About Your New Labelmaker

With your new DYMO ExecuLabel

 LM450 

labelmaker, you can create a wide variety of high-
quality, 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.

Please complete the warranty registration card and

address within seven days of purchase. Visit 
www.dymo.com/registration for details.

Getting Started

Follow the instructions in this section to print your 
first label.

Connecting the Power

The labelmaker can operate on AC or battery 
power. To save power, the labelmaker will 
automatically turn off after two minutes of inactivity.

Inserting the Batteries

The labelmaker uses six 1.5 volt high-capacity AA 
alkaline batteries.
To insert the batteries
1. Remove the battery compartment cover. See 

Figure 2.

Figure 2  

2. Insert the batteries following the polarity 

markings (+ and –).

3. Replace the battery compartment cover.

Remove the batteries if the labelmaker will 

not be used for a long period of time.

Connecting the Power Adapter

An optional AC power adapter can also be used to 
power the labelmaker. Connecting the power 
adapter to the labelmaker disconnects the batteries 
as a power source.
To connect the power adapter
1. Plug the power adapter into the power connector 

on the top, left side of the labelmaker.

2. Plug the other end of the power adapter into a 

power outlet.

Make sure the labelmaker power is turned off 

before you disconnect the power adapter from the 
main power source. Otherwise, your most recent 
memory settings will be lost.

Inserting the Label Cassette

Your labelmaker comes with one DYMO D1 label 
cassette. Visit www.dymo.com for information 
about purchasing additional label cassettes.
