Click 'Use Specific Printer
Click on the Printer... button.
Select the name of the Label Printer that you ALWAYS want to print that label to.
Click Properties (for the selected label printer driver)

Change the Width to the width of the label (the width is typically the side that comes OUT of the printer).
Change the Height to the height of the label (how many inches will flow out of the label printer before being torn off).
Change the Unprintable Area for the Left, Right, Top, and Bottom to 0.00 each.
Click OK to close the Print Driver Properties
Click OK to close the Page Setup popup window.
On the (Larger) Page Setup windows still visible, click on the Margins tab.
