I assume that this is a laserprinter. There is an area
near the edges of the page in which a laserprinter can't
print. Personally, I print labels on an LQ for that reason
and also because I can run continuous labels on it. I don't
use 4th Dimension but presumably it either has a canned program
or else you can write a program to print labels on it.
