LabelWriter Printer Features
Your LabelWriter printer is a direct thermal printer and does not use ink or toner.
Instead, the printer uses heat from a thermal print head to print on specially
treated labels. Labels are the only supplies you will ever need to buy.
The form-feed button on the front of the printer advances a single label. The label
eject button is used to remove labels from the printer when changing rolls.
The LED status light visually shows the current state of the printer:
• Solid blue - power is on and the printer is ready.
• Flashing blue - labels are not loaded properly or label spool is empty.

guide
Figure 8
Figure 9
The LabelWriter Twin Turbo printer holds two label rolls, so you can print two
types of labels without having to change the label roll. For example, load address
labels on the left side and postage labels on the right side.
To load a label roll
1 Press the form-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.
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 flush
against the side of the spool. See Figure 8.
5 Place 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. See Figure 8.
NOTE The label roll must fit snugly against both sides of the label
spool, with no gaps, to avoid drifting as the labels feed through the
printer. See Figure 8.
6 Insert the label spool into the slot in the printer cover with the
labels extending from underneath the roll. See Figure 9.
5
7 Align the left edge of the label with the left edge of
Figure 10
the label feed slot and insert the label into the slot.
See Figure 10.
The printer feeds the labels, stopping at the beginning
of the first label. If the printer does not feed the labels,
make sure the first label is fully inserted and then
press the form-feed button.
8 Repeat Steps 3 through 7 to load a second roll of labels (for example,
postage labels).
9 Close the top cover.
You are now ready to print address or postage labels on demand.
5. Printing your First Address Label
To print your first address label
1 Start DYMO Label Software by doing one of the following:
• For Windows, click Start, then Programs>DYMO Label>DYMO Label.
• For Macintosh, double-click in the DYMO Label folder.
The first time you open the application, you are asked to register the
software. Registering the software ensures that you will be informed of any
software updates. You are also asked to enter your default return address.
2 At the main window, click once on the address label and type an address.
3 Choose a font setting that you like from the Formatting toolbar.
6
4 Choose Left Roll or Right Roll from the Label Roll drop-down list to select
Insert text, addresses,
pictures, rectangles,
lines, barcodes, dates,
or counters.
Insert text you’ve
copied to the
Clipboard.
Store your favorite
addresses in the
Address Book;
automatically insert
them on your label.
If you also have a tape
printer, two buttons
allow you to easily
switch between the
Label and Tape Editors.
Verify and correct
addresses as you add them
to the Address Book.
Figure 11
Select the label
roll for your label
the side of the printer where the address labels are loaded. See Figure 11.
