Working with label definitions

You can create a label definition that lets you specify settings such as label sheet margins and size, number of labels per sheet, space between individual labels, size of individual labels, and margins for the printable area of individual labels. You can specify settings for label definitions that you create or edit existing label definitions. When you no longer need a label definition, you can delete it.
