With your DYMO LabelPoint™ 150 labelmaker, you can create a wide variety of high-quality, self-adhesive labels. You can choose to print your labels in many different sizes and styles. The labelmaker uses DYMO D1 label cassettes in widths of 3/8" (9 mm) and 1/2" (12 mm). Label cassettes are also available in a wide range of colors.
Visit www.dymo.com for information on obtaining labels and accessories for your labelmaker.
Please complete the warranty registration card and return it to the appropriate Customer Support address within seven days. Visit www.dymo.com/registration for details or to register online.
Follow the instructions in this section to print your first label.
The labelmaker is powered by six AAA alkaline batteries. To save power, the labelmaker will automatically turn off after two minutes of inactivity.
To insert the batteries
Remove the batteries if the labelmaker will not be used for a long period of time.
Your labelmaker comes with one label cassette. Visit www.dymo.com for information about purchasing additional label cassettes.
To insert the label cassette
You can select from a number of different language options. By default, the language is set to English. The language option you choose determines the default units of measure (inches or millimeters) and the character set that is available.
To select a language
You are now ready to print your first label.
To print a label
Congratulations! You have printed your first label. Continue reading to learn more about the options available for creating labels.
Become familiar with the location of the feature and function keys on your labelmaker. Refer to Figure 1. The following sections describe each feature in detail.
Figure 1 DYMO LabelPoint 150 Professional Labelmaker
The button turns the power on and off. After two minutes of no activity, the power is switched off automatically. The last label created is remembered and displayed when the power is turned back on. The previously selected style settings are also restored.
You can also use the button to cancel printing and return to edit mode.
The labelmaker's LCD display shows a row of thirteen characters. However, you can enter up to 99 characters and spaces.
The display window can accommodate 13 characters. As you type more characters, they begin to scroll to the left. See Figure 5. The number of characters actually displayed can vary due to proportional spacing.
In addition, feature indicators appear on the display to let you know when a feature is selected. See Figure 6.
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.
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.
The key inserts one or more blank spaces in your text.
The key removes the character to the left of the cursor. Pressing clears all label text and formatting.
You can review and edit your label using the left and right arrows on the navigation key. Using with the left or right arrows moves the cursor to the beginning or end of the label text.
You can navigate through menu selections using the up and down arrow keys, and then press to make a selection.
The key allows you to exit from a menu without making a selection or to cancel an action.
The key inserts a new line on your label.
The key displays Units, Copies, Preview, and Print Contrast submenus. These features are described later in this User Guide.
You can choose from a number of formatting options to enhance the appearance of your labels.
The labelmaker remembers the last selection made so that each time you enter one of the feature menus described in this section, you are positioned at the last item selected from that menu.
Three fonts are available for your labels: Arial Narrow, Arial Normal, and Arial Wide.
When you select a font, that font applies to all characters on a label.
To set the font
You can choose from six different font styles in addition to Normal:
When you select a style, that style applies to all characters. Styles can be used with alphanumeric characters and symbols. See Using Symbols and Special Characters for more information on printing symbols.
To set the font style
You can further highlight your text by choosing a box or underline style.
A label can be underlined or enclosed in a box, but not both together.
To add an underline or box style
On multi-line labels, both lines are underlined. In box-style mode, all the lines are enclosed in one box style.
You can print a maximum of two lines on 3/8" (9 mm) and 1/2" (12 mm) labels.
To create a multiple-line label
Symbols and other special characters can be added to your labels.
The labelmaker supports the extended symbol set as shown in Figure 9.
To add a symbol
The labelmaker supports the extended Latin character set using RACE technology. Similar to using a mobile phone keypad, if you type a letter multiple times within a very short time, you will scroll through variations on that letter.
For example, if French is selected as the language and you repeatedly press the letter a, you will see a à â æ and so on through all the variations available. The character variations and the order in which the variations appear depend on the language you have selected to use.
The currency key $ also uses RACE to scroll through a number of currency symbols:
€ £ $ ¢ ¥
The order these symbols appear depends on the language you have selected.
You can print multiple copies of a label at one time, print fixed-length labels, review label text and format, and adjust the printing contrast.
You can print up to 16 copies of a label at one time. When printing multiple copies, a dotted cut-line is printed between each label. To print multiple copies of the label
When printing is finished, the number of copies to print returns to the default value of 1.
Normally, the length of the label is determined by the length of the text entered. However, you may wish to make a label for a specific purpose that is a fixed length regardless of the length of the text.
You can specify a fixed length for a label in 0.1" (2 mm) increments between 1.5" (40 mm) and 15.0" (400 mm). The preset fixed length is 4.0" (100 mm). Any change you make to the fixed length setting remains in effect until you change it.
To set the label length
You can preview the text or format of your label prior to printing. A two-line label is previewed as a single-line label.
To preview your label
If you select Text, the text of the label scrolls across the display. If you select Format, the format selected displays briefly.
When you print a fixed length label you can choose to align the text at the left, center, or right side of the label. For multi-line labels, all lines of text are aligned left, center, and right relative to each other.
To align the text
The alignment setting remains active until you reset the alignment.
You can adjust the print contrast to fine tune the print quality of your label.
To set the contrast
The labelmaker has a powerful memory feature that stores text and formatting as follows:
The labelmaker automatically keeps the last three labels printed in a text buffer. In addition, you can store up to three specific labels you use frequently.
To store the current label text
Your label text is saved and you are returned to the label.
In addition to label text, you can store up to three specific label formats you use frequently. This feature stores only the formatting information not the label text.
To store the current format
and Formats You can easily recall labels and formats stored in memory to use at a later time.
To recall labels or formats
Your labelmaker is designed to give you long and trouble-free service, while requiring very little maintenance.
