See if it still happens using a fresh label roll. From the Dymo 450 User Guide the common causes of poor print quality issues.
Poor print quality is most frequently caused by one of the following:
• An old roll of labels
• Labels made by a manufacturer other than DYMO
• Labels where the thermal coating has been compromised
• A dirty print head
First, make sure you are using DYMO-branded labels. Do not use third-party labels because the thermal coating on other labels has a different sensitivity than DYMO-branded labels. Also, the perforated holes between the labels made by other manufacturers are frequently not detectable by LabelWriter printers.
If the print quality becomes faint, small dots of white appear scattered through the printed characters, or light and dark patches of printing appear, you are probably using a faulty roll of labels. Try using a different roll from a fresh box. If the second roll prints correctly, the problem is with the first roll of labels.
Another possibility is that the LabelWriter print head needs cleaning. Every LabelWriter printer comes with a cleaning card. See "Caring for Your Printer" on page 17 for information about the
LabelWriter cleaning card.
Hi Kaylene, i`ve experience that before.. Just set the print set-up/ preview into horizontal.. The dialog box of print preview will show you the position of your text before printing Dymo Label! goodluck!!
Having the same problem here... very random... send a print job of labels and it will print the whole lot, or freeze at random points but always halfway through a label... no error message... unplug usb and replug doesnt do anything, but unplug and replug power and off it goes printing more lables but may even freeze again after only a few more have come out... also, every day the first print job of the day prints half the label and pauses for about 10 seconds then keeps going...
- Windows XP Pro SP3
- LabelWriter 400 as supplied out of the box
- Genuine DYMO labels
Delete Queued Print Job
If a print job is corruptand does not print clearly, does not print at all or is preventingother queued jobs from printing, delete the queued job.
On the Windows taskbar, double-click the printer icon located to the left of the time.
At the Printer window, select the print job, under 'Document Name' column, to highlight it.
From the 'Document' menu, select 'Cancel'.
Repeat steps two and three to cancel another print job.
Ifthe print job cannot be cancelled or will not stop printing, shut downthe compuer, disconnect the printer cable and then restart the computer.
Close the Printer window.
Shut down the computer.
Disconnect the printer cable (USB or parallel cable).
Restart the computer.
If a message window appears asking to cancel printing, select 'Yes'.
Verifythe printer icon no longer appears on the Windows taskbar. If the iconappears, double-click it and cancel the remaining print jobs asinstructed on steps two and three.
After all print jobs have been cancelled, reconnect the cable to the printer and then try to print again.
Ifthe print job does not complete, it may be necessary to disconnect theprinter cable, power off and on the printer and then reconnecting thecable.
Have you checked to see how many jobs you have in the print queue that have not printed? Delete all of those jobs. The current label won't print if you have others that have not printed. Hope this helps.
It could be how you have loaded the labels. If you have loaded the labels and there is a small gap between the spindle and the roll, it will print one label and give a error-printer message and stop working until you unplug it for 30 seconds and plug it back in. I would reload the labels from scratch and ensure there is no gap.
Your dymo labelwriter came with an add-in for word. just highlight the addresses you want to print, click the little label printer icon in the toolbar and it'll do the rest
