Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We ship exclusively by USPS Priority Flat Rate and I purchased the DYMO LabelWriter 4XL as I had read it has the ability to print directly from the USPS website. Not so! I was unable to configure the printer settings, or USPS website settings, to get the correct orientation for printing. Very Frustrating! I called DYMO Tech Support and was told they do not offer support of their product when used with USPS. They only offer support when you use their DYMOstamps site or another site that charges a monthly fee. I was close to sending it back, but decided to look around for a fix. After more time than I care to admit looking for an answer, I pasted together the fix below that is not ideal but works for me as I am not shipping everyday. I'm using my PC for printing. How To Print From USPS Website to DYMO LabelWriter 4XL: 1. From the USPS Website choose PDF instead of Print Label. 2. Open or Save PDF (I open the PDF to save steps, but you can Save if you want to print later). Your file will likely open with Adobe Reader. 3. Choose View --> Rotate View --> Clockwise (or counterclockwise, or 90 degrees - just be sure the image is in Portrait view) 4. Choose Edit --> Take a Snapshot 5. Select/Highlight the label's 4x6ish area. 6. Right click in the highlighted area and select Print. 7. Choose the DYMO LabelWriter 4XL from your printer options and print. Voila, a perfect print every time! Also under your Printer --> Properties --> Advanced, be sure to set the Paper Size to 4in x 6in (1744907). This takes about a half dozen clicks to get the job done, but it beats the old paper, print, scissor and tape method I was using for so long. I hope this saves someone time and frustration. Feel free to let me know if you have a better fix! The 4XL was easy to install and connect, and it does print quickly and quietly.
