Introduction
The Dymo 9000 Electronic Labelmaker enables you to
create a wide variety of high quality self-adhesive
labels. These instructions describe how to use your
Labelmaker in stand-alone mode; for PC-Link operation
consult the relevant sections of the Dymo Label
Software manual.
The Labelmaker uses 6mm (
1 /
4
"), 12mm ( 1 /
2
"),
19mm ( 3 /
4
") 24mm (1") or 32mm (1 1 /
4
") wide tape
cassettes in a number of label colours. Labels can be
tab-cut for easy removal from the backing tape.
Text can be printed horizontally or
in a variety of sizes and styles and can be left-justified,
right-justified or centred on the label.

of cassettes (wind the ink ribbon cassette on a little if
necessary before inserting cassette).

• Insert cassettes with tape and ribbon positioned as
shown between pinch roller C➋ and print head C➌ .

When this occurs further printing will be prevented
until you remove the label. See ‘Troubleshooting’.

Labelmaker will prompt you to select the correct tape
width installed – see CASSETTE in the SET UP
