Printing in Chrome in Kiosk Mode - SKYTOUCH.CLOUD

Setting to print from SKYTOUCH.CLOUD without print preview or printer selection.

General Online instructions

Steps to Set Up Kiosk Printing (Windows)
  1. Set Default Printer: Ensure your receipt or document printer is set as the default printer in Windows.
  2. Create Shortcut: Create a desktop shortcut for Chrome.
  3. Edit Properties: Right-click the shortcut and select Properties.
  4. Modify Target: In the Target field, add a space after the existing path and append:
    --kiosk --kiosk-printing
    Example: "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --kiosk --kiosk-printing https://your-website.com
  5. Save and Run: Click Apply/OK and use this shortcut to start Chrome. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
Important Considerations
  • Disable Print Preview: Ensure print preview is not enforced by policies (about:flags).
  • Exiting Kiosk Mode: Press Alt + F4 to exit the kiosk mode.
  • Silent Printing: The --kiosk-printing flag acts as "silent printing," which sends documents directly to the printer without user intervention.
  • Mobile Limitations: Kiosk printing is currently only supported on desktop/laptop computers (Windows/Linux/macOS), not on mobile devices.
  • Print Specific Printers: If different documents need to go to different printers, you may need to rely on PDF print actions that include printer name JavaScript, rather than just the default printer method. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
