About Your New Labelmaker
With your new DYMO ExecuLabel™ LM450
labelmaker, you can 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 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.
Visit www.dymo.com for information on obtaining
labels and accessories for your labelmaker.
Warranty Registration
Please complete the warranty registration card and
return it to the appropriate Customer Support
address within seven days of purchase. Visit
www.dymo.com/registration for details.
