LWL labels created on PC won't open on MAC version

Frustrated! Created entire line of jewelry barbell labels on PC version of Dymo Label Software. Gave USB printer to wife and CD to install on her MacBook Pro. Installed fine runs fine on ALL files (DLF extension on Mac) she creates on Mac... BUT can not OPEN any of the LWL extension files I created on the PC. An absolute waste of a month of design and label creation!!! Anyone got a clue as to how to address this issue? Troubleshooting has not been successful thus far. All label files reside in correct folder in specified location. Of course simply changing the extension does not help. Could not find any reference to SAVE FOR MAC version. Help?!?!? Thanks.

    I have the same problem in reverse: many labels for our office designed on an iMac as DLF files. The label files will not open on the new PC in our office. VERY frustrating!!! The address book export / import suggested by Dymo did not work.

    Yes... frustration... same problem.

SOURCE: DYMO DUO LABELWRITER

The labels have a 2 yr warranty, so contact Dymo customer support and if they can't help you return the printer to the retailer you purchased from for a new printer. The Dymo LabelWriter DUO is an expensive printer that Dymo stands behind.

I had the same problem and accidently discover it was something very simple...at least in my case. I noticed the power cord connection was very good.. I notice the light on the transformer (cord) was sometimes green then it would go out. When I unplugged and then put some force into reconnecting the printer worked. Hope that helps.

depending on what version of office your using you will find a label tab under mailings (in office 07) or under tools (previous versions) you should be able to specifiy a label type or build a custom label.

SOURCE: dymo label 400 turbo.

It doesn't use ink so that's not the problem. more than likely it's one of 2 things. 1. you created a custom label layout and the text is just over the edge of it's printable area. Therefore, only hal of it prints. #2 Your using the wrong size label template on the software. make sure that the size you have loaded in your label printer matches the template shown size for size, inch for inch. The printer doesn't know (or care) what label you have showing on your software. It only knows what's loaded in your printer. So for example, if you have a shipping label on the software and put text to the bottom og it, it won;t print if you have an address label laoded in the printer.

Dymo PC 10 electric label maker. Looking for cables?

Are you sure is is a 'PC 10'? I can't find that model. All the ones I have used were battery operated desktop use or hand held. Is this a cable that connect the label maker to a PC, so you design on the computer and print to the Dymo? If that is the case, It _should_ be a standard printer lead.

Ghin program unable to open dymo. system error 5

Hello,

This sounds like Microsoft issue. However you can try several things to try to solve it.
1. Please make sure that you have full admin rights on the PC, especially to the AppData folder, which is located C/:Users /User name/ AppData/
You need to grant accesses also to the folder Local, where all Dymo related files are stored.
2. You can try to re-install the Dymo Label Software by using the LWSupport uninstall tool, located in: C:\Programs\DYMO\DYMO Label Software\Support. Just double-click it to start the driver removing. Please note that before that, you need to close all running programs.
After that please delete also the Dymo folder under C:/Programs
Then navigate to C/:Users /User name/ AppData/ Local/ and delete Dymo and Sanford folders.
After you do that, you can uninstall the application from Control Panel/ Uninstall Programs.
Restart your PC and download the newest version of Dymo Label Software by clicking on the following link:
http://dymo.li/dls851win

Please make sure, that the device is unplugged during the installation.
I hope this will solve the issue. If not please contact us directly :

How do I change the size of the print on the label

Using the software that came with it modify the font settings.
Changing the Default Font Settings in DYMO Label Software Answer 299 ' Applies To DYMO ' Published 07/20/2005 10:16 AM EDT ' Updated 08/31/2010 05:05 PM EDTHow do I change the default font settings in the DYMO Label Software (DLS)?

Font settings can be adjusted for individual label templates and for the DLS application. Please note, changing the font settings for the DLS application will only affect the creation of new label templates. It does not change the font settings of any previously created and saved label templates.

Changing the Default Font Settings for Individual Label Templates in DLS

  1. Open DLS.
  2. In DLS, click and highlight the text on the label template.
  3. The tool bar above the label template allows you to change various font and justification settings. To change font type and font size you must click on the Font Settings icon: f_f.jpg
  4. Make the necessary changes to the font settings. The Sample field indicates how the text will appear on the label. Please note, the text will automatically shrink to fit if you select a font size that is too large for the address or text object on the label to accommodate.
  5. Click OK after making the necessary changes.
  6. Save the label template. Click on the File menu in DLS and select either Save or Save As. Selecting Save will save the label template with its existing name. Selecting Save As will allow you to enter a new name and create a new label template.
