If the printing on your labels is not centered, you'll need to adjust the alignment of the printing relative to the labels themselves.

The entire page needs to be shifted up or down
The entire page needs to be shifted left or right
The command codes are cut off at the bottom of a Patron Barcode List or Class Barcodes List
This symptom indicates that the report has been scaled down (or shrunken) before it reached the printer.

.Important: If you're printing Reading Program Labels, do not clear the Auto-rotate and Center check box.
Also, make sure the the orientation is Landscape.
Once you've configured the Adobe Reader settings, it may be necessary to refine the alignment further.
Printer offsets allow you to do this.
Use the Vertical Printer offset to move the printing up or down.
Each number is equal to 1/10th of a millimeter. To see a difference, you'll want to change the existing number by at least 10.
A smaller number shifts the printing upwards. A larger number shifts the printing down.
Make sure the number you enter is within the allowable range for your stock.
Vertical offsets for barcode labels
Vertical offsets for spine labels
Note: Because printers vary, there is no absolute value for the printer offsets that always works for any given label stock. It is usually necessary to print a few test pages on plain paper to gauge the results, adjusting the offsets each time.
Use the Horizontal Printer offset to move the printing left or right.

If you are printing patron barcodes formatted to Use at the circulation desk and you're including the Circulation command barcodes, or you are printing a Class Barcodes list, you'll need to make the following changes in Adobe Reader's Print dialog:
In version 8, set Page Scaling to Fit to Printable Area.
In version 6 or 7, set Page Scaling to Fit to Printer Margins.
