DYMO LABELWRITER 330
Reviewed by Bill Catambay
Overview
The DYMO LabelWriter 330 is a compact printer designed to print labels directly from your Mac or PC,
so there's no more fussing with trying to load label sheets into your normal document printer. With the
LabelWriter's resolution of 300 dpi, your labels will come out crisp and clearly legible, whether you're
printing nametags, address labels, or barcodes.
The 330 can print directly from many standard business applications such as Word and Outlook, so you
can use a variety of fonts and print sizes, and even add pictures. Less than 5 inches across, and
weighing less than 5 pounds, it fits snugly on even small desks. It comes with all cables, as well as the
software and labels to get you started. DYMO provides a one-year warranty on parts and service.
The LabelWriter 330 handles more than 40 standard label sizes up to 2.3 inches (56mm) wide, including
address, postage, shipping, file folder, disk, video, name badge, cassette, and many more. It comes with
DYMO Label software and integrates directly with Microsoft Word, Outlook, the Palm Desktop, GoldMine,
ACT, and CardScan. And it works with all other software through standard printer drivers.
Retail price is $179.99 (Amazon price is $159.99).

Initial Setup
I hooked the Dymo 330 up to my G4/867 via my USB hub and installed the Dymo software on Mac OS
9.2.2 (this is DLS 5). At first the software didn't recognize the labelwriter. To remedy the situation, I
went into the Chooser to select the Dymo Laberlwriter and tried to print a small file within SimpleText as
a test. That seemed to work fine. I then went back into the Chooser to reselect my HP printer since I
didn't want all my printing to go to the Labelwriter. After that initial test print, the Dymo software had no
problems seeing the printer. I typed in an address, clicked the Dymo print button, and the address label
printed out perfectly.
I switch between OS 9 and OS X, so later I booted up OS X and installed the OS X version of the Dymo
software (DLS 6). I went into the software to create a label, and ran into a small snag. Basically, the text
in the software was condensed on each line into just the first character cell (the label printed out the
same way). After contacting the vendor, I was informed that the Dymo software for OS X only worked in
10.1.5 -or- 10.2.5 and higher. I happened to have been on 10.2.2, which put me in the doesn't-work-
right zone. After downloading Apple's 10.2.6 update and installing it, I then went back into the software,
and all the text was showing up correctly, and it printed like a charm.
