"You don't have the right printer connected for your label size." message on the SendPro C Lite, SendPro C, SendPro+, SendPro C Auto, Connect+ series, SendPro P

The message "You don't have the right printer connected for your label size." occurs because a UPS declared value label must be printed on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper along with its form.
Products affected: SendPro® Online, PitneyShip™, Connect+® 500W, Connect+® 1000, Connect+® 2000, Connect+® 3000, SendPro® P1000, SendPro® P1500, SendPro® P2000, SendPro® P3000, SendPro® C, SendPro®+ (2H00, 8H00)

Issue

When trying to print a UPS declared value label, the following message appears:
 
You don't have the right printer connected for your label size.
To print labels from your Connect+ you'll need to hook up either a desktop printer or a label printer.

Cause

A UPS declared value label cannot be printed on a 4 x 6 label printer because it requires a form. The label and form must be printed together on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper. The label and form cannot be printed as two separate actions.

Resolution

Print the label and form on a sheet of 8.5 x 11 paper:

  • If you have a laser printer connected to your SendPro C Lite, SendPro C, SendPro+, SendPro C Auto, Connect+ series or SendPro P, you can use it to print the label, or print the label from SendPro Online or PitneyShip on a computer.
  • If you do not have a laser printer connected to your SendPro C Lite, SendPro C, SendPro+, SendPro C Auto, Connect+ series or SendPro P, create and print the label from SendPro Online or PitneyShip on a computer.
  • If you use the SendPro 300, create and print the label from SendPro Online or PitneyShip on a computer.
