9. Now click to the Printing tab (for UPS/FedEx as needed). Change where it shows (or should show by default) Otherwise always print with Standard. Click on the Standard and choose the newly configured/updated Template you were just working on, Standard for Thermal with Logo.

10. Now Process a NEW SHIPMENT with UPS/FedEx to test the label setup. (Do not attempt to reprint an old shipment to test as this may not be a viable test, depending on your previous configuration.)

NOTE: This method will not function if processing label shipments with EPL/ZPL label formats. If you processed a shipment as EPL/ZPL void that shipment and process a newly created shipment as Standard instead.
