    The application asks to accept a self signed certificate to be able to communicate from the browser to the application via HTTPS. Its opens a web browser at this address: https://localhost:9101/ssl_support
  • Zebra printers can now be added as available printers (connected over LAN printers as well as locally over USB)
    The application opens a local port (9101) over which the website can connect and communicate with the printers.
