Setup

Loading the Label Tape

1. Open the tape compartment: Locate the latch or release button on the side or bottom of the label maker and open the cover.
2. Insert the tape cartridge: Place the DYMO embossing tape cartridge into the compartment, ensuring it sits securely. The tape should feed through the guide slot.
3. Feed the tape: Gently pull a small length of tape (approximately 1-2 inches) through the tape guide until it extends past the cutting mechanism.
4. Close the compartment: Securely close the tape compartment cover until it clicks into place.

Operating Instructions

Creating a Label

1. Select a character: Rotate the character dial to align the desired letter, number, or symbol with the indicator mark in the viewing window.
2. Emboss the character: Firmly squeeze the handle of the label maker. You will feel a click as the character is embossed onto the tape. Release the handle completely before selecting the next character.
3. Create a space: To create a space between words, rotate the dial to the blank space character (usually indicated by a small gap or a specific symbol) and squeeze the handle once.
4. Cut the label: Once you have finished embossing your text, rotate the character dial to the cutting symbol (often a pair of scissors or a blade icon). Squeeze the handle firmly to cut the label.
5. Peel the backing: The label maker is designed to create a perforated backing for easy peeling. Gently bend the label to separate the embossed tape from its adhesive backing.
6. Apply the label: Stick the label onto a clean, dry surface.

Maintenance

Cleaning

To maintain optimal performance, periodically wipe the exterior of the label maker with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Tape Storage

Store unused label tapes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve their adhesive quality and prevent degradation.

Troubleshooting

• Letters are not clear or fully embossed: Ensure you are pressing the handle firmly and completely for each character. Check that the tape is properly aligned within the guide.
• Tape is not feeding: Verify that the tape cartridge is correctly inserted and that there are no obstructions or jams in the tape path. Ensure the tape is not twisted.
• Label maker stops working or characters are misaligned: Check the alignment of the character dial. The arrows on the top and bottom sections of the dial should be aligned. If misaligned, gently adjust the top layer of the dial until the arrows match.
• Label does not stick: Ensure the surface where the label is being applied is clean, dry, and smooth.
