Driver configuration
Exact 4x6 driver settings for crisp barcodes
Apply these settings in Windows Printing Preferences to prevent barcode scanning failures and skipped labels.
| Setting | Use | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Paper / stock size | 4 × 6 in (100 × 150 mm) | Must match the label roll, otherwise the printer stretches or skips labels |
| Scale | 100% / Actual size | “Fit to page” shrinks the label and softens the barcode |
| Margins | None / 0 | The PDF from Label Crop AI already has the right margins |
| Orientation | Portrait | Wide labels are already rotated to fit the roll when Auto-rotate is on |
| Media type | Labels with gaps (die-cut) | Lets the sensor find the gap between stickers so each print starts on a new label |
| Darkness | Start mid-range, raise one step at a time | Too light gives broken bars; too dark makes bars bleed together |
| Print speed | A slower setting | Slower printing gives crisper barcodes on almost every thermal printer |
| Page size / Stock | 100 × 150 mm or 4 × 6 in | Must match thermal roll dimensions precisely |
| Dithering / Halftone | None or Error Diffusion | Ensures barcodes have crisp solid black bars rather than dotted patterns |
Troubleshooting
Fixing common Flipkart thermal printing issues
Most printing errors come from driver mismatches or uncropped A4 pages rather than physical hardware defects.
- Faint barcode / scanning fails: Set scale to 100% (never "Fit to page") and raise printer darkness by 1–2 points.
- Printer skips a blank sticker: Calibrate the label gap sensor by holding the feed button or via the diagnostic utility.
- Label prints sideways or tiny: The full A4 page was sent uncropped. Crop the PDF above so only the label is printed.
- Tax invoice prints on thermal roll: Select "Labels only" in Label Crop AI to strip out the tax invoice automatically.
