Dymo LabelWriter User Manual

Introduction
2
Thermal printing is based on the principle of heat
transfer from the thermal print head inside the
LabelWriter printer to the label. A row of
miniature heating elements on the print head is
pressed against the thermal labels. As a specific
element generates heat, a thermal reaction takes
place at that point on the label and the label
becomes discolored.
Labels The only supplies you will ever need for this
printer are the labels. We recommend you only
use DYMO brand labels.
How long your labels will last depends on how
the labels are used. Thermal labels are susceptible
to fading in two ways:
! Exposure to direct sunlight or fluorescent light
for an extended period of time will cause fading.
! Contact with plasticizers (for example labels
placed on plastic ring binders) will cause fading.
In the original packaging, the label shelf life is 18
months. When used for short-term applications
(envelopes, packages, etc.), fading has never
been reported as a problem. When used to label
files in a file cabinet, fading is very gradual over
many years. When applied to the edge of a
notebook that is then placed on a shelf in the sun,
fading begins within a few months.
When not in use, keep the labels stored in a cool
dry place and in the black bag in which they were
shipped to prolong label life.
