The problem might simply be a translation error.

In which case:

Export the shipping label document to a PDF file and print the PDF file as in image.

 

Disclaimer:  This answer might be entirely wrong in context.  Laser printers and laser printer applications may preclude the necessity of the printer having to translate the data at all.
