Barcode Sticker Printing

Once the data is returned in API response the sticker is created in HTML DOM and then it is converted to raw image data then is sent to INCREFF Print App

Instructions to install INCREFF Print App

Open chrome://flags/#allow-insecure-localhost
Click on "Enable"
Restart Chrome
To get started, download the latest Zip file using the link provided. It's best to use Port 9979 for this download.
After downloading, extract the contents of the file. Navigate to the folder structure: Downloads\Increff-Printing-Winx64-8015-v10_4.zip\Increff-Printing-Winx64-8015-v10_4>apache-tomcat-8.5.8>bin.

Find the file named startup.bat and right-click on it. Choose "Extract all" from the menu.
Once the extraction is complete, go back to the folder apache-tomcat-8.5.20\bin\ and locate startup.bat again. Double-click on it to run.
When you see the message "INFO [main] org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.start Server startup in 35457 ms" in the Tomcat console, it indicates that the file has been executed correctly. You can now proceed with printing.

Note: You will have to run this file every time windows start or you close this program.

For Proxy secured networks,

Bypass proxy server for local addresses' should also be enabled in 'Internet Options -> Connections tab -> LAN settings' in all the systems connected to the printer.
In Increff-Printing-Winx64-8005-v1\apache-tomcat-8.5.20\bin\setenv.bat file, please remove the "rem" keyword from the start of the line mentioning JAVA_OPTS=-Djava.net.useSystemProxies=true. Save the file and re-run the tomcat.
If step 2 doesn't solve the problem, the below steps should be considered.
Please remove the "rem" keyword from the start of the line mentioning JAVA_OPTS=-Dhttp.proxyHost. The same IP address and port number must be added in place of "<Your Proxy Domain URL or IP Address>" and "<Your Proxy Port>" in Increff-Printing-Winx64-8005-v1\apache-tomcat-8.5.20\bin\setenv.bat file. Save the file and re-run the tomcat.
If it still doesn't work, alter step 2, ie, add the "rem" keyword
If it still doesn't work, We would need to disable the Proxy.

Please go through the README document contained inside the unzipped folder.

Prerequisite Condition

The Barcode Printer driver should be installed, and sticker size should be saved at the OS level.
Java Tomcat should have run access on every system.
Internet access should be allowed for Java Tomcat on both Public and private networks.
Catalina log will show the error reason if Tomcat is not working.
Below URLs and applications should be whitelisted and should have access to the internet before starting operations

Visit http://localhost:8080/print/

Users should see a welcome page where the user can give a Test Print.

How to start the Print Application automatically?

The Startup folder in Windows contains a list of shortcuts for those applications that start when your Windows start.

The Current Users Startup folder in Windows 10 is located at:

C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

These programs start up for the currently logged-in user only. To directly access this folder, open Run, type shell: startup, and hit Enter.

Add shortcuts to the startup.bat in this folder. Now, when the system is shut down and turned on again, the print application will start automatically.
