With your new DYMO LabelPoint™ 350 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 6 mm (1/4"), 9 mm (3/8"), 12 mm (1/2"), or 19 mm (3/4"). 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 for details.
Follow these instructions to print your first label.
The labelmaker is powered by standard batteries, an optional, rechargeable battery pack, or an AC power adapter. To save power, the labelmaker will automatically turn off after two minutes of inactivity.
The labelmaker uses six AA alkaline batteries.
To insert the batteries
Remove the batteries if the labelmaker will not be used for a long period of time.
An optional, rechargeable battery pack can be used to power the labelmaker. The battery pack can be purchased through your local DYMO reseller.
The labelmaker must be connected to external power through the AC adapter to charge the battery pack. When the battery pack is completely discharged, allow four to five hours to fully charge the battery.
When connected to external power, the battery charging indicator may continue to display even though the battery pack is fully charged.
To use the battery pack
An optional AC power adapter can also be used to power the labelmaker. Connecting the AC adapter to the labelmaker disconnects the batteries as a power source.
To connect the power adapter
Make sure the labelmaker power is turned off before you disconnect the power adapter from the main power source. Otherwise, your most recent memory settings will be lost.
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 the language and corresponding units of measure you want the labelmaker to use.
You can select from a number of different language options. By default, the language is set to English.
To select a language
You can choose to show measurements in inches or millimeters. By default, the units of measure are set to inches.
To set the units of measure
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.
The following sections describe each feature in detail. Become familiar with the location of the feature and function keys on your labelmaker. See Figure 1 on the inside front cover.
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.
The labelmaker's LCD display shows a row of 16 characters. However, you can enter up to 99 characters and spaces.
The display is similar to a window that scrolls across the text. (See Figure 6.) 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 7.
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.
The key allows you to exit from a menu without making a selection or to cancel an action.
You can review and edit your label using the left and right arrows on the Navigation key. You can navigate through menu selections using the up and down arrow keys, and then press to make a selection.
Your labelmaker can be used as a standalone label printer or you can print labels from your computer using DYMO Label Software. Your labelmaker connects to your computer using the USB connection located on the top of the labelmaker. See Figure 8.
Refer to the LabelPoint 350 Quick Start Card for installation instructions and the DYMO Label Software User Guide for information about designing and printing labels.
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.
Seven font sizes are available for your labels:
When you select a font, that font applies to all characters on a label. If you want to use more than one font, you must insert format breaks. See Using Mixed Formats for more information.
To set the font
You can apply different fonts and format styles to the text on a label by inserting format breaks to divide the label into blocks or sections of text. You can add two format breaks allowing you to apply three separate formats per label.
Alignment, underline, box styles, and background patterns cannot be mixed on a label. These styles are common to the entire label.
To add a format break
You can choose from thirteen different font styles to apply to your text. See Figure 9.
When you select a style, that style applies to all characters on a label. If you want to use more than one style, you must insert format breaks. See Using Mixed Formats for more information. However, when you use mirror or vertical style, that style applies to the whole label.
Styles can be used with all 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, underline, or background style.
A label can be underlined or enclosed in a box or background, but not both together.
To set the box style
On multi-line labels, all lines are underlined. In box style mode, all the lines are enclosed in one box style.
The number of lines you can print on a label depends on the size label you are using:
To create a multiple-line label
The display shows the line on which you are currently entering text. The example below indicates that the second line is the current line on the label.
Use the arrow keys to move between lines.
You can add tabs to a label to align text on multi-line labels. Tabs are left justified and the default spacing is 50 mm (2.0").
To change the tab spacing
To insert a tab
Symbols and other special characters can be added to your labels.
The labelmaker supports the extended symbol set as shown in Figure 11.
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.
Currency Symbols
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 serialized labels, 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.
You can print a series of labels with the last number incremented by one number. The number of labels serialized depends upon the number of copies you selected to print. Only the last series of numbers that follows any letter, space, or punctuation will be serialized. For example, abc123 will print as abc123, abc124, abc125; and 123-998 will print as 123-998, 123-999, 123-1000, and so on.
To serialize your labels
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 2 mm (0.1") increments between 40 mm (1.5") and 400 mm (15.0"). The preset fixed length is 100 mm (4.0"). Any change you make to the fixed-length setting remains in effect until you change it.
To set the label length
The labelmaker can print barcodes in six standard formats: UPC A, UPC E, EAN8, EAN13, CODE-39, and CODE-128. You can only print a barcode on 19 mm (3/ 4") labels; and you can only print one barcode per label.
The barcode prints horizontally along the label with the text in small print underneath the barcode. You can optionally add text before and after the barcode. Or, you can add text above or below the barcode by creating a two-line label. See Creating Multi-Line Labels.
Four of the standard barcodes require a fixed number of characters to generate the barcode: EAN-8, EAN-13, UPC-A, and UPC-E. CODE-39 and CODE-128 barcodes allow a variable number of characters to be entered.
To create a barcode
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
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 fifteen labels printed in a text buffer. In addition, you can store up to ten 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 ten specific label formats you use frequently. This feature stores only the formatting information not the label text.
To store the current format
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.
Clean your labelmaker from time to time to keep it working properly. Clean the cutter blade each time you replace the label cassette.
To clean the cutter blade
You can also follow this procedure if the cutter blade becomes lodged in the forward position and will not move.
