Chapter 1: Getting Started

Creating
Your Own
Label
This tutorial guides you through the steps necessary to
create, print, and save a customized label. The best way to
start is to learn how to modify one of the label templates
included with the software. In this tutorial, you will
customize a shipping label.
"
You can only print this shipping label on wide print-head
printers. Although the LabelWriter EL40 and
LabelWriter 300 cannot print this shipping label, we
recommend that you follow along. This tutorial will give
you valuable information on how to access the various
text and design objects and change their attributes.
Choose a
Template
The first step is to choose a label template as the basis for
your new label.
1.
Click
DYMO Label Software
from the
Apple
menu to
start the program.
The
DYMO Label
window is displayed containing a
blank label.
2.
In the
Label Templates
box, click the
Shipping with
graphic (30256)
template.
"
The 30256 label is shipped with the EL60, Turbo, 330,
and 330 Turbo model printers. If you have an EL40 or
300 model printer, select this label anyway, and follow
along with the exercise.
