Margin problem with Zebra GC420T on Windows 10

I have a Zebra GC420T printer installed in Windows 10 with the seagull driver, but when printing the label it adds a left and right margin of 1 Cm (12pt).
I checked the configuration in the driver and I have not added any type of margin, same in the label that I print. Also update the printer driver but still the same.

What could be causing this problem?

All printers have non-printable areas next to the edges of the paper. This prevents ink/toner from making a mess out of the platen (roller) which would make a mess of every page printed after.

When you see something that has print bleed (where the picture, text, or color goes right to the edge, it was actually printed on a larger sheet of paper, then the white, non-printable area was cut off.

You're not going to find any way around the non-printable area.

the problem isn't the margin per se, is the width of it on windows 10, on windows 7/8/2012 if only 0.5 cm but in windows 10 is 1.5 cm on each side of the label. i tried sending the raw command to the printer and the margin is perfect (only 0.5 cm) i think i has to be something with the printer driver
Which app are you using to create the label?
the Bartender 10.4 with Zebra XML export
