Misaligned Label Templates – Adjusting Printer Settings

If you notice misalignment that worsens from the center of your sheet outward, check your printer settings:

Ensure the page size is set to A4, not American Letter/Letter.
Avoid any scaling options like 'Fit To' settings or percentages less than 100%. Use 'Actual Size' for PDFs.
Do not select options like 'Ignore Printer Settings' or 'Use Default/Driver Settings'.
Keep your printer drivers up to date to prevent alignment issues.

Always verify printer settings before printing to avoid misalignment issues.
