- Ensure you have installed the driver software successfully follow our steps. 


- If you have re-installed the driver software, be sure to print to the same active printer name when printing. Like WU550 Printer(copy1), (copy2),...


- If you use multiple routers/networks, ensure your device is on the same network with the printer when you printing the labels. Like if you have use network 1 to configure to printer but your device is on network 2, then it is wrong.


- If you did the WPS way to connect to Wi-Fi, since a few WPS routers may encrypt the Wi-Fi password, when you restart the printer, the printer cannot automatically obtain the router password and it will not connect to Wi-Fi. For this reason, use Method ONE to connect to Wi-Fi and install the driver software again.


- The printer Wi-Fi configuration will change due to a new network environment. If your network changed, re-connect to the new network and re-install the driver software.

7.Printer printing side -ways/tiny/cut-off

Answer

- The most possible reason is that your label page with 8.5x11'', not 4x6''.

If you are printing 4x6" from these platforms like Amazon, eBay, Shopify, Paypal, Poshmark, Pirate Ship, Shipstation, Shippo... change your label size setting to 4 x 6 before you print. If you cannot figure it out, contact customer support or search related video from YouTube for reference, thank you.

By default, Some platforms produce labels in an 8.5 x 11 size at present which won't fit 4x6'' correctly.  Like USPS, UPS, Mercari ...  

If you print a few per day, we recommend our customers crop the label.

Like a USPS label from USPS website, choose PDF instead of Print Label > open with Adobe Reader > Choose Edit > Take a Snapshot > Select/Highlight the label's area > Right click in the highlighted area and select Print (choose 4x6'' as paper size), then it will be printed perfectly.

If you are printing many per day, we recommend our customers use shipping platforms like Shippo, Pirates Ship...you can print 4x6'' label directly and get discounted shipping cost.














Make sure that loaded label, label page and printer settings are all the same size. Like if your shipping label page with 8.5x11'' and you use 4x6'' label for printing, it will print incorrectly. 

On Windows: 
Go to the Control Panel > Devices and Printers > Right click on WU550 Printer or BU820 Printer > Printer Preferences > pls choose 

paper size or go to Start menu > Settings > Devices > Printers and scanners >  WU550 Printer or BU820 Printer > Manage >

Printer Preferences to set up size or other settings.

 On Mac:
Access these settings directly from the print menu and choose paper size.


Make sure the paper guides are flush against the label with no gap.


Learn about the label when it won't auto detect the label size: 

Press and hold the top paper feeder button until you hear one beep and then release.







7.For Windows users, Rekdom supply free LabelDesigner software for creating customized labels.

Answer

household or commercial usage.

8.Label is getting stuck/ making loud noise

Answer

- Open printer cover to check if anything is stuck on. Remove it and clean.

     Try to always wipe down the print head when you switch labels so the stickers don't get stuck when printing.


- Set your print speed to "5" and density to "4" and try your print again.


- Pls help to do the Restore factory setting and Lack paper learn setting via TOOL software. You can find the detailed instructions from our website.



9.My labels are not sharp

Answer

- REKDOM printer with direct thermal technology and its printing quality not as good as laser/inkjet printer. All thermal label printers with 203DPI resolution are the same.


- Printing quality of the label depends on the label manufacturer. Avoid poor quality labels as they can have bad printing performance.


- Ensure your label page content takes up the whole label. If there are extra borders, your design may be "shrunk" printed in a smaller size resulting in bad content.


- Open printer to check if anything is stuck on. Remove it and clean. Regularly clean print head and rubber roller.


- For Windows users, please open the label with Adobe Reader and pls select " print as image" under "advanced" option. The printing effect will be better.


- If you print PDF file, pls try to open the file by Adobe reader, the printing effect will be better. 


- Pls always download the latest driver software of the printer from our website for the best result.
