Setting up and printing name tags

I need some guidance.  I've never had to do this type thing before.  About all I've done has been call cards....one name and address on hundreds of cards.  Now I need to do name tags for a local function.  How would I go about doing this.  Each tag will have a photo ID and a name plus the business name. ....so one of each tag on 8.5 x 11 sheets of "labels" arranged in 2 rows of 4 being 8 up.  The "Avery" label size is 2.25 x 3.5 ....#74549.  Should I get each label ready as a "page" in a file say 1 - 50 then how would I send it to the printer in order to get one of each label?  I deal mostly in wide format printing daily.  I have a small  format printer  (Oki C9650) that can print up to 12x36 media so printing sheets of labels should be easy. I'm using CorelDraw x6.
