DYMO Driver Installation Video

The video below walks through the correct process for installing the Dymo LabelWriter driver required for use with HQ.

HERE IS A VIDEO ON HOW TO INSTALL THE DYMO LABELWRITER DRIVER

The Dymo Wireless LabelWriter is the best option for printing labels.

  • It does not need to be connected to a single computer.
  • It works well with Surface Go tablets.
  • It allows the use of third-party label brands.

The Dymo 550 model requires Dymo-brand labels only, which makes it a less desirable option.

Step 1: Order Label Printer and Compatible Labels

  • Recommended Printer: Here's link on Amazon
  • Recommended labels: There are many sizes of labels, but our suggestion is to order 2 ¾ x 2 1/8 with a “caduceus watermark.” HERE'S A LINK to view and order at Amazon. Note: 550 Label writers cannot run these labels.
