Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing the DYMO

LabelWriter. After a short time, you will realize

how many of your daily tasks will be simplified

by using the DYMO LabelWriter.

Your LabelWriter will help you label file folders,

diskettes, video cassettes, mail packages, name

tags, and print Internet postage. With a little

imagination, you will think of hundreds of ways

to use the LabelWriter to make your job easier

and more efficient.

Features

Software

The DYMO Label Software includes many

features that make it flexible and easy to use. You

can set your default return address so that you do

not have to enter your address every time you

print a label. You can import graphics to use with

your labels, and select a default logo file so you

don’t need to import your logo each time you

create a new label. Of course, you can easily

override these default values at any time.

DYMO is integrated into Microsoft

Word,

Outlook

, Palm

™

Desktop, GoldMine

, and

ACT!

™

software. Other popular software

vendors, such as TeleMagic

and CardScan

™

have also integrated printing with the

LabelWriter into their software.

Hardware

Your LabelWriter printer does not use toner, ink

cartridges, or a ribbon to print. The LabelWriter

uses advanced

thermal

printing technology to

print on specially treated labels.

Introduction

Thermal printing is based on the principle of heat

transfer from the thermal print head inside the

LabelWriter printer to the label. A row of

miniature heating elements on the print head is

pressed against the thermal labels. As a specific

element generates heat, a thermal reaction takes

place at that point on the label and the label

becomes discolored.

Labels

The only supplies you will ever need for this

printer are the labels. We recommend you only

use DYMO brand labels.

How long your labels will last depends on how

the labels are used. Thermal labels are susceptible

to fading in two ways:

Exposure to direct sunlight or ﬂuorescent light

for an extended period of time will cause fading.

Contact with plasticizers (for example labels

placed on plastic ring binders) will cause fading.

In the original packaging, the label shelf life is 18

months. When used for short-term applications

(envelopes, packages, etc.), fading has never

been reported as a problem. When used to label

files in a file cabinet, fading is very gradual over

many years. When applied to the edge of a

notebook that is then placed on a shelf in the sun,

fading begins within a few months.

When not in use, keep the labels stored in a cool

dry place and in the black bag in which they were

shipped to prolong label life.
