Print API: What's Included
In this article
Print to an AirPrint-enabled printer
Supported in:
If you prefer not to allow printing from the navigation bar or want to only allow printing of specific pages, you can print from a button embedded in your page that calls our API-specific function.
This call prints the entire contents of the current webview, although it is possible to prevent certain content from printing by setting up a CSS stylesheet specifically for print using @media print.
Unless using the ‘Automatic Print Mode’ feature in our Enterprise version, this JavaScript call still brings up the standard iOS print dialog box, which allows the user to select which printer to use.
AirPrint relies on the device and the printer being connected to the same WiFi network to send and receive print jobs.
