Dymo Rhino 4200 Electronic Label Maker, Black/Yellow

I bought this labeler because it has a qwerty keyboard and because it can also print multi-line labels, and supports several widths of labels. I also like that it has a backlight display and is very quiet. However, it is missing the underscore and ampersand characters and many characters are hiding in sub menus making them a pain to use. They could have made them directly accessible with alt-letter keys. I also find the size 12 narrow font to be too wide. I was expecting for the same narrow font from the Dymo RhinoPro 1000. The quality of print looks like my now-dead RhinoPro 1000, but I had hoped it would now be a bit higher resolution. I would be nice if it had a computer interface. It seemed like the version of this labeler I looked at a few years back did have a computer interface.

I bought this to make cable wraps, label patch panels, label computers, and other things such as what it claims to be for. The naming convention for our PC's includes underscores. It was only after purchasing that I discovered that there is no underscore option... WHAT? Underscores are extremely common in IT where you would be making barcodes and cable wraps... how is there no underscore!? Beyond that, it can be very confusing on how to accomplish certain tasks. It comes with a little guide booklet that helps a bit, but nothing is ever really explained. It just says "to accomplish this, press this button, then that button, then this button." So if I have a task that isn't specifically detailed in that booklet, it's a mystery trying to figure out how to do it. I will agree with others that it does seem to jam a lot more often than I'm used to with label printers. Not sure if it's a design issue or what. Oh, one last thing. The print button and label cut switch are placed in such a manner that many times when I went to cut the label, I accidentally reprinted it. I just spent a lot of money on this considering it is a label maker, so I don't really want to buy a different one since this one isn't technically broken... I guess I'm just stuck with it for a while until I can get some ROI.

I am a special education teacher and purchased this label maker (rhino 4200 to create name labels for my student folders (last name, first name). $80 machine and $20 for (off brand) labels to discover the label maker does not have a comma button. I emailed the manufaurer to verify this was correct. This machine may be “top of the line” but it cannot perform the one simple task I bought it for. Also, dymo customer support is poor. Email response took 8 days and “online chat support” is nonexistent. I tried multiple times over serveral days during business hours and “no customer service representatives were available to assist me.”

Using this product to label cables and instrument panels and found it works well and is easy to use. I bought this one because it can also accept the printable shrink tubing which is really cool and makes for a pro looking install. At this price, it's a good value too.

Well designed, much better than their industrial models. Unfortunately unit delivered had shorted power circuit board. Waiting for replacement.
