How to test print on a Zebra printer

Do this in the free app: Open https://app.mylabelmaker.com. No signup. Design the label, then print on a Zebra or download PNG, PDF, or ZPL.

Before you reprint 200 FNSKUs, prove the printer. Print the printer's own config label, confirm size and DPI, then send one label from the editor. Open the free label maker to start.

Good to know: A config label that looks good and a job that does not usually means the job size is wrong, not a dead printhead.

How to test print on a Zebra

  1. Print the printer's own config label (hold the feed button; it is model-specific).
  2. Open https://app.mylabelmaker.com. No signup. Match the size and DPI you just confirmed.
  3. Send quantity 1 of your real design.
  4. Scan the barcode on that test. Then print the stack.

Checklist

If config works but the editor cannot send

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

Print or save

If you have a Zebra, print from this computer with Browser Print. Match the printer's DPI. Everyone else: download PNG, JPEG, SVG, PDF, or ZPL. Keep the JSON if you want to edit this later.
