Print Amazon Shipping Labels to a 4-inch Thermal Printer
We recently finished a small project for a client who was experiencing a problem in trying to print Amazon 2-page up pre-paid shipping labels to a 4-inch thermal printer. While our client was able to use a laser printer to print the shipping labels, he informed us that using a thermal printer was more expedient and cost effective due to virtually no print stock waste and not having to replace consumables such as ink cartridges and toner. Plus there was also the added benefit of not having to worry about ink smears during shipment due to handling or inclement weather.
In retrospect, this appeared to be a good idea yet there was just one drawback which has to do with the way Amazon uses a PDF to provide shipping labels for their sellers. To begin, the labels are 2-page up in PDF format whereby Amazon apparently assumes everyone is using a laser or an ink jet printer for printing labels on 8-1/2x11 media. This probably also explains why Amazon decided to activate the Print Window upon opening the PDF form in that those using a laser or ink jet printer can simply change their print settings and they're good to go. The problem is that the PDF in it's present state does not lend itself to printing these labels to a 4-inch thermal printer.
In order to print Amazon shipping labels to a thermal printer, we realized something had to be done with the Amazon PDF form to accommodate the printer. We also wanted to automate this task along with printing the labels once the PDF form was open inside Acrobat. With the exception of a Print Window that pops up when the form first opens—an Amazon undoing that only serves those using laser or ink jet printers—low and behold, we were eventually able to provide our client with the solution he was looking for whereby he is now able to print 2-page up UPS/FBA shipping labels to a Zebra ZM400 thermal printer in just one click for less than 2-cents a label. How's that for cost saving efficiency?
