Paper Size and Printing Tips for Name Badges 74520

These name badges are not on an 8 1/2 x 11" sheet. You will need to change the paper size to 4.25 x 11" in your printer settings before printing.  While each printer has a different method for this, here are some general steps:

After you click Print, the Paper Size setting may appear in your printer dialog box, or you may need to look for the Properties or Preferences  tab or button to see to this menu.  Also, look for paper or media type, and change it from Plain Paper to Heavyweight or Cardstock. You can also choose Photo if none of these settings are available on your printer.

You need your printer to hold the products snugly. Gently slide the paper guide on your printer feed over to the 4.25" width position.  If your printer has a special tray for envelopes, you may be able to use that instead. 


We recommend you cut a sheet of paper to the same size as the Avery sheet, and do a test print to be sure your settings and alignment are correct.


If none of these settings are available, or you have trouble finding them, we would suggest contacting the printer manufacturer for further assistance.
