Is printing your own labels cheaper?

If you need to print batches of address labels—or shipping labels, if you’re running a business—it’s almost certainly less expensive to print them yourself. If you don’t have a printer, don’t want to buy one, and only need to print out a few labels, you’re better off going to a print shop or using a friend’s printer.

How to set the label gap to the printer?

Go to ‘Menu’ key > ‘Print Control’ > ‘Present Distance’. Increasing the current value will increment the distance where the GAP or Black Mark stops. Decreasing the value will make the GAP or Black stop closer to the printer. Save the new setting.
