Without using the Design Engine api, you have to tie your element to
something that iterates on a datasource.
A simple way to do this is create a Scripted Data Source and Set. Check
your parameter in the fetch event of the data set and then tie this
dataset to a list or table control that holds your item you want to iterate.
Below is an example of this using a label in a table. Look at the fetch
event on the
data set.

This question is because I have paper with labels for print in dot matrix.
I think print one grid and the user input by param the number of labels
for print, then repeat this grid with the space of labels.

You should be able to do this, if you put the grid and the labels in the
detail row of a list or table and then use the scripted datasource/set I
already posted.
