How to print labels automatically?

Configure a default printer so that new label entries are sent to print automatically.

Automatic label printing is enabled by default. Every newly created label entry in Business Central is immediately sent to the selected printer.

If, for example, you create a label from an item card or from item ledger entries, a dialog box appears before printing where you can review and change the label data.

To ensure automatic printing works correctly:

1. Make sure a default printer is configured in label setup, in the 🖨️ Printing section.
2. If no printer is assigned for the user, you must select a printer manually for each label print.

Note

Automatic printing also works with ShopFloor integration and API calls — in these cases the dialog box is not displayed.
