Dymo Scales software released

Dymo has at last released a software utility for it’s range of scales (launched back in 2011).  It always seemed a bit weird that they came with USB cables to connect to a PC “just for power”, and even weirder that the requirements stated the scales were “compatible” with XP/Vista/Win 7 when at the time it was just a dumb device using usb for power.

The Dymo Rhino industrial range… Continue reading
