Print Dialog Box Bypass Function

This function allows you to bypass the print dialogue box that appears when printing labels. At its default, Scan2Ship requires the user to scan the barcode invoice twice (1st scan: initiates label printing, 2nd scan: confirms print request via printer dialogue box). Setting up the Print Dialogue Bypass Box (PDBB) function overrides the need to scan the barcode twice, allowing for only a single scan to print shipping labels.

*IMPORTANT: Setting up PDBB creates an Edge/Chrome desktop browser shortcut that defaults all printing to the label printer. Do not use this desktop browser shortcut for regular internet browsing, as any attempt to print from it will automatically default to your label printer. Once you have set up your PDBB desktop shortcut, it is recommended to rename the shortcut ‘Scan2Ship’
