Printing Differences
Printed badge quality will differ on Windows devices versus iOS or Android devices because iOS and Android devices convert badges to PDF format when printing.
The PDF format has crisper lines and lettering.
Conversely, Windows does not support printing PDF files from Apps.
The app must print an image version of the badge on Windows devices.
Printing the image version can cause the printed badge to be of lower quality than printing from iOS or Android.
Positioning
In some cases when printing from Windows devices, the printed badge may not appear properly centered, may get cut off, and/or may be displayed differently between devices.
Check Windows Display Settings
Check Windows Display Settings > Scale and Layout > "Change the size of text, apps, and other items".
Right click on Desktop > Display Settings.
Ensure the display scale is 100%
Make sure the setting is 100%.
If the setting is not 100%, the generated badge will be off by that amount.
For example, setting the display to 125% will cause the badge to be 125% in size.
The badge may be potentially cut-off.
The badge may be off-center.
The badge may be even blank depending on the badge size you are using.
Check the printer paper size and print quality settings
Go to Printers & Scanners > Select printer > Manage > Printing Preferences.
Check the paper size and print quality settings.
Example: Brother QL-1110NWB printers
Printer settings can be different depending on your printer.
For example, on Brother QL-1110NWB printers, the paper size for a 4-inch by 3-inch badge should NOT be 4x3.
Setting the paper size to 4x3 will print 3, 4-inch badges.
The paper size should be set to 4 inches for 4-inch continuous paper.
Set the length to the other dimension.
Set the length to 3.00" for 4" x 3" badges.
Higher quality setting tradeoff
Sometimes setting for higher quality will cause small lines to appear faded or splotchy.
Setting higher quality for print quality can give priority to print speed.
Priority to print speed may make the badge easier to read.
