Good to know
- In the print dialog, set the scale to 100% (not "fit to page") and margins to None, or the labels will not line up.
- Print one test sheet on plain paper and hold it against a label sheet before using real labels.
- Shipping labels for couriers usually need the courier's own label with their tracking barcode; use these for return labels, internal shipments or address labels.
