This little personal label printer is so unassuming. No one wants one when they first hear about them; no one will give one up once they have one. It is great for printing out a quick package mailing label. The Dymo sales folks say their printers are "just like a microwave. When they were invented, everyone said they already had an oven, who needs another?" |

Easy to install, easy to use, the tiny printers (about 6.5" tall, 4.5" wide) sit next to your computer and churn out labels. The label stock is pre-loaded, so there is no fooling around with sheets of paper, and no waste of expensive Avery-style label stock. You activate the printer from GoldMine by clicking on File/Print Labels. The data from your current contact shows up on the pop-up label screen, where you can print or edit the content further. Choose from literally dozens of pre-defined label formats, including shipping and diskette labels. |

Some things to keep in mind--there are three models to choose from. if you are after speed, the turbo model (30 labels per minute) may be for you. But be careful, because the turbo version does not work with Netware. You'll have to settle for the middle-sized version, which looks the same but is slightly slower (12 labels per minute). In some cases, I had to manually put the "Print Label" menu item into the proper ".ini" file in GoldMine to make the link work properly. You'll need a free serial port for this printer. We preferred the middle sized model, since it can handle the wider shipping label for just a few dollars more. Since we typically print labels one or two at a time, we had no need for the speed of the Turbo model. |
Incidentally, it can be shared across the network (if your employees don't overrule you!). |
