The DYMO 450 Turbo lets you print product labels from your desktop device through a USB connection. You'll need to install the latest DYMO software in order to print. Once that's done, you can set up and test your DYMO printer.

Before installing up your DYMO 450 Turbo printer, make sure you have supported labels. While DYMO makes a range of different label sizes, Retail POS is compatible with these labels: 11352 (1" x 2-1/8"), 30336 (1" x 2-1/8"), and 30373 (jewelry/rat-tail).

Installing the latest DYMO software

Before you set up your DYMO printer, you'll need to make sure you're using the latest version of DYMO Connect.

1. Go to the DYMO downloads page.
2. Choose The Latest Software & Drivers for all LabelWriters and LabelManager dropdown.

   

3. Click the Download button under your device.
4. Open the downloaded file and follow the steps in the DYMO Setup Wizard to install the software.

Once you've installed the software and drivers, you're ready to install your DYMO Label Printer.
