Printing to a label printer from a secured page
Problem
Adams Web prints directly to a label printer from the browser. When Adams Web is secured with HTTPS this presents a problem as browsers will block the call from a secure page to an insecure page. The label printers only communicate over HTTP (no SSL/TLS certificate).
Solution
Mixed content has to be allowed for Adams Web in the browser. This is only necessary on computers that will be printing labels. It is necessary for each user to make these changes.
