The user guide can also be downloaded from the Dymo support website. Alternatively, follow the simple steps in our guide below to change your Dymo label tape.

 1. Open your Dymo label maker by pressing the “tape cassette cover”

Dymo printers do not use ink or toner. Instead, the printers use heat from a thermal print head to print on specially coated Dymo label tapes. The only consumables needed to print is a Dymo cassette tape or label rolls.

Dymo LabelWriter printers use label rolls and Dymo LabelManager printers use cassette tapes.

The Dymo label rolls are loaded onto a spool for printing and can be used for a range of applications like name badges, shipping and postage labels. Most Dymo LabelWriter printers print on wide media. View our Dymo printer range.

The Dymo label tapes are enclosed in a cassette and need to be inserted into the Dymo LabelManager printer. A common range of Dymo label tape applications are, warning labels, stationary and personalisation labels. Most Dymo LabelManager printers print on thinner media than the LabelWriters.
