The article explains how to customize the Wire Labels report.

The label sheets (Model LSL78 from Impact, Inc.) that these reports were designed to use are sheets of 7 columns with 3 rows (21 labels/sheet). The text prints on a white part of the sticker, and the rest is clear for wrapping and protecting the text.

In this example, we will customize the stock Wire Labels report to fit the Model LSR77 label sheet. The Model LSR77 label sheet can provide 7 labels across and 7 rows of labels (49 labels/sheet), and the height of each label is 1.33."

You can customize this for any other brand of labels if you prefer.
