Whether you're tidying up your record-keeping, organizing your business, or simply wanting to spruce up your gifts with personalized labels, Avery labels are your go-to solution. But how can you print them directly from your iPhone? Let's dive into a step-by-step guide to make this task a breeze.
To start with, you need to have Avery labels and a compatible printer. Avery offers a range of label sizes and styles to fit various printers. For this guide, we'll be using a wireless printer that supports AirPrint, making it easy to print from your iPhone.
Preparing Your Avery Labels
The first step involves setting up your Avery labels for printing. Here's how:
1. Check your label package for the type and size of your labels. You'll need this information to choose the correct template in the next step.
Downloading Avery Design & Print Software
While you can print directly from the Avery website using your iPhone's browser, downloading the Avery Design & Print software enhances your user experience and offers more templates to choose from. Here's how to do it:
1. Visit the App Store on your iPhone and search for 'Avery Design & Print'.
2. Tap 'Get' and follow the prompts to download and install the app.
Finding the Correct Template
Now that the app is installed, let's find the right template for your labels:
1. Open the Avery Design & Print app and tap on 'Create New'.
2. Select 'Labels & Stickers' from the list of categories.
3. Use the search bar or scroll through the categories to find your label type (e.g., Avery 5160 for standard business return address labels, or Avery 8160 for address labels with a window).
Designing Your Labels
After selecting the correct template, it's time to design your labels:
1. Choose from a range of designs, themes, and color schemes to customize your labels. You can also add your own text, logos, or images.
Adding Text
Avery Design & Print allows you to add and edit text easily. Here's how:
1. Tap on the existing text box to highlight it. You can then delete or edit the current text.
2. Use the on-screen keyboard to type in your desired text. You can also adjust font size, style, and color using the formatting tools at the top of the screen.
Adding Images or Logos
To make your labels truly unique, add your own images or logos:
1. Tap on the '+' icon at the bottom of the screen.
2. Select 'Image' and choose from your iPhone's photo library or take a new photo to add to your label.
Printing Your Avery Labels
Once you're satisfied with your label design, it's time to print:
Connecting to Your Printer
Printing from your iPhone is straightforward with AirPrint-enabled printers:
1. Make sure your printer is turned on and connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iPhone.
2. In the Avery Design & Print app, tap on the 'Share' icon (represented by a box with an arrow pointing up).
3. Select 'Print' from the list of sharing options.
Confirming and Printing
Finally, confirm your print job and send it to your printer:
1. In the 'Print' screen, ensure the correct printer is selected. If your printer appears in the list, tap on it. If not, tap on 'select printer' at the top of the screen to browse and choose your printer.
2. After selecting your printer, adjust the number of copies (if needed) and then tap on 'Print' in the top-right corner to send your print job to your printer.
