Printing demonstration labels (test data)
This feature lets you preview and print labels using test data, without affecting any live orders or real customer information.
Printing demonstration labels is highly recommended when setting up for the first time, before your first service day, or after changing printers or printer settings.

Label format options
When choosing a label format, consider:
How many items you need to pack
The size and layout of your label sheets
Some formats display more labels per page with less detail, while others display fewer labels per page with additional information.
You can use demonstration labels to preview each format and decide which works best for your setup before printing live labels.
