What the DYMO
LetraTAG XR can do for you
With the LetraTAG XR you can print a wide
range of high-quality labels in different sizes
and styles. The LetraTAG can print on
coloured, transparent, metallic and iron-on
fabric tapes. See the list of DYMO cassettes
available for the LetraTAG XR at the end of
this guide.
How to use your DYMO
LetraTAG XR
Getting started: your first label in six easy
steps
- Remove the battery cover (Fig A)
- Insert six size AA alkaline batteries, observ-
ing the polarity markings and close the cover.
- Remove the batteries if the LetraTAG is to
remain unused for some time.
Open the cassette door
Insert cassette (Fig B). and gently press on
the centre of the cassette until it clicks into
place (Fig C).
Check the cassette is correctly positioned
before closing the cassette door.
Press the red button to switch on.
Note: the label maker switches off automati-
cally after 2 minutes if no keys are pressed.
Type a simple label first to try the machine.
Learn more about formatting in the following
pages.
Press “print” to print your label.
Use the cutter button on the right-hand side
of the LetraTag to cut the label (Fig E)
Congratulations ! You’ve just printed your
first label !
Setting the language
Setting the language will define which extra
characters your LetraTAG can print, so that
you have fast access to the accented charac-
ters or currency symbols you need in your
language or country. It will also specify the
language in which error messages appear on
the display.
Press LANGUAGE ( + ). An abbre-
viation of a language will appear. Use Qor R
to scroll through the alphabetical list of lan-
guage abbreviations until you reach the one
you require. Then press to select. Note
that the starting point for the list of lan-
guages depends on the model:

Note: whenever you change the batteries,
you will have to reset the language.
Typing labels
Typing normal characters
If you want to type numbers, press
and the key.
Or use the number lock as a useful alterna-
tive to the shift key.
Press to set this feature which makes F-
O become 1-0, press again to exit.
If you make a mistake, press and the
cursor will delete the character on the left of
the current cursor position, and will move
one place to the left.
The key is a toggle key. Press it to start
typing in capitals. You will see the CAPS indi-
cator is highlighted on the display. Press it
again when you want to drop back to lower
case.
The key inserts a blank space within
your label.
Extra characters
LetraTAG XR also stores a large number of
extra characters (such as other letters or
accented letters). It uses RACE technology,
like a mobile phone keyboard. If you tap the
same key repeatedly within a short time, you
can scroll through a sequence of characters
based on that letter. For example, pressing
the Ekey repeatedly in the French-language
version will scroll through e - é - è - ê - ë. If
you wait for more than one second, the char-
acter will be selected, and the cursor will
move on to the next position.
Example:
Type atwice, and the letter àappears. If
you tap the key again within one second, á
will appear. Pause for a second, and the
letter áwill be selected, and the cursor will
move on to the next position.
Graphic symbols
You can also insert a number of graphic
symbols. To insert a symbol, press SYMBOL
(+ )
The display will show: A-I?
Press to cancel or press a letter key ‘A’
to ‘I’ until you find the line of symbols
required. See table.
Use Qor Rto select a symbol. Press to
place the symbol in the label.
Text over two lines
You can add a second line to your label by
pressing . If the display shows Abc 123,
your label will print:
The text will be centred on the label. Note
that you cannot print two-line labels in cer-
tain formats (big font, vertical). If you try
this, the message Error 5 will alert you.

Checking what you’ve typed
The display will show six characters of the
text you have typed, plus the cursor. The
PREVIEW function (press + )
will automatically scroll through entire text of
the label. You can also scroll manually
through the label using the Qand Rkeys.
If you want to edit the label, use the Qand R
keys to move the cursor through the text to
the place you want, then type or delete.
Adding a break between two labels
The function (SHIFT + D) is a ‘label
break’. You can use this to end one label’s
text and start another.
Storing text: the text buffer
You can store up to 70 characters in the text
buffer of your LetraTAG XR, in as many as 20
labels. These characters will remain in the
buffer, even if you switch off. If you try to
type when the text buffer is full, the message
ERROR 4 will appear. You will then have
delete part or all of the text in the buffer in
order to make a new label.
You can quickly move to the beginning of the
buffer by pressing << (+Q). Go to
the end of the buffer by pressing >> (
+ R).
To delete the entire contents of the buffer,
press CLEAR (+)
Formatting labels
You can use a wide range of formatting
options to change the font style in your
printed label, such as font size, bold, italic,
boxed, vertical etc. The way you format
these characters is shown by a combination
of indicators above the text display.
Display indicators
There are 6 display indicators. When one or
more of these indicators is highlighted, it
shows the relevant formatting option is active:
CAPS: Characters are typed as capital letters
The label will be printed underlined or
in a certain type of box.
STYLE The label will be printed in a certain
selected text style.
BThe label will be printed in Big Font
size.
Numbers are selected instead of the
characters.
SHIFT The shifted numbers or functions can
now be accessed
If you try a combination of formats which the
machine cannot produce, an error message
will appear. See error message list in
Troubleshooting.
