If you do not automatically have downloads set to Open once complete, you can click on the three dots next to the file and select Open to launch the installation wizard.

Note: If the download does not appear in your browser bar, navigate to Finder > Downloads > and double click IL Print 1.0.pkg. 

After you open the download, a pop up will appear that guides you through installing the application. Click continue to move through the installation process.

If you do not have Java installed, a prompt will appear for you to download Java first. This is required to continue with installation.

Next, find and click 'IL Print Service'.

The icon should appear in your Dock.

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)
