About Labels
All DYMO label printers that are compatible with DYMO Label software use either DYMO
LabelWriter label rolls or DYMO D1 label cassettes.
The only supplies you will ever need for your printer are the labels. We recommend you
only use DYMO-branded labels.
DYMOās warranty does not cover malfunction or damage that may be caused by the
use of labels other than DYMO-branded labels. Because DYMO LabelWriter printers
use thermal printing technology, you must use specially designed and manufactured
labels. The thermal coatings used on labels other than DYMO-branded labels may not
be compatible, and may provide unsatisfactory printing or cause the printer to
malfunction.
Label Rolls
LabelWriter label rolls come in a variety of shapes and sizes; including address, shipping,
and file folder labels. You can also order custom labels to fit your exact needs.
All LabelWriter printers use DYMO LabelWriter label rolls.
Label Cassettes
DYMO D1 label cassettes are available in a variety of colors, materials, and widths.
The LabelWriter Duo, LabelManager 420P, LabelManager PnP, LabelManager PCII,
LabelManager 450D, and LabelPoint 350 use DYMO D1 label cassettes.
The LabelWriter Duo uses both LabelWriter label rolls andīD1 label cassettes.
About Label Rolls
DYMO LabelWriter printers use advanced thermal printing technology to print on specially
treated, heat-sensitive labels. This means you will never have to replace toner, ink
cartridges, or a ribbon to print labels.
Direct Thermal printing works by transferring heat from a thermal print head to specially
treated labels. The thermal print head contains a row of miniature heating elements that
press against the treated label. As a heating element touches the specially treated label, a
thermal reaction causes the specific point on the label to turn black.
The only supplies you will ever need for DYMO label printers are the labels. We
recommend you only use DYMO-branded labels.
How long your labels will last depends on how the labels are used. LabelWriter thermal
labels are susceptible to fading in the following ways:
