Good!

I don't have a dell archive but my Exabyte 224 had a document devoted
to the label size and format with  measurements in mm that all the
parts of the label had to be. I printed mine reasonably close to
specifications and it worked even with the label upside down.. I used
a sheet avery label paper that I had from the office. The size of the
cut out labels on the avery paper was much larger than the tape labels
so I was able cut out labels that were the correct size.
