Created by Pedoolo Support, Modified on Wed, 23 Aug, 2023 at 11:19 AM by Pedoolo Support

For Windows:

Go to ‘Settings’-> ‘Devices’-> ‘Printers & Scanners’, ﬁnd the printer ‘BY-482BT’, click ‘Manage’->‘Printing preferences’

(1)Paper size

Choose the corresponding paper size according to the label size. (Generally, most shipping labels are 4”x6”.)

If you can’t ﬁnd your needed size, choose ‘CUSTOM’ and add your customized size.

(2)Print speed and density

Click ‘Parameters’, and you can reset the new print speed and density. (Generally, just keep these default speed and density settings to print.)

NOTE: If the labels printed are light or not clear, you can increase the density properly. But too high density may cause some unwanted dark lines, and the label may get too hot and stick to the printer head.

(3)Print a sample label

Open a PDF ﬁle-> Click ‘Print’ (You can copy the sample label ﬁle from the U-disk to test.)

Select the Printer ‘BY-482BT’-> Click ‘Properties’ to check the setting ‘Paper size’, ‘Print speed’, and ‘Print density’

If the preview looks good, then click ‘Print’.

NOTE:

■ Before printing, please make sure the size of the thermal labels you load is the same as the size settings on devices.

■ If you want to print a Word ﬁle, please transfer it to a PDF ﬁle and then print it to get the best out of print.
