Printer Setup

 

The exact steps to set up your printer will vary depending on the printer's make and model. This article provides details for Zebra printers, the most common thermal label printer brand. If you have any trouble, you will need to start by making sure the right driver(s) are installed.

 

Tip: Use Silent Printing in Google Chrome to disable the popups that require clicks to select printers and print files. The result is quick and automatic shipping label printing. See setup instructions below.

a. If you print shipping labels on 8.5 x 11" printer paper, click the Print Test Integrated Label button to send the file to your printer.

b. If you print shipping labels only (no packing slips) on thermal label paper, click the arrow on the Print Test Integrated Label button and select Print 4x6 Label to send the file to your printer.
