Is this printer compatible with macOS?

What is the maximum label width?

Can I print on outdoor-rated labels?

What software do I need to use this?

Troubleshooting

Printer is not detected by the computer

Check that the USB cable is securely connected to both the printer and the computer, and ensure the power cable is firmly plugged into a functional wall outlet.

Labels are printing with white lines or faded text

The print head may be dirty. Use a DYMO-approved cleaning card or a soft cloth dipped in isopropyl alcohol to gently wipe the thermal print head.

Label jamming inside the device

To set up your device, install the DYMO Label 8 software from the official website or the provided media.
