Shipping labels generated through Smart Send can be printed on all printers. This guide covers setup for both dedicated label printers and standard A4 printers.
Smart Send recommends using shipping labels of the size 102x192mm, as these can be used for all carriers including PostNord, GLS, Bring, DAO, and more. If you only use GLS, labels of the size 100mm x 150mm can also be used.

Buying printer and shipping labels

We highly recommend using a dedicated label printer as this will save you time and money. We suggest buying a Zebra ZD421d with either Ethernet or WiFi connection, so you can print from multiple computers if needed.

Label printer

When printing on a label printer, you only need to configure the correct paper size in the printer settings. The paper size should be set to 102x192mm or 100x150mm depending on the paper you’re using.

Mac setup

The Zebra label printers (GK420d, ZD420d, ZD421d and similar models) are installed on Mac like any other printer. Make sure to select the Zebra ZPL Label Printer driver.

Configure paper size

  1. Open a test label from the top of this page in the Preview app
  2. Select Print
  3. Under Paper Size select “Manage Custom Sizes…”
  4. Press + to add a new size
  5. Specify the custom paper size:
    • Width: 102mm
    • Height: 192mm
    • Non-Printable Area: User defined
    • Top: 0 mm
    • Right: 0 mm
    • Bottom: 0 mm
    • Left: 0 mm
  6. Double-click the paper size to rename it to “102x192mm”
Once configured, simply select that printer when printing shipping labels.

Windows setup

All Zebra label printers must be installed on Windows via the Zebra Setup Utilities. The setup process will prompt for the paper size, which should be set to 102x192mm or 100x150mm. Once the printer is configured, simply select that printer when printing shipping labels.

A4 printer

To print labels on A4 paper, set the print options to 2 pages per sheet and 150% scale. The result will look like this: A4 print example showing two labels per page
If you add/install a copy of your A4 printer and configure the default settings to be 2 pages per sheet, you won’t need to set these values on every print.
