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.

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 

V

 key inserts one or more blank 

spaces in your text.

Backspace

The 

 key removes the character to the left of 

the cursor. 

+

 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 

With the 

C

 keys, you can review and edit your 

label, and navigate through the menus. Use the left 
and right arrow keys to move the cursor along the 
label text or to move through fields. Use the up and 
down arrow keys to increase or decrease settings 
and to select menu items, and then press 

 to 

accept the selection.

Connecting to Your Computer

Your labelmaker can be used as a standalone label 
printer or you can print labels from your computer 
using DYMO Label Software. Your labelmaker 
connects to your computer using the USB 
connection located on the top of the labelmaker. 
See Figure 8.
