The 4x6 forms will later be cut up in stacks into 6 small labels using a paper cutter. Seller Central has a feature to generate barcode labels for sheet labels on laser printers, but using those gets pricey. Also, the bars on laser-printed barcodes can rub or flake off and become unreadable, especially if the label is stuck on a flexible item or bag (laser toner doesn't flex very well). - For printing on thermal label stock, Amazon specifies expensive 300 dpi label printers like the Zebra GX430t. But, with the right barcode software you can use inexpensive 203 dpi workhorse printers like a Zebra 2844 from eBay, such as the one you probably have for printing packing labels. With lower-end printers, it's important to use barcode software that does "grid-fitting" to avoid getting dinged by Amazon for labels that scan poorly. We'll talk more about this at the end of the demonstration. - This demo shows off some Word table formatting tricks. If nothing else, you'll likely improve your Word formatting skills. - This Word template is available at http://onmerge.com/Templates and Tutorials.html under Barcodes, Amazon. - Amazon's specifications are not fussy: .25" blank margin on sides, .125 top/bottom margin. Barcode w/ASIN, Description, Condition. - Here, I'll make labels 1" high and 2.5" wide. I wouldn't go much smaller, but you can go taller & wider. - This demonstration isn't definitive, but we've patterned these labels on Amazon's own labels. A version of this template is regularly used to generate Barcodes for FBA, and Amazon has never rejected them or complained. Nonetheless, your mileage may vary, so... - This demonstration is provided for educational purposes only; we accept no responsibility for using any information or code herein. Printing - Print directly to printer – not pdf or new document – to generate barcodes with the correct resolution for your printer. - You can ask to print as many copies of the page as you like. That's the total number of small labels divided by 6 per page. - When printing, some printer drivers may warn about the paper margins. Ignore them, click Yes to print. - Stack and cut in paper cutter. A binder clip is useful for preventing stacked labels from creeping during cutting. - The template is 4" wide, but the labels are 2-1/2" wide. We don't want to print the notes in the right column, and we cut off the right edge of the page. Important notes - As when rolling out any new technology, it's always best to first roll out a small batch of labels to see if there's a problem at Amazon's end. Once that's OK, it's safer to roll out larger quantities. - Don't assume a barcode is OK just because your smartphone can scan it. High-speed industrial barcode scanners are sometimes picky about quality. - If you must generate a PDF or Word document for printing elsewhere, you must set resolution ACCURATELY in barcode's Resolution setting to ensure barcodes will scan. Resolution depends on the exact printer model, so you'll have to look it up. However, it's best to use the automatic resolution since you may use a different printer one day and forget all about the resolution. For OnMerge Barcodes, you must double-click on each barcode and enter the number under Resolution. For Zebra 2844, it's 203.
