How do you print

[peppers-tree]

How do you print more than one label on a sheet of A4 paper? At the moment I am only able to print one per sheet and wasting so much paper...

[joxamara]

There are two ways I've found to to do this, either copy and paste from the pdf into a word document where you can control the size of the label and get 4 on an A4 page, or change the size in the PDF and get a couple on the page by "double printing"

Option 1

make sure you have a clean word doc open. 

When the label is open in PDF,  click on the edit menu (in the PDF) and choose "take a snapshot"

With left click held down, draw around the label as it appears in the PDF, then let left click go.  You'll get a snapshot.

Now right click anywhere in your word doc and choose paste.  You'll get your label reproduced and you can re-size and move it to wherever you want on the page.

Do this for another 3 labels to get 4 on a page, or do two bigger labels on the page in landscape view.  Print

Option 2

In the print dialogue from the PDF you will see an option "custom size"

I resize to 96% and print the label

Then I turn the paper with the printed label around and use it again printing the next label at 96% at the opposite end of the same page.

THis method only saves half a page, but I use the left over pieces of paper for notes and when there are too many I just rip them up for the compost.

And the custom size is good if you want to print a bigger label - just make the label 130% or whatever works to fill a page.

I tend to use option 2 as it is a cleaner print on my old printer.

Hope this helps

I should have mentioned that my instructions are in response to your original question re how to get more than one ebay postage label onto a page.

If you are meaning Ebay postage labels, we have found an easy way to print 2 labels per page. 

1 Go to Print Ebay label and get it ready to print.

2 Before you hit Print, change option to Landscape (not Portrait). This turns the label on its side.

3 Put the sheet of A4 in the printer just like normal and press print.

4 Once the first label is printed, take the sheet and turn it around, with the printed label facing up at the top end and the sheet of paper now has its blank end inside the printer.

5 Now do your next label, and voila! 2 labels per page.

I know this is not as economical as some other options suggested but is a very easy way to print labels and for me who is a complete clutz and nana on the computer this was the easiest. Also don't feel quite such a paper bandit.
