wide variety of high-quality, self-adhesive labels. You can choose to print your
labels in many different font sizes and styles. The label maker uses DYMO D1
tape cassettes in widths of 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 labels and accessories for your label maker.
