can anyone help please 're royal mail zebra gk430d printer

COOLTRIKERCHICK · 13 April 2017 at 2:37PM

But the bullet and bough the zebra gk420d printer for my royal mail labels etc.

It is prob something really simple but the labels (royal mail and my hermes ones) are coming up tiny on the labels. So how do i adjudt the size so the actual label info fits the label??

And also is there away around it that every address logged into the click and stop doesn't go to document a first?? Do I can print straight .iyswim.

Sorry, I've been away and didn't see this, I know I recommended you buying one so feel a little guilty that you cannot get it to work.

I run mine from an Apple Mac which isn't the same as Windows, but assuming you have set up your Windows preferences for the size you want then you need to calibrate the printer.

Install the labels and hold down the button on the right (which is a squiggle with two dots) keep it held down until the lights flash 7 times. They will flash once, then two times, then three times, then four etc. Don't release your finger until 7 flashes.

The printer will then run a series of tests throwing out about half a dozen labels.

Once that's done it should be fine. If it isn't, then it's your Windows settings.

Let me know how you get on.

I can't help with Click & Drop as I don't use it.

I've just realised your model is 430d (mine is 420d) but I assume it's the same manner to calibrate.

Edit - I've just seen you've got two model numbers. I had a quick google and cannot find a 430d so assume it was a typo in the title.

I'm thinking of going for a Zebra as well as I'm spending a fair bit on paper and ink for a normal printer. I was thinking of going 2 nd hand due to not having much business money at the moment, so might have to have a few ideas of model numbers in hand depending on what I can find.

Any advice or recommendations please, also do the RM supplied labels work with all models or is that something I need to check before I buy.

Buy the GK420d - it will fit the RM free labels, that's what we use.

Soolin I am so glad I bought it. I bought it via royal mail, as the second-hand ones I seen advertised wernt that much cheaper at the time..

Royal mail sent me loads of labels. And you can also configure it to MyHernes too😊

Now that I got it. I wouldn't be without it. Plus long term it will pay for itself. With the free labels. So thanks to the peeps who give me info on it

Yes, to add, we use them for UPS, Hermes and RM labels, but the labels are all from RM, so completely MSE!!

theonlywayisup · 23 May 2017 at 9:18PM

We have a few and all were bought from new, but the oldest is probably 14 years old (zillions of labels printed!).

I'll call RM business line tomorrow and ask them about it, I see from other forums that they often have a special deal on that model. Fingers crossed. ,

Soolin I think I paid about £180 via royal mail.

It took me a while to configure it etc. But that's only because I am not good with stuff like that. But looking back it was really simple really. Went into YouTube to help me sort it .lol..

I have been offered the same deal with them, paperwork is coming out later today and if I want to go ahead I can confirm and my printer will be sent . I am a bit worried about it being techie, but I'll probably you tube it like you!

It took me a while though to get hold of someone to help. I phoned the business number and can only assume that a cleaner or member of the public answered the phone as a dare. The chap spoke so badly, mumbly and slow that I could barely make him out, at one point I thought he had got so bored he had nodded of. He was curt and rude, told me RM dealt with post not hardware and why on earth did I phone them, then he nodded off for a while , yawned and transferred me as I was arguing with him and he kept saying if I didn't want to tape my paper labels to a parcel I should just buy stamps instead! Unfortunately he transferred me to the shop, despite me trying to convince him not to, the shop thought it was funny and transferred me back again and luckily I got some who was absolutely brilliant and has arranged it all for me.
