Some shipping platforms only provide you with a full page (8.5" x 11") document which is for standard laser/ink jet printer. For printing shipping label for label printer, 4x6 label is needed.
While there are many ways to split this page into a 4" x 6" label size, here is our favorite method:
Using Adobe "Take a Snapshot"
- Download Adobe Reader if you do not have it already from the Adobe website.
- Save your label as a PDF file
- Open the file in Adobe Reader
- Rotate the label if needed by going to View -> Rotate View
- Go to Edit -> More - > Take a Snapshot
- Click and drag the box over your label
- Go to File -> Print
- If the preview looks good, click "Print"
