How to add a printer in DYMO Connect Mobile?
The application DYMO Connect Mobile available for Android and iOS (available HERE) works with the DYMO MobileLabeler and the
LabelWriter Wireless label printers. You can connect up to two label makers at one time.
If you have not yet paired and/or connected to a label printer, the virtual label printers, DYMO ML or
LabelWriter, let you design and save labels. You will need to connect to and select an actual label
printer before you can print any labels designed using a virtual printer. Please refer to the User Guide of your device to find out how to properly
