Recommended Rollo settings
Rollo USB thermal printer for 4x6 shipping labels
Paper size
4 in x 6 in, 6x4 or 100x150mm, matching the loaded label stock
Scale
Actual Size / 100%
Source file
The source page is close to ready. Most remaining risk is paper size, scale or label identification.
First fix
Print one test label, scan the barcode with a phone app, then print live postage only after the preview fills the stock cleanly.
Open Printer preferences, set Paper Size to 4 in x 6 in, confirm scale is 100%, then print one unpaid test label.
Nothing is uploaded or stored. Use this as a pre-print checklist, then print one unpaid test label before a batch.
Rollo 4x6 shipping label paper size and scale
Rollo shipping-label prints go wrong when the PDF page, printer paper preset and physical label stock disagree. For a true 4x6 or 100x150mm shipping label PDF, choose a matching Rollo paper preset and print at Actual Size or 100%.
If the print dialog still says Letter, A4 or a custom size you do not recognise, fix the Rollo paper preset before changing the artwork. If you need to compare page sizes, use the shipping label print scale calculator first.
- Paper size: 4x6 inches, 6x4 inches or 100x150mm.
- Scale: Actual Size or 100% for a label-sized PDF.
- Orientation: portrait unless the preview shows sideways output.
- Calibration: run label identification after changing stock.
Letter, A4 and multi-label PDFs need a crop first
USPS, Royal Mail, eBay, Etsy, Shopify, AusPost and other shipping workflows can give sellers different PDF layouts. Some files are already one 4x6 label per page. Others put the label on a Letter, A4 or multi-label sheet meant for an office printer.
Do not send the whole office-printer page straight to the Rollo queue and hope Fit to page fixes it. Convert the label area into a real 4x6 page with the A4 to 4x6 shipping label converter or check the source file with the shipping label size checker before printing.
Rollo calibration checks before changing the PDF
If the label starts too high, too low, feeds extra blank stock or cuts off one edge, run Rollo automatic label identification before editing the carrier PDF. Calibration teaches the printer where one label ends and the next begins.
Use the thermal printer test label PDF after calibration. It gives you borders, scale marks and barcode checks without risking paid postage.
When LabelChop helps with Rollo shipping labels
This checker is best for one Rollo setup or one confusing PDF. LabelChop is for sellers who keep getting awkward shipping-label PDFs and want the crop, resize and print step handled automatically.
LabelChop watches your Downloads folder, detects supported shipping-label PDFs, crops them to 4x6 / 100x150mm and prints or saves them for your thermal printer. It helps with PDFs from carrier and marketplace workflows after you already have the file.
FAQ
What Rollo settings should I use for 4x6 shipping labels?
Choose a 4x6 inch, 6x4 inch or 100x150mm paper size, print at Actual Size or 100%, and run Rollo label identification after changing stock.
Why is my Rollo shipping label printing too small?
The usual cause is Fit to page, a Letter or A4 paper preset, or sending a full-page carrier PDF directly to the 4x6 thermal printer.
Why is my Rollo label cut off or off centre?
Check the paper size, orientation and label identification first. Cut-off or off-centre output often starts with the wrong stock size or calibration.
Can Rollo print Royal Mail, USPS and marketplace labels?
Yes, when the PDF page and driver paper size match the loaded 4x6 or 100x150mm stock. Awkward A4 or Letter PDFs may need cropping first.
Is LabelChop an official Rollo or carrier integration?
No. LabelChop helps with shipping-label PDFs after you have the file. It is not an official Rollo, USPS, Royal Mail or carrier integration.
Printing Rollo labels every week?
LabelChop automates the crop-and-print step for recurring shipping-label PDFs, so Rollo users do not have to fight the same scale settings every day.
