How do I eliminate the margin from the start or end of my label when printing?

Due to the construction of the tape mechanism, the one inch (25mm) piece of tape that is produced prior to every label cannot be eliminated. However, when you print more than one label continuously, the subsequent labels can be printed without the excess tape.

The following methods are useful for reducing tape use:
 

Method 1 - Selecting "Narrow" in the Margin setting:

 

This eliminates the margin at the end of the tape after printing as shown below:
