More than one printer
Section titled “More than one printer”The bar at the top of Setup shows Main printer. Click + Add printer to add another, with its own label size and settings. Each added printer has a Name field and a Remove this printer button. With more than one printer, What prints shows a Prints on list for each kind of sale.
Where your settings live
Section titled “Where your settings live”The app saves your settings in your Label Station folder, so they are still there next time. Deleting the settings file puts every setting back to its default. See What stays on your computer.
If something looks different
Section titled “If something looks different”- A field is missing from Calibration. With the driver language, darkness, speed and gap come from the printer’s own driver, so those fields are hidden.
- A change does not seem to apply. It applies to the next label, not one already printed. Print a test label to check.
- A field will not take the number you typed. Each field has a range, shown in its name or limits, such as Darkness (0–15).
