This Quick Start Guide gives instructions for connecting the printer, installing the software, and
loading the labels. For complete information about programming and using the LabelWriter
SE450 printer, refer to the LabelWriter SE450 Technical Reference Guide available on the
Developers Program page of the DYMO Web site (www.dymo.com).
The LabelWriter SE450 label printer is primarily intended for applications limited to sending simple
ASCII print data and Escape commands for printing from computers or devices using the serial or
USB connections. In addition, printer drivers are included for printing from a Mac, Windows, or
Linux system.
The software CD included with the printer includes the printer drivers for Windows, Mac, and Linux,
and the full DYMO Label v.8 software installer. However, when used primarily as an ASCII printer,
the drivers may not be required by your system.
