Getting to Know the Label Maker
Become familiar with the location of the feature and
function keys on your label maker. Refer to Figure 1. The
following sections describe each feature in detail.
Power
The
button turns the power on and off. After ten
minutes of inactivity, the power is switched off
automatically. When the printer turns off, the last label
created is remembered and displayed when the power is
turned back on. The previously selected style settings are
also restored.
Navigation Keys
You can review and edit your label using the left, right, up
and down navigation keys. You can also navigate through
menu selections using the navigation keys, and then press
to make a selection.
Shift
The key is used to select a symbol printed on a numeric
key. For example, when you press
, the number 8
appears in the display; however, if you press and then
, an apostrophe (‘) appears in the display.
You can also use the key to toggle Caps mode on or off
for a single alpha character.
CAPS Mode
The
key toggles capitalization on or off. When Caps
mode is on, the Uppercase indicator is shown on the
display and all letters that you enter are capitalized. When
Caps mode is off, all letters appear in lowercase. The
default setting is Caps mode on.
LCD Display
The display can show four lines of text at a time. The
number of characters displayed on each line will vary due to
proportional spacing.
With DYMO’s exclusive graphical display, most of the
formatting you add is visible instantly.

display appear black to let you know when a feature
