About Labels
n
Exposure to direct sunlight or fluorescent light for an extended period of time
n
Exposure to extreme heat for an extended period of time
n
Contact with plasticizers (for example, labels placed on plastic ring binders)
In the original packaging, the shelf life for LabelWriter labels is 18 months. When labels are
used for short-term applications (envelopes, packages, and so on), fading is not a problem.
When labels are used to label files in a file cabinet, fading is very gradual over many years.
Labels applied to the edge of a notebook that is then placed on a shelf in the sun will show
signs of fading within a few months.
To prolong label life when labels are not in use, store the labels in a cool, dry place and in
the black bag in which they were originally packaged.
About Label Cassettes
The LabelWriter Duo and LabelManager label makers use DYMO D1 label cassettes.
D1 label cassettes come in a variety of colors and materials, and are available in the
following widths:
n
1/4 inch (6 mm)
n
3/8 inch (9 mm)
n
1/2 inch (12 mm)
n
3/4 inch (19 mm)
n
1 inch (24 mm)
The maximum width that you can use depends on your label printer. Refer to the user guide
that came with your printer for the label widths you can use.
Visit the DYMO Web site at for a complete list of label cassettes and the
names of dealers who sell them in your area.
The only supplies you will ever need for your printer are the labels. We recommend you
only use DYMO-brand labels.
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.
