How to Print Amazon Shipping Labels Using a GoDEX Printer

Why Use a GoDEX Printer for Amazon Shipping

GoDEX printers are designed for fast, high-precision label printing — perfect for Amazon sellers managing dozens or hundreds of daily orders. Unlike inkjet printers, they use heat-based Direct Thermal or Thermal Transfer technology, meaning no ink, toner, or smudging.

• ✅ Prints standard 4"×6" Amazon shipping labels
• ✅ Compatible with Amazon Seller Central, Buy Shipping, ShipStation, and Shopify
• ✅ Free GoLabel software for label customization and driver setup
• ✅ 3-Year Warranty through McAuley Labels

Before You Start

Make sure you have:

• Your GoDEX printer (RT, DT, or ZX model)
• 4×6" Direct Thermal labels (gap type)
• USB or network connection to your computer
• Access to Amazon Seller Central

Step 1 – Install GoLabel Software and Drivers

GoLabel is the official design and driver software for all GoDEX printers.

1. Download and install GoLabel from McAuley Labels.
2. Connect your printer via USB or network cable.
3. Open GoLabel → File → Printer Setup and confirm your model appears (e.g., “GoDEX RT700i+”).

Tip: If Windows asks for drivers, allow GoLabel to install them automatically.

Step 2 – Calibrate the Printer

Calibration ensures that each label starts printing at the correct position.

• Hold the Feed button until the LED flashes, then release.
• The printer will advance several labels and stop precisely at the next one.
• In GoLabel, you can also go to Printer Tools → Auto Calibration.

Step 3 – Download Your Amazon Shipping Label

In Amazon Seller Central, go to Orders → Manage Orders. Choose the order, click Buy Shipping, and select your carrier (UPS, FedEx, USPS, etc.). When prompted, choose the 4×6" label format (thermal). Download the PDF file to your computer.

Step 4 – Print the Label Using GoLabel or Windows

You can print your Amazon labels in two easy ways:

• Option 1 – Direct from Amazon: Open the downloaded PDF, click Print, select your GoDEX printer, and set Paper Size = 4x6".
• Option 2 – Through GoLabel: Import the PDF or design a quick layout using a 4×6" template. Adjust margins if needed and click Print.

Always verify the label is aligned to the top edge and the barcode is clear and scannable.

Step 5 – Test and Adjust Settings

If your print is faint or off-center:

• Increase Darkness (heat) by 10–15% in GoLabel or driver preferences.
• Ensure Gap Sensor is selected (not Black Mark).
• Run Auto Calibration again if labels skip or overlap.

Common Issues (and How to Fix Them)

• Blank labels printing: Labels are upside down or ribbon mode is on. Reload media, disable ribbon for Direct Thermal.
• Labels misaligned: Run auto-calibration and match label size in printer preferences.
• Barcode blurry: Lower print speed to 3–4 ips and clean the print head.
• Printer not recognized: Reinstall GoLabel drivers and reconnect USB.

Pro Tips for Amazon Sellers

• Use 4×6" thermal labels for FBA and FBM shipments.
• Keep label rolls dust-free for better sensor accuracy.
• Print directly after generating your label to avoid scaling issues.
• Use McAuley Labels premium rolls for jam-free performance and free shipping.

FAQ – Printing Amazon Labels with GoDEX

What label size should I select on Amazon?

Always choose 4×6 inches (thermal) — this is the standard for all major carriers.

Can I print both shipping and FNSKU labels?

Yes. GoDEX printers handle both types. Use 4×6" rolls for shipping and smaller 2×1" rolls for FNSKU or inventory stickers.

Do I need special labels for Amazon?

No — GoDEX printers work with standard thermal labels. McAuley Labels offers compatible rolls with free shipping.

Can I print directly from Amazon Seller Central? 

Yes. Choose the thermal option when generating labels, download the PDF, and print directly to your GoDEX printer.

My labels are printing too small or cut off. What should I do?

Check that your paper size is set to 4×6" and scaling is 100%. Avoid “Fit to Page.”
