Getting to Know the Label Printer
Your LabelWriter printer is a direct thermal printer that does not use ink or toner.
Instead, the printer uses heat from a thermal print head to print on specially
treated, heat-sensitive labels. Labels are the only supplies you will ever need to
buy.
Become familiar with the features shown in the following figures.

Power
The power button turns the label printer power on and off. After five minutes
of inactivity, the printer will enter power-saving mode and the power status light
will dim. While printing labels, pressing the power button will cancel printing.
Refer to Power Status Light on page 22 for more information.
Label Feed buttons
The label forward feed button on the side of the printer advances a single
label.
The label reverse feed button reverses the label in the label exit slot out of the
slot and is used to remove labels from the printer when changing rolls. Labels that
have already passed through the label exit slot must be torn off first.

Label Release Lever
The label release lever releases the pressure of the print head from the labels so
that the labels can be easily removed from the label exit slot.
Label Guide
The label guide is important for narrower labels such as address labels and other
specialty labels. The label guide helps keeps the labels aligned properly against
the left edge of the label slot so the labels will feed properly.
About Labels
The LabelWriter 550 series of printers work only with Authentic DYMO LW Labels.
Authentic DYMO LW labels support Automatic Label Recognition™, which allows
DYMO software to receive information about the labels, such as which size label is
in your printer and how many labels remain on the roll.
DYMO LabelWriter printers use advanced direct thermal printing technology to
print on specially treated, heat-sensitive labels. This means you will never have to
replace toner, ink cartridges, or a ribbon to print labels.
DYMO’s warranty does not cover malfunction or damage that may be caused by
the use of labels other than Authentic DYMO Labels. Because DYMO LabelWriter
printers use direct thermal printing technology, you must use specially designed
and manufactured labels. The thermal coatings used on labels other than
Authentic DYMO Labels may not be compatible, and may provide unsatisfactory
printing or cause the printer to malfunction.
How long your labels will last depends on how the labels are used. Thermal paper
labels, such as those printed by the LabelWriter printer, are susceptible to fading
in two ways:
Exposure to direct sunlight, to fluorescent light for an extended period of time,
or to extreme heat will cause fading.
Contact with plasticizers (for example, labels placed on plastic ring binders)
will cause fading.
In the original packaging, the shelf life for DYMO LW labels is 18 months. When
labels are used for short-term applications (envelopes, packages, and so on),
fading is not a problem. When labels are used to label files in a file cabinet, fading
is very gradual over many years. Labels applied to the edge of a notebook that is
then placed on a shelf in the sun will show signs of fading within a few months.
To prolong label life when labels are not in use, store the labels in a cool, dry place
and in the black bag in which they were originally packaged.
Ordering Labels
DYMO offers a full range of labels for the LabelWriter printer, including labels
suited for addressing envelopes, shipping packages, naming file folders, labeling
all sorts of media, printing name badges, and much more. A complete listing can
be found at the DYMO Web site: www.dymo.com.

User Guide
DYMO’s warranty does not cover malfunction or damage that may be caused by
the use of labels other than Authentic DYMO Labels. Because DYMO LabelWriter
printers use thermal printing technology, you must use specially designed and
manufactured labels. The thermal coatings used on labels other than DYMO-
branded labels may not be compatible and may provide unsatisfactory printing or
cause the printer to malfunction.
Designing and Printing Labels
Your label printer works with DYMO Connect for Desktop software to make
designing and printing labels easy. You can also print labels directly from Microsoft
Word with the DYMO Label Add-in. The Add-in is automatically installed when you
install DYMO Connect for Desktop software, if Microsoft Word is installed on your
computer.
System Requirements
The LabelWriter label printer requires one of the following:
Windows® 8.1 or later
macOS® High Sierra v10.13 or later

User Guide
Important!
In order for the labels to feed properly during printing, pay attention to the
following when loading labels onto the spool and into the printer:
Make sure the power is turned on.
The label spool guide must be pushed flush against the label roll, with no gap.
The labels must be loaded with the left edge of the label inserted against the
left edge of the label exit slot.
To load a label roll
1Remove the label spool from inside the printer and separate the spool guide
from the spindle.
2Hold the spool spindle in your left hand
and place the label roll on the spindle so
that the labels feed from underneath and
the left edge of the label roll is firmly
against the side of the spool.
3Slide the spool guide onto the right side of
the spool and press the guide tightly
against the side of the label roll, leaving
no gap between the roll and the spool.
To ensure proper feeding of labels during
printing, the label roll must fit snugly
against both sides of the label spool, with
no gaps.
4Insert the label spool into the slot in the
base of the printer with the labels
extending from underneath the roll.
5Align the left edge of the label with the left
edge of the label exit slot and insert the
label into the slot.
6Press the form feed button to
advance the label into position.
If the first label on the roll is not a full label,
press the label forward feed button to
eject the partial label.
Regardless of the label width, the left
edge of the label must be aligned with the
left edge of the label exit slot for the labels
to feed properly.
7Slide the label guide to the left until the guide aligns with the right edge of the
label.
Make sure that the label guide does not pinch the label.
8Carefully lower the top cover.
