Step 2 : Go to ‘Print’ & Your Print Settings

You can get to your Printer settings in a few different ways:

• Click the Right button on your mouse and select Print, or
• Click on the Print icon

Step 3 : Select ‘Actual Size’

• When your Print settings window is open, scroll down to the section that relates to ‘Scale’ or ‘Size Options’. (The words used to describe this section vary, depending on what program you use to print your labels).
• Print Settings normally default to the ‘Fit to Page’ option. We want to change this. When you’re printing mailing labels from a PDF file, you need to change the Scale to ‘Actual Size’.
