From order to unpack and the first printing it has not lasted long and the start-up was really not difficult.
The unit is supplied in a great case which is not mega-stable This is because the material is soft, but very light and handy, and the interior layout is also convenient as next to the device and the power supply are also cutouts for label rolls.
And so we start, the first steps are simple:
Load device with the enclosed power supply. Yes, here you have to, as always with new devices with rechargeable batteries have patience and once upload.
Cassette with the desired label width (4 versions are in the package) on the back of the printer insert.
Through a window, you can always read color and size of the loaded bands.
First label printing according to Quick Start Guide without any problems.
Now for the intricacies .. we want the device to connect to the PC and then print really great label:
PC connection with Windows 7:
Connecting with a USB cable
The switched-on device is detected properly and the drivers are installed
After the LabelWriter appears as a separate drive in My Computer.
Via PC, the printer can be controlled via 2 versions: a light version, which is located on the device and a full version that is on the enclosed CD.
Software Label Light:
In this drive, the program is "DYMO Label Light.exe"
After double the program starts without installation
The displayed units immediately notice the English "customs" on
The menu Edit / Preferences allows the units to "metric" change.
Bottom left can be, as well as in the printer display, see the battery status. However, to show both displays, despite 14-hour charge, only 2 of 3 beams. How long the battery holds then ultimately, we can not yet be assessed, since it is not running in the endurance test (which would then unfortunately too expensive with the label rolls) ;-)
Software Version 8.3.0:
With included is a detailed software on CD.
After calling the inquiry is made: Quick or Custom installation? We take the first option.
Once you have agreed to the license terms, the program starts and automatically identifies the Label Printer.
Here you can now let your imagination run wild. So even clipart, forms, images, text sheets and even barcodes can be inserted into the print issue among many text shapes and sizes. Text window and Clip window can be placed in any order.
A mouse click on "Print" and that is when the label from the device. Additionally, you can choose whether a label is to be printed several times.
With one touch of the button cutting the label is cut very clean and you can see above. Very good is the centrally running parting line of the cover sheet. Once buckled in the middle to separate the two halves and you can easily pull out of the adhesive label, without as usual to knibbeln at the corners and to deface them or wrinkling.
Very nice, I also think that the case directly attach multiple bands (which you can see the description above), so one can ever make a great picture of the different widths and colors. Very good I like it here, that there are clear bands on which you can see only the writing. That just looks elegant and noble.
Conclusion:
Even if one does not have to continuously inscribe something worth this acquisition all times. At last we can see the incredible number of plugs and cables under the desks reasonable label, so you can find them right away, if you're looking one. Even tins (the transparent) can now be simply and nicely labeled, so you do not always have to test where now salt and where sugar is. The device is simple and quick to use and offers so many options that it really fun to use it!
