The advice is probably to do with the path the paper takes - if the label
stationery bends to go round a roller (more typical of a laser printer I'd
have thought) the labels may start detaching and cause jams and other
problems if the adhesive gets heated by the printer. So I'd follow the
advice unless I was absolutely sure I was not going to damage the printer.
But what you should be able to do is create a mail merge main document for
the correct label type, adjust the margins until it prints correctly, then
save that document and use it as the starting point for future label merges
to that printer. You could also detach the data source before you save and
close the document. Usually it's less wasteful to check the layout by
printing to plain paper (using the same paper tray/path as you will use for
the labels) then check the alignment by placing the plain paper page over a
blank label sheet.
