Printer label settings

TIP!

To reset the changed settings to their defaults, click on the Default button.

The label settings are discussed below.

General

In this section, you define the overall layout and text display:

• Columns: number of printer labels across the width per sheet. (The label width adjusts automatically here.)
• Rows: number of labels per sheet vertically. (The label height adjusts automatically here.)
• Hide country: Check this box if you want to omit the country name (for example, when almost all contacts live or are located within the same country).
• Select only complete addresses: Filters automatically. Only contacts for whom the Name, Address, ZIP Code, and City fields are complete will be selected.
• Font (and size): choose the desired font and size for the address.
• Font style: select the text color and formatting (Normal, Bold, Italic, or Bold & Italic).

Screen preview

On the right-hand side, the Screen preview shows in real time what a printer label will look like based on your current selections and formatting settings.

Advanced (dimensions and margins)

By default, all calculations are based on an A4-sized label sheet. You can manually override the automatically calculated values:

• Top margin (mm): distance from the top edge of the sheet to the start of the first printer label.
• Indent right (mm): distance from the right edge to the text (excluding the side margin).
• Indent left (mm): distance from the left edge to the text (excluding the left margin).
• Label width (mm): exact width of a single printer label in millimeters.
• Label height (mm): exact height of a single printer label in millimeters.
• Column spacing: horizontal spacing between printer labels (default: 2 mm; set to 0 mm if printer labels are adjacent).
• Label spacing: vertical spacing between rows of printer labels (default: 0 mm; adjust if there is a gap between rows).
  
  

Set starting position

Start printing on printer label: Are you using a partially used sheet of printer labels? Click on the desired position on the grid to indicate which printer label the printer should start from. The selected addresses will be printed sequentially starting from that position.

Next step

Once all settings are correct, proceed to Step 2: Select contacts.
