Connecting to Your Computer

Software. Your label maker connects to your computer using
the USB connection located on the top of the label maker. See
Figure 8.

Refer to the LabelManager 450D Quick Start Card for installation
instructions and the DYMO Label Software User Guide for
information about designing and printing labels.
Formatting Your Label
You can choose from a number of formatting options to
enhance the appearance of your labels.
x The label maker remembers the last feature selection
made so that each time you enter one of the feature menus
described in this section, you are positioned at the last item
selected from that menu.
Changing the Font
Seven fonts are available for your labels:
Arial Narrow
Arial Normal
Arial Wide
BIG
Times New Roman
When you specify a font, that font applies to all characters
on the label. If you want to use more than one font, you must
insert format breaks. See Using Mixed Formats on page 10
for more information.
