Clean the printer with each refill

This printer works great, presents a professional look to my Etsy packages and is efficient. The most important advice I can offer is CLEAN THE PRINTER REGULARLY! With each new label roll, use the cleaning pad included with the printer--you can re-wet with isopropyl alcohol when it dries out--run it through the machine a few times before loading labels. I used to have frequent problems with extra labels advancing and not printing at top of label, to the point I was going to get a new printer. Dymo customer service gave me this advice and since then, no issues. I also only use genuine Dymo labels. Take care of the printer and it will work well for you!

Great Printer For Creating 4x6 Ebay Shipping Labels with a Mac

I sell a lot of items on Ebay and I recently purchased this printer for the sole purpose of creating 4x6 inch Ebay Shipping Labels on a Mac. I was worried about whether I could get it to work because I've read about the various problems other people have been having getting it configured and the fact that Label Printers are not officially supported on the Mac. I'm pretty good at figuring things out so I took a chance and bought it. Long story short, I had to come up with my own solution in the end, but I ultimately got it to work quite easily. And I am now happily printing out perfect 4x6 inch Shipping Labels on a Mac. The printer is working flawlessly and the labels I'm printing are perfect. Therefore, this is a printer I highly recommend even if you're using a Mac. Below are the step-by-step instructions on how to got it to work: ********* How To Print Perfect 4x6 Shipping Labels from Ebay usng the DYMO LabelWriter 4XL Printer and a Mac... Most users selling items on Ebay already have their computer set up to print labels to their laser printer and to other kinds of printers, and for PC users, that also includes to Label Printers as well, such as the DYMO LabelWriter 4XL printer. Unfortunately for Mac users, Label Printers are not officially supported. The good news is, there is an easy way for Mac users to make use of the DYMO LabelWriter 4XL printer as well, and can easily print out perfect 4 inch by 6 inch shipping labels every single time. The following explains how... For Mac users, when printing a label via Ebay, on the page that says "Purchase and Print USPS Postage", once you've clicked the button that says "Purchase Postage" to buy your label, a secondary page should open allowing you to print your label. It is on that secondary page that we will choose certain options which will allow us to print directly to the DYMO Laserwriter 4XL printer with a Mac, and we can get perfect results every time. The following are my step-by-step instructions... Step 1 - After clicking on the "Purchase Postage" button and arriving on the secondary page, click the button above the label window that says "Print Label". This will open up a Print Dialog Box to allow you to select your printing options. Note, we will NOT be printing from this particular Print Dialog Box at this time because we first have to "crop" the label. To accomplish this, ignore all settings and options in the current Print Dialog Box. Instead, at the bottom of the Print Dialog Box window, click the button that says "Preview". This will open the entire label including your receipt in a separate window in Apple's Preview program. We will now use the "Crop" tool in Apple's Preview program to "crop" the label from the page... Step 2 - Once the label is open in Apple's Preview program, you may notice that it is now oriented sideways. Don't worry about the orientation. It will still print correctly once we're done. In Apple's Preview program, choose the rectangular selection tool and select the area around the label where you want it to be cropped (I generally select an area about a 1/4 inch around the entire label). Once the area has been selected, choose "Crop" from the Tool menu (this crops out the receipt and all other unnecessary portions of the page). All that is left is your label, perfectly cropped, and ready for printing. Note, before you proceed further, make sure your DYMO LabelWriter 4XL printer is connected to your computer and turned on, and that all software has been installed... Step 3 - From the File menu (still in Apple's Preview program) choose the "Print" command. This opens up the Print Dialog box again. We will now choose certain printing options in this dialog box... a. In the Print Dialog box, from the pull-down menu that says "Printer", choose the DYMO LabelWriter 4XL as your printer. (Note, your DYMO LabelWriter 4XL must be connected and turned on at this time in order for it to show up under this menu)... b. VERY IMPORTANT - Under the pull-down menu for "Paper Size", scan down through the list of sizes and choose the preset that says: "1744907 4 in x 6 in". This option will match your cropped label to the 4 inch x 6 inch labels in the 4XL printer (otherwise, it will print at the wrong size). c. ALSO IMPORTANT - Under the Scaling Options, choose the "Scale to Fit" option and also the "Print Entire Image" option (this scales your label image down to fit within the 4 in x 6 in label space without any portion of it being cropped off). d. Under the pull-down menu that says "Preview", pull down the menu and choose "DYMO Options". For the "Print Quality" setting, change the menu from "Text Only" to "Barcode and Graphics". For the "Print Density" setting, change the menu from "Low" to "High" (this tells the DYMO LabelWriter 4XL to print the label with maximum density and with maximum contrast). e. All options have now been set. We are now ready to print. Click the "Print" button at the bottom of the window. Your DYMO 4XL printer should begin printing, and should print out a perfect 4x6 shipping label every single time... By following the above, I've been happily printing out perfect 4x6 shipping labels from Ebay using a DYMO LabelWriter 4XL printer and a Mac. And it's been working without a hitch... ********** IMPORTANT UPDATE: For those of you who are using the Mac program Garage Sale when selling items on Ebay, an excellent shipping option to complement Garage Sale is the shipping program called "Endicia" (it costs about $16 per month). Not only does Endicia provide direct USPS Parcel Select support (which Ebay won't offer until March), but I've also learned that Endicia is fully integrated into Garage Sale. Meaning, once you have both Garage Sale and Endicia installed on your computer, and you then make an Ebay sale, in the Inspector Palette of Garage Sale there is an option you can choose which allows you to "ship the item with Endicia". By choosing that option from within Garage Sale, Garage Sale will then automatically find and launch your Endicia application, and the best part of all is that (...GET THIS!!!...) when Endicia opens, it will already be pre-populated with all your Ebay sale data! That's right, you won't have to copy and paste anything because all your Ebay details for the transaction will already be imported into Endicia and you'll be ready to print your label. All you have to do is just verify everything you see, make any changes needed, and then Print your shipping label. It's so easy. And did I mention that the Endicia for Mac program also offers direct support for the DYMO LabelWriter 4XL printer. That's right. Ebay doesn't offer any Label Printer support for Mac users, Paypal doesn't offer it, Stamps.com doesn't offer it, but Endicia DOES! There is a preference option in the Endicia for Mac program where Mac users can now print directly to the DYMO LabelWriter 4XL printer without any fuss or problems at all. I've been printing 4x6 labels using Endicia and the 4XL and it's been working like a charm. The 4x6 shipping labels are coming out perfect (even better than printing them via Ebay as outlined above). Endicia and Garage Sale are like a match made in heaven. I've found very few things otherwise to complain about. If you want a great Ebay shipping option solution that truly works on a Mac and is designed for a Mac, then Garage Sale and Endicia and the DYMO LabelWriter 4XL printer is your ticket.

So Convenient

If you are someone who sells online or a customer who buys a lot online and makes a lot of returns, you NEED to get this. It made my life so much easier and the days of paper cuts and scissors are no more. This will make selling easy and will make any package you send look 10x more professional. I got this thing for a steal during Prime Day 2 years ago but if I had to pay full price I would. I've had this thing for 2 years and have not had a single issue. It also does more than just shipping labels and I have used it to print stickers and drawer labels, the possibilities are endless.

LOVE IT!!!! HAPPY DANCE!!!!!

So happy I was able to print correctly on my first try. Was hesitant on purchasing for several months after reading all the reviews on how much trouble other's were having getting shipping labels to print correctly. Watched a video by Anna "boondooglebliss," on youtube and that seemed to help, even though she was setting her's up to run off her Mac. I am using Windows 10. I checked that my system is a 64bit , went and chose the Windows Vista 64 bit for the driver off Dymo's wesbite. In ebay shipping changed the "printer & label receipt preferences," chose Zebra LP2844 4x6, then purchased shipping. When going to print label, printer window pops up and I chose 1744907 4x6 and left "fit to page," checked, it printed perfect the first try!!! :) So happy because I'm not really a very tech. savy individual, most of the time I have to have my 15 yr old daughter help me with most things tech. related. lol...

Should have bought this sooner!

We've been using a standard office printer to print our 4x6 shipping labels. With the problems of wireless network connectivity, expensive ink cartridges, and the hassle of keeping labels on-hand, we were fed up with the amount of time and money that was being wasted printing shipping labels. This is easy to set up, seems to be compatible with most selling platforms, and labels are relatively cheap. Would definitely recommend to anyone that operates an online business.

Amazing Label Printer

I bought this for my mom for Christmas. She sells things online and was printing her labels on regular sticker paper and then cutting them out, so this definitely makes the labeling process easier (and way more fun if you ask me). It prints very fast so I'm sure if you had a large number of labels to print at once they would come out in a very reasonable amount of time. It is nice and small and can fit almost anywhere you would want it. I would say that it is a bit hard to rip off the labels because you need to pull down to rip, but if the printer isn't on the edge of the surface then you kind of bump into the table and have no room to pull down on the label. We set it up as a wireless printer by connecting it to a desktop computer that was in the same home (wifi) network as the laptop she mainly uses. From the desktop computer we updated the printer preferences to allow for other computers on the network to have access to this device. Every now and then it doesn't print on the first label, but it doesn't seem to happen to often or to be too big of a problem.

Has changed the game in shipping for me.

I was purchasing Avery 4x6 label and using them in my inkjet printer. It was a hassle because I had to remove my letter sized paper and swap it for labels every time i needed a label. This has changed the game and I can now print a label that is much sharper in seconds. The cost of ownership is much cheaper than the Avery labels also. I did the math and the Avery labels came out to about 12 cent per label NOT INCLUDING ink. Labels for this machine do not require ink and cost approx 6 cents per label (when purchasing refills on Amazon for ~$17) Setup is fairly easy although the built in software for making labels is garbage and outdated. I only use it for shipping services so I just installed the printer driver and print my PayPal/Etsy/Mercari labels directly from my browser.

Awesome, love it.

We've been using this for a couple of years now, printed tens & tens of thousands of labels -- shipping labels and Amazon product labels. It makes our jobs so much easier. Rarely jams up, and if it does it's usually user error. We love it so much that we give it a name. It's compatible with: Paypal, ebay (set to Zebra), Dazzle/ Endicia, Amazon shipping labels. I have not tested with USPS online, since USPS website is so limited anyway that I rarely use it. Labels: It does state use with Dymo labels only, due to the 'eye' seeing where each label lines up. I personally use off brand. For shipping labels, I use these: Dymo Compatible 1744907 - 4" x 6" 4XL Internet Postage Shipping Labels (1 Roll - 220 Labels Per Roll). They must state Dymo Compatible. (By the way, I did not find Avery to be very good). I would say, I lose about 1 label for every 1,000 printed. With regular printers, I'd often lose 1 in 5 due to jamming, ink issues etc. We've easily made our money back many times over: saved paper, saved ink and saved time.

Should have bought one long ago

This Dymo LabelWriter 4XL is a great little thermal printer. I average 100 to 200 sales monthly on a couple online marketplaces. I've been printing the labels on regular paper, cutting them out, and then taping them onto the bubble mailer with clear packing tape. I thought that the only advantage of a label printer over the way I was doing it was that there'd be not need to cut out the label or tape it onto the mailer. Since I assumed label printers used toner or ink cartridges, I didn't see the value in it. Then I got an email from ShipStation that I could get X amount off on some products on stamps.com. That's when I read about thermal printers not using toner, that the toner, if that's what it is, is in the labels. I figured it out and by using Dymo brand labels, each label would cost 8¢, a big savings over the way I'd been doing it. Then I researched compatible labels and found Dasher Products brand (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MAZEN5X/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). These are actually better than Dymo and now each label costs only 3¢. I've read that some people thought the set up was difficult, I didn't find it difficult, but at first I thought I'd done something wrong because a very small amount of the top of each label was cut off. They were still usable but looked sloppy with the top of the F for first class cut off by about 4 mm. Then I found out that this was only a problem when printing from Chrome, it was not an issue with Firefox or IE. But I use Chrome, so I went to Devices and Printers, clicked on the Dymo, then went to the Print Server Properties link at the top, and from there I created a new Form with a width of 3.95", height 4.95", all margins 0. I set this as the default for the Dymo rather than the 4 X 6 , and now my labels print perfectly on Chrome. This is an EXCELLENT price for this printer. I paid $179.99 on Amazon, the Dymo website sells it for $279.99 and the cheapest I could find a new one was $240 (stamps.com sells it for $299.99). In conclusion, this printer not only saves me a lot of time, but also a lot of money.

How have I lived without this all these years??

I have shipped tens of thousands of packages over the last 12 years or so for my ecommerce business. I thought I was very productive with a laser printer and the 2 per page labels. Boy was I wrong! This thing prints within 2 or 3 seconds from the time I press the print button. The labels are clear and crisp and of course the perfect size. The cost of the labels are about the same, but this doesn't use toner. And the time saved.... whoah! I might have time to take up bowling now! **Note I would have accepted a free printer for testing, but I paid full price! HA HA**
