Dymo Label Writer

The DYMO LabelWriter printer is used to print appointment Reminder labels that fit nicely on the back of a business card.

If you did not get a CD with your printer, you can choose to either download the driver or install the driver from your STX CD.

  3. Toward the bottom of the screen, click the option for LabelWriter (Macintosh).
  4. Scroll through the list to find the appropriate software for the type of LabelWriter printer you have.
  5. Once you have found the appropriate software, click to download the Read Me First Document, as well as the File Download. Follow the instructions in the Read Me First Document, and install the downloaded driver.

Installing The Driver From The STX CD

  1. Insert the most recent STX CD and open it to the Third Party Software folder.
  2. Open the DYMO LabelWriter folder and double-click the Mac_DLS78.dmg file to begin the installation process.
  3. Once the driver is installed, connect the DYMO LabelWriter printer to an available USB port, either in the computer or in a self-powered USB Hub.
