Introduction

The Display

The Dymo 9000 Electronic Labelmaker enables you to
create a wide variety of high quality self-adhesive
labels. These instructions describe how to use your
Labelmaker in stand-alone mode; for PC-Link operation
consult the relevant sections of the Dymo Label
Software manual.
The Labelmaker uses 6mm (1/4"), 12mm (1/2"),
19mm (3/4") 24mm (1") or 32mm (11/4") wide tape
cassettes in a number of label colours. Labels can be
tab-cut for easy removal from the backing tape.
Text can be printed horizontally or
in a variety of sizes and styles and can be left-justified,
right-justified or centred on the label.

The display shows:
• A ‘WYSIWYG’ representation of the label you are
creating in edit mode and menus for selecting
functions and features.
• A status bar at the bottom of the display.
