Printer Setup for Roll Label

Printer Setup for Roll Label

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

    In BarcodeMan, select products and click Generate labels.
    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.
