Creating your first label

You will no doubt be anxious to see what your new LabelManager 300 can do. Before we go on to explore the many advanced features of the LM300, follow these simple steps to create your first label:

1. Fit the batteries, or connect the AC adaptor, plug in and switch on at the wall socket - see ‘Power Supply’.

2. Open the battery/cassette compartment cover and install a tape cassette – see page 2 and ‘Changing the Cassette’. Check that the cassette is fitted correctly.

3. Close the cover, then press The welcome message ‘DYMO’ will appear, and then the display should look like this:

4. Use the keyboard to type in your full name. Each character you enter will appear on the display, for example:

DYMO

• For an UPPER CASE character, press and hold down

followed by the character required.

CAPS

• Press

CASE.

• Press the space bar once for the space between each

name. If you make a mistake, press then type in the correction.

5. When you have finished, press printed and will emerge from the slot in the top right hand side of the machine. Wait until the mechanism has stopped, then press the cutter lever E to cut off the label and remove it from the machine.

You should now have a high quality printed name label — don’t waste it! If this is your personal machine, why not fix the label to the underside to identify its owner? You have just found the first of many uses for your DYMO labels.
