How to print L7162 labels
- Choose Letter (8.5 × 11 in) paper and print at 100% / "Actual size". "Fit to page" shrinks the page and moves every label.
- Use the manual or bypass tray if your printer has one, and load one sheet at a time.
- Check the pack says your printer type: laser labels in a laser printer, inkjet labels in an inkjet.
- Print a test on plain paper first and hold it over a label sheet against a window.
- If everything is shifted the same way, use the printer alignment adjustment to correct it.
Still slightly off? Use the printer alignment test to correct it once for your printer.
If something prints wrong
| What you see | Why | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Every label is shifted the same way | Your printer pulls the sheet in a few millimetres off. This is normal and varies by printer and tray. | Print the alignment test and type the two numbers it shows. The correction is saved for every PDF. |
| The top row is fine but lower rows drift | The page was scaled, usually by "Fit to page" or by printing a Letter page on A4. | Print again at 100% / "Actual size" with the paper size set to Letter. No correction can undo scaling. |
| Text runs off the edge of a label | A line is longer than the label is wide even at the smallest size the tool will use. | Shorten that line, or put the apartment number on its own line. Labels that were cut short are highlighted in the preview. |
| The first labels on the sheet come out blank | "Start at label" is set past 1, which is what you want on a part-used sheet but not on a fresh one. | Set "Start at label" back to 1 for a full sheet. |
| Some rows from the spreadsheet are missing | Those rows are hidden in Excel, or hidden by a filter, and are skipped by default. | Tick "Include hidden rows", or clear the filter in Excel and save the file again. |
| Some names print as question marks | Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hebrew, Thai and Indic scripts cannot be typeset here yet. | Latin, Greek and Cyrillic print as written. For the others, write the name in Latin letters for now. |
| The printer jams or the labels peel off inside | The sheet is the wrong type for the printer, or it has already been through once. | Use laser sheets in a laser printer and inkjet sheets in an inkjet, feed one sheet at a time, and never reuse a part-printed sheet. |

L7162 template questions
Does this template work with Avery J8162, 7162 as well as L7162?
Yes. L7162 and J8162, 7162 are the same sheet sold under different pack numbers: 16 labels of 99.1 × 33.9 mm on US Letter paper. Any of them prints correctly from this template.
How many address lines fit on one L7162 label?
A 99.1 × 33.9 mm label holds about four lines at a comfortable size. Longer addresses are shrunk automatically, down to 6pt, and any label that still does not fit is highlighted in the preview so you can shorten it yourself.
Can I start on a part-used sheet of L7162 labels?
Yes. Set "Start at label" to the first empty position, counting left to right and then down, and the labels before it are left blank. This sheet has 2 labels across and 8 rows.
Why are my L7162 labels printing slightly off?
Almost always one of two things: the PDF was printed with "Fit to page" instead of "Actual size" (100%), or your printer feeds the page a millimetre or two out of position. Print the alignment test once, type the two numbers it shows, and it is applied to every PDF you make in this browser afterwards.
Do I need an account, and is there a limit on how many labels?
No account and no limit. The tool is free, there is nothing to install, and a list of 10,000 rows takes about a second because everything runs inside your browser.
