Introduction

The Dymo 1000+ Electronic Labelmaker enables
you to create a wide variety of high quality self­adhesive labels of up to 100 characters.

The Labelmaker uses 6mm (

1

/4"), 9mm (3/8") or

12mm (

1

/2") wide tape cassettes in a number of
label colours. Labels are tab-cut for easy removal
from the backing tape. Text can be printed
horizontally or in a variety
of sizes and styles and is always centred on the label.
