Printing Directly from Other Applications
You can print directly to your DYMO label printer from most applications by using the printer
drivers that come with your printer. To make printing even easier, we have included software add-
ins for some popular Windows application programs, such as Microsoft Word and Outlook. For
more information on the add-ins, see Printing Labels from Other Applications.
To print labels on a DYMO label printer from applications other than DYMO Label software, you
need to complete the following basic procedures:
▪ Select your DYMO label printer from the printers list.
▪ Choose the correct orientation and page size for the type of label you want to print.
▪ Set the margins to allow the text to print correctly on the label.
See Printing Directly from Microsoft Word for an example of how to print a label from a
Windows application.
