Overview
A portable label maker with a full QWERTY keyboard, one-touch formatting keys and a large display for previewing text before printing. Built for home and office labeling rather than computer-designed labels, since it has no USB connection.
The QWERTY layout and one-touch keys are the main differentiators from cheaper D-pad label makers, letting text and basic formatting go in faster. It supports Dymo's standard tape widths and is meant to be used as a standalone handheld unit.
- Full QWERTY keyboard with one-touch formatting keys
- Large display for previewing labels before printing
- Supports 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 inch Dymo tape widths
- Automatic shutoff to save battery
Who it's for
Fits anyone labeling files, bins, cables or shelves who wants to type directly on the device rather than design on a computer. Not the right choice for anyone who wants to lay out labels in software first and print over USB, since this model has none.
Pros and cons
- Full QWERTY keyboard is faster to type on than a D-pad
- One-touch keys apply bold, underline and other formatting quickly
- Auto shutoff extends battery life
- No USB connection for computer-designed labels
- Needs authentic Dymo tape for reliable results
- Limited to the three listed tape widths
Performance notes
Text goes in on the QWERTY keyboard, with one-touch keys handling bold, underline and other formatting without digging through menus, and the display shows the label before it prints. The maker supports over 20 formatting options and 200-plus symbols and clip art, and it powers down automatically when idle to extend battery life. It is built to run on authentic Dymo tape in 1/4 inch, 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch widths.
