 Hey all,
 
  
 
  
 
 Is there a way to suppress the printing of the default header
 
  
 
 (QSO with, Date, Time, Mode, etc.) so that I can directly print
 
  
 
 to my cards which ALREADY have a header printed on them?
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
 Regards,

[Dx4win] Printing Directly to qsl cards

2007-03-29 Thread Kostas sv1dpi
Dear Hamad
this is my configuration
Custom1
Units=3Dmm
Label width=3D80
Label Height=3D30
Horz pitch=3D0
Vert Pitch=3D0
Spacing Left=3D20
Spacing top=3D168
Horz shift=3D0
Vert shift=3D0
Nr across=3D1
Nr down=3D1
Paper size=3DCUSTOM=20
then opens a window where i write
Page width=3D140
Page height=3D90
Max qsos=3D0
Portrait unchecked
Callsign font
and body font what you want. Have in mind that double click on font =
names changes font to what you want.
Becareful that when you go to print you have setup your printer for a =
page dimension. My setup works when my printer have chosen A4 page. i =
put the cards with the narrow side in the printer (it is a HP 5150 by =
the way and it has print over of 1 cards - 6000 cards for sx6a qsos =
in a row - without a problem. Not bad for a 70$ printer value)
I suggest initially to print in a A4 page and try to print where tha =
card is supposed to be. After that put the paper in front of the card =
and you go even close to final. Then try a real card.

PS I wish we could print the callsign, report, band, etc in different =
columns than default, so i could fit these in my old card with the =
boxes. I have leave a blank place in my card to print qsos with dx4win.



[Dx4win] MY_MULTIPLE_QSO_OPERATION_FIXED_BUT?

2007-03-29 Thread George
I resolved my multiple QSO set upload date by upgrading to version 7.02 but! 
Now my Orion 2 stays in transmit when I start the radio??? I have to stop the 
radio to get the Orion2 to stop transmitting. I lost my packet cluster spot 
clicks that would change the Orion2's frequency and the like, and the SteppIR 
control..
I've checked all the preferences 100 times and am out of ideas. It worked fine 
in 7.01 and now when I run 7.01 the same thing happens??? I never migrated any 
file from 7.02 to my 7.01 file so I don't think I could have screwed up the 
7.01 files.
Al else, packet and rotor control, seem to be working fine.
Can anyone assist me?
Thanks.

i gave up trying to print to standard card. Some samples i got would 
not take inkjet ink so well.

So I got the local Staples store ( an office products supply store) 
to cut 81/2 X11 nice card stock into 3.5 x 5.5 cards...
the card stock this morning was on sale ..125 sheets for 4.12, which 
cut into 500 cards.. they charged 6$ for the 3 cuts.  So far about 
$10..for 500 cards...

Then I use my hp laser to print most all the card except the call sign and the
  info.  ( no additional costs)

I use my  epson inkjet to print my callsign in COLOR
blue and then red (not to empty one color completely and prematurely 
killing the ink cartridge.)  My card stock is grey and either color 
looks good.
If I wish I can also print a contest note on the batchsame time 
as callsign.

Then I run them as needed just printing the qsl info...
I have been successful using generic ink cartridges from LD products 
for about 7-8 $ each... so I don't even worry.
I printed 200 cards with blue qsl data yesterday , and the cartridge 
is still ok,

I do use kostas's idea about printing on paper till you get in the 
zone, then fine tune.
