How to Use Dymo Labelwriter Duo

Dymo's Labelwriter Duo is a label printer. The printer attaches to a computer so single labels can be printed. The label printer uses a thermal print head---it doesn't use ink or toner cartridges. The printer prints on specially treated labels and the labels are the only extra supplies needed. Dymo's Labelwriter Duo has an LED (light-emitting diode) status light that lets you visually determine the status of the printer. Using the printer can be accomplished by following a few steps.

Things You'll Need

• Dymo labels

Instructions

1. Install the software on the computer. Insert the compact disc that came with the Dymo Labelwriter Duo into the disc drive on the computer and follow the computer's on-screen prompts.

2. Connect the printer to the computer and plug in the power. Plug the supplied USB cable into the USB jack on the printer. Plug the power cord into the household outlet and the power adapter. Plug the power adapter into the printer. Wait for the setup to prompt you before plugging the other end of the USB cable into a spare USB jack on the computer.

3. Load labels. Press the "Form Feed" button to eject the labels used to protect the printer in shipment. Remove the spindle and place the new label roll onto the spindle. Insert it into the printer. Check the LED; solid blue means the printer is on and ready.

4. Print a label. From Windows, click on the "Start" button and then choose "Programs" followed by "Dymo Label." Click once on the label representation that will appear on the screen, type an address and click on the Dymo Labelwriter Duo icon and a label will print.
