It runs on heat transfer. It probably needs new batterys. If youve been on a labeling spree you've most likel killed it.

this is a thermal printer... no ink cartridge... I'm having the same problem... light blotchy printing. Found a users manual online that suggests changing the batteries. On my way to purchase 6 AA batteries to see if this solves the problem.

Hello there even if you not see any thing jams it worth a try. There this may work for you, it has worked for many here I given this advice so gave it a try it could work for you. Generally when this happens, something has fallen into the printer, or a piece of paper has been jammed in there.

First step, remove the ink cartridge, and turn the printer upside down and gently shake it, see if anything comes out.

If nothing goes, or you can't hear anything rattling around, get a piece of cardstock paper (60lb or heavier) and gently push this through the printer, to see if it will help push out what might be stuck in there.
And gave the rode that the ink slides on a good clean and maybe a bit oil on cloth and wipe the rod with it.

Please come back and just gave a vote, it will gave me some satisfaction to know am helping some one so I will keep on helping.

This Unit does NOT take ink. That is one of it's "benefits." Since it uses heat transfer, im thinking it either needs new batteries, or it's heat device has been expended. This is a cheap little maker, so it isnt made to handle the abuse of an office: it's meant for a label from week to week. If you went on a label spree all over the house, you killed it. Hope this helps!

Fixed it!! I took the machine apart via 5 screws, pulled out a piece of label paper that was jammed down inside. Now it works fine.

Check the Dymo web site My feeling is that it wont be a repair job or if it is the money is better spent on a sharp craft knivf a strong scissors
