Printing

TCGeezee prints the way you actually ship — from a 4×6 thermal sticker to postage printed straight on the envelope. Browser printing works with zero setup; the free QZ Tray helper makes it silent.

1

Know the formats

Five ways a label (and slip) can come out of your printer. Set your default in the gear → Label Printing.

Thermal 4×6
label, or label + a slip designed for 4×6 (long orders flow to extra pages)
Z-fold sheet
one pressure-seal sheet: label top, slip below — fold, press, mail
Fold-over mailer
printed two-sided: slip inside, postage out; glue flap on top
On the envelope
feed the PWE through your printer — postage prints right on it
Standard
label on plain paper, slip as its own page
THE FIVE FORMATS — PURPLE = WHERE THE POSTAGE LABEL LANDS

Switch per order or per batch

Every order page has a “Print format” select, remembered for that order and used by its reprints. A batch import has its own batch-level format select. Neither ever rewrites your gear default — the same per-order-only philosophy as recipe edits.

PRINT FORMAT · THIS ORDER
Fold-over mailer — slip inside, postage out⌄
Remembered for DEMO-4821 only · default unchanged
THE PER-ORDER SWITCHER — DRIVES BUY-AND-PRINT AND EVERY REPRINT OF THAT ORDER

Format rules (optional)

Under “Advanced: format rules” in the gear, a standing rule assigns formats by package kind — letters one way, parcels another (say, letters → fold-over, parcels → thermal) — plus per-recipe overrides for the exceptions. Precedence, most specific first: per-order choice → batch choice → recipe override → kind rule → gear default.

FORMAT RULES
Letters (envelopes)Fold-over mailer
Parcels (everything else)Thermal 4×6
Recipe: “Jumbo cards”Thermal 4×6
KIND RULES + RECIPE OVERRIDES — BATCH ROWS RESOLVE AUTOMATICALLY

Calibrate the composed formats

Z-fold, fold-over, and on-envelope printing each have a calibration panel: nudge the label zone, print a plain-paper test, and hold it over a real sheet to check the geometry. Then verify the first real sheet scans — barcode size tolerance is tight, and the calibration screen reminds you.

Z-FOLD CALIBRATION
Label top  0.0″  −/+ Zoom  100%  −/+ Rotate: Auto
Print plain-paper testFold guides on
Verify your first real sheet scans at the counter before trusting a full run.
CALIBRATION — TEST ON PLAIN PAPER FIRST, THEN ONE REAL SHEET

Go silent with QZ Tray (optional)

QZ Tray is a free helper app that runs on your computer. When it’s running, Buy & Print sends the label to your label printer and the slip to your paper printer in parallel — no dialogs at all. Not running? Browser print dialogs, always. Silent printing is free for everyone; it’s never paywalled.

WITH QZ TRAY — TWO PRINTERS, ZERO DIALOGS. WITHOUT IT, BROWSER PRINT ALWAYS WORKS

What rides the slip

TCGeezee’s rendered slips carry the order number and date, qty × title lines, per-item prices when the order page had them (never fabricated), pick locations from your Locations map (a gear toggle), and the tracking number.
