Dymo LabelWriter 450 Troubleshooting

Label(s) jammed

Printer jams typically happen when labels become wrapped around the roll that feeds the labels out of the printer. It can be tricky to clear if there are a lot of labels, and you could damage the printer, so please be careful. To clear a printer jam on the Dymo LabelWriter 450:

1. Unplug the printer from its power source
2. Open the top of the printer

1. Remove any labels still in the feed system and pull this lever forward, which will let you manually remove the labels

1. Remove the front cover. This isn’t easy, it might feel like you are going to break it so be careful
2. With two or three fingers (not one! the plastic can crack) remove the front cover by gently lifting it a few millimetres at a time, and then pulling it towards you

1. The rubber roller is difficult to move manually but you’ll need to in order to get it free
2. Cut the label in one line from one end to the other along the length of the roller
3. Once this is done, peel off the labels as best you can
4. This can be a long process depending on how many labels are wrapped around the reel

1. Once this is cleared, put the front back on
2. Reload the label roll
3. Try printing again
