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’.
  • After you change the print Scale to ‘Actual Size’, your mailing labels will align properly and print out perfectly.
