I set-up a whole page of labels in MS Word ( Avery has some label making software that works with several word processing packages- free at their wabsite) I make the labels so the printing only covers a little less than half the width ( 2 5/8"). I then run a sheet through the printer, printing on the left-hand side of the label. I turn the sheet 180 degrees, run it through again, and print the right-hand side of the label- upside down. The page has 30 full size labels, each with printing on one half right side up, and the printing on the other half- it's upside down. I have an 11x14 paper cutter for cutting photopaper, and I then cut the labels in the center of each row of ;abe;s- gives me 60 labels that are 1" x 1 1/4+" and fit nicely on the cassette... If you need the description in a little more depth, email me privately- it might be a good subject for a webpage!!
