can anyone help please 're royal mail zebra gk430d printer

celestius

I paid £150 + VAT last year via Royal Mail, and recently sold it again for £150 (as I am running my Ebay business down).
Highly recommend getting one for anyone who has a serious shop!

Well it's here and all installed, but I'm struggling to print proper labels. I suspect this is entirely user issues as my labels have always been funny, in that I have never been able to change them from a one per page format with all the details at top of page and the label on the second part of page. I can print them on the Zebra but once again I get all the written info and then a tiny label filling the second part of the page.

My Click and drop have always bene like this, I've never found how to change the format and have always printed a page per label, cut out the label, saved the other details (I have no idea why) and throw all the rest of the paper in the recycling.

I need to go and work out where I need to change things.

UPDATE: I've done it! My first label has printed- this is brilliant!

BRILLIANT!!!!

With MyHernes you need to change the label size etc on their page.

I know it's a big financial investment just to print labels. But once you start using it life is alot easier. And with the free labels it will be worth it. I have also read the thermal bar thingy on average will need changing after about 2 years??

Excellent. No looking back now. If you need to change label sizes, use the 7 flashes, as per my post at 2. You don't need to change anything else, yes it wastes a few labels in trying to sync, but it's the easiest way. Welcome to 2017!!

I wish I'd done this years ago, it's brilliant .

I'm thinking of getting one of these printers. I currently have an online business account and put my ppi labels on my post, but want to use the barcoded labels that show when delivered


Do I need to use one if these printers and a completely different Royal Mail account, and if so, is it easy to use ?

He will talk you through it and add the click and drop option to your OBA.

He will remnant the zebra printer. Which I was very hesitant about. But it's brilliant .it works out around the £180 Mark including the vat

You could also ask them to add DMO to your online business account and use that.

This ^

If you are going to use a Zebra and already have OBA, get them to open you a DMO (dispatch manager online) account. It will be much better for you.
