User Guide

Connecting the Power

The label maker is powered by a rechargeable, lithium-polymer (LiPo) battery.

The battery installed in your label maker ships partially charged. For best results,

fully charge the battery before using the label maker for the first time.

See Power Status on page 10 for information about visually determining the

battery charging status.

Charging the Battery

Fully charging a discharged battery will

take approximately three and a half hours.

You can continue to work as long as the

power adapter is connected.

Make sure to read the LiPo Safety

Precautions found on page 56.

To charge the battery

1On the left side of the label maker,

gently lift and turn the connector

cover to expose the power

connector. See Figure 2.

2Plug the power cord into the power adapter. See Figure 3.

3Plug the barrel end of the power adapter into the power connector.

4Plug the power cord into a power outlet.

The power status will show charging in the upper right corner of the

label maker’s display.

Removing and Replacing the Battery

The LiPo battery is designed to provide years of

service. In the unlikely situation that you need to

replace the battery, a replacement battery can

be ordered from www.dymo.com.

Make sure the power adapter and USB cable

are disconnected before handling the LiPo

battery.

To remove the battery

1Press and hold for approximately five

seconds to turn the power completely off.

2Disconnect the power adapter and USB

cable.

3Using a #1 Phillips head screwdriver,

loosen the screw holding the battery cover

in place. See Figure 4.

The screw is attached to the battery cover. Do not remove the screw

completely from the cover.

4Lift off the cover.

5Pinch the sides of the battery

connector to release and gently

pull up to disconnect the battery.

See Figure 5.

6Remove the battery.

7Insert the new battery and gently

press the connector into place.

8Replace the cover over the battery

compartment.

9Tighten the screw only until the

battery cover is secure.

Make sure to read the LiPo Safety Precautions found on page 56.

About Labels

The label maker uses DYMO XTL®label cartridges in label widths of 1/4”, 3/8”,

1/2”, 3/4”, 1”, 1 1/2”, or 2” (6 mm, 9 mm, 12 mm, 19 mm, or 24 mm, 41 mm, or

54 mm). Labels are available as continuous tape or pre-sized labels for specific

applications.

The label cartridge that is inserted in the label maker determines the type of labels

you can create and print. For example, if you have a 1” continuous label cartridge

inserted, you will not be able to create a heat-shrink tube or laminated cable wrap

label.

See Using the Label Applications on page 14 for information about the types of

labels you can use with each label application.

Visit www.dymo.com for information on obtaining labels for your label maker.

Inserting the Label Cartridge

A sensitive electronic chip is embedded in the

side of each label cartridge. This chip contains

information that is read by the label maker and

DYMO ID™software. This chip must be kept

clean to function properly.

Do not touch the electronic chip in the side of

the cartridge; oils from your hand may prevent

the chip from working properly. See Figure 6.

To insert the label cartridge

1Press the label compartment release

and lift the cover. See Figure 7.

2Make sure the tape and ribbon are taut

across the mouth of the label cartridge

and that the tape passes between the

label guides. See Figure 6.

To tighten the ribbon, turn the ribbon

rewind spool in the direction indicated

by the arrow on the cartridge.

3Insert the cartridge and press firmly until

the cartridge ‘clicks’ into place.

4Close the label compartment cover.

Removing the Label Cartridge

You can design labels without a label cartridge inserted in the label maker. Just

remember to insert a compatible label cartridge before attempting to print. See

Using the Label Applications on page 14.

To remove the label cartridge

1Press the label compartment release and lift the cover. See Figure 7.

2Remove the label cartridge.

You can now create labels using any of the label applications. When you start a

new label, you will be asked to select a label cartridge to use.

you select a label application, you are asked to select the properties for your new

label.
