I can't get Avery 4x6 labels to line up vertically when printing.

[cbelva]

When I print Avery 4x6 labels they do not print in the label but about an inch above the center of the labels. I have tried all different kinds of settings with no solution.

        Hello cbelva,

You must use label software to be able to obtain a result. Software that is paid for.

@cbelva 

Apologies for jumping in unannounced.

First, sure - it's possible there is no solution.  Little 4x6 inch labels can be tough to print -- the printer must be clean, the settings must be exactly right, and the paper load must be "just right" (snug, not tight or loose).

According to the specifications, the printer can do this -- there is hope.

@Bernard42is right, at least to the extent, that paid software might make things easier.

There is indeed something to be said for investing in software that is specialized to the task.

In many cases, the setup is handled for you making it only necessary to load the label paper and run the program.

What about "DiY"  (Do it Yourself) label making?

Last I checked, Avery (USA) still supported a free print software for printing your completed templates.

I generally download the Avery Word template I want - design / complete the template > Export to PDF and Print.

Printer - EWS - Tray and Paper

Tell the printer about the paper size / type using the Embedded Web Server (EWS)

Make sure the printer is aware of the paper size / type - Tray and Paper

NOTE

Generally, you might get away with 4x6 inch paper size and paper type "thick paper" (if available).

If nothing really seems to "fit the need", leave the paper type as plain paper and hope for the best.

Printer - Job Configuration

This one is difficult to answer without knowing critical information:

Operating System / Version

and

Printer Software / Applications installed on the device (computer / tablet / phone)

and

Software / Program used to Print the document

It almost sounds like you have selected (in your job configuration Paper size) the "tabbed" 4x6 inch size paper.  What?  Tabbed 4x6 inch paper is actually 4x6.5 inches.  The selection is unlikely since tabbed 4x6 is generally used with photo paper -- it is worth a quick check.

Paper type (as selected in EWS Tray and Paper) and in Properties is important, too. 

What? 

Try to find a paper size / type match that works.  For example, if it shows up in the list of paper sizes, try -- having selected thick or plain paper in EWS -- select paper size  Index 4x6 inch or 4x6 inch
