Get shipping labels printing cleanly
A troubleshooting sequence for label size, scaling, media, drivers and scan quality.
Start with the decisions that matter
Remove scaling surprises
Print one test at the intended size and inspect whether edges or barcodes are clipped.
Read this step →Separate media from device problems
Confirm the device supports the installed media and printing method.
Read this step →A concrete example
