has no limit. A prescription counts once, when you sign it; reprinting or emailing it again never counts. A heads-up appears once you have used two-thirds, and again at 90%. At the limit, a new prescription cannot be started until you move to a bigger plan, which starts at once (on Lite, Starter and Standard, the start of a new month also lifts it), and a draft is not printed until it is signed. A draft you had already started can still be finished and signed. Every prescription you have already signed still opens, prints and emails as usual. The Free plan and its limit explains each step.

If your stored files fill up, nothing stops: you can still write, sign and print prescriptions, but their signed PDF copy is not saved and documents cannot be attached to patients until you add storage or choose a bigger plan. Nothing already stored is deleted.

While your account is at either limit, the full data download under Settings → Your data works twice a calendar month.
