Overview
DYMO puts a QWERTY keyboard, a large graphical display and a rechargeable battery into this handheld label maker for home and office. Plug it into a PC or Mac with the included cable to use computer fonts, graphics and barcodes.
Typing on a real keyboard and printing without hunting for batteries make labeling sessions quick. Tape widths top out at the half-inch size, and the listing does not say how long a charge lasts.
Who it's for
Home organizers and office workers labeling files, shelves and cords get a fast, rechargeable labeler. Anyone needing wide labels or industrial tapes should look at a heavier-duty model.
Pros and cons
- Formatting keys for quick edits

Performance notes
Thermal printing produces black text on DYMO label tapes, with formatting keys changing size and style in one press. Connecting to a computer unlocks extra fonts, graphics and barcodes. Auto power off conserves the battery between uses.
