3. Setup

3.1 Loading Fan-Fold Labels

To load the fan-fold labels into your thermal printer, follow these general steps. Specific instructions may vary slightly depending on your printer model; always refer to your printer's manual for detailed guidance.

1. Ensure your thermal printer is turned off or in standby mode.
2. Place the stack of fan-fold labels directly behind your thermal printer. Ensure the labels are aligned neatly and the print side is facing up.
3. Gently feed the first label into the printer's label input slot. The printer should automatically detect the label and adjust its position.
4. Adjust the label guides within the printer to snugly fit the width of the 4x6 inch labels, preventing skewing during printing.
5. Perform a test print to confirm correct loading and alignment.

4.1 Printing

Once the labels are loaded, you can proceed with printing your shipping labels. Ensure your printer drivers are correctly installed and configured for 4x6 inch labels.

• Software Settings: In your shipping software or printer settings, select the label size as 4x6 inches.

After printing, carefully peel the label from its backing and apply it to your package. The strong adhesive ensures a secure bond.

• Ensure the package surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or debris for best adhesion.
• Press firmly across the entire label to eliminate air bubbles and ensure full contact with the package.
