Introduction
The Dymo Labelpoint LP300 enables you to create a wide variety of high quality self-adhesive labels of up to 90 characters. The Labelpoint uses 6mm (1/4"), 9mm (3/8"), 12mm (1/2") or 19mm (3/4") wide tape cassettes in a number of label colours. Labels are back slit for easy removal from the backing tape. Text can be printed horizontally or vertically in a variety of sizes and styles and can be left-justified, right-justified or centred on the label. Visit www.dymo.com for information on obtaining tapes and accessories for your LP300.
Creating your first label
You will no doubt be anxious to see what your new Labelpoint LP300 can do. Before we go on to explore the many advanced features of the LP300, follow these simple steps to create your first label: 1. Fit the batteries, or connect the AC adaptor, plug in and switch on at the wall socket - Power Supply. 2. Open the cassette compartment lid and check that the tape cassette is fitted correctly see page 2 and Changing the Casette. 3. Close the lid, then press to switch the power on. The display should look like this:

Warranty Registration

Please complete the warranty registration card and return it to the relevant address, within seven days see the warranty booklet for details.
Cursor flashing 4. Use the keyboard to type in your full name. Each character you enter will appear on the display, for example:

Power Supply

BATTERIES Apply pressure to thumb catch then open and lift away battery compartment cover see fig A, page 2. Insert six size AA alkaline or re-chargeable Nickelcadmium batteries, observing the polarity markings A, and close cover. Remove batteries if the Labelpoint is to be unused for some time. AC ADAPTOR (optional) Connect the AC adaptor to socket A. Inserting the adaptor plug disconnects the supply from the batteries. Unplug the AC adaptor from the Labelpoint before disconnecting the mains power to the adaptor, otherwise last label memory settings will be lost (see also ON/OFF).

Changing the cassette

Press catch in and open hinged access doorB. Hold as shown, then lift cassette B straight up and out. Ensure tape and ribbon B are taut across mouth of cassette and tape passes between guideposts before installing as shown. If necessary, turn spool B clockwise to tighten ribbon. Check that cassette switch B is set for the cassette type see page 2. A notch in the cassette will fit over the switch when it is set correctly. Insert cassette with tape and ribbon positioned as shown between print head C and pinch rollerC. Push firmly C until cassette clicks into place. Ensure tape and ribbon are positioned correctly. Close door B until it clicks shut.

For an UPPER CASE character, press once followed by the character required. Press CAPS for all subsequent characters in UPPER CASE. Press the space bar once for the space between each name. If you make a mistake, press to delete the error, then type in the correction. 5. When you have finished, press. A label will be printed and will emerge from the slot in the top of the machine. Wait until the mechanism has stopped, then press down the cutter lever E to cut off the label and remove it from the machine. You should now have a high quality printed name label dont waste it! If this is your personal machine, why not fix the label to the underside to identify its owner? You have just found the first of many uses for your DYMO labels.
