The command
^LL1184
(the second command after the downloaded graphic) sets the label length
to 1184 dots, which is 148 mm if the resolution is 203.2 dots per inch
(which is, AFAIK, the default for most label printers. This is only 0.5 mm
shorter as the length of an A6 sheet.

So, if the printer is configured correctly, it should emit A6 length labels.
You menttioned in a recent post that the labels are 274 mm long, which
indicates that the printer’s resolution is 4 dots per mm instead of the default 8.

You need to edit either the PPD or the dry file to add the new resolution
(101 dpi in this case) and re-generate the PPD.
