Introduction

The DYMO LabelPOINT 200 (LP200) enables you to create
a wide variety of high quality self-adhesive labels of up to
90 characters.

Creating your first label
You will no doubt be anxious to see what your
new LabelPOINT 200 can do. Before we go on to explore
the many advanced features of the LP200, follow these
simple steps to create your first label:

3

The LabelPOINT uses 6mm ( /4"), 9mm ( /8") or 12mm
(1/2") wide tape cassettes in a number of label colors.
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, rightjustified or centered on the label.

1. Fit the batteries, or connect the AC adaptor, plug in and
switch on at the wall socket - see ‘Power Supply’.
2. Open the cassette compartment lid and check that the
tape cassette is fitted correctly – see page 2 and
‘Changing the Cassette’.
3. Close the lid, then press
to switch the power on.
The display should look like this:

Visit our website (www.dymo.com) for more
information on obtaining tapes and accessories for the
LP200.

Power Supply

1

BATTERIES
• Apply pressure to thumb catch then open and lift away
battery compartment cover – see fig A➊, page 2.
• Insert six size AA alkaline or re-chargeable Nickelcadmium batteries, observing the polarity markings
A➋, and close the cover.
• Remove batteries if the LabelPOINT is to be unused for
some time.

Cursor flashing
4. Use the keyboard to type in your full name.
Each character you enter will appear on the display, for
example:

AC ADAPTOR (optional)

DYMO

• Connect the AC adaptor to socket A➌. 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 may be lost (see
also ON/OFF).

• For an UPPER CASE character, press and hold down
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 DEL 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 right
hand side of the machine. Wait until the mechanism
has stopped, then press 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 —
don’t waste it! If this is your personal machine, why not
affix the label to the underside to identify its owner? You
have just found the first of many uses for your DYMO
labels.

Changing the cassette
• Press catch in and open hinged access doorB➊.
• Hold as shown, then lift cassette B➋ straight up and
out.
• Ensure tape and ribbon B➌ are taut across mouth of
cassette and tape passes between guideposts before
installing as shown. If necessary, turn spool B❹
clockwise to tighten ribbon.
• Check that cassette switch B❺ 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 C➊ and pinch rollerC➋.
• Push firmly C➌ until cassette clicks into place. Ensure
tape and ribbon are positioned correctly.

PRINT

• Close door B➊ until it clicks shut.
