Updating drivers manually for LabelWriter ® on Windows

If the LabelWriter appears under unspecified on Windows in Devices and Printers, usually the computer has not identified that device as a printer yet.

Go to Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Device Manager.
Select View>Show Hidden Devices
The LabelWriter should be listed under Other Devices, Printers or Software category.
Right-click on LabelWriter and select Update Driver Software….
In the next window, pick Browse my computer for driver software.

Click the Browse… button and point to one of the folder locations depending on the DYMO software you are using:

A. DYMO Connect:

For 64-bit systems: C:\Program Files (x86)\DYMO\DYMO Connect\Drivers
For 32-bit systems: C:\Program Files\DYMO\DYMO Connect\Drivers

B. DYMO Label v.8:

For 64-bit systems: C:\Program Files (x86)\DYMO\DYMO Label Software\Drivers
For 32-bit systems: C:\Program Files\DYMO\DYMO Label Software\Drivers
Click ‘Next’ and you should receive a notification that Windows has successfully performed the task. If you are receiving any error messages at this point, please contact us.
On some versions of Windows the printer will still show the DYMO under Unspecified even though in Device Manager it appears under Printers. However, you should still be able to print. It’s a Windows glitch, and restarting Windows often resolves that.

Scales FAQs

Scales FAQ

The reading on my scale fluctuates, how can I resolve this?

The scale should be situated on a flat, level, and stable surface. The scale platform should be securely fastened to the scale sub-platform. The scale can be affected by electrical and RF (Radio Frequency) interference. Operation near power transmission lines is not recommended. Operation near appliances which switch on and off with heavy currents (letter openers, copiers, microwave ovens) is not recommended. The recommended operating temperature for the scale is room temperature (around 77 degrees Fahrenheit ). Allow the scale three hours to adjust to a the new climate if the scale was stored in a location a hot/cold environment. If the scale is to be operated in environments above or below room temperature, it is recommended that the scale be re-calibrated in that environment after a three hour adjustment period.

What does the term "overload" mean in relation to my scale?

Overload can have different meanings, all having to do with a weight that is too high. It may mean the weight placed on the scale exceeds its capacity, such as putting 15 lbs on a 10 lb scale. On a rate-calculating scale, it may mean you are trying to perform a function which cannot be performed with the weight registered on the scale, such as attempting to send a 5 lb letter using a service restricted to 1 lb letters. Symbols of overload include OVLD and OOOO.

How do I know if my scale is weighing accurately?

The only sure way to determine if your scale is weighing correctly is by placing a known weight on the scale. Examples of a "known weight" would include a piece from a precision weight set, or perhaps a measured weight used for exercising.

What is the minimum weight that can be read by a S100/S250/S400 digital USB shipping scale?

The S100 and S250 minimum weight that can be read is 1 LB. The S400 minimum weight that can be read 2.5 LBs.

How do you calibrate the DYMO 5 lb. USB scale?

Place the scale on a flat and level surface. Power on the scale by connecting it to a computer with an available USB port. The computer must be powered on. Press and hold the Tare button for two seconds. After two seconds the screen will briefly display CAL followed by 0.0. Press the Tare button. The screen will now display 5.0.0. Place a calibrated 5 pound weight on the scale. Press the Tare button once more. The screen will briefly display Cal, followed by Pass. Remove the weight from the scale and disconnect the USB cable.

Do any of the straight weigh scales indicate how much the postage/shipping charges will be for my package?

Straight weigh scales only weigh items, they don't calculate postage or shipping rates. However, USPS, UPS, Fed Ex, and DHL offer rate calculators on their website. You will be able to display the cost of shipping your package with this tool.

Why is my scale displaying 0.00 when I attempt to calculate Express Mail rates?

Due to the implementation of a new zoned rating structure by the USPS in May of 2008, Express Mail rates will no longer be supported on DYMO scales. When selecting the Express Mail rates option, the scale will display 0.00.

How does the DYMO 5 lb. USB Scale receive power?

The DYMO 5 lb. USB Scale receives power directly from the computer through USB. If not used in conjunction with a computer, the scale can also be powered by a 9-volt alkaline battery.

Can I share the DYMO 5lb USB Scale to other users on my network?

You cannot share the DYMO 5lb USB scale to other users on a network like you would a printer or a scanner. However, because the DYMO 5lb USB scale requires no special drivers, you can easily connect it to any computer.

Can I wash my scale?

We do not recommend that our scales be submerged in any type of fluid. You may clean the tray of the scale with a mild cleaner.

What is a load cell?

A load cell is a mechanism in the scale which bends slightly when weight is put onto the platform. The microcomputer in the scale measures the amount of bending and translates that into the digital display, which is the weight.

SDK

SDK FAQs

Does the SDK support printing in Mac OS or Linux/Unix?

DYMO offers an Apple Script based SDK for Mac OS. The DYMO SDK for Linux consists of CUPS drivers and several command line script samples.You can download MacOS SDK here. You can download Linux SDK and CUPS drivers here.

Are there .NET samples in the SDK? If so, do they show how to print to the LW TT and LW Duo printers?

Yes. We have added .NET samples in the latest SDK. Samples are provided in C#, VB, ASP.NET, and C++. The samples also provide examples on how to control roll selection when using the LabelWriter Twin Turbo printer as well as printing to the tape portion of the LabelWriter Duo printer.

When I print a label from SDK, it's using the default label size. How can I change the paper size selection?

This will occur if you do not properly set the label size in your application. The DYMO SDK includes a sample VB program (entitled ?Paper Size?) that uses the Windows API to set a paper size in a printer driver.

Is there a Java sample in the Software Developers Kit (SDK) for the DYMO Label Software or DYMO Connect Software?

There is not a Java sample because it requires third party software that you must license, download and set up with your Java Development Environment.

Can I print labels from Internet Explorer or Firefox using the Software Development Kit?

Yes. For Internet Explorer we have included Java Script and VBScript samples in the latest release of the SDK. For Firefox we have introduced three XPCOM objects: nsIDymoAddin, nsIDymoLabels, and nsIDymoTape. These objects provide the same functionality as the IDymoAddin, IDymoLabels, and IDymoTape interfaces (part of the high-level COM interface). You can use these XPCOM objects from Java Script to print labels from a web page loaded in the Firefox browser. The XPCOM sample illustrates this process.

I am using the COM interface in DYMO SDK to print a graphic. How do you specify the image source and the file name?

It depends on the programming language you're using. Try switching the order you set these two attributes. For example, if your program does not work when you set the image source, then the file name, try setting the file name first, and then the image source.

I am utilizing DYMO SDK and printing to the LW Duo. How do I specify printing to the (D1) tape cassette?

The IDymoTape interface provides the functionality to create labels using the (D1) tape cassette portion of the LabelWriter Duo printer. See the Software Development Kit (SDK) documentation for more detailed information. The Tape SDK Sample (written in VB) shows you how to print to the tape part of the LabelWriter Duo printer.

I am utilizing DYMO SDK and printing to the LW Twin Turbo. How do I specify the roll to be used?

The IDymoAddIn3 and IDymoAddIn4 COM interfaces provide additional functions that support printing to the LabelWriter Twin Turbo. The "Print2()" interface of IDYMOAddIn3 is used to direct the output to a particular roll(see the SDK documentation for more details). The .NET samples also show you how to print to a LabelWriter Twin Turbo.

How do I print barcodes from a web page using DYMO SDK?

The IE Script samples that ship with the DLS SDK use the SetAddress function to print address labels. In order to print bar code labels, you'll need to replace SetAddress with the SetField function. To print barcodes from a web page, open the DYMO Label Software (DLS) and create a new label. Place a barcode object on the label. Set the symbology for the bar code object. Make a note of the reference name for the bar code object on the label. The default name is: BARCODE. Save the label template.

Is there a DYMO Connect SDK available?

Yes, there is. You can download it from our Developers' Blog: Click here

I could not find an answer to my question in this FAQ section

In that case, please visit the DYMO Developers blog Click Here.

I am developing an application using the DYMO SDK. Which interface should I use?

The high-level COM interface is the simplest way to add label printing capability to your application and should be considered the standard method to use. Using the high-level COM interface, you can print a label with as few as five lines of code (see the JavaScript and VBScript sample code for examples). If you want to print labels where the placement of the items (barcode, text, graphics, and so on) is constant, but their values change, then use the high-level COM interface. The low-level COM interface is useful if you need to do more complex operations, such as create, move, and resize label objects dynamically within your application. With these added capabilities comes a great deal more complexity. The DLL interface is the most complex but the most powerful interface. It's unnecessary for an application that creates simple/basic labels. But if you plan on writing an application for custom label design and printing, then the DLL interface may suitable. The DDE interface is provided to support older applications that were developed in the past and should not be used going forward. All functionalities provided by the DDE interface are supported by the high-level COM interface.
