can i use 3rd party labels if i'm NOT printing postage?

I am pretty confident that 3rd party labels for NON-postage uses are okay.The stamp labels require you to access an online account, while you can print labels without even connecting to an online network.Short answer: 95% yes.

Sure, as long as they are thermal and good quality as jams are really messy in the dymo printer. In my experience it pays to spend the extra few bucks and get the dymo brand labels. Good luck.

NO! NO, you CAN'T! Don't believe Dymo or Endicia. When I plunked down $150 for this printer, I signed up for their "FREE" postage account, which doesn't mean the postage is free by any stretch of the imagination. But you buy the postage through Endicia wihout having to have an annual fee. They still get a cut. But now, I've run the software update to get the new postage rates, and suddenly it WILL NOT PRINT WITHOUT USING OFFICIAL DYMO BRAND STAMP ROLLS! That's right, they will not let you print postage that you paid for on stamp rolls that you paid for on the printer that you paid for, unless you give them an extra little something. EXTORTION. NO!

Yes, we have about 30 Dymo Printers in the shop for Barcoding and Shipping Labels. Although 75% of the labels we use are from Dymo, we do use some 3rd Party Labels. The reason we use Dymo is three fold: 1) sometimes they are cheaper than 3rd Party; 2) Dymo offers odd size labels (such as the postage and Dymo 1738595 Barcode, which is hard to find, even by Dymo; half the labels we print are these barcode labels)); 3) Quality is usually better. With all that said, we do use 3rd Party Labels for two reasons: 1) cost on some types are cheaper; 2) some types offer colors other than white. We have found that U-LINE and Royalmailers Labels are really good 3rd Party Labels, which can be found here on Amazon. U-Line does offer some labels in Blue and Yellow too. Dymo does state that using 3rd Party Labels will void their warranty, so know and understand that prior to using 3rd Party Labels.

Ha! They have really made a mess here. As far as I know, yes. I thought ALL the labels had to be "registered" but when one CSR called me back, they said it was just postage.

I do not know for sure but I think probably not. You need to buy the stamp rolls direct from Dymo in order to buy postage. You can buy the rolls on amazon but cannot print the postage using the dymo system.

No, it only tells you the weight of the package. There are too many options (first class, priority mail, parcel post etc) to tell you how much postage to use.

When I use ebay, I tell it to print "Without instructions (two labels per page)". It is chosen with a check box.

You can always send us ( or the vendor ) a note. However, there would be an additional shipping fee in most cases as USPS, Fedex and UPS would charge to resend. At least from us.

Yes if you program the product names manually. I did not have luck with the included software. My register did not accept the labels made on my pc

No. I don't see that as an option in the directions nor do I see a label-type cartridge available for the unit that would be large enough to print an address label.

You can print any of the normal labels - I've gone a bit overboard and labelled all my craft items with white and transparent labels...

I don't use the Dymo to print postage (either size), 'cause I generate the 4 X 6 labels for Paypal with postage affixed there. You can use the Dymo, it is all a matter of preference and ease of use. The interface between eBay, Paypal, and the USPS has me lost from time to time. As a consequence, I find it easier to collect the data from eBay and then generate the data into a USPS 4 X 6 label. But I LOVE my Dymo dual-label printer!!!! Beside the mailing labels, I tag all sorts of stuff around the home and office, including bar coding of some inventory stuff. Just don't make a copy of the label on a copy machine as the thermal-sensitive label will turn black! hope this helps, mike michaelson in medford oregon

Yes, as long as the total weight of the envelope doesn't exceed 1 oz. You can use this size up to 3.5 oz. weight. However, for each oz. over l oz. you will need to add .21 postage. Postage for an envelope this size, which weighs 3.5 oz. would be $1.12.

Certainly, with proper address and adequate postage... But this doesn't mean it is smart to do so. Keep in mind they are transparent, so the contents of the envelope will be visible to people you don't even know! And the envelope doesn't seal closed.

I'm not sure if a postal service would allow that. If they do, you can definitely use it. But the retractable piece that shortens or lengthens the tube can come loose at times, so the case could shorten during shipping and crunch the poster. I'd recommend a cardboard tube to mail a poster to someone.

You would be better off just buying them from Epson when they run a "NO charge for shipping week" plus they also give 10 and 15% off coupons every once in a while if you registered your printer with them and got on the e-mail list. There are also a couple of vendors that don't charge shipping or tax either.

Yes, with a ball point pen or permanent marker, I was able to. Just make sure the envelope is held tight when you do this. 99% of the time I print my labels and tape them to it, securing the envelope at the same time. Hope this helps.

Yes, you can print "flat rate" postage with it. Not sure what you mean by hooking up directly with USPS.com, it isn't one of their products and you don't use their website. Postage is purchased in bulk through endicia. I love this machine, it has improved my office efficiency so much..... Let me know if you have any other questions, I'm happy to help.

Brother includes two prepaid mailing labels - one for UPS and the other for the USPS. Just put the used cartridge in the box, seal it with tape, put one of the labels on the box, and drop it off at the nearest UPS or post office. Done. Simple.

yes, you can use other labels. such as these ones: BROTHER-Compatible DK-2243 Continuous Paper Labels with ONE (1) reusable black cartridge (4" x 100'; 102mm*30.48m) -- BPA Free! (4 Rolls; Continuous Paper)
