Preliminary Steps
Repeat the initial access and login procedures as described for Mozilla Firefox. The process for selecting and initiating a print job before enabling automatic printing remains consistent across browsers.
Configuring Automatic Printing
Duplicate your Google Chrome shortcut on the desktop and rename the copy for ease of identification (e.g., "Chrome for Events").
Right-click the new shortcut, select "Properties", and append " --kiosk-printing" to the "Target" field. Ensure this addition is outside of any quotation marks. Apply and close.
Open Chrome using this modified shortcut and open app.phantaisia.com to now automatically print images.
