With your new DYMO LabelManager 350D label
maker, you can create a wide variety of high-quality,
self-adhesive labels. You can choose to print your
labels in many different sizes and styles. The label
maker uses DYMO D1 label cassettes in widths of 1/4”
(6 mm), 3/8” (9 mm), 1/2” (12 mm), 3/4” (19 mm), or
1” (24 mm). Label cassettes are also available in a wide
range of materials.

Getting to Know the Label Maker
The following sections describe each feature in detail.
Become familiar with the location of the feature and
function keys on your label maker. See Figure 1 on
Figure 7
CAPS Mode
The CAPS key toggles capitalization on and off. When
CAPS mode is turned on, the CAPS mode indicator is
shown on the display and all letters that you enter will
be capitalized. The default setting is CAPS mode on.
When CAPS mode is off, all letters entered appear in
lower case.
Power
The
button turns the power on and off. After two
minutes of no activity, the power is switched off
automatically. The last label created is remembered
and displayed when the power is turned back on. The
previously selected style settings are also restored.
Shift Key
The Shift key, when used in combination with an
alphabet key, changes the case of the selected letter.
When used in combination with number keys or
function keys, the Shift key selects the alternate
function shown on the key. For example, when you
press Backspace, the character to the left of the
cursor is deleted; however, when you press
Shift+Backspace together, the entire label text and
formatting is deleted and the display is ready for you
to type a new label.
LCD Display
The label maker’s LCD display shows a row of sixteen
characters. However, you can enter up to 99 characters
and spaces.
The display is similar to a window that scrolls across
the text. (See Figure 6.) The number of characters
actually displayed can vary due to proportional
spacing.

Adding Font Styles
Space Bar
The Space Bar inserts one or more blank spaces in
your text.
You can choose from six different font styles to apply to
your text:
Normal

Using Symbols and Special Characters
Symbols and other special characters can be added to
your labels.
Adding International Characters
The label maker supports the extended Latin character
set using RACE technology. Similar to using a mobile
phone keypad, if you type a letter multiple times
within a very short time, you will scroll through
variations on that letter.
For example, if you repeatedly press the letter a, you
will see a à á â ã ä å and so on through all the
variations available. The order in which the character
variations appear depends on the language you have
selected to use.
Currency Symbols
The currency key $ also uses RACE to scroll through a
number of currency symbols:
$ e £ ¢ ¥
The order these symbols appear depends on the
keyboard version and language you have selected.
Adding Symbols

The label maker supports the extended symbol set as
shown in Figure 10.
To add a symbol
1. Press Symbols. The first row of symbols shown in

Printing Options
You can print multiple copies of a label at one time,
print fixed-length labels, review label text and format,
and adjust the printing contrast.
Setting a Fixed Label Length
Normally, the length of the label is determined by the
length of the text entered. However, you may wish to
make a label for a specific purpose that is a fixed
length regardless of the length of the text.
Printing Multiple Copies
You can print up to 16 copies of a label at one time.
When printing multiple copies, a dotted cut-line is
printed between each label.
You can specify a fixed length for a label in 0.1”(2 mm)
increments between 1.5” (40 mm) and 15.0” (400
mm). The preset fixed length is 1.5”(40 mm). Any
change you make to the fixed length setting remains
in effect until you change it.
To print multiple copies of the label
1. Press Extra and then select # Copies.
2. Press the up arrow key to increase the number of
copies to print.
3. Press the down arrow key to begin decreasing the
number of copies from 16.
To set the label length

4. Press OK.
5. Press Print to begin printing.
2. Press the up arrow to increase the length.
3. Press the down arrow to decrease the length.

5. After you print the label, press Clear to turn off the
fixed label length setting; otherwise, all your
subsequent labels will print with this fixed length.
x You may notice a brief pause in printing between
each label for more complex formats.
When printing is finished, the number of copies to
print returns to the default value of 1.
