About Your New Label Maker
Connecting the Optional Power Adapter
With the DYMO LabelManager 160 label maker, you can
create a wide variety of high-quality, self-adhesive labels.

sizes and styles. The label maker uses DYMO D1 label
cassettes in widths of 6 mm (1/4”), 9 mm (3/8”), or
12 mm (1/2”). Labels are available in a wide range of
colors.
