A Dymo printer is an ideal choice for both casual and professional use. The brand has garnered a reputation for providing no-fuss, easy-to-use printing methods for individuals and businesses. While the Dymo printer is relatively easy to get your head around, it can still throw up a few difficulties. Here, we outline how to print with a Dymo label printer and expand on why it may be the best shipping label printer on the market.
How To Set Up A Dymo Label Printer
The first step is the easiest one: simply turn on your Dymo label printer. Next, you’ll have to download the appropriate driver for your computer and Dymo device. This can be found easily on the Dymo website.
Next, you’ll need to configure the printer driver. To do this, just open up your computer’s Control Panel, right-click the Dymo printer and select printer properties. Then, in Preferences, click Advanced and make sure the correct label size is selected and save it as default.
Once configured, it’s time for a test print. The first step is loading your Dymo printer, so pop open the lid and remove the used core by separating the spool from the locking ring. Place an appropriate label reel on the spool; this label reel needs to be the same size as that configured in the settings. Then lock the ring back on and slide the spool into the top cover cradle.
Finally, insert the label directly into the inside feed slot and shut the cover. After that, all you need to do is press the feed button on the outside of the printer to prepare it for a test print.
How To Print With A Dymo Label Printer
Before printing, though, you need something to print! By downloading Dymo software, you can make labels in Word via an add-in which is comparatively easier for at home use.
Just open Word and select the Dymo button on the toolbar. Click the Dymo button, then type the text and design you want to appear on the label. Following that, a dialogue box will appear with the text which you can then edit. Choose the correct label field from the drop-down list and simply hit print.
It’s as easy as writing in a Word document and hitting print once the software is set up!
