[Dx4win] Label Settings

[Les Kalmus]

I have tried printing 5160 labels from DX4win 7.02 on several printers 
and this problem exists with all of them. I made up a custom label 
through trial and error and have reasonable results but there is still a 
bit of "print creep" from the first to the last label on a sheet. My 
dimensions are: Width 2.75; Height 1; Left 1.88; Top .5; Hor Shift .06, 
Vert Shift 0. These work on a Canon MP530. The dimensions for a Laserjet 
P6 and Laserjet II (which I finally retired) are different from this and 
each other. You need to play with your settings until this gets fixed. 
You should also try adjusting the font sizes a bit which may help.
