Overview

• This article outlines how to set up the Print Application for Windows and Mac, so you can print labels and documentation directly to your printer.
• NB: Australia Post label sheet printing can be done via the Print Application but needs configuration first. To configure this you will need to add your Label Sheet settings in Settings > Printing (rather than in Print Application Print Settings). See our guide for more info.

Requirements

• Windows: Windows 10 with .NET Framework 4.8. You will be prompted to install .NET when you run the installer
• Mac: Mojave and above. 
• For older systems applications, try the print client.

About

• The print application allows for the print settings to be local to your computer. This means that you can have multiple computers all logged into one account but have their own printers.
• Every computer will need to follow the below steps and select which printers they would like their specific computer to use.
