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: 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”.

Hello I need a repair on my dymo labelwriter 4xl. When the label prints it comes out crooked, torn and scratched. I’ve opened the front part and can see there is a piece where he label is put through and comes out that, that part is part of the feeder and it’s bent and tearing . Is there a replacement part for this?
