About Your LabelMANAGER 150
Electronic Labelmaker
The LabelMANAGER 150 electronic labelmaker
allows you to create a wide variety of highquality, self-adhesive labels. You can choose to
print your labels in many different sizes and
styles. The labelmaker uses D1 tape cassettes
in widths of 1/4” (6 mm), 3/8” (9 mm), or 1/2”
(12 mm). These tape cassettes are available in
a wide range of colors.
Visit www.dymo.com for information on
obtaining tapes and accessories for your
labelmaker.

the feature and function keys. See Figure 1 on
page 2.

number of characters actually displayed can
