Connecting the Power
The label maker is powered by a rechargeable, lithium-polymer (LiPo) battery.
The battery installed in your label maker ships partially charged. For best results,
fully charge the battery before using the label maker for the first time.
See Power Status on page 10 for information about visually determining the
battery charging status.
Charging the Battery
Fully charging a discharged battery will
take approximately three and a half hours.
You can continue to work as long as the
power adapter is connected.
Make sure to read the LiPo Safety
Precautions found on page 56.
To charge the battery
1On the left side of the label maker,
gently lift and turn the connector
cover to expose the power
connector. See Figure 2.
2Plug the power cord into the power adapter. See Figure 3.
3Plug the barrel end of the power adapter into the power connector.
4Plug the power cord into a power outlet.
The power status will show charging in the upper right corner of the
label maker’s display.

Removing and Replacing the Battery
The LiPo battery is designed to provide years of
service. In the unlikely situation that you need to
replace the battery, a replacement battery can

are disconnected before handling the LiPo
battery.
To remove the battery
1Press and hold for approximately five
seconds to turn the power completely off.
2Disconnect the power adapter and USB
cable.
3Using a #1 Phillips head screwdriver,
loosen the screw holding the battery cover
in place. See Figure 4.
The screw is attached to the battery cover. Do not remove the screw
completely from the cover.
4Lift off the cover.
5Pinch the sides of the battery
connector to release and gently
pull up to disconnect the battery.
See Figure 5.
6Remove the battery.

About Labels
The label maker uses DYMO XTL®label cartridges in label widths of 1/4”, 3/8”,
1/2”, 3/4”, 1”, 1 1/2”, or 2” (6 mm, 9 mm, 12 mm, 19 mm, or 24 mm, 41 mm, or
54 mm). Labels are available as continuous tape or pre-sized labels for specific
applications.
The label cartridge that is inserted in the label maker determines the type of labels
you can create and print. For example, if you have a 1” continuous label cartridge
inserted, you will not be able to create a heat-shrink tube or laminated cable wrap
label.
See Using the Label Applications on page 14 for information about the types of
labels you can use with each label application.
Visit www.dymo.com for information on obtaining labels for your label maker.

Inserting the Label Cartridge
A sensitive electronic chip is embedded in the
side of each label cartridge. This chip contains
information that is read by the label maker and
DYMO ID™software. This chip must be kept
clean to function properly.
Do not touch the electronic chip in the side of
the cartridge; oils from your hand may prevent
the chip from working properly. See Figure 6.
To insert the label cartridge
1Press the label compartment release
and lift the cover. See Figure 7.
2Make sure the tape and ribbon are taut
across the mouth of the label cartridge
and that the tape passes between the
label guides. See Figure 6.
To tighten the ribbon, turn the ribbon
rewind spool in the direction indicated
by the arrow on the cartridge.
3Insert the cartridge and press firmly until
the cartridge ‘clicks’ into place.
4Close the label compartment cover.
