Dymo 3000 instruction manual Printing Options, Printing Multiple Copies, Serializing Your Labels

Printing Options

You can choose to print multiple copies of the same label, print serialized labels, or print a combination of both.

Printing Multiple Copies

You can print up to 50 copies of the same label at one time. When printing multiple copies, a dotted cut-line is printed between each label.

To print multiple copies

1.Press +.

2.Press the ;arrow to increase the number of copies to print. The default is 2 copies.

3.Press the :arrow to decrease the number of copies (maximum is 50).

4.Press to begin printing.

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 2.

Serializing Your Labels

You can print serialized labels numerically or alphabetically. Numbers can be incremented from 1-99 and letters from A-Z.

You can serialize any number or letter by placing the cursor () behind the position to be incremented, such as the number 2 in 123 or the letter B in ABC. For example, with the cursor behind the 2 in 123 and the increment #=3, the resulting labels would print as 123, 133, and 143.

123 133 143

Figure 12

When the letter Z or the number 9 is reached during serialization, a letter or number is added to increase the increment. For example, Z increments to AA and 9 increments to 10.

When a space is present in a string to be serialized, only the numbers or letters after the space are serialized.

To serialize your labels

1.Enter the text for your label.

2.Use the arrow keys to move the cursor behind the letter or number to serialize.

3.Press SERIAL .

4. Select the increment and press . Printing begins automatically.

Advancing the Label Tape

The default leader space for all labels is approximately 7/16” (11.5 mm). To add additional blank space to the beginning or end of your label, you can feed the tape in 0.25” (6 mm) increments.

To feed the label tape

♦Press + BOX/UL .
