Figure 1 DYMO® LabelManager® 120P Electronic Label Maker
With the DYMO® LabelManager® 120P electronic label maker, you can create a wide variety of high-quality, self-adhesive labels. You can choose to print your labels in many different font sizes and styles. The label maker uses DYMO D1 tape cassettes in widths of 3/8" (9 mm) or 1/2" (12 mm). These tape cassettes are available in a wide range of colors. Visit www.dymo.com for information on obtaining labels and accessories for your label maker.
Visit www.dymo.com/registration to register your label maker online.
Follow the instructions in this section to print your first label.
The label maker is powered by six high-capacity AA alkaline batteries. To save power, the label maker automatically turns off after two minutes of inactivity.
Remove the batteries if the label maker will not be used for a long period of time.
Your label maker comes with one tape cassette. Visit www.dymo.com for information about purchasing additional tape cassettes.
The first time you turn on the power, you are asked to select the language. This selection will remain set until you change it, or until the label maker is reset. You can change this selection using the key.
You are now ready to print your first label.
Congratulations! You 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 label maker. Refer to Figure 1. The following sections describe each feature in detail.
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 enter up to 99 characters and spaces. The display shows about 13 characters at a time. The number of characters displayed will vary due to proportional spacing.
With DYMO's exclusive graphical display, most of the formatting you add is visible instantly. For example, the border added to the text below is clearly displayed.
Feature indicators along the top of the LCD display appear black to let you know when a feature is selected.
The key displays the Language, Label Width, and Contrast submenus. These features are described later in this User Guide.
The key toggles capitalization on or off. When Caps mode is 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 appear in lower case.
The key provides access to the numbers located on some of the alphabetic keys. When Num Lock mode is turned on, the Num Lock indicator is shown on the display and the numbers 0 through 9 appear when you press the corresponding letter keys. Num Lock is turned off by default.
The key removes the character to the left of the cursor.
You can review and edit your label using the left and right arrow keys. You can also 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.
You can choose several format options to enhance the appearance of your labels.
Two font sizes are available for your labels: Normal and Large. The font size applies to all characters on a label. The font size key toggles the font from one size to the other.
You can choose different font styles:
Normal
Bold
Vertical
The style you select applies to all characters. Styles can be used with alphanumeric characters and some symbols. The font style keys toggle the style on and off.
You can highlight your text by choosing a border or underline style.
Square
Underline
A label can be underlined or enclosed in a border, but not both together.
Symbols and other special characters can be added to your labels.
The label maker supports the symbol set shown here.
The label maker supports the extended Latin character set using RACE technology. After pressing the Accent key, repeatedly pressing a letter scrolls through the available variations of that letter.
For example, if French is selected as the language and you 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 use.
You can preview your label and adjust the printing contrast.
You can preview your label prior to printing.
You can adjust the print contrast to fine tune the print quality of your label.
Your label maker is designed to give you long and trouble-free service, while requiring very little maintenance. Clean your label maker from time to time to keep it working properly. Clean the cutter blade each time you replace the tape cassette.
