About Your LabelMANAGER 350
Electronic Labelmaker
The LabelMANAGER 350 electronic labelmaker
allows you to 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 D1 tape cassettes
in widths of 6 mm (1/4”), 9 mm (3/8”), 12 mm
(1/2”), or 19 mm (3/4”). These tape cassettes
are available in a wide range of colors. Visit
www.dymo.com for information on obtaining
tapes and accessories for your labelmaker.

Getting to Know Your Labelmaker
The following sections describe each feature
in detail. Become familiar with the location of
the feature and function keys. See Figure 1 on
page 2.
The Display
The LCD display shows a row of sixteen
characters. However, you can enter up to 99
characters/spaces.
The display is similar to a window that scrolls
across the text. (See Figure 6.) The number of
characters actually displayed can vary due to
proportional spacing.
Figure 6
In addition, feature indicators appear on the
display to let you know when a feature is
selected. See Figure 7.
Figure 7
On/Off
The On/Off button switches the power on and
off. After two minutes of no activity, the power
is switched off automatically.
The last label created is remembered and
displayed when the power is turned back on.
The previously selected style settings are also
restored.
Upper and Lower Case
The CAPS key toggles capitalization on and off.
When CAPS mode is turned on, the CAPS
indicator is shown on the display and all letters
that you enter will be capitalized. When CAPS
mode is off, all letters entered appear in lower
case.
Shift
The Shift key, when used in combination with
an alphabet key, changes the case of the
selected letter. When used in combination with
number keys or function keys, the Shift key
selects the alternate function shown on the
key. For example, when you press Backspace,
the character to the left of the cursor is
deleted; however, when you press Shift-
Backspace together, the entire label text and
formatting is deleted and the display is ready
for you to type a new label.
Space Bar
The Space bar inserts one blank space in your
text.
Backspace
The Backspace key removes the character to
the left of the cursor. Shift-Backspace clears
all the label text and formatting.
Cancel
The Cancel key allows you to exit from a menu
without making a selection or to cancel an action.
Navigation Keys
You can review and edit your label using the
left and right arrow keys. You can navigate
through the menu selections using the up and
down arrow keys. You then press OK to make
your selection.

Formatting Your Label
You can choose from a number of formatting
options to enhance the appearance of your labels.
The labelmaker remembers the last
feature selection made so that each time you
enter one of the feature menus described in
this section, you are positioned at the last item
selected from that menu.
Changing the Font
Six font are available for your labels:
Arial Narrow, Arial Normal, Arial Wide, Times
New Roman, One Stroke and Frankfurter.
When you specify a font size, that size applies
to all characters on current page.
To set the font
1. Press the Font key.
2. Use the arrow keys to move to the desired
font and then press OK.
Adding Font Styles
You can choose from 13 different font styles to
apply to your text:
Figure 8

can be used with alphanumeric characters and
symbols. See “Adding Symbols” for more
information on printing symbols.
To set the font style
1. Press the Style key.
2. Use the arrow keys to move to the desired
style and then press OK.
Adding Boxes and Background styles
You can further highlight your text by choosing
a box, underline or background style. A label
can be underlined or enclosed in a box or
background, but not both together. The styles
available are shown in Figure 9.
Figure 9
To set the box style
1. Press the Box/Align key.
2. Use the arrow keys to move to the desired
box style and then press OK.

• Maximum of two lines on 3/8" (9 mm) and
1/2" (12 mm) labels
• Maximum of one line on 1/4" (6 mm) labels
To create a multiple-line label
1. Type the text for the first line, and press
Return. A new line character is placed
at the end of the first line in the display, but
will not print on the label.
2. Type the text for the second line.
The display shows the line on which you are
currently entering text. The example below
indicates that the second line is the current line
on the label.
You can use the arrow keys to move from one
line to another.
Using Mixed Formats
You can apply different fonts and format styles
to the text on a label by dividing the label into
blocks of text or pages. Each page is separated
by a page break. The number of lines that can
be added to a page is determined by the label
width. You can add two page breaks to a label.
Alignment, underline, box styles, and background patterns cannot be mixed on a label.
These styles are common to the entire label.
To add a page break
1. Enter and format text for the first page of
the label.
2. Press Extra.
3. Use the arrow keys to select Insert Format
Break and press OK.
4. Continue entering and formatting text for
the next page of the label.
Using Tabs
You can add tabs to a label to align text on
multi-line labels. Tabs are left justified and the
default spacing is 2.0” (50 mm).
To change the tab spacing
1. Press Settings.
2. Use the arrow keys to select Set Tab Length
and press OK.
3. Use the Up and Down arrow keys to
increase or decrease the tab setting, and
then press OK.
To insert a tab
1. Enter your text.
2. Press the Tab key and continue entering text.
Using Symbols and Special
Characters
Symbols and other special characters can be
added to your labels.
Adding International Characters
The labelmaker supports the extended Latin
character set using RACE technology. Similar
to using a mobile phone keypad, if you press a
letter multiple times within a very short time,
you will scroll through variations of that letter.
For example, if you repeatedly press the letter
a, you will see a à á â ã ä å and so on through
all the variations available. The order in which
the character variations appear depends on the
language you have chosen to use.
Currency symbols
The currency key
ee
also uses RACE to scroll
through a number of currency symbols:
ee
£ $ ¢ ¥
The order these symbols appear depends on
the keyboard version and language you have
selected.
Adding Symbols
The labelmaker supports the extended symbol
set as shown below.

shown in the table appears in the display.
2. Use the arrow keys to move to the desired
symbol. The left and right arrows scroll
horizontally along the row of symbols.

To quickly see a row of symbols, you can
press the letter corresponding to the row
you want.
3. When you locate the desired symbol, press
OK to add the symbol to your label text.
Printing Options
You can print multiple copies of the same
label, print serialized and fixed-length labels,
review label text and format, and adjust the
printing contrast.
Printing Multiple Copies
You can print up to 16 copies of a label at one
time. When the Auto-Cut feature is off, a
dotted cut-line is printed between each label.
To print multiple copies of the label
1. Press Extra and then use the arrow keys to
set # Copies.
2. Press the Up arrow key to increase the
number of copies to print.
3. Press the Down arrow key to begin
decreasing the number of copies from 16.
4. Press OK.
5. Press Print to begin printing.
You may notice a brief pause in printing
between each label for more complex formats.
When printing is finished, the number of
copies to print returns to the default value of 1.
Serializing your Labels
You can print a series of labels with the last
number incremented by one number.
The number of labels serialized depends upon
the number of copies you selected to print.
Only the last series of numbers that follows
any letter, space, or punctuation will be
serialized. For example, abc123 will print as
abc123, abc124, abc125; and 123-998 will print
as 123-998, 123-999, 123-1000, and so on.
To serialize your labels
1. Enter the text for your label.
2. Select the number of labels to print as

Setting a Fixed Label Length
Normally, the length of the label is determined
by the length of the text entered. However, you
may wish to make a label for a specific
purpose that is a fixed length regardless of the
length of the text.
You can specify a fixed length for a label in
2mm (0.1”) increments from 40 mm (1.5”) to
400 mm (15.0”).
The preset fixed length is 4” (100 mm).
Any change you make to the fixed-length setting remains in effect until you change it again.
To set the label length
1. Press Shift-Style/Fixed Length.
2. Use arrow keys to select ON and press OK.
3. Press the Up arrow to increase the length.
4. Press the Down arrow to decrease the length.
5. Press OK to set the fixed length.
6. After you print the label, press Clear to turn
off the fixed label length setting; otherwise,
all your subsequent labels will print with
this fixed length.

label prior to printing. A multiple-line label is
previewed as a single-line label.
To preview your label
1. Press Extra.
2. Use the Down arrow key to select Print
Preview and press OK.
3. Use the arrow keys to select Text or Format.
If you select Text, the text of the label scrolls
across the display. If you select Format, the
format selected displays briefly.
Aligning the Text
When you print a fixed length label you can
choose to align the text at the left, center, or
right side of the label. For multi-line labels, all
lines of text are aligned left, center, or right
relative to each other.
To align the text
1. Press Shift-Box/Align.
2. Use the arrow keys to select the desired
alignment and press OK.
3. Press Clear to turn off the alignment setting.
Changing the Cutting Option
You can choose to have each label automatically
cut after printing or you can manually cut the
labels using the Cutter button. By default,
labels are cut automatically. When manual
cutting is selected and you print multiple
copies or serialized labels, a dotted cut-line is
printed between each label.
To change the cutting option
