The actual question people ask

Before you reprint 200 FNSKUs, prove the printer. Print the printer’s own config/self-test, confirm size and DPI, then send one label from the editor. Open the free maker · label maker hub.

Honest scope: A config label that looks good and a job that does not usually means the job size is wrong — not a dead head.

Steps that match the query

Browser Print test

If config works but the editor cannot send, fix the helper (Chrome allow, localhost 9101) before you redesign.

Batch from Excel or Google Sheets

Map column tokens into text, barcodes, or QR. Paste CSV, upload a file, or load a published Google Sheet. Preview rows, then print quantity 1 before the stack. Guide: mail merge · CSV mail merge.

Print or export

Zebra thermal: Browser Print at the printer’s DPI. Everyone else: Options → PNG, JPEG, SVG, PDF, or ZPL. JSON saves the editable master.
