**How do I set up my printer?**


Postage and labels created with Orange Mailer can be printed on **any printer**. However, for the best experience we recommend using a **Zebra** or other thermal label printer.


 Default Label Size

Orange Mailer defaults to **4" x 6"** labels. You can change the label size in the print settings if needed.


Printing on Regular Paper or Envelopes


If you want to print directly onto a **#10 envelope** using First Class postage:


1. Select **7x3** as the label size.

2. Load your #10 envelope into the printer (usually centered in the paper tray — check your printer manual).

3. In the print dialog, set:

   - **Paper Size** → **Env10** (or #10 Envelope)

   - **Scale** → **Custom 100%**


How to Print Your Label


After generating your label:


1. Hover over the label preview.

2. Click the **printer icon**.

3. In the print window, look for settings under:

   - **Page Sizing**

   - **Page Handling**

   - **Zoom**

   - or **Advanced / Finishing** tabs


Adjust these settings until the label prints correctly on your chosen paper or envelope.


Common Printing Issues & Solutions


**Problem:** Label prints too small or doesn’t fit the page  

**Solution:** Change the setting from “Fit to Page” to **“Actual Size”** or set **Scale to 100%**.


**Problem:** Full page label instead of 4x6  

**Solution:** Change the setting to **“2 per page”** or select the correct **4x6** label size.


**Problem:** #10 envelope printing is misaligned (especially on Canon printers)  

**Solution:** Go into **Advanced Settings → Finishing tab** and **expand the printable area**.  


Reprinting Labels

Don’t worry if something goes wrong — you can **reprint any label** at any time from the **History** page.  

**Important:** Never try to reuse a printed stamp or label, as this is considered mail fraud.
