  • You can process a shipment and print labels up to 10 days in advance for FedEx Express shipments and up to 5 days in advance for FedEx Express Freight shipments. The future date you selected in the Package and Shipment Details section will print on the label.

To Print Multiple Labels

Select All labels and click Print to print multiple labels at one time.
In order to select the Print all labels button to print one copy of each label, your system must have Sun Java J2SDK/J2RE version 1.4.1_02 or higher. To check your current version of Java, open your browser and click Tools. Select Sun Java Console and then scroll to the top to see your Java version. To download the necessary software, follow these steps:
  • Please uninstall all jvm's in the system: Open the operating systems control panel, select the Add or Remove Programs item from the list in the Control Panel, and then select each JVM or Java Runtime environment item in the list and select remove
  • Go to the Java site at: http://java.sun.com/products/archive/index.html
  • Under Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE), go to the subheading J2SDK/J2RE - 1.4 and choose 1.4.1_02 in the drop-down. After you have selected the correct version please select the Go button next to it and following the installation instructions from Sun's website
After you have installed Java 1.4.1_02, try printing your labels. If the problems persist, your system may be running conflicting versions of Java. To confirm this, open your browser and go to Tools > Internet Options > Programs, and then click the “Manage add-ons” button.
If there are two different versions of Java present, one should be removed (even if it is already disabled). To do this, go to Start > Control Panel, select Add or Remove Programs, choose the lowest JRE version installed, and click Remove.
In order to reprint a label, click the Ship History tab at the top of the FedEx Ship Manager at fedex.ca screen. The reprint label should only be used when the original label is not available. Using this label for shipping additional shipments is fraudulent and could result in additional billing charges, along with the cancellation of your FedEx account number.
Number of Copies
Clearance processing requirements in each destination country determine how many copies of the shipping label, including the Legal Terms and Conditions, are required. Note: The number also varies by origin country.

Fold and Insert Label(s)

  • Fold the printed label(s) where indicated and insert them in the clear plastic pouch on your package so that the barcode portion can be read and scanned.

Printing Problems

    • If the setting is 600 or higher, reset to 300 and set print quality to Low.
    • Try printing again. If a shipping label prints with a different tracking number than the misprint, you must cancel the shipment. Use the tracking number from the misprinted document to cancel it.
  • To ensure consistent sizing of the label, make sure the printer settings on your Web browser are accurate.
    • To select your printer settings, select File on your browser menu then click Print.
