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:
The LabelPOINT uses 6mm (1/4"), 9mm (3/8") 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, right-
justified 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’.
information on obtaining tapes and accessories for the
LP200.
3. Close the lid, then press
to switch the power on.
The display should look like this:

AC ADAPTOR (optional)
• Connect the AC adaptor to socket Aꢂ. Inserting the
adaptor plug disconnects the supply from the batteries.
