Using the LabelWriter with Other Applications

About the Database Add-In
DYMO Label Software includes a database add-in that enables you to print information from a
variety of databases onto labels. Once you install the add-in, you can quickly print address,
shipping, file folder, and other labels from the data in your database.
When selected, the database add-in is automatically installed when the DYMO Label Software is
installed. You access the database add-in from the
Merge Print from Database
command on the
File
menu in DYMO Label Software.
The complete instructions for using the database add-in are available in the online Help.
Printing Directly from Other Applications
At times you may want to print labels directly from another program to your LabelWriter printer,
without using DYMO Label Software or the LabelWriter add-ins. One example could be if you
maintain address lists within Microsoft Word or Access and want to print them all on labels without
importing the list to the DYMO Label Software Address Book.
Printing labels directly from applications like these is quite easy because the LabelWriter printers
come with standard Windows and Mac OS printer drivers that work with virtually any application.
Detailed instructions on printing directly from Microsoft Word can be found in the online Help.
Even if you are using a different application program than Word, reviewing the instructions in the
online Help will give you an understanding of how to use the LabelWriter printer driver with your
favorite program.
