There are 2 steps to setting up printing using a Dymo 450
- Download and Install or Update the Dymo Printer on the PC. The current version is 8.7.3
- Set the Printer Preferences to match those of the Temp ID Badge Labels Stock Size.
STEP 1 - Installation
The DYMO printer requires special printing drivers in order to print.
-
Download the software from Dymo's Website or the direct download link is http://www.dymo.com/en-US/dymo-label-software-v873-windows#
-
Open the downloaded software, and follow the DYMO Setup Wizard to install the software. The Drivers should be installed prior to Powering Up or Connecting the Printer to the Desktop
-
Connect your DYMO label Printer directly to your computer via the USB cable provided.
-
Load your labels into your printer. The configurations that we will utilize in the Printer Preferences are for Hero Labels that are 3.75 x 2.25 Inches.
- Tap the Blue Paper Feed button to calibrate the paper for use with Hero's Printer Labels.
STEP 2 - Configuration
Setting the print preferences in Windows
-
Open the Start menu and and navigate to the Control Panel.
-
Locate the Devices and Printers icon and open this.
-
Right click on the DYMO 450 printer and select Printer Properties.
-
In the Printer Properties window, click Printing Preferences at and then Advanced
-
This will open a window that allows you to set the Paper Stock Size to match the Temp Student ID which is 99014 (Shipping Label/Name Badge Label)
- The final step in configuring the printer requires that we change a few default values to benefit any Hero School that provides student images to Hero. Click on the Graphic/Print Quality Link form the drop down change the default settings from 300 x 300 dots per inch to 300 x 600 dots per inch. This may give you a temporary caution icon. The icon will disappear after configuring Printer Features/Print Quality from Text Only to Barcode and Graphics to optimize your Student Temp ID print jobs. Select OK and then APPLY and then exit the Control Panel.
