[Dx4win] Label Printing

[ALAN ZACK]

I can understand you wanting to use a continuous roll of labels for only a
couple of labels, BUT, DX4WIN does allow the use of sheets of labels for
just a few labels. In the label print window there is a box MISSING LABELS.
So let's say you have a sheet of labels that you have already printed 5
labels from. So you put 5 in the missing labels box and it will start with
the 6th label which should be the first blank label on your partly used
page. I use type 8160 labels, 2 5/8 inch long and 1 inch high. They fit FB
on my QSL cards.

My only problem is the latest version 8.04 does not remember my preferred
settings as previous versions did. It always goes to the default of PRINT
QSL MANAGER LABEL, PRINT VIA MANAGER, PRINT METHOD LABEL being selected and
PRINT GROUP NAME not being selected. I always change it to PRINT METHOD
LABEL being deselected and PRINT GROUP NAMES being selected but it won't
remember these settings. Anyone else have a problem with this??

Hi All,

Just installed DX4WIN and am trying to learn its many features.

I've run into a couple problems that I can't find discussed in the
 Help files.  I'll deal with them one at a time so as not to get too
 confusing.

Labels:

I don't often print more than a few labels.  Many times it's just one
 to respond to an incoming QSL. I can see how to do sheets of labels
 on my inkjet printer but can't imagine doing that many (a sheetfull).

I have an old tractor feed printer where I printed my labels from my
 previous logging program. It's merely one across. The labels are
 3 1/2 in. X 15/16 in. They are also known as Avery 4013 style.

I've tried numerous setups in the Label Editor and can get a label
 to print OK. BUT, after it prints the label it appears a Form Feed
 is sent to the printer because it feeds out a whole page length of
 labels. That's a real waste of a lot of labels since rolling them back
 peels them off and makes a mess.

I tried Custom5 and set the Page Width to 3 1/2 and the Page Height
 to 1.0, but it still feeds out like an 11" sheet. I set them to Zero and
 I still get a form feed to 11".

There is a choice for Label Name 4013, but it still feeds out like an 11"
 Form Feed.

Any suggestions?
