Printer labels do not line up with document as typed in Word using the Avery set label size. I type labels for Christmas cards. Previous years have had no trouble at all on other printers but now top of page is OK but half way down the labels are then out of lignment. My printer is an HP C4180 all-in-one.

Go to 'mailings'
labels
click on options
select Product #
click OK
type label info
click on new document
You should now see a full page of labels

try going to driver printing preferences /paper or paper/quality tab and set your size for custom and to the 4 x 6 specific size for that sheet and the type as labels for tray 1.

Hello,
check and see if the paper size from the document and the printer are the same with the label sheet.

You will need to feed these through the manual tray and you should set the paper size and type to match this label. The avery site shows this as an A4 label sheet. If you are in North America the default on this printer is letter size not A4.You should also ensure that you have configured the print driver correctly when you go to print.

This can be done with settings through your word processing program. Assuming you are using Word:

Microsoft Word 2007

Ok remove tray 2, and in back its got a little clicking adjustable lever that you need to move so it lines up with letter 8.5 x 11...this worked for me

If you are using the Avery Wizard, it has a template for the 5201 labels. You can download the free software from www.avery.com.

Hope this help, pls rate as fixya if this helps. Thanks!

To reset the size in your printer to the correct A4 size, do this:
Go to your Applications folder on your hard drive. 
In it, you will find a Utilities folder. 
Inside that folder, you will find a folder called "Printer Setup Utility."
Inside THAT folder, you will find a list of printers you have connected to your Mac. 
Click on one. You will see, at the top of your screen, a set of menus. Click on the "Printer Setup Utility" menu at the far left. 
Choose "Preferences" from the drop-down list. 
You will see a dialog box with three options: Printing, Sharing, and Faxing. If Printing is not automatically displayed, click on the Printing tab. 
At the bottom of the Printing dialog box, you will see another pull-down menu: "Default paper size in page setup"
Choose A4, or whatever size you wish. 
Close up all the boxes, and print your labels to your heart's content. 
When you're done with your labels, don't forget to repeat this process to switch your printer back to your ordinary size paper. 
Hope this helps.
