Dymo Label Maker: Service manuals or information on older Dymo Labelers like 1500 series

Fri, 09 Jan 2026 21:44:19 -0700

I have an older 1500 series labeler - and it makes wonderfully retro labels, but lately it jams and gets stuck so the letters aren't spaced correctly.

This is an older embossing labeler - so I know its a bit odd to ask here :) - its kind of a mechanical marvel - but I'm having the worst time finding any service documentation for them.

Dymo Label Maker: Issue with Dymo 550 Printing from Goodwillshops on Microsoft Edge

Mon, 01 Dec 2025 07:48:55 -0700

My Dymo 550 printer is not printing from Goodwillshops when using Microsoft Edge. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the related applications and restarted the computer. Is there an additional step I might be missing? For example, should the printer be unplugged during the firmware installation and only reconnected after the installation and system restart?

Dymo LabelManager 160: Why are the buttons typing the wrong characters or input?

Thu, 11 Sep 2025 11:26:43 -0700

I have had my Dymo LabelManager 160 for a while. Lately, it has been glitching in which pressing a certain key produces the wrong function. When I press the L key, it activated the rotate function. Also, the punctuation key displays the number 9. Pressing the delete key activated the underline key. Pressing the O key printed the label!

I even tried a factory reset by removing the batteries and pressing and holding the power button for 10 seconds. Then, I reinserted the batteries and pressed power + 9 + backspace. Still did not fix the issue.

I would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you for your help!

Dymo Label Maker: Dymo MobileLabeller chews every cartridge

Thu, 24 Jul 2025 09:43:53 -0700

Today I tried to use my Dymo ML 193C to print with a genuine Dymo nylon cartridge. Instead of the label coming out of the end, it got drawn up into the feeder roller and wound round and round. After multiple retries, repairing the cartridge multiple times and trying another cartridge with the standard tape, I’m finding the same thing happens every time now. I did find a little sticky-backed foam strip, which I guess came off the machine during the first incident, but it’s not clear where it goes or how this could make the difference.

Here’s a picture from immediately after a jam, with the foam strip included above the “D1”.

Dymo Label Maker: Can a Dymo LetraTag LCD be replaced?

Wed, 23 Jul 2025 01:42:08 -0700

Going through my late wife's things, I found a LetraTag label printer. The signage doesn't say which model, but it looks like a LetraTag 80.

I put in batteries and gave it a try, and.. after lord knows how many years, it works perfectly, except for the LCD, which displays only scattered pixels.

I'm afraid I know the answer to this question, but... is there any practical way to replace the LCD? The device would be useful, and I hate to throw it out because just one component is failing.
