Use the longest address in your address book to determine the maximum type size that will fit on your labels.
|
|
|
|

Print on to paper first and then hold it up to the light over top of a sheet of labels to confirm alignment.
|
|
|
|
|
Typically not a good idea to run partial sheets through laser printers
