Introduction

The Dymo 1000 Electronic Labelmaker enables you to create a wide variety of high quality self-adhesive labels of up to 100 characters. The Labelmaker uses 12mm ( 1 / 2 ") wide tape cassettes in a number of label colours. Normal or double width, full and half-height text can be printed in a single line, or in half-height on two lines. Text can be set horizontally or and is always centred on the label.

Function keys

LABEL LENGTH +
Displays the current label length. The length is normally calculated automatically, according to the length of the text on the label.

• Press to cancel the length function without changing the length, or:
• use or to increase (up to 400mm or 15" max.) or decrease the length in 5mm ( 1 / ") steps. The display will flash if you try to make the label 5 shorter than the text.
• If the length displayed is preceded by the > symbol, the length has already been fixed; the label is too short for the text and it will not print. Either press to increase the length in < 5mm ( 1 / 5 ") steps until the > symbol disappears, or press + to cancel fixed DEL length; the label is now long enough for the text and can be printed.

Symbols and special characters

International characters
You can create international characters by combining a letter and a diacritical (accent). Diacriticals available on the keyboard are ´ ' ¨ and ^. To add a diacritical to a character, enter the character first, followed immediately by the diacritical. For example, press 'E' followed by '´' to get é.
To add a diacritical to an existing character, use or to place the cursor under the character to be changed, then press the appropriate diacritical key.

Symbols
Pressing changes the display to show symbols and special characters, some of which are not available direct from the keyboard. The display will show:

Each letter selects a line of five symbol characters, as shown in the table below. Note that some of the more complex printed symbols are represented by simpler symbols in the display.

Press again to place the symbol in the label, or press to place it and print the label.
