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 to switch the power on.
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:
• For an UPPER CASE character, press and hold down
followed by the character required.
• Press
CAPS
for all subsequent characters in UPPER
CASE.
• Press the space bar once for the space between each
name.
If you make a mistake, press
DEL
to delete the error,
then type in the correction.
5. When you have finished, press
PRINT
. A label will be
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.
