Printer Setup

Printer setup steps vary by device, but this guide covers the Cahoot test-label workflow and the Zebra Browser Print setup used by most thermal label printers. If labels do not print correctly, start by confirming that the correct printer drivers are installed.

Test Your Printer in Cahoot

1Log in to Cahoot at https://app.letscahoot.net/merchant.

2Navigate to Settings > View Test Labels.

3Select the test print option that matches your printer setup:

• If you print shipping labels on 8.5 x 11" paper, click Print Test Integrated Label.
• If you print shipping labels only on 4x6 thermal paper, click the arrow on Print Test Integrated Label and select Print 4x6 Label.
• If you print both the label and packing slip on thermal paper, click the arrow on Print Test Integrated Label and select Print 4x6 Label and Packing Slip.

4If the file prints successfully, click Close. If it does not, continue with the troubleshooting steps below before contacting the Cahoot Support team.
