Notes
Please note that not all laser printers are capable of being configured to use the top and bottom rows of labels. We recommend that you pass the laser sheet through the printer
once only. Laser sheets need to be manually fed one at a time Minor adjustments to margins may be required depending on your printer and/or software you are using.
