 +===== VI. Optional: Optimizing Firefox for Check-In =====
 +
 +
 +This step is optional, however, Firefox can be configured so that the print dialog box will not show each time you print a label. We strongly encourage you to set up both your Manned and Self Check-In stations to prevent these. If the computer is used for purposes other than Check-In, please print using a different browser.
 +
 +1: Confirm your Dymo label printer is the default printer (see Step III, above).
 +
 +2: In Firefox, type 'about:config' in the address bar and press enter.
 +
 +    You will get a warning message saying 'This might void your warranty!' It's ok. Go ahead and click ‘I’ll be careful, I promise!’. Firefox is free and can be reinstalled if necessary.
 +
 +3: To prevent the print dialog from opening:
 +
 +    Type ‘print.always_print_silent’ in the search box
 +
 +    If you find a line with this exact phrase, ensure the ‘Value’ is set to true. If it is set to false, double-click the line to toggle it to true.
 +
 +    If you do not find this exact phrase:
 +
 +        Right-click in the empty screen
 +
 +        In the resulting menu, choose 'New > Boolean'
 +
 +        Type 'print.always_print_silent' in the 'Enter the preference name' field and click OK
 +
 +        Select true from the choices and click OK.
 +
 +4: To hide the print progress bar:
 +
 +    Type ‘print.show_print_progress’ in the search box
 +
 +    If you find a line with this exact phrase, ensure the ‘Value’ is set to false. If it is set to true, double-click the line to toggle it to false.
 +
 +    If you do not find this exact phrase:
 +
 +        Right-click in the empty screen
 +
 +        In the resulting menu, choose 'New > Boolean'
 +
 +        Type 'print.show_print_progress' in the 'Enter the preference name' field and click OK
 +
 +        Select false from the choices and click OK
 +
 +5: To hide the labels from showing on the screen:
 +
 +    Type loadDiverted in the search bar
 +
 +    Find browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground and double-click it to ensure it's set to true
