About Your New Labelmaker

With your new DYMO LetraTag® labelmaker, you can create a wide

variety of high-quality, self-adhesive labels. You can choose to print

your labels in many different font sizes and styles. The labelmaker

12 mm

label cassettes. LT cassettes are

available in multiple colors of plastic and metallic tape, and in white

iron-on tape.

Visit www.dymo.com for information on obtaining labels and

accessories for your labelmaker.
