## Validation checklist

Before printing:

1. Verify customer name and full address.
2. Verify carrier and service type.
3. Verify pickup warehouse mapping.
4. Confirm barcode is visible and not clipped.

<Tip>
  Run a single-sample print first whenever you update label templates or printer settings.
