Add-In for

Palm

Desktop

DYMO Label Software includes an add-in program that
allows you to quickly print mailing labels and name
badges directly from Palm Desktop. You access the add-in
using the DYMO Label button installed on the Palm
Desktop toolbar.

Installing the

Palm Desktop

Add-In

The Palm Desktop Add-In is normally installed at the
same time that you install the main DYMO Label
Software. If the Add-In is already installed, you will see a
small LabelWriter

button on the right side of the Palm

Desktop toolbar.

If you don’t see this icon, you will need to reinstall your
DYMO Label Software making sure that the

Add-In for

Palm Desktop

box is checked.

"

When you reinstall the DYMO LabelWriter Software, all
of the supplied templates are also reinstalled. If you have
made any changes to the supplied templates and not
saved the changes with a new file name, copy the
changed templates to another location before you
reinstall the software so you don’t lose your changes.
Then once the installation is complete, copy the
templates back into the Labels folder.

When you see the LabelWriter button in the main toolbar
of Palm Desktop, you know the installation was a success.

Printing Labels

from Palm

Desktop

You can use the Palm Desktop Add-In to print the
addresses of one or more contacts in your Palm Address
Book.

To print labels from Palm Desktop:

1.

Click the

Address

button in the Palm toolbar or select

Address Book

from the

View

menu to display the Palm

Address Book.

2.

Click the

DYMO LabelWriter

button that was added to

the toolbar.
