Hi All,
I am currently researching how to automatically send label files to a printer for printing.
After reviewing the documentation, we found that we can utilize Acumatica Device Hub for this purpose. I would like to inquire whether Acumatica Device Hub can be installed separately on the client-side.
Additionally, apart from using Device Hub, are there any other methods you would recommend for achieving automatic label printing?
Thank you,
Reggie

DeviceHub can be installed on any network / internet connected Windows machine, but for it to be able to run properly, it must run with Administrator permissions.
I would recommend a code customization, as you can customize exactly what and when you wish to print, possibly even extending workflow you already use to accomplish this.

+13I should also say, I believe you could use built-in functionality to accomplish this if the built-in printing processes fits your business processes, meaning, you should be able to configure reports etc to use default printers and so forth in such a way that the built-in label printing features spit out your labels. Many people have more customized processes than the built-in features can handle, therefore, code is the best way to accomodate that.

Hi Expert,
Thank you for your reply. I have another question. Is it possible to pass the paper size to the printer through the Device Hub? Currently, I need to modify the configuration settings to adjust the paper size.

+13By default, I think the paper size of each printer is set to Auto in DeviceHub. As long as it is set to Auto, I think you should be able to send whatever sized report you want, and it should attempt to print it.
I don’t know of any way to specify it dynamically in a print operation.
