[Dx4win] Using Avery, Brother, or Dymo Label Printers with DX4WIN?

[Dave Perry]

Cliff:

I have been using a Dymo 330 printer for over a year now with DX4WIN.  Works 
great with a custom QSL label design that I created.  It did take me a while 
(couple of hours) to design and test a custom label format to print out 
correctly on the Dymo.  One thing I like about the Dymo is I can print one 
QSL at a time -- or many if printing for bureau.  It also allows me to 
easily copy and paste the address label for sending direct (either to a 
manager or to the DX station's home address).  I merely go to QRZ.com and 
find the callbook address, right click to copy, then open up or switch to 
the Dymo software if already loaded.  I then click once on the New address 
button within the Dymo software, right click in the address box, paste the 
address, and then Save.  Once saved, one more click prints out the mailing 
address.  Very easy and fast!  I also save my return address within the Dymo 
mailing list and then click on my own address to print a return label for 
the SASE.

It is a little tricky setting up the custom label format the first time, but 
once you get it, you're off and running.  It just takes a little patience 
and trial and error.  But it works great!
