CAPS Mode

The 

 key toggles capitalization on and off. 

When CAPS mode is turned on, the CAPS mode 
indicator is shown on the display and all letters that 
you enter will be capitalized. The default setting is 
CAPS mode on. When CAPS mode is off, all letters 
entered appear in lower case.

Shift Key

The 

 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 

 key selects the 

alternate function shown on the key. For example, 
when you press 

, the character to the left of 

the cursor is deleted; however, when you press 

 

 together, the entire label text and 

formatting is deleted and the display is ready for 
you to type a new label.

Space Bar

The 

 key inserts one or more blank 

spaces in your text.

Backspace

The 

 key removes the character to the left of 

the cursor. Pressing 

 

 clears all label 

text and formatting.

Cancel 

The 

 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 arrows on the Navigation key. You can 
navigate through menu selections using the up and 
down arrow keys, and then press 

 to make a 

selection.

Connecting to Your Computer

Your labelmaker can be used as a standalone label 
printer or you can print labels from your computer 
using the DYMO LabelMANAGER software. Your 
labelmaker connects to your computer using the 
USB connection located on the top of the 
labelmaker. See Figure 9.

Figure 9  

Refer to the ExecuLabel LP350 Quick Start Card 
for installation instructions and the DYMO 
LabelMANAGER User Guide
 for information about 
designing and printing labels.

Formatting Your Label

You can choose from a number of formatting 
options to enhance the appearance of your labels.

The labelmaker remembers the last 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 Size 

Seven font sizes are available for your labels:
