Set up Print Application

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.
• Note: Australia Post label sheet printing can be done via the Print Application but you'll need to configure it first. To do this, add your Label Sheet settings in Settings > Printing (rather than in Print Application Print Settings). See our guide for more info.
