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. DYMO LabelWriter Wireless User Guide Become familiar with the features shown in the following figures. 10 1 Cover handle 5 Label guide 2 Label roll 3 Label spool 7 Label forward feed 4 Label release lever DYMO LabelWriter Wireless User Guide Label exit slot and tear bar Power (On/Off) Printer status light 9 Label reverse feed 10 Wireless status light Right side view Back view Label forward feed Power (On/Off) and Printer status light 6 USB connector 3 Label reverse feed Wireless status light 5 Power connector 7 RESET 8 Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) Power The 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 glow. Refer to Wireless 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 out of the label exit slot and is used to remove labels from the printer when changing rolls. DYMO LabelWriter Wireless User Guide Wireless Status Light The wireless status light visually shows the current wireless state of the printer. Refer to Wireless Status Light on page 22 for more information. WPS Button The Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) button can be used to connect the printer to your WPS-enabled router. You have two minutes to press both the WPS button on your router and on the printer. See Connecting the Printer using WPS on page 12. For information about whether your router supports WPS, refer to the documentation that came with your router. RESET Pressing the RESET button for longer than five seconds returns the printer to the factory default settings. This will delete any network or other settings you may have saved. Short press (1-5 seconds) Restarts the printer without deleting your settings. Long press (more than 5 seconds) Deletes all the printer settings and returns the printer to the default factory settings. The printer starts up in Access Point mode and the quick setup wizard automatically starts when you connect to the printer from your computer. 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 DYMO LabelWriter printers use advanced 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 DYMO-branded 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 DYMObranded labels may not be compatible, and may provide unsatisfactory printing or cause the printer to malfunction. DYMO LabelWriter Wireless User Guide 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 LabelWriter 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. DYMO’s warranty does not cover malfunction or damage that may be caused by the use of labels other than DYMO-branded 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 DYMObranded labels may not be compatible and may provide unsatisfactory printing or cause the printer to malfunction. Custom Labels (US Only) DYMO also offers several ways to customize your LabelWriter labels. You can order labels preprinted with text or graphics in any color. For example, shipping labels can be preprinted with your return address and logo to match your corporate letterhead. Labels are also available in custom sizes and with special adhesives. You can obtain details on our custom label program by calling the Custom Label Sales department at 1-800-426-7827 or visiting http://customlabels.dymo.com.

Make sure to store the label roll in this bag when the labels are not being used. Important! In order for the labels to feed properly during printing, pay attention to the following when loading labels on 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. 10 DYMO LabelWriter Wireless User Guide To load a label roll 1 With the printer turned on, press the label reverse feed button to eject the labels that protected the printer during shipment. 2 Open the top cover and remove any packing material inside the label compartment. 3 Remove the label spool from inside the cover and separate the spool guide from the spindle. 4 Hold 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. 5 Slide 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. 6 Insert the label spool into the slot in the printer cover with the labels extending from underneath the roll. 7 Align the left edge of the label with the left edge of the label exit slot and insert the label into the slot. The printer automatically advances the labels, stopping at the beginning of the first label.

Power Status Light Flashing If the power status light is flashing, the problem could be one of the following: Problem Solution No labels The label roll is out of labels or there is no label roll inserted. Always use authentic DYMO labels. Overheated print head Turn the printer off and wait 3-5 minutes before turning the printer on again. System error Turn the printer off and then on again. If none of the other issues above correct the problem and the light is still flashing, contact Customer Support. Clearing Label Jams To clear labels that have become jammed in the printer Press label release forward 1 Tear off any labels that have already fed through the printer. 2 Press the label release lever forward and pull the jammed label out of the label exit slot. Correcting Poor Print Quality Poor print quality is most frequently caused by one of the following: An old roll of labels Labels made by a manufacturer other than DYMO Labels where the thermal coating has been compromised A dirty print head First, make sure you are using DYMO-branded labels. Do not use third-party labels because the thermal coating on other labels has a different sensitivity than DYMO-branded labels. Also, the perforated holes between the labels made by other manufacturers are frequently not detectable by LabelWriter printers. If the print quality becomes faint, small dots of white appear scattered through the printed characters, or light and dark patches of printing appear, you are probably using a faulty roll of labels. Try using a different roll from a fresh box. If the second roll prints correctly, the problem is with the first roll of labels. Another possibility is that the LabelWriter print head needs cleaning. See Caring for Your Printer on page 21 for information about cleaning the label path with a LabelWriter cleaning card. 25 DYMO LabelWriter Wireless User Guide Labels Do Not Feed Correctly If your labels do not feed correctly, check the following: Make sure your labels are loaded properly and that the left edge of the label is aligned with the left edge of the label exit slot. See Loading Labels on page 10. Make sure you are using authentic DYMO labels. The perforated holes between the labels made by other manufacturers are frequently not detectable by DYMO printers. When the perforations are not detected, the labels will not feed correctly. Using third-party labels may also void your warranty. Printer Does Not Print or Stops Printing If your printer does not print or stops printing while in use, follow the steps below to track down the problem. 1 Make sure the printer is still getting power and that the power cable has not been disconnected. If the power status light on the side of the printer is not lit, check to make sure the power cable is plugged in, and that your power strip is working. To make sure the problem is not with the outlet or power strip, try plugging something else into the wall outlet and power strip. Make sure you are using the power adapter and cable that came with your printer. Power adapters from older LabelWriter printers may not be compatible with the LabelWriter Wireless printer. 2 Confirm that the printer is feeding labels properly by pushing the label forward feed button while the printer is on. If the labels are jammed, the power status light will blink. Refer to Clearing Label Jams on page 25. 3 Make sure that your USB cable has not come loose from the back of your printer or from your computer. Refer to the installation instructions in the Quick Start Guide to make sure the cable is connected properly. 4 (Windows) Check that your LabelWriter printer driver is installed correctly. The LabelWriter printer driver takes print data from your software and directs it to the LabelWriter printer. The driver is automatically installed when you install the DYMO Label software. However, the driver may have been changed or deleted by mistake. From the Windows menu, choose Devices and Printers. b Right-click the LabelWriter printer icon, and then choose Printer Properties. From the Properties dialog box, click Printing Preferences. d From the Preferences dialog box, click Advanced. The Advanced dialog box appears. If no errors are displayed in the Advanced dialog box, the printer driver is installed correctly. 26 DYMO LabelWriter Wireless User Guide Performing a Printer Self-Test If you experience problems with broken characters or other print quality issues, perform a printer self-test.
