Readme File for FDA Medication Guides Automatic Printing Java 
Component.

==========================Description=========================

The FDA Medication Guide Auto Print Java software program
is a Java-based program that automatically prints a copy 
of a FDA medication guide document when one exists for a 
requested prescription.

The FDA Medication Guide Auto Print Java software program 
receives a med guide print request from VistA which contains
the patient name, prescription number, date and .pdf filename 
for the requested med guide.  The med guide software retrieves 
a copy of the .pdf file from the local repository folder on the 
host server (C:\FDAMedGuidesPrinter\workspace\medguides) if
available.  If the requested med guide .pdf file is not found 
locally, an attempt is made to download the med guide from
the Consolidated Mail Outpatient Pharmacy (CMOP) Portal on the 
VAs network. When the file is downloaded from the CMOP portal,
a copy is placed in the local repository folder for future use.

Once the med guide .pdf file is downloaded and placed in the 
local repository, a copy is made. The patient name, prescription 
number, printed date and number of pages is appended to the 
document footer and sent to the requested printer.
