Printing barcode labels on Avery labels

R0bbie — Tue, 10 Aug 2021 12:31:48 GMT

Hi,

I have seen that in order to print out sku barcodes on Avery label paper you can just select it under the 'label type' tab.

The only options available for me are DYMO and Zebra.

Is there something I'm missing?

If you're not using a compatible printer or one that hasn't been attached to your account and device, I don't think you will see the labels you're looking for. Potentially a full exit and restart of the app might help?

I've attached a help article that might hopefully point you in the right direction.

Also, here is a screenshot of what it looked like when I investigated on my end.

I hope this helps!

Hi Jess, thanks for the reply.

I've read through that article and it just assumes that the Avery labels are an option under label type.

Do I need to connect my square POS to a desktop printer in order for the Avery labels to appear?

I would've thought as it's a PDF it is just downloaded and then up to you to print on a printer connected to a computer.

Thanks,

Robbie.

I have recently started and trying to print on Avery labels and it overlaps on two labels. I have to go and cut the one label so it looks presentable on the merchandise. Have others had the same issue and how did you correct it?

Hey there 👋

Here are some helpful tips that our engineers have found help with situations like these:

Browser: Our Engineering Team has seen this issue when creating labels using Safari. Try Chrome.

Scale: Make sure your settings are set to scale at 100%. Disable any setting that would "Fit to print".

Orientation: Try switching printer settings to landscape if it's currently set to portrait.

If these tips are no help in this case I suggest you try getting in touch with our team directly, @JoeM We can work with you to troubleshoot what you're noticing if you reach out by phone!
