Dymo Printer Troubleshooting

Common Dymo Printer Issues with Navigate360 Visitor Management. For additional support please reach out to Tech@Navigate360.com

Handling Printer Jams:

Step 1: Lift the dome of the Dymo Printer.

Step 2: Un-feed the continuous paper / Labels from the printer. *

Step 3: Unclip the black fasteners to remove the front panel of the Dymo Printer.

Step 4: Gently pull the grey slider towards you to better display the roller.

Step 3 Step 4

Step 5: Press the black feeder buttons to help dispel any scraps of paper.

If the continuous paper is wound tightly around the roller, the best practice is to use a razor blade and slice the paper in half, down to the roller. Once completed, holding one end of the scraps of paper and pressing the feed button will help dispel the scraps of paper.

Step 6: Once all visible paper has been removed, run a Dymo Cleaning Card through the roller a few times to pick up any paper scraps stuck to the roller. **

Step 7: When rollers look clean, reverse steps 1-3 to piece the Dymo back together. 

* Pulling up lightly on the black lever will help release the roller tension to pull the paper out manually.

** Don’t have a Dymo Cleaning Card? A business card with a few drops of alcohol will work. A can of compressed air can also help dry and remove any stubborn scraps.
