How do I Use Dymo Labels in a Brother Printer?
Dymo labels are pressure-sensitive labels made specifically for use in Dymo's LabelWriter printers. These printers use continuous-roll label stock; the idea is you just print a label and rip it off the printer. If you want to use these labels with a Brother label printer, you've got a problem, because Brother label stock comes in its own label spool designed to fit the printer. To use the Dymo labels, you've got to get them onto a Brother spool. It will take a while to do.

Tips & Warnings
Make sure to use a Brother label spool that's as close as possible in size to your Dymo labels.
Dymo labels also have to be wound onto label spools in Dymo printers; the difference is that with the Dymo, the spool stays with the printer, while in the Brother printer, the spool stays with the roll.
Use of non-standard stock with specialty label printers can void their warranty.
Improper winding of labels onto the spool can cause your printer to become jammed.
Never use label stock that is larger than the spool.
