Printing Directly from Other Applications
At times you may want to print labels directly from another program to your LabelWriter, without using DYMO
Label Software or the LabelWriter add-ins. One example could be if you maintain address lists within Microsoft
Word or Access and want to print them all on labels without importing the list to the DYMO Label Software List
Manager.
Printing labels directly from applications like these is quite easy because the LabelWriter printers come with
standard printer drivers that work with virtually any application.
Detailed instructions on printing directly from Microsoft Word and Access can be found in the online Help.
Even if you are using a different application program than Word or Access, reading the instructions in the online
Help will give you an understanding of how to use the LabelWriter printer driver with your favorite program.
Chapter 6 Maintenance and Troubleshooting
This chapter describes how to take care of your LabelWriter and offers suggestions for identifying problems that
can occur when you use the LabelWriter printers. If you can’t solve the problem, this chapter also describes
how to contact DYMO for technical support.
Caring for the LabelWriter
The LabelWriter printer is designed to give you long and trouble-free service, while requiring very little
maintenance. You’ll get the best possible performance from your LabelWriter if you follow the setup instructions
that appear in the Quick Start and the procedures described in this section.
You can easily clean your LabelWriter using a lint free cloth, isopropyl alcohol, and a small, soft brush. You can
also use the LabelWriter cleaning card included in your printer package.
Performing a Printer Self-Test
If you experience problems with broken characters or other print quality issues, you should perform a printer
self-test. The self-test verifies that all elements of the print head are in working condition.
