I think this will be very helpful info for other people since it took me a while to find the right label printer.

hi, thanks for taking the time and creating a pull request. I wanted to clarify the goal of this change. Since label tab size can be adjusted to fit different label sizes with this setting, shouldn't it be compatible with arbitrary label printer?

Checked my label makers, I have been using cheapest dymo (1/2 inch labels which is just below 13mm) and phomemo (also cheap and has 12mm labels by default)

It's true that you can enter in an arbitrary number and use any label size, but 12mm labels is sensible for the 13mm tab on 1x1 bin and it also gets reset each time which means it's easier to actually get a 12mm label printer. Almost all label makers in the <$50 range support 15mm continuous labels and I have yet to find one that support 12mm continuous labels. I believe the phomemo also now ships with the 15mm by default, and the 12mm label is a fixed size that's an extra purchase. I have a PRT label printer and it uses the same labels. Adding the DYMO® LetraTag® 200B sounds like a good idea, since Dymo makes no mention of label size for that printer either.

Added the Dymo to the pull
