Dymo 5XL · 4 × 6 in
Print FBA box labels on a Dymo LabelWriter 5XL (4 × 6)
Set the paper size to 4 × 6 in (102 × 152 mm) in the Dymo LabelWriter 5XL driver, print at Scale 100% with margins set to None, and print a page that is exactly one 4 × 6 in label. Stickready turns Amazon’s label PDF into that page in your browser, opens the print dialog at that size, and remembers your printer’s offset after one test label.
The settings
| Setting | Dymo LabelWriter 5XL, 4 × 6 in |
|---|---|
| Paper size | 4 × 6 in (102 × 152 mm) · in the driver: the 4 × 6 in paper (1744907) |
| Scale | 100% (Actual size). Never “Fit to page”. |
| Margins | None |
| Orientation | Portrait |
| Headers and footers | Off |
| Media type | Set by the Dymo paper name |
| Print resolution | 300 dpi, direct thermal |
The 5XL takes genuine Dymo 4 × 6 shipping labels (1744907). Pick “1744907 4 in x 6 in” in the print dialog; Stickready puts each FBA box label on its own 4 × 6 page, and splits a Letter page with two box labels into two.
Set up the Dymo LabelWriter 5XL once
- Add the paper size. Pick the Dymo paper name in the print dialog (for example “30334 Multi-Purpose” or “1744907 4 in x 6 in”), not Letter.
- Teach it the label. No calibration step: the 5XL reads the roll size from the chip in the roll.
- Make the labels. Drop Seller Central’s label PDF into Stickready (any layout, including the 30-up sheet), pick Dymo LabelWriter 5XL and 4 × 6 in, and press Print. The print dialog opens at exactly that page size, at 100%; Download PDF is there too.
- Print one test label and scan it with your phone. If it’s off by a millimeter, measure the two gaps on Stickready’s test label once and it’s fixed for good.
When it goes wrong
Nothing prints, or the light blinks
The Dymo LabelWriter 5XL reads a chip in the roll and only prints on genuine Dymo labels. Third-party rolls are refused, even if the size is right.
The sides are cut off
The page is bigger than the label. Seller Central’s PDF is a Letter page (or a 2.625 in sheet label), and the printer crops whatever doesn’t fit. Use Stickready’s Print button so the page is exactly one 4 × 6 in label, print at Scale 100%, and keep the bars inside a 2 mm margin.
Two labels per sticker, or the label is tiny
The print dialog is shrinking a big page to fit, usually “Fit to page” or “Scale to fit”. Set Scale to 100% (Actual size) and choose the 4 × 6 in paper (1744907) as the paper size, not Letter.
A blank label between every label
The printer thinks the labels are longer than they are: the scale, the margins or the driver’s paper size don’t match. Also check that the paper size in the driver is the 4 × 6 in paper (1744907), not 4 × 6 in, with Margins None.
Everything is shifted a millimeter or two
Every printer feeds a little differently. Print Stickready’s test label (a frame 2 mm inside each edge), measure the left and top gaps, and Stickready moves all future labels by the difference. Saved for this printer.
The barcode won’t scan
Thin bars smeared by heat, or bars squeezed by scaling. Stickready draws every bar as whole printer dots (300 dpi), so check that Scale is 100%, lower the darkness one step if bars look fat, and scan the test label with a phone before the full run.

Questions
What paper size do I pick for 4 × 6 in labels on a Dymo LabelWriter 5XL?
4 × 6 in (102 × 152 mm), called the 4 × 6 in paper (1744907) in the driver. Choose it in the print dialog, with Scale 100% and margins None.
Can I use third-party labels in the Dymo LabelWriter 5XL?
No. The Dymo LabelWriter 5XL reads a chip in the roll and prints only on genuine Dymo labels.
Can I print FBA box labels on 4 × 6 thermal labels?
Yes. Seller Central offers thermal 4 × 6 box labels, and Stickready also cuts box labels out of a Letter page and puts each on its own 4 × 6 page, unchanged. Box labels switch to 4 × 6 automatically.
Do I need special software for the Dymo LabelWriter 5XL?
Only its normal driver. Stickready runs in the browser: its Print button opens your system print dialog at the right page size, and you can also download the PDF and print it from any PDF viewer.
