How Do I Print Labels from a HawkPrint Device?


Guidelines for Printing Labels:

  • Use labels designed for laser printing.
  • Do not use vinyl labels.
  • Do not feed a sheet of labels through the printer more than once.
  • Do not use dry gum labels.
  • Print only on one side of the sheet of labels. Use full sheet labels only.
  • Store unused labels flat in their original packaging. Leave the sheets of labels inside the original packaging until ready to use.
  • Return any unused sheets of labels to the original packaging and reseal it.
  • Do not store labels in extremely dry or humid conditions or extremely hot or cold conditions.
  • Storing them in extreme conditions can cause print quality problems or cause them to jam in the printer.
  • Rotate stock frequently. Long periods of storage in extreme conditions can cause labels to curl and jam in the printer.

    NOTE: Remove all other paper from the tray before loading labels.
    CAUTION: Do not use any sheet where labels are missing, curled, or pulled away from the backing sheet. It could damage the printer.

For Microsoft Windows:
1. Select [File], [Print], and then [Properties] or [Printing Preferences].
2. Click on the [Printing Options] tab.
3. Click on the [Paper] menu.
4. Select [Other Type], and then select [Labels].

NOTE: In certain applications, you may be required to make an additional change within the application you are trying to print from. 

We'll use Microsoft Word as an example.

  1. Once you have selected Print, and HawkPrint is the selected printer, you'll need to click "Page Setup" near the bottom (screenshot below):
    Word_labels

     
  2. From the Page Setup window that opens, click on the "Paper" tab.
  3. Next, under "Paper Source", first select "Labels" in the "First page:" section.
  4. Next, under the "Other pages:", select "Labels" from the list.
  5. Click "OK".  (screenshot below):

  6. Remember that you may need to update these settings if you're not printing labels. 


For macOS:
1. Select the File menu, then Print.
2. Click the third pop-up menu, then select Xerox Features.


3. In the section below, click Paper, Other Type, then Labels. If you have 2-sided printing enabled, you'll see a message recommending you disable that for this print job. Click Continue.

4. Your settings should look something like this:


5. Click on the Print button to send the job to the printer.
