Finding Your Label Type

A preview of each of the different label types is displayed in the Label Types section on the Labels tab. These previews help you to visually choose the label that matches the labels loaded in your label printer.

The label types displayed are based on the type of label printer you have installed. If your label printer only prints LabelWriter labels, then only LabelWriter labels are displayed. If your label printer only prints D1 labels (for example, a LabelManager 420P or LabelManager PnP label maker), then only Tape labels are displayed. If you have more than one type of label printer installed or if you have a LabelWriter Duo printer installed, both LabelWriter labels and Tape labels are displayed.

The name and dimensions for each label type are located under the preview for each label type.

To find your label type

Find the name and dimensions for your label type on the packaging that your labels came in.
Locate your label in the Label Types list and verify that the name and dimensions match those that appear on your label packaging.
To further confirm that you have located the correct label type, do the following:
1. Click next to the label name or at the bottom of the Edit area.
  A list of DYMO part numbers for that label is displayed.
2. Locate the DYMO part number for your label on the label packaging.
3. Verify that the DYMO part number on your label packaging matches one of the part numbers in the list.
