DYMO printers are unique compared to other thermal desktop printers. They use 1” core roll labels with a notch.

Using special labels like these means you’ll want to guarantee none are wasted with issues like labels skipping or prints being cut off.

Below are the instructions on how to properly load and calibrate your DYMO printer:

  1. Remove the detachable label roll from the printer.
  2. Pull off the removable label spool.
  3. Once removed, place the labels onto the roll face sheet side down and re-insert the spool.
  4. Re-insert the label roll back into the printer.
  5. Push and adjust the spool until it fits snugly against the side of the label roll.
  6. Align the labels against the left edge of the printer.
  7. Adjust the media guide to fit the label size appropriately.
  8. Gently feed a label through the label feed path. Once the printer recognizes the presence of a label, it will pull the label into the feed path.
  9. Press the form-feed button on the front of the printer to advance the labels toward the feed mechanism.
