Phomemo PM-241 Bluetooth version

Some shipping platforms only provide you with a full page (8.5" x 11") document. 

Frequently, they use half of the page for the shipping label and the other half for receipt or packing slip.

While there are many ways to split this page into a 4" x 6" label size, here is our favorite method:

1."Take a Snapshot" 

Please see this article for Cropping a 8.5 x 11 pages to a 4 x 6 label (4-1-2.Label Adjustments - Cropping a full size 8.5 x 11 page to a 4 x 6 label)

2."Crop pages" -> Remove White Margins

Download Acrobat Pro (need to pay) for "Crop pages" and also "Take a Snapshot" 

if you do not have it already from Adobe website (https://get.adobe.com).

2."Crop pages" 

①Save your label as a PDF file

For Mac:

②Open the file in Adobe Acrobat Pro

③Go to "Edit" -> "Edit Text & Images" -> "Crop Pages" -> Double click white margins

⑥Select Printer -> Click "Page Setup..."

Click "Printer..." -> "Show Details" -> Select "Printer Features" in "Preview"

⑧You can set up printer properties, such as "Media Tracking", "Darkness" and "Print speed". 

(Larger number means higher Darkness) 

⑨Preview, check the print size and Orientation. If preview looks good, click "Print"

(Larger number means higher Darkness) 

⑪Preview, check the print size and Orientation. If preview looks good, click "Print"

Note: If you are shipping more than a few labels, you would benefit from using a commercial solution that create 4 x 6 labels in one-click. See this article: How do I generate labels?(1-4.Printing Label - Printing Label - How do I generate shipping labels)
