After creating your roll label template, configure your browser’s print dialog to match.
Print dialog settings
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Paper size | Match your label exactly (e.g., 57mm × 32mm) |
| Scale | 100% or “Actual size” — never “Fit to page” |
| Margins | None |
| Orientation | Match your template (Portrait or Landscape) |
Steps
- Generate and open your PDF using the steps for your BarcodeMan interface.
- The PDF opens in your browser. Press Ctrl+P (Windows) or Cmd+P (Mac).
- Select your roll label printer.
- Set Paper size to your exact label dimensions. If your size isn’t listed, create a custom paper size in your printer driver first.
- Set Scale to 100%, Margins to None.
- Print.
Custom paper size
If your label size doesn’t appear in the paper size dropdown:
- Mac: In the print dialog, click the paper size dropdown → Manage Custom Sizes → add your label dimensions.
- Windows: Open Printer Preferences from Control Panel → find paper size or form settings → add a custom size.
Common issues
- Labels too small or too big → Scale is not 100%.
- Labels offset → Paper size in print dialog doesn’t match actual paper.
- Blank output → Printer is set to the wrong media type. For thermal printers, check that the roll is loaded correctly and the sensor detects the label gap.
