Remarks:

1. Currently, only the DYMO EL Turbo USB, DYMO LabelWriter 330 Turbo, 400, 400 Turbo and Twin Turbo are known to work only with HP 175x Ethernet USB print server.
DYMO has no knowledge about successfully connecting the LabelWriter 310, 320 or Duo to this print server.
To connect successfully:

- Any DYMO EL Turbo with serial number before 17-0064317 will need the flash upgrade 'flash EL Turbo.exe'
- Any DYMO LabelWriter 330Turbo with serial number starting with 90793 will need the flash upgrade 'flash 90793v0E.exe'
- Any DYMO LabelWriter 330Turbo with serial number starting with 90884 does not need a flash upgrade.
- LabelWriter 400, 400 Turbo and Twin Turbo do not need a flash upgrade.
All other models should be shared using Microsoft’s printer and file sharing utilities.


2. Only the DYMO LabelWriter Software version 6.0 or higher is compatible with the HP 175x Ethernet USB print server.


Procedure:
Below is a procedure to connect the LabelWriter to this HP print server.
This procedure has been tested successfully with Microsoft Win98 and Win2000 clients and requires the use of Windows TCP/IP.
There is no reason to expect any problem using Windows XP.
Windows 95 or Windows NT are not supported.
There is no requirement for use of any Microsoft server support.
This procedure works fine in NetWare only networks.


There are four general steps in doing this installation:
1. Creating the printer port using the HP Print Server install software
2. Creating the printer with DYMO software.
3. Installing the DYMO application software

Anyone with read/write permission to the Address Book, can access it from DYMO Label Software.

Important note:
The Address Book cannot be shared simultaneously among multiple users, regardless of access rights.
It is one at a time.

If it is necessary for multiple users to be able to access the same list of addresses data, each user will need to have a local copy of the data that only they access.

Sharing the LabelWriter via another USB print server.

USB Print servers allow USB compatible devices to be shared across an Ethernet based network. The following models have been tested to work properly with the LabelWriter 400, LabelWriter 400 Turbo and LabelWriter Twin Turbo:

How to verify the firmware version?

Download this utility: ftp://ftp.dymo.com/Printer%20Updates/Trinity%20II+%20printers/UsbGetVer.EXE

Solution:

DYMO has not tested this, therefore we have no experience with Terminal Server systems and don’t support it.
However, we can provide some further information:

1. To allow client access to Server Printers, the “automatic printer redirection” feature must be enabled on the server (enabled by default). (see this article for more details: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/techinfo/overview/tsprint.mspx ). The server must be configured to give clients access permission to the printers.

2. To allow printing on Client Printers, following these steps: a. Install Printer Drivers on the Server: Client Printers will only work when the printer drivers are installed on the Terminal Server. b.Configure the Terminal Server to Connect Client Printers: after the printer drivers are installed, you need to configure your Terminal Server to connect clients’ printers when their terminal service sessions are started (see this article for more details: http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/en/library/32e7017f-7e3e-4d7b-8b31-0eafef355f8e1033.mspx?mfr=true ).

Additionally, here are some customer reports:


1. "It was rather easy to connect the LabelWriter.
Just keep in mind to install the driver locally on the client. The DYMO software can than be installed on the Citrix server."
Windows 2003 Server as a standard server is also not supported by our services, although customers reported it to work.

2. A client reported:"How to install a DYMO LabelWriter on a terminal server:
Situation:
- An office with 5 employees on a local network, working on 1 terminal server.
- 1 DYMO printer connected to workstation.
Solution:
Workstations:
1. Install the DYMO LabelWriter locally on the workstation and share it. Name it e.g. DYMO LW
2. Install the DYMO LabelWriter as a network printer on the other workstations.
Terminal server:
Install the software and skip the installation of the printer (driver).

When users log on to the terminal server, it will recognize the printer and the driver. It's being installed when logging onto the server. Every logged in user can now use the DYMO.
The workstation with the LabelWriter connected has to be turned on of course!

3. My problem was the lack of label no. 99012 when the Twin Turbo driver is installed with Windows 2003.
I copied all the objects from the 99012-based label template and pasted them onto a 99014 label which is both wider and longer than 99012.
The printer roll was set to 99014.
As long as the objects are in the correct place on the template (top-left corner) the 99014-based label prints correctly on a 99012 label because the label feed mechanism depends on the label edge markings not the specified length of label.

The printer driver used for the LabelWriter is a MS Windows driver.
Therefore, if the used third-party software is complient to MS Windows, allows to choose the LabelWriter as printer, allows to change the Page Setup, recognizes labelsizes, etc, printing to the LabelWriter should be possible.
If this software does not run in a Windows environment (e.g. UNIX, Linux, DOS, ...) please refer to the LabelWriter technical manual.

However, we recommend to print data from another application using either:

Quick Print for single labels
or

Smart Paste for multiple labels



A. Quick Print
DYMO Label Software provides an option that allows you to automatically insert text from the clipboard into a label and then print the label with just a couple of mouse clicks (this option is referred to as Quick Print). You use the Quick Print option when you minimize the program to the system tray (called the notification area in Windows XP). You can choose to minimize the program when you first start the program or when you click the minimize button. To select the Quick Print option

1. Choose Preferences from the Edit menu and click the Functional Settings tab.
The Functional Settings tab on the Preferences dialog box appears.
2. Select the Minimize to System Tray check box and the Enable Quick Print from System Tray check box.  
3. Click OK to close the Preferences dialog box.

To quickly print labels while using another program

1. Make sure the Enable Quick Print from System Tray option and the Minimize to System Tray or Start Program in System Tray options are selected in the Preferences dialog box. See the above steps for information.
2. Minimize DYMO Label Software to the system tray.
3. Start the desired program (such as Microsoft Word) and then copy the text you want to print.
4. Right-click the DYMO icon and choose the Paste & Print command from the pop-up menu.
TIP: You can also double-click the DYMO icon in the system tray to paste and print the label.

DYMO Label Software pastes the text from the clipboard into the current label and then prints the label.

You can use this technique from any application that allows you to copy information to the clipboard. You can use it to copy part numbers for barcode labels, file listings for diskette labels, and more.

 

B. Smart Paste
1. Copy the data to be printed
2. Start the DYMO LabelWriter Software
2.  Open the label you wish to use.
3.  Select Smart Paste from the Edit menu.
A dialog box appears telling you how many labels will be printed.
5.  Click OK.
The labels begin printing

MORE INFORMATION
1. When you use Smart Paste to print multiple labels, the labels will be formatted using the font, size, and style currently selected for the label.
2. When pasting rows of text from a spreadsheet program using Smart Paste, each row is treated as a separate label and each cell in the row is treated as a separate line on the label.

For example, the rows in the following spreadsheet:

Several predefined label templates for address and shipping labels are included with the Add-In. The address labels contain an object for the recipient’s address. The shipping label templates also contain an object for a return address.
To select the label template, click one of the templates from the Label Templates box.

The type specifications and graphics that appear on the currently selected label template can be changed, by clicking the Edit button, which appears beside the Label Templates box. The item How to edit label templates describes how to modify the label templates using the Word Add-In. Use these instructions as guidelines for modifying the label templates.

3.Choose the fields in the contact database you want to print.
A number of options are available for selecting how the data is formatted and printed on your label. For example, choose the Contact w/Title Address option, the name, title, and address of the selected contacts are printed. Use this option to print address and shipping labels, as well as name badges, file folder labels, and Rolodex labels or cards. The fields in these options cannot be changed.
To select the fields that print on the labels:

Click a contact format option in the Contact Format box in the DYMO LabelWriter dialog box.

4.Choose the contacts whose addresses you want to print.
To print the addresses of selected contacts in the Outlook database, select the contacts before starting up the Outlook Add-In.

Print an address or shipping label for one or more contacts in Outlook’s Contacts section. Before printing addresses, in some cases, it is necessary to select the contact(s) whose address(es).
The Outlook Add-In supports printing labels for the current contact, the currently selected contacts, all of the contacts in a specified folder, or all of the contacts in the Outlook contact database. Select the contacts whose addresses you want to print by choosing one of the Print Label For options in the lower left-hand corner of the DYMO LabelWriter dialog box. To use certain options (such as the Current Contact and Current Selection options), Select the contact(s) you want in the Outlook database before starting up the Outlook Add-In.
There are several possibilities:
·Current Contact: Choose the Current Contact option to print the current contact’s address. The current contact is the last contact selected in Outlook. If a contact is not clicked before starting the Add-In, the first contact listed in the current view is the default current contact.
·All Contacts: Choose the All Contacts option to print the addresses of all the contacts stored in the Outlook database. When selecting this option and then clicking the Print Label button, the Outlook Add-In prints all the contacts in the Outlook contact database.
·Current Selection: The Current Selection option prints the addresses of the currently selected contacts. To select one or more contacts, click the first contact wanted; CTRL+click any additional contacts you want to select. The name bars change color to signify they have been selected. To select a range of contacts, click the first contact wanted and then SHIFT+click the last contact in the range. To use the Current Selection option, select the contacts whose addresses you want to print before you start the Add-In.
·All Contacts in Current Folder: To print all of the contacts in the current Outlook folder, choose the All Contacts in Current Folder option in the DYMO LabelWriter dialog box, click the folder name you want in the Folder List in Outlook, and then click the DYMO LabelWriter button. The Add-In will print all of the contacts in the currently selected folder, as well as the contacts in all the sub-folders in the current folder.

The Outlook Add-In is normally installed at the same time that DYMO Label Software is installed and a small LabelWriter button will appear in the main toolbar of Microsoft Outlook.
If the Microsoft Outlook option was not selected, the DYMO Label Software will need to be reinstalled, making sure that the Add-In for Microsoft Outlook box is checked.
None of your existing files will be changed.
If the LabelWriter button does not appear in the Outlook toolbar automatically, the Outlook Add-In in Outlook 2000/XP/2003, must be enabled manually.

Enabling the Outlook 2000/XP/2003 Add-In manually

1. Click the Options command from the Tools menu in Outlook.
The Options dialog box appears.
2. Click the Other tab.
3. Click the Advanced Options button.
The Advanced Options dialog box appears.
4. Click the Add-In Manager button.
5. Check the DYMO LabelWriter item in the Add-In Manager list.
Hint: it might be necessary to scroll down the list to display this item. If DYMO LabelWriter does not appear, click the Install button and then select from the list of files.
6. Click OK.
7. Click OK in each of the opened dialog boxes.
8. Exit from Outlook and then restart Outlook.


The Add-In adds a LabelWriter button to the Outlook 2000, XP, 2003 toolbar and adds the DYMO LabelWriter Print command to the Tools menu.
Click the DYMO LabelWriter button to print labels.
The Outlook Add-In works in the Contacts section of Outlook 2000, XP and 2003.

The LabelWriters are designed to print 2 million inches of thermal labels, which equals more than 500,000 Standard Address labels. Of course, very few people print anywhere near that many. If you were to print 20 labels a day, each day of the year, it would still take you more than 68 years.

Paper labels
Label: 84 µm
Label and release paper: 149 µm

Plastic labels
Label: 77 µm
Label and release paper: 141 µm

No, DYMO LabelWriter Software was not designed to be AppleScriptable.



More Information:

AppleScript is an English-like language used to write script files which can control the actions of the computer and the applications which run on it.

Of course the LabelWriters are not designed as photo printers and have some limitations:
- the LabelWriters 300 and 400 series are limited to 300 dpi
- the LabelWriters EL40/60/Turbo are limited to to 203 dpi.
- LabelWriters cannot print grey tones, but rather immitate grey tones by dithering

As a consequence of these limitations, a LabelWriter cannot give the same print result as e.g. an inkjet or a laser printer.

Next to that, the quality also depends on the quality of the used picture/photo. A few hints of changes to pictures that could improve the print quality:
- reduce the pixels of the used photos into 300 pixels per inch
- convert the pictures into grey values
- use a bitmap (.bmp) format

Answer:

Out of the box, the DYMO LabelWriters will not work with Rendezvous.

To use the Label Writer (Trinity II series) with Rendezvous, an Apple Airport Extreme base station is needed. Other non-Apple third party devices which claim to be support Rendezvous may also work.
However, DYMO has not tested these and therefore does not support them.

Solution:

Rendezvous uses industry standard IP protocols to allow devices to automatically find each other without the need to enter IP addresses or configure DNS servers. Rendezvous is basically the friendly term for a protocol called ZeroConf.

The whole idea behind a Rendezvous-ready device is that you could connect it to your wired/wireless network and the device would automatically configure itself (ip address, dns, etc) and let every other computer/device on the network know what it’s functions are (printer, etc). So the idea is, one can connect a Rendezvous enabled HP network printer to the network, it would configure itself automatically, and from any Mac OS 10.2x or later computer, you’d be able to add it/install it as a Rendezvous printer and print to it across the network without knowing things like the IP address of the printer and so on.

You can also have Rendezvous-ready/enabled applications…Safari, iTunes, iChat, etc are all Rendezvous ready. There aren’t a whole lot of manufacturers supporting Rendezvous yet…but companies like HP, Canon, Brother, Xerox, Epson are supporting it on some level.

Any manufacturer wishing to offer Rendezvous support through its hardware can integrate Apple's development software within its devices; significantly, the software is available not only for Mac and Windows but also for Linux.

LabelWriters are thermal printers.
Other known examples of thermal printers are fax machines.

Thermal printing means that the printhead 'burns' the text into the paper.
As a consequence, the LabelWriters can only print black.
The advantage is that no ink is needed.

The LabelWriter does not use a font to generate a barcode.

Depending on the entered number, the program calculates the dot placement for the barcode.

DLS is a non-Unicode application.
Therefore, cannot interpret Russian, Greek, Cyrillic,... characters and replaces these by ???? .
The Word Add-in will face the same problem.

However, there are two workarounds.

1. MS Word (like all Office applications) is a Unicode application.
So, printing directly from Word to the LabelWriter is an option.

2. Work-around to print Russian and other characters from DLS and the Word Add-in:
Remark: this is only a suggestion. If this affects also other applications, don't hold us responsible. But it is worth trying and can always by changed back.
For this, the language for non-unicode applications needs to be changed.
How to change this?
Click Start and click Control Panel
Click Country settings
Click Advanced
Select e.g. Russian as Language for programs which are not Unicode-compatible.
Click OK
Reboot PC.

The serial number is printed on a white label. This label can be found in either the cassette compartment or in the battery compartment.
