Introduction

The DYMO LabelPOINT 200 (LP200) enables you to create a wide variety of high quality self-adhesive labels of up to 90 characters.

The LabelPOINT uses 6mm (1/4"), 9mm (3/8") or 12mm (1/2") wide tape cassettes in a number of label colors. Labels are back slit for easy removal from the backing tape. Text can be printed horizontally or vertically in a variety of sizes and styles and can be left-justified, rightjustified or centered on the label.

Visit our website (www.dymo.com) for more information on obtaining tapes and accessories for the LP200.
