maker, you can create a wide variety of high-quality,  
self-adhesive labels. You can choose to print your  
labels in many different sizes and styles. The label  
maker uses DYMO D1 label cassettes in widths of 1/4”  
(6 mm), 3/8” (9 mm), 1/2” (12 mm), 3/4” (19 mm), or  
1” (24 mm). Label cassettes are also available in a wide  
range of materials.

Connecting the Power Adapter  
An optional AC power adapter can also be used to  
power the label maker. Connecting the power adapter  
to the label maker disconnects the batteries as a power  
source.

on the top, left side of the label maker.  
Connecting the Power

optional AC power adapter. To save power, the label  
maker will automatically turn off after two minutes of  
inactivity.  
2. Plug the other end of the power adapter into a  
power outlet.  
Inserting the Tape Cassette  
Your label maker comes with one D1 tape cassette.  
Visit www.dymo.com for information about  
purchasing additional tape cassettes.

Getting to Know the Label Maker  
The following sections describe each feature in detail.  
Become familiar with the location of the feature and  
function keys on your label maker. See Figure 1 on  
Figure 7  
CAPS Mode  
The CAPS key toggles capitalization on and off. When  
CAPS mode is turned on, the CAPS mode indicator is  
shown on the display and all letters that you enter will  
be capitalized. The default setting is CAPS mode on.  
When CAPS mode is off, all letters entered appear in  
lower case.  
Power  
The  
button turns the power on and off. After two  
minutes of no activity, the power is switched off  
automatically. The last label created is remembered  
and displayed when the power is turned back on. The  
previously selected style settings are also restored.  
Shift Key  
The Shift key, when used in combination with an  
alphabet key, changes the case of the selected letter.  
When used in combination with number keys or  
function keys, the Shift key selects the alternate  
function shown on the key. For example, when you  
press Backspace, the character to the left of the  
cursor is deleted; however, when you press  
Shift+Backspace together, the entire label text and  
formatting is deleted and the display is ready for you  
to type a new label.  
LCD Display  
The label maker’s LCD display shows a row of sixteen  
characters. However, you can enter up to 99 characters  
and spaces.  
The display is similar to a window that scrolls across  
the text. (See Figure 6.) The number of characters  
actually displayed can vary due to proportional  
spacing.

Using Symbols and Special Characters

your labels.  
Adding International Characters  
The label maker supports the extended Latin character  
set using RACE technology. Similar to using a mobile  
phone keypad, if you type a letter multiple times  
within a very short time, you will scroll through  
variations on that letter.  
For example, if you repeatedly press the letter a, you  
will see a à á â ã ä å and so on through all the  
variations available. The order in which the character  
variations appear depends on the language you have  
selected to use.  
Currency Symbols  
The currency key $ also uses RACE to scroll through a  
number of currency symbols:  
$ e £ ¢ ¥  
The order these symbols appear depends on the  
keyboard version and language you have selected.

make a label for a specific purpose that is a fixed  
length regardless of the length of the text.  
Printing Multiple Copies  
You can print up to 16 copies of a label at one time.  
When printing multiple copies, a dotted cut-line is  
printed between each label.

increments between 1.5” (40 mm) and 15.0” (400
