POST/PUT localhost:5001/label_writer_450/printPDF Print PDF Base64 encoded.

Body:

{
    label: [{
        stream: ...
    },
    {
        stream: ...
    }],
    orderId: ...,
    startingBox: ...
}

• label: labes's json array. Inside every json item must be a field called stream that is the Base64 ancoded stream.
• orderID: the order id. This field is mandatory to.
• startingBox: represents which package of the shipment you start printing from. Let's take an example which is easier. Suppose there is a 5-package shipment. The first two are printed. In this case staringBox is set to 0. To print the other three the data must be set to two. It might sound strange but trust me! Using startingBox correctly it will be possible to take advantage of the possibility of reprinting

POST/PUT localhost:5001/label_writer_450/reprintPDF

Reprint all the selected order labels.
