[Dx4win] QSL Labels and Avery 8160 Labels

Sat, 4 Jan 2003 18:15:50 -0800

Jeff,
I also use Avery 8160 and found that I had to modify the settings.  Under
the custom label setting I set the "spacing left" to 0.2, "spacing top" to
0.65, "horizontal shift" to 0.1 and the "vertical shift" to 0.1.  I am using
Arial font.  Without the shifting I was getting the printing cut off on the
left side and top of the labels in the third row.  I am also new to using
the program and there may be other ways to adjust the printing but this
seems to work for me.

I only use two QSO's per label and I would think you could probably adjust
the offsets to get three QSO's per label.
Hope this helps.

73,
Roger, W7VV / ZK1VVV

Subject: [Dx4win] QSL Labels and Avery 8160 Labels

After getting all my recent PJ2/K8ND 160m QSOs imported to
DX4WIN, I'm printing QSL info labels for the first time. I am
using DX4WIN with a HP Deskjet 990Cse printer and Avery
8160 labels.

I'm having a problem that doesn't seem specifically related to
DX4WIN, but to something else in setting up for these labels.
Perhaps someone can share similar experiences and
solutions?

>From Word (Office 2000) or DX4WIN, the labels do not align
with the labels on the sheet. The first is off (too far down by 1/4-inch
or so), but they *all* seem  spaced incorrectly relative to each
other, as if the 8160 template were wrong in both Word 2000
*and* DX4WIN (I know - unlikely). Even if the first label were
aligned correctly, each subsequent rows would "walk" down,
with each label starting lower in the label space.

There could be some misconfiguration of the printer, but I
would think that this should be handled by the printer driver
based on the template rather than requiring any kind of
manual setup?

Any ideas?
