Jackrabbit can help you quickly print labels for a group of students and mailing labels for families. In addition, Jackrabbit can help you easily print labels for costume bags to make your costume handout process even smoother. But how is that helpful if your labels aren’t printing with the correct alignment?
All labels produced by Jackrabbit are formatted to a PDF file. Most browsers have a built-in PDF viewer with their own scaling parameters. A browser is not a dedicated PDF reader; however, It’s a nice feature to have. The browser settings, your printer, and what you have set as your default PDF viewer affect how the labels print.
Things can and do go wrong!
Safari Browser
According to Avery Design & Print Online, Apple’s Safari browser does not print accurately. Your best option is to save the labels and open them in Adobe Acrobat Reader prior to printing or try another browser.
Chrome & Firefox Browsers
You can usually find Advanced Settings after hitting the Print button to find the field referring to scaling/fit to page if it does not show up immediately when using Chrome or Firefox. Turn this setting to 100% or off, depending on your options (it is different than the "Actual Size" setting). Here is an example when using Chrome:
Adobe Acrobat Reader Users
When opening the file directly in Adobe Acrobat Reader (instead of a browser), you should use the Properties button beside the printer name and select the Advanced tab to get to the Scaling fields.
Note that Adobe continues to update their software. Always check your settings to ensure they are where you need them!
