If A4 paper is slighty wider than US letter size be sure that the label
format is set up for A4 paper. Otherwise, you will have to edit the label
prg to adjust the left and right margins to be equal (not margins of the
individual labels, but of the stock on which you will print them.) Another
way to compensate if the label prg is not for A4 stock is to cut your A4
sheets down to 8.5 inches wide with an accurate paper cutter.
