Please follow the steps in this guide to set up your Dymo LabelWriter series printer in Windows. Prior to this setup, make sure that you have plugged in and powered on the printer, installed the driver (see below), and that you've done a successful test print (that option will be there for you at the end of the setup procedure).

Many times, the driver that comes on the installation with the printer is an older version, so you might want to check the manufacturer's site for the latest version.

Also prior to this setup, you will need to make sure that your browser is set up to print properly with our system. Please call our Support team at 385-404-6200 and choose option 2 for support. It will typically take five to ten minutes once they have started a screen share with you to properly configure your printer.

 

Label Sizes to Use

Our system works best with the following sizes:

• 30332 - 1"x 1"
• 30334 - 2.25" x 1.25"
• 30299 - .4375" x 2.125" 'Dumbbell'

Please note that the 2.00" x 0.75" size that is supported in Jewel360 does not have a corresponding label size by Dymo. For that size, it is only supported by Zebra label printers.

Also note that when buying labels, the official Dymo labels have punchouts between labels so the printer knows where to stop. We have clients who have purchased some labels that do not have the punchout, and will not work. Be careful when buying the labels to make sure that they have the punchout (some generic brands do this correctly).

On the 'Dumbbell' labels, they are '2-up' meaning they print two to a label and you will peel them out of a die-cut rectangular label, as pictured below.

In our system, the 'Dymo Dumbbell' option will print out its data like this:

Please note the word 'landscape' here is NOT the printer orientation to use with any of these label types. All will print out in Portrait orientation because the text on the labels comes out of the printer upright.

You can use different label sizes; for example, the Dymo 450 family of printers defaults to an Address Label size, 30252, which is 3.5" x 1.25", but our system and our support team do not officially support any other sizes you might choose. It may be possible for us to set your system up to print to them, but we cannot guarantee the results.

 

Configure the Printer Driver

Once you have the best version of the driver installed, you will want to open your list of printers in your Control Panel. Many versions of Windows have a Devices and Printers link in your Start menu that will take you right there, but you can always find your printers in your Control Panel list.

Right-click on your Dymo printer and go to Printer Properties to start. (Note: if you are using Windows XP, you will go to Preferences instead.) It is recommended to leave the settings you see alone unless directed to make changes to them below.

At the bottom of the Printer Properties window, click on Preferences.

In the Preferences window, click the Advanced button in the lower right.

In the Advanced Options window, make sure your proper label size is selected. You will want either 30332 (1" x 1") or 30334 (2-1/8" x 1-1/8"):

Click OK to close the Advanced Options window, and then do the same for the Printing Preferences window. In the Properties window, click on the tab at the top for Advanced. At the bottom of the Advanced tab, find the Printing Defaults button and click on it:

You will make the exact same changes you did under Preferences, here, so in the lower right of the Printing Defaults window, click on the Advanced button:

In the Printing Defaults Advanced Options window, select your label size (we will use 30334 as an example) and click OK to close this window, then click OK for the Printing Defaults window.

 

Run a Test Print

Next, run a test print from our system to make sure everything works all right! If you have products already loaded, you can go to Inventory > Products search for the product you want, check its checkbox on the left, then at the top click Bulk Actions > Print Barcodes. Choose your label size and then search for a product. At the bottom, click the Print Preview button to see a preview of the output. Before you click to Print, be sure to read the note below!

The first time you print, make sure you have set your Dymo printer to be the active printer, and click on the Properties button, then go to the Advanced button in the lower right of the Properties window, and in the Advanced Properties window make sure your paper is set correctly (it probably won't be, this first time). Any time you change from one printer and back to this one, it is a good idea to make this same check.

If your label is printing with extra blank labels, you should first check your Browser settings (see the link at the top of this article to set your Browser to print with our system) and if that doesn't work, double-check the areas listed above where you set your label size and make sure they are set to either 30330, 30332, or 30334.

Be careful when buying the labels to make sure that they have the punchout (some generic brands do this correctly).

 

Configure the Printer Driver

Once you have the best version of the driver installed, you will want to open your System Preferences and then click on Print and Scan. Next, click on the + button to add the printer.

Add a name for your printer if you like. Click on the Use drop-list and search for Dymo and then find your model in the list.

To configure the settings for the printer itself, open either Chrome or Safari and enter the following:

http://localhost:631/printers/

If you get the screen below, you need to enable CUPS for your OS. If not, skip down below to the Localhost Configuration section.

To enable CUPS for your computer, first highlight and copy: cupsctl WebInterface=yes

Next, click the magnifying glass Search icon in the upper right and enter Terminal, then click to run the application.

After Terminal opens, you will see a cursor flashing: paste what you copied and click Return to run the setting.

You can close Terminal after it completes the setting. You will now be able to access your printer configuration from the localhost.

 

Localhost Configuration

You will see a list of all active printers once the localhost opens. Click on the Dymo and a page will load showing the printer attributes.

Find the drop list pictured below and click on Set Default Options.

Select the labels you will be using from the Media Size list. You will want either 30332 (1" x 1") or 30334 (2-1/8" x 1-1/8") for use in our system. Keep the defaults for the other options. Click the Set Default Options button when finished.

Note: if for some reason you don't see the specific label numbers for your Dymo printer, select Custom Size from the Media Size drop list and enter either 1 x 1 in inches for the 30332 labels, 2.125 x 1.125 in inches for the 30334 labels, or 2 x .75 inches for the 30330 labels.

Because the POS is web-based, the general rule for equipment is that it must work with a computer.  If you already have a point of sale system that operates on a computer, it is likely that your existing equipment will work with our system. Specialized hardware, such as a dedicated cash register machine, most likely will not work with our system for its special-function buttons. We have some recommendations for equipment that we have tested, but they are not required for our system. Hardware is an area that can change rapidly so for the latest possible information, if you are in the onboarding process, ask your Client Success Manager. If your system is launched, call our Support team at 385-404-6200 and use option 2.

***Please keep receipts for equipment until you are certain it is compatible with your computer.*

 

Computer

The POS is web-based, so any computer/tablet with a full-function operating system that connects to the internet should work. Here is a list of minimum requirements to work with our system:

• Windows: We recommend Windows 11. Please note that Microsoft ceased support for Windows 10 in October of 2025.
• Mac: macOS 26.0 Tahoe or later is recommended, but older versions such as Sequoia (15) and Sonoma (14) will work with Jewel360.
• CPU: Windows - Intel Core i3 or better / AMD Ryzen 3 4300 or better. Mac - Intel Core i3 or better.
• RAM: 4GB minimum, 8GB recommended.
• Storage: At least 64GB of hard disk space.
• Ports: At least one USB 2.0 or better port*. It is not recommended to try and use hardware that connects by serial port or parallel port with our system. If you wish to use Ethernet connected printers, you will need to have a network professional set that hardware up for you, our support team does not to local area network setup, as this work cannot be done over the phone.
• Internet: We advise a broadband connection speed of at least 5 - 10 Mbps. You can test your connection speed by going to SpeedTest.net. Be careful to avoid advertisements; the button that starts the test says Begin Test.

Devices such as Netbooks, Chromebooks, iPads, and any Android, Linux, or other operating system devices may experience limited functionality. For utilizing the Point of Sale Register, iPad tablets and similar devices will function just fine as long as you have a wireless receipt printer and barcode scanner. Android tablets often have USB ports you can use to connect more affordable wired receipt printers and barcode scanners.

*Devices such as the iPad do not have a USB port, and printing through a browser from an iPad is not supported so you will need wireless peripheral devices.

Here is a computer that fulfills system requirements from our hardware partners at POSGuys:

21" Touch Screen Display

Intel i3 Processor

8GB RAM

128GB Storage

Windows 10 64-bit

Available Stand (sold separately)

Jewel360 IC-215P-AW3-W10-RN

Many of our customers have chosen to go with a standard desktop PC that you can pick up for about $300 - $400. Some of our customers have gone with a touchscreen computer. If you have to buy, get something that you like and that is dependable. If you have any questions, please call us.

 

Router

For our system, your existing router that is already working for you will usually be sufficient. If you have internet outages that are of concern to you, there is a type of router that will automatically switch over to a cellular connection as a hotspot, to save you as much down time as possible. Understand, this is purely optional, but below is a link to an excellent router by Linksys.

Linksys Router Example > (PC and Mac Compatible)

 

Barcode Scanner

Nearly any barcode scanner that connects to your computer by USB, Bluetooth, or WiFi will work. USB barcode scanners for a desktop or laptop are generally the most affordable and reliable. Generally, more expensive scanners will have additional features, but may not offer better scanning. Your scanner should be able to read 1D scans in code 128 (just a single read across the barcode), which is something almost all scanners currently available can do.

USB Example > (PC & MAC Compatible)

 

Portable Wireless Barcode Scanner

If you need something even more portable, for example, to use at a trade show or a remote location, this scanner will work well for you. This unit is designed to connect using Bluetooth to mobile devices such as notebooks (Apple, Windows, or Chromebooks), tablets (iOS or Android), or even phones (iOS, Android, Windows, or Blackberry) to scan 1D barcodes into the device.

Bluetooth Example > (PC & Mac Compatible)

 

Label Printer

The label printer is used to create barcode labels for products in your store. Look for one that connects to your computer. An inexpensive printer here should work just fine. We frequently set up Dymo 550 series printers and Zebra ZSB series printers. If you have a different type of printer, we can almost certainly help you set it up with our system if it plugs into your computer by USB.

Our system is currently capable of printing to 1" x 1" labels, 2.25" x 1.25" labels, 2" x 3/4" labels, and .4375" x 2.125" 'dumbbell' labels. Click here for more information on where to buy these labels: How to Set Up Your Dymo Label Printer in Windows. If you are a Mac user, here is how to set up your Dymo label printer in MacOS.

Label Printers > (PC & MAC Compatible)

 

Receipt Printer

Unless you are on a very tight budget, we would recommend spending enough money to purchase a heavier-duty receipt printer. Printers can be found for around $50, but many priced that low will print receipts that aren't very legible or easily scanned. Something in the $200 - $300 range will be more reliable and might save you some headaches in the long run.

We set up Star TSP143 series printers and Epson TM-M30 series printers on a regular basis, but other models work well, too, just make sure it plugs in with USB and can print from your operating system (do a test print from Word or a similar application).

Please note that unless you have your own IT administrator who can set up an Ethernet-based printer, it is recommended you order the USB version, which we can help you set up.

Receipt Printers > (PC & MAC Compatible)

 

Cash Drawer

Most likely, unless you have a drawer or cash box you prefer, you will want a cash drawer that can plug into your receipt printer so the drawer will pop open after a sale is completed and the receipt starts printing.

Cash Drawer >

 

Credit Card Terminal

If you are using Jewel360 Payments as your credit card processor, the WisePOS E terminal on the left side in the image above is currently the terminal you'll be using for our U.S. clients. If you are in Canada using Interac, it is likely you have the S1 F2 terminal pictured above. Part of the process of setting up your credit card processing will be informing you of how you will get your terminal so you do not need to buy this separately ahead of time.

 

Internet Hotspot

What would you do if your internet connection went down in the middle of your business day? Our system depends on the internet to operate, so if you are wanting to make sure you can always connect, having an internet hotspot that uses your cellular service as an alternative is a great option. Contact your mobile service provider for hardware solutions.

Here is a computer that fulfills system requirements from our hardware partners at POSGuys: 21" Touch Screen Display Intel i3 Processor 8GB RAM 128GB Storage Windows 10 64-bit Available Stand (sold separately) Jewel360 IC-215P-AW3-W10-RN Many of our customers have chosen to go with a standard desktop PC that you can pick up for about $300 - $400. Some of our customers have gone with a touchscreen computer. If you have to buy, get something that you like and that is dependable. If you have any questions, please call us. Router For our system, your existing router that is already working for you will usually be sufficient. If you have internet outages that are of concern to you, there is a type of router that will automatically switch over to a cellular connection as a hotspot, to save you as much down time as possible. Understand, this is purely optional, but below is a link to an excellent router by Linksys. Linksys Router Example > (PC and Mac Compatible) Barcode Scanner Nearly any barcode scanner that connects to your computer by USB, Bluetooth, or WiFi will work. USB barcode scanners for a desktop or laptop are generally the most affordable and reliable. Generally, more expensive scanners will have additional features, but may not offer better scanning. Your scanner should be able to read 1D scans in code 128 (just a single read across the barcode), which is something almost all scanners currently available can do. USB Example > (PC & MAC Compatible) Portable Wireless Barcode Scanner If you need something even more portable, for example, to use at a trade show or a remote location, this scanner will work well for you. This unit is designed to connect using Bluetooth to mobile devices such as notebooks (Apple, Windows, or Chromebooks), tablets (iOS or Android), or even phones (iOS, Android, Windows, or Blackberry) to scan 1D barcodes into the device. Bluetooth Example > (PC & Mac Compatible) Label Printer The label printer is used to create barcode labels for products in your store. Look for one that connects to your computer. An inexpensive printer here should work just fine. We frequently set up Dymo 550 series printers and Zebra ZSB series printers. If you have a different type of printer, we can almost certainly help you set it up with our system if it plugs into your computer by USB. Our system is currently capable of printing to 1" x 1" labels, 2.25" x 1.25" labels, 2" x 3/4" labels, and .4375" x 2.125" 'dumbbell' labels.

Label Printers > (PC & MAC Compatible) Receipt Printer Unless you are on a very tight budget, we would recommend spending enough money to purchase a heavier-duty receipt printer. Printers can be found for around $50, but many priced that low will print receipts that aren't very legible or easily scanned. Something in the $200 - $300 range will be more reliable and might save you some headaches in the long run. We set up Star TSP143 series printers and Epson TM-M30 series printers on a regular basis, but other models work well, too, just make sure it plugs in with USB and can print from your operating system (do a test print from Word or a similar application). Please note that unless you have your own IT administrator who can set up an Ethernet-based printer, it is recommended you order the USB version, which we can help you set up. Receipt Printers > (PC & MAC Compatible) Cash Drawer Most likely, unless you have a drawer or cash box you prefer, you will want a cash drawer that can plug into your receipt printer so the drawer will pop open after a sale is completed and the receipt starts printing. Cash Drawer > Credit Card Terminal If you are using Jewel360 Payments as your credit card processor, the WisePOS E terminal on the left side in the image above is currently the terminal you'll be using for our U.S. clients. If you are in Canada using Interac, it is likely you have the S1 F2 terminal pictured above. Part of the process of setting up your credit card processing will be informing you of how you will get your terminal so you do not need to buy this separately ahead of time. Internet Hotspot What would you do if your internet connection went down in the middle of your business day? Our system depends on the internet to operate, so if you are wanting to make sure you can always connect, having an internet hotspot that uses your cellular service as an alternative is a great option.
