Optimizing for Maximum QSOs per 2-column Label

de W4TV

When QSLing via QSL labels, DXKeeper will by confirm multiple QSOs with the same station on the same label if

• the station callsign items of each such QSO are identical

• the Via item of each such QSO are identical

• if multiple QTHs are in use, the QTH components, e.g. street, city, state, country, and postal code, of each such QSO are identical

• there is space on the label

• the Confirm Multiple QSOs per QSL option is enabled

Windows versions

• 8.1
• 10
• 11

Printer Parameters

• the selected printer's margins, height, and width as reported by the printer driver are displayed at the top of DXKeeper's Print Preview window

• Ignore printer-imposed margins: unchecked

Labels

• Avery 5961
• generic 5961

Label Parameters

Fonts

• so configured, a label can contain 5 QSOs

Notes

• If both Include QSL Mgr in Confirmation and Include [buro] in Confirmation are enabled, the Confirmation Font must be reduced to 10 points prevent the Confirmation line from extending beyond the edges of the label.

• Some inkjet printers may not be able to print 6 point fonts with sufficient resolution. In that case, increasing the font size to 8 points will reduce the number of available QSOs/lines by one.
• Label parameters may require adjustment with printers from other manufacturers
• Avery 5xxx labels are laser printer labels, and 8xxx labels are equivalent-size inkjet labels; they differ in the heat resistance of the adhesive.

Examples

• 12 point Confirmation Font with only Include QSL Mgr in Confirmation enabled

• 10 point Confirmation Font with Include QSL Mgr in Confirmation and Include [buro] in Confirmation both enabled
