DYMO to be Featured at "Next-Generation Desktop" Session During PalmSource ConferenceStamford, CT, 05/02/2002
DYMO label printing Addin for Palm Desktop 4.0 to be highlighted
DYMO® Corporation, a leader in labeling and identification products, announced
today that the Palm" Desktop Addin for the DYMO LabelWriter label printers
will be highlighted in a session, The Next-generation Desktop, at the
upcoming PalmSource® Developer Conference in San Jose, CA.
The DYMO Addin is the first for the Palm Desktop. It allows for address,
shipping, media and other label printing, directly to DYMO LabelWriter
label Printers. It also includes an address correction feature that
corrects any US address against a USPS master database, correcting any
errors and adding the zip+4 code. This solution means that Palm Powered"
handheld users never leave the Palm Desktop software to complete a
labeling need using DYMO LabelWriter label printer products.
"We found that many users of the DYMO LabelWriter label printers also use Palm
Powered devices and utilize the Palm Desktop software", said Rick
Constantine, Director of Business Development at DYMO. "Being a part of
the development of this technology has provided DYMO and our Palm Powered
handheld user customers with a seamless labeling solution.
Installation of the Palm Addin occurs when a new LabelWriter printer is
installed. The DYMO software automatically detects the Palm Desktop
software and prompts the user for installation of the Addin. Once a
contact is selected in the address folder, label printing functions can be
accessed through the tools menu on the Palm Desktop, launching a DYMO
window that allows label selection, address correction and printing.
"DYMO's commitment to developing the Palm Desktop Addin, and their experience
integrating DYMO label printer technology with leading business software
seemed like a great fit for Palm," said Ken Freeman, product manager, Palm
Desktop software. "Their input helped us develop the integration framework
and in turn, DYMO is now the first Palm Desktop Addin developer."
During the session at the PalmSource Conference, Palm will be discussing new
Addin opportunities and will highlight the DYMO solution to developers as
an example.
DYMO has long integrated LabelWriter label printer support into leading
business applications like, Microsoft Word®, Outlook®, Act!", Goldmine®,
CardScan® and others.
The Palm Desktop Addin is still currently in beta; a full version is expected
for release in June 2002. Information on DYMO products, including support
