Issue: IL Print Installation Failed

 

Cause: Java may not be installed on your computer

Solution: Download the latest Java software from their website here.

 

 

 

 

 

Issue: DYMO Cannot Be Found

Cause: The driver may not be installed correctly.

Solution: Perform an uninstall/reinstall to ensure that the print driver is completely installed.

• Disconnect the power cable from your printer.
   
• Fully delete all current driver downloads completely from your computer -  This step is CRUCIAL. If you only install the correct driver version without first uninstalling the one you already have, your issue will not resolve.
  • Uninstall instructions for Mac OSX Sierra 
• Download and install the latest version of DYMO directly from the DYMO website. For your convenience, the files are located below: 
  • Mac 8.7.2 download file

 

• Find the DYMO software download in your download folder (or the location on your computer designated for downloaded files). Double click the file and follow the install instructions.
• Make sure your printer is installed on your computer (after a driver update, many times it is not. This will cause it to not be recognized in IL)

• Mac->Launchpad->System Preferences->Printers & Scanners->Click the + sign in the lower right of your printer list.

  
  Since your printer is plugged in during this step, your Mac should automatically recognize your printer to select.

   

• Re-Run Print Setup in InventoryLab (Settings-> Print Settings -> Set Up a Printer)
