1) In the Page Setup dialog, select International Fanfold paper.
This is 12-inch high paper. Also, make sure "No Breaks Between Pages" is
checked.
2) In the Print Stack dialog, set the Top Margin to 0.0 inch, the
Bottom Margin to as small as possible (hold down the Option key and try
several times. The least you may able to attain is 0.062 inch). Set the
Left Margin to as small as possible (0.093 inch) and the right margin to
anything. Make sure that "space between cards" is 0.0 inch.
3) In your print script, use the "Print card from x,y to x,y"
command, and adjust the top and bottom pixels until you get the
correct spacing between adjacent labels. You may have to shorten the
print area by 1 pixel less than what the calculated value is for
3 inches: your adjustment may vary. To make sure that only one label is
printed "across", make the right-hand 'x' dimension large -- use the full
width of the card, and make sure that there is only white space on each
card. This works nicely, but it is far from obvious how to do it when you
start working.
