Help Needed: Auto-Shrinking/Growing Label Height Based on Text Content (BarTender 2019 + SNAP 500)

I'm working on printing care labels using BarTender 2019 with a SNAP 500 printer (set to continuous stock). The care instructions can vary in length, so I need the label height to dynamically grow or shrink based on the text content.

Here's what I'm aiming for:

• Label width is 1.5 inches, starting height is 3 inches

• Using one text box for care instructions

• Want text to word wrap and adjust the label height accordingly

• Using continuous stock, but can't find the proper setting or behavior to make the label auto-resize in height

  The label height is fixed in your page setup and cannot be changed dynamically based on the size of a label field, as far as I am aware
