Shipping label dimensions

How do I adjust the setting for my shipping label to print it on 4x6 label paper? It wants to print it very small.

It's a dedicated label printer. If I buy my shipping label from a source other than E-Bay, the label prints perfectly.


Make sure your label size is correct - set to 4x6 and not 8x11 @badgerprop . Let us know if this solves the problem.

 

On the label purchase page first make sure your label options are expanded (text is slightly different from below screenshot - it now says 'switch to advanced shipping'):

When your shipping options are expanded:

If you're using bulk labels:

Re: Shipping label dimensions

Change setting to two labels per print, does it give that option?

Re: Shipping label dimensions

I'm not trying to sound like a smarty pants, but I also use a 4X6 label printer.

I simply change the print setting to 4"X6".

When you go to print a label, the setting should be there.

Re: Shipping label dimensions

Usually in YOUR printer set up.  Mine appears on the screen each time I order something to print so I can adjust it if needed, but I have it set to default to my normal label size.

 

Are you using a dedicated label printer or your regular printer?

You made me remember a little known setting.  I almost forgot about it, but I see that @wastingtime101 supplied you with that information, so I won't repeat it.  But that is exactly where you are likely to be able to fix your printing issue.

You say "On the label purchase page first make sure your label options are expanded (text is slightly different from below screenshot - it now says 'switch to advanced shipping'):"

 

I don't recall ever seeing any such options -- although if such options appeared during setup I would not have know what option to select, 

 

My problem now is that when I need the options they do not exist.
