How to remove a jammed tape from a Dymo labelmaker
Please find below the manufacturers instructions for removing a jammed D1 tape from a LabelPoint or LabelManager label maker:
- Open the tape compartment and carefully remove the D1 tape cartridge.
- Across from the print head is the feed mechanism. This feed mechanism should appear to be a dull black. A tape/ink ribbon jam is present if the feed mechanism appears to be a shiny black or any other color.

Discontinued: Dymo Label Manager 450D
The Dymo LabelManager 450D has now been officially discontinued. The top of the range machine has now been replaced by the new fancy touch screen Label Manager 500TS model, although this is quite a bit more expensive.
You might also want to take a look at the new LM420P as a replacement – it’s certainly cheaper than the old LM450, but it can’t print on 24mm tapes, and is handheld rather than desktop – If you need either of those you’re stuck with the LM500TS…

News: Dymo D1 Label Redesign affects old Label Makers
Dymo have recently redesigned the Dymo D1 labels, and although this has no effect on more recent labellers the new D1 Labels no longer fit the following (very) old Labelmakers -
Dymo 1000, 2000, 3000, 3500, 4000, 4500, 5000, 5500, Dymo Pocket
The D1 labels still have exactly the same codes, so if you have one of these old machines don’t be fooled into thinking that just because the last label that worked was say a 45013 that you just need to buy another 45013 and it will work, because… Continue reading
