In order to generate labels, you need to tell EasyMailings where the text file is that contains your addresses, what character separates the fields, the column order, and what size labels you are using.
There is a sample properties file (called easymailings.properties) for EasyMailings are in the lib subdirectory. It's a very well-commented file, you should be able to figure out your own settings from reading the comments.
# Properties for generating easymailings labels.
# These properties specify how to read in the mailing list data. Specify the
# file location relative to the easymailings directory, that is, the directory
# that holds the file ez.bat

# Set automation to Yes if your mail pieces are automation compatable. This

automation = Yes
# Set cass_certified to Yes if your addresses have been processed by a
# CASS-certified vendor within the past six months.
cass_certified = No
# The next property defines how many of your mail pieces can fit in one inch.
# If you measure a "squished" stack, then your trays will be quite tightly
# packed. It will be to your advantage to shade this number higher if you are
# close to having a three-digit tray that is 3/4 full, as you will pay a lower
# rate for three-digit trays. The default setting below was for a fairly thick
# brochure.
pieces_per_inch =25
# This property tells what kind of trays you are using. If you are using both
# one-foot and two-foot trays, set it to No. If you are just using one-foot
# trays, set it to Yes.
