[Dx4win] BV7: Direct printing on QSL cards

[Radivoj KAR]

Hi Gerben,

Thanks for the info. My label position is different and it takes too much
cut-and-try to set it a the right place of the QSL card ! I have given up
and will stick the labels :) !

Best 73,
Radi F6GNZ

Radi/Rog,

I'm printing directly from DX4WIN to my qsl cards using a Epson Stylus C84.
My setting for the paper size is still on A4. Details of the 'Print QSL
label' window are:

Label width: 70 mm
Label height: 32 mm
Horz.pitch: 0.00
Vert.pitch: 0.00
Spacing left: 70 mm
Spacing top: 132 mm
Horz.shift: 0.00
Vert.shift: 0.00
Nr across: 1
Nr down: 1
Paper size: A4
Portrait: not selected

Printer properties:
Landscape
Paper size: A4

I'm using qsl cards that have about one quarter of the surface reserved for
printing the qso data (right top corner). Next I put the cards in portrait
position in the printer with the 'printable area' in the left-top corner.

Perhaps you can use the same approach for the settings in BV7.

It works very fine here. Using alternative ink cartridges of just about
12.50 Euro. I bought this Epson printer just because they are cheap and work
fine with alternative cartridges.

Hi Rog,
I questioned the author of BV software: he suggested to use inkjet Epson
printer which can be set for the required paper size :)!
But, for printing several thousands of DX-ped QSL cards it is a bit slow and
expensive solution! As sticking labels in such situation is also too time
consuming, I guess the only solution is to chose the smallest "standard"
paper size (like DL  envelope), stick a QSL in the middle and on right side
of the envelope, and measure margins as it was on the envelope one wish to
print. This will allow using our fast and high-capacity ink cartridge
Laserjet printer. This is the way I figured-out that may solve the issue.
Have a try....

I'm also using a HP 4000, Radi. If you hear of any solutions, please share
them with me. I have not found any but gave up rather easily. Thanks & 73,

Trying to print directly to reserved space on 140x90 cm QSL cards using
DF3CB BV7 software.
My HP Laserjet 4000 printer doesn't support this paper size so using any
other standard format changes all my  prepared "label" position and margin
parameters.
Has anybody solved this problem and how?
