Label printing issue

]Hi all
I am trying to print labels, using the 70x35 size.
What I get is the attached pdf file, for actual printing.
1/ the horizontal separation is less than 70mm, so the labels ghet closer and closer to each other on each line, i.e. the thris label starts printing on the right end side of the 2nd one.
Therefore it is unusable.

2/ My callsign appears on some labels, not all.

Is anyone else having these problems ?

If your call is not in the station call field of the QSO it won't be printed, check your imported QSO'S I will wager the station call is empty in many of them

Hi Terry
I checked only one of the QSO, and indeed my call does not appear there.
If my setup is as shown on the attachment, why would my call be missing on a contact entered directly into Log4OM (not an import) ?
Do I need to enter my call for each QSO ? I thought the attached would be enough.

As all if the QSO'S without a station call originated in the same period 1th to 13th November I think that perhaps during that period the station call was not present in the config.

Just rectify the problem, move on and see if it happens again

Time will tell !
What about the other question, on the horizontal separation between labels ?

As I said in another thread here yesterday even printers of the same make and model vary in print positioning.

Use the label design tool to adjust the size, margins and horizontal/vertical adjustments to work with your printer.

Don't forget to save the template when you have it set up correctly

As I said in the first line of my last post "Even printers of the same make and model" vary and therefore sometimes adjustment is required

Hello,
i tried using this Label module, i spent a lot of hours in it trying to get something this correct
I managed with the "Label Definition" module to get something that works with my labels (Format A4 7 rows X 2 columns)
if I print a test page in this "Label definition" module everything is OK

Then, I try to print in real, I select some QSOs and I print my labels via the "Label print" module
and there yours is not correct everything is shifted ...
if you wish I can scan the corresponding labels

but why not do something simple and efficient
all you have to do is give the type of page (A4) as a parameter, then the number of labels in height and the number of columns and all margins

What do you think ?
because for me it is unusable, I do not know how you manage to use this system correctly
thank you in advance if the Team will see if it is possible to improve these modules, because it is really important ...
Thanks and 73
