Troubleshoot printing labels on a desktop printer

1. On the File menu, click Page Setup.
2. Click the Layout tab.
3. Do one of the following:

   Use Avery labels

   • Under Page size, select the label you want.

   Use a type of label other than Avery

   1. Under Page size, select an Avery label that is similar to the non-Avery label you are using. For example, if you are using a label sheet that has 3 columns of 10 labels per column, select an Avery label that has the same number of columns and labels such as Avery 5160-Address.
   2. Under Printing options, click Adjust Label Printing.
   3. In the Label name box, type a name.
   4. Type the values you want for Side Margin, Top Margin, Horizontal Gap, and Vertical Gap. The preview will show how your labels will print.
   5. Click OK. The custom label will appear in the Page size list.
4. If you’re using manual feed, click the Printing & Paper tab, then click Manual feed in the Source box.

   Note  The exact option for manual feed depends on the printer you are using. Some printers may have manual feed selections that appear differently, such as Manual Paper Feed or Upper Page Tray.

5. If there are additional options that your printer documentation specifies for labels, click Properties, select the options you want, and then click OK.

Note  The Adjust Label Printing button only appears in the Print dialog box if Microsoft Publisher can fit more than one page (or copy) on a sheet of the paper you're printing on.
