Super easy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] DYMO Labelwriter 5XL is a super easy,label maker. The download instructions where so easy to follow, even for me. I’m not computer savvy at all. Even when typing it almost does the work itself. Just really easy to follow instructions. The set up was simple , plugs right in to computer tower. It’s smaller and compact, not taking up to much space on desk. The label’s printer clear and crisp. Not like normal printers that get smudged and cloudy when ink is low. The printer paper is easy to load, it discharge’s from machine nice and smooth, and they stick good. The wife has been using it for labeling all her none see through tubes, for storage. And with 12 grandchildren it works nice for shipping birthdays slash any holiday packages. All in all great product
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy to use and handy little machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is amazing how often I find myself using this label maker. I knew that I would be using it to print address labels but have been using it for so much more. I have labeled boxes that I have put into storage, file folders, tool boxes, and I could go on. It couldn’t be more easier to use, just be sure to throughly read through the instructions and install the software before ever plugging it into your computer. It is also noteworthy to mention that it will only work on a Mac or a computer that uses a windows operating system.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Two thumbs up to this lane printer. It was easy to set up and is easy to use. The label printer is versatile as you can load smaller labels if you like. It works well to make address and shipping labels as well as labels for any other need.

Great label printer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This label printer works great. It was easy to set up and start using right away. Print job is clean and quick. Two features that stood out is the automatic label recognition and that there is no need for ink or toner! Keep in mind, this machine only works with authentic DYMO labels. Package includes the printer, extra large shipping label starter roll, power adapter, power cable, and a USB cable. Overall, great results with this printer.

Good printer for what it does...with one caveat
on January 17, 2022

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This label writer is pretty straightforward, in a good way. It does what it supposed to do, does it well, and does it efficiently. I love that it's a thermal printer, meaning no ink needed. Setup was nice and easy - just download the Dymo software, plug in the power and connect it to your computer USB. Pop the roll of labels on the spindle, drop the spindle into the printer, use the advance feed button to get them into the right starting position, a couple mouse clicks, and you're ready to go. There are a lot of customizable features once you begin to create labels. I wouldn't consider myself a heavy shipper, maybe 5-10 items per week, but the ability to add bar codes, QR codes, serial numbers, basic pictures/logos, text design adds a lot of value. The screen layout of the label is nice as it prints exactly what you see and the thermal printing is nice and dark with no smudging. It prints plenty fast enough for my needs, maybe 2-3 seconds, and can probably easily fire off a couple dozen per minute. It also shows you within the software how many labels are remaining on the roll. I've printed USPS, FedEx, and UPS labels all without issue on nice 4"x6" self-adhesive labels. I do like that it's very simple to print one label, without having to load a whole sheet into my desktop printer. While it is not a wireless printer, it does have network connectivity, but it is wired and will have to be in proximity to your router or network port. The labels are not perforated in between but there are teeth in the feed opening to allow you to pull and tear in the appropriate spot very easily. If you're printing multiple labels at the same time, they will come out in one continuous strip. Now the caveat...it should be noted, the printer ONLY takes Dymo brand labels (per Dymo). Third-party labels of any kind will not work. I have not tried, as I don't ship large quantities of packages. The Dymo labels work just fine for me. It just may not be the most cost effective if you need to purchase larger quantities of labels.

Only works with new labels.
on December 27, 2021
Posted by: BLACKICE
from VA
I bought this today and converted from a 450 to the 5XL. The rolls I had laying around from that one will not work on the 5XL or apparently with any 5 Series. The 5 Series only works with the new RFID marked rolls and will lock you out from printing on your older rolls.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Excellent for quick printing

I've been using this unit for about 6 years and am still loving that it is so easy to print to it. Several features that have been beneficial: 1) Printing file folder labels on the spot instead of making a list and then printing; 2) Printing hanging file folder tabs that show the label on both sides of the tab; 3) Printing multiple copies of the same label from a single label rather than copying and pasting to each cell in a full sheet of paper; and 4) Placing a rubber band around the roll of single labels, dropping in my purse or computer bag and heading out with them for future use and not having to fuss with or try to protect the corners of 8.5 x 11 sheets of labels. This particular unit has two label options, so it's easy to print file folders then hanging tabs in a couple of easy steps without having to change label types in the printer.
