Filepro knows nothing of margins. It delivers labels one after another to
your specification. It is up to you to insure the the number of lines
per label divides evenly into the lines per page of labels.

You supply a PCL code to the printer at the beginning of the printing
to specify margins and line spacing. Typical label sheets have 20  1 x 4
labels and 1/2 inch top margin with 60 print lines. This is normally
the default PCL printer page format, so as long as you define your
label format as 6 lines, at 6 lpi all should work out fine.

You say your label sheet has 3/4 inch margins top and bottom. I am
suspicious as that doesn't seem like a standard size label.

How many labels are there per sheet? And what are the dimensions
of each?
