In the mean time before Sept 2015, you will have to possibly change several settings in your Chrome browser in order to use the DYMO Label Framework: We are investigating alternatives to NPAPI but we have not come up with a solution yet. We use NPAPI in the framework for plugin support for most browsers except for IE which we use an ActiveX plugin. The FAQ article is here.Ī some may be already aware of, Google has announced that it will phase out support for NPAPI in Chrome with the ultimate removal in Sept 2015. The Firefox extension for DYMO SDK has been updated to support Firefox 28. The auto-update functionality isn’t included in this version.

New printers will not be supported by the extension.

You may encounter scanning issues for barcodes with lots of data or 2D barcodes, though. That being said, for most barcodes, 300×300 DPI is plenty of resolution. When the “Print Quality” setting is set to “Auto” or “Barcodes and graphics”, the resolution will always be 300×600 if a barcode is present on your label. For barcodes, we typically like to switch our printers into high resolution mode (300×600 DPI) in order to improve barcode scanning reliability. There is one side effect to making this change and that is your labels will always print at a resolution of 300×300 DPI. Navigate to the LabelWriter printer tab and change the “Print Quality” to “Text”. We are awaiting a fix from Microsoft, but in the meantime, you will need to modify a setting in DLS to workaround the issue. There is currently a bug in Windows 8.1 that causes any label with a barcode to print abnormally in DLS.
