# Print a Shopify order from the order Print menu with Auto Order Printer

Section: Shopify

> Choose which Auto Order Printer printer locations appear in the Print menu of a Shopify order, and print an order from that menu.

This page shows you how to print a single Shopify order from the **Print** menu on the order in your Shopify admin, using the layouts of your [Auto Order Printer](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#auto-order-printer) printer locations. It is for Shopify store owners and staff who want to print an order by hand.

## How the Print menu works

Each printer location in Auto Order Printer can appear as an entry in the **Print** menu of a Shopify order. When you choose one, Shopify shows a print preview of the order with that printer location’s template and appearance.

Printing from this menu works differently from automatic printing:

- It prints from the web browser on the computer you are using, to a printer installed on that computer. That printer does not have to be one of your BizPrint [printers](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#printer).
- It does not send a [print job](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#print-job) to your BizPrint [station](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#station), so it does not appear in the [BizPrint dashboard](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#bizprint-dashboard).
- Nothing prints until you confirm it in the print preview and in your browser’s print window.

To send orders to your BizPrint printer by themselves, see [Print Shopify orders automatically with Auto Order Printer](https://docs.getbizprint.com/shopify/automatic-printing/).

## Check before you print

If automatic printing is on, the order may already have printed, or may be about to. Do these checks first, so you do not print the order twice:

1. Look at the printer, and at the printouts you already have, for a printout of the order.
2. Check the order’s print jobs and their [status](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#print-job-status) in the BizPrint dashboard.
3. Wait for the station to finish anything it is still printing, whatever status the job shows.
4. Do not print the order while one of its print jobs is still **pending**, **connecting-to-printer** or **processing**.

## Print an order from the Print menu

1. Open the order in your Shopify admin.
2. Click **Print**.
3. Choose the entry for the printer location you want. A print preview opens inside Shopify.
4. Click **Continue to print**.
5. Choose your printer in your browser’s print window.
6. Print the order.

## Choose which printer locations appear in the Print menu

Every printer location appears in the **Print** menu until you turn it off. This includes new printer locations.

1. Open your Shopify admin.
2. Click **BizPrint: Auto Order Printer** under **Apps**.
3. Click the **Printers** tab.
4. Open the printer location you want to change.
5. Find the **Shopify Print menu** box.
6. Tick or clear **Show this location in the Shopify admin Print menu**.
7. Type the name the menu should show in **Display label (optional)**, if you want a different name. If you leave it empty, the menu uses the printer location’s **Description**.
8. Save the printer location.
