How To add counters to your LabelWriter Labels using Dymo Label Software (Tutorial)
In this training session I’ll show you how to use counters in the Dymo Label Software. Counters allow you to show a number on the label and have it increment each time a label is printed.
For the purposes of this training session we will use a fictional Auction company that wants to print Lot Number labels for each auction on a LabelWriter Twin label printer (though this functionality works exactly the same for the rest of the LabelWriter range, I just happen to have a Twin connected to this… Continue reading
Dymo LabelWriter prints skewed labels and reports out of paper
If you are experiencing “wonky text”, the label moving about, and the printer reporting out of paper when there are still plenty of labels loaded then the cause is incorrect loading of the labels. Please see the following diagram on how to correctly load the labels:
If there is a gap between the labels and the edges of the spools the labels will drift along the spool, this will then cause the labels to drift across the printhead (leading to skewed text) and also drift past the paper sensor which… Continue reading

Why do my Dymo labelmaker labels keep falling off?
A common mistake when purchasing a label maker is to just buy the cheapest one available and assume it will do the job.
In fact the better way is to decide what you want to label, then find out which are the best types of label for that application, then find a label machine that can print those labels.
For example the Letratag range are low end consumer labels designed for smooth, clean, flat surfaces, while the Dymo D1 (Labelmanager) range is designed more for the office environment – but… Continue reading
