John,
No need to waste a sheet of labels. Just put whatever is left back
into the printer and tell DX4Win how many labels are missing. It will
pick up in the correct spot and be merrily on its way. I can't imagine
5160 (or equiv) labels being more expensive than thermal labels.

I've almost quit using expensive labels.
