Printing labels
Create the PDF: Once you’ve selected your orders, click “Create PDF” in the bottom right. This generates the PDF for printing.
Printing options:
- Print directly: Most browsers allow you to easily send the PDF to your printer.
- Save and Print later: Click “Download PDF” to save the file to your computer. Then, open it in your preferred PDF viewer and print from there.
Print the PDF, not the webpage: Make sure you’re printing the actual PDF document and not the Lightning Address Labels webpage that displays it.
Alignment
For crisp, perfectly aligned labels, follow these printing tips:
- Ditch the Auto-Scaling: Make sure “Auto scale” or “fit to page” is disabled in your printer settings. You want the PDF to print at its original size.
- 100% is the Magic Number: Set your print scale to 100%. This ensures the labels match the dimensions of your chosen template.
- Match the Template: Verify that your page size setting matches the specific label sheet template you’re using, or the label’s width and height if you’re using a label printer.
- Zero Margins: Set your page margins to zero for an exact fit on your label sheet.
