[LOGic] Dymo 400

[Rich K.]

I don't want to mislead you here, Dan......

I print all mailing labels first and then print all qsl card labels after
that. I DO have to match up the mailing labels with the qsl labels, but
logic prints them in the same order, so, it is pretty easy for me. 

No, I don't have a qsl label button that appears on the log form to bypass
the report label menu.

Hi Rich, and thanks for your $0.02...

Early in my LOGIC days I tried printing complete QSL cards, and later 
printing direct onto the cards, but evolved to using the sheet labels.

I print the QSO info on a label, and use same-szie labels also to go on 
envelopes. Works well, if not a little tedious.

A big frustration has been that my "ideal" LOGIC report (QSL 3-ACROSS WITH 
ADDRESS) simply doesn't work right...a full sheet of QSO's + addresses will 
"drift" so that QSO or address info runns off a label or onto an adjacenet 
label. Dennis, and others, have offered help/adjustments, but no joy, and I 
got tired of making an experiment out of that approach. So I print the QSO's

on sheets, then the labels on sheets, and try to keep them matched, as I 
slap them on envelopes! It is a bit of clerical task, but doing any QSL's is

kind of like that...

Am trying to decide if buying a Dymo would make things better, worse, or 
same. I can see the benefit of doing just few labels, but usually I save up 
my QSL chores in batches and do them monthly, quarterly, etc. It's not 
unusual to several dozen in one shot. So will the the Dymo approach help? 
And will a label button appear on LOGIC to bypass all the menu stuff? I 
don't know...
