Printer Issues

The following are solutions to some common issues you may encounter while working with the label printer.

Power Status Light Flashing

If the power status light is flashing, the problem could be one of the following:

Overheated print head - Turn the printer off and wait 3-5 minutes before turning the printer on again.
System error - Turn the printer off and then on again. If none of the other issues above correct the problem

Several of the LabelWriter Web Configuration settings can be changed. You can change the password, rename the printer, change the language, or change the session timeout.

Changing the Password

For security reasons, we recommend that you change the password for accessing the LabelWriter Web Configuration utility. You cannot change the user name.

Caring for Your Printer

The LabelWriter printer is designed to give you long and trouble-free service, while requiring very little maintenance. You will get the best possible performance from your LabelWriter printer if you follow the setup instructions that appear in Getting Started on page 10, and the cleaning procedures described in this section.

To keep your LabelWriter printer working properly, you should clean it from time to time. Dusting the outside of the printer occasionally will help keep foreign matter from getting inside the printer. However, it is still a good idea to periodically perform some basic interior maintenance, such as cleaning the label path with a LabelWriter cleaning card (available from the Dymo Shop).

The first time you connect to the LabelWriter Wireless printer, a Quick Setup wizard guides you through the connection process. You can re-run this Quick Setup wizard at any time from the menu to connect to a different network. You can also skip the Quick Setup wizard and configure the printer for a network.
