Before starting to configure printers in DeviceHub, you should be sure that the needed feature has been enabled, MYOB Acumatica and DeviceHub have been configured, and a printer has been configured in Windows, as described in the following sections.

Enabling the Needed Feature

  • All report forms that will be used for printing
  • All forms that contain entities used for forming a report
