DYMO Exclusive Hot Keys Industrial Label Maker

I have only had it for a few days, so far so good. lots of options and it is super easy to figure out all the functions.

works very well price is good

Had a similar previous unit that worked great until it disappeared

If you manage a data centre, or find you are printing feet of labels, this is the printer you want. This is my second Rhino. My first one took a header and wound up in several hundred bite sized pieces - it had lasted almost six years - unheard of in printer life times. This version is hefty and better designed. Access to batteries and tape do not require unwrapping, the corners are protected and the unit does not slide around on most surfaces. The labels print quickly and there are a number of font size selection, along with built in symbols, bar codes, and serialization options, which is great for patch panels and network cables. The only real downside is that I can't get spools of label tape longer than 11 feet! Oh well. That is not a downside of the printer.

This product is an excellent investment for my future jobs. It also has helped me troubleshoot so much with so little time... If I need to swap a cable then boom no questions asked on if its the right cable!

This is one well built unit, it has heft, maybe a bit too much, the case itself is nearly 1cm thick in places, including the bonded rubber coating. The girth of the unit I can handle, having big paws. But for someone with small hands might have trouble managing the unit without a tether. Have yet to really put it to the test yet, but my initial impression is that it'll be ready for whatever I ask it to do. Except cook... *sighs*

Dymo Rhino 5200. Very high quality case, keys, and very nice navigation through menus for characters. Prints black on a color or on white perfectly. When printing white, however, the output is mottled and in my mind, objectionable-I simply won't use the colored tapes for white text. I did clean the head as instructed in the manual-and the unit did print this way right out of the box.

Pros: Prints great in climate controlled environment Many useful preset label types Cons: Does not print legibly in cold environments** Jams frequently Battery indicator not accurate **major issue

Unit is advertised as being optimal for printing barcodes but they neglect to tell you that it forcibly adds a checksum digit onto code39 barcodes. A lovely feature that no other barcode printer forces. The checksum in that format is OPTIONAL and rarely used. Do not buy this product if you intend to print code39 barcodes without the forced checksum. Feel free to look anywhere in their documentation and you won't find this "feature" listed.

a steep learning curve, requires focused time, maybe a day or more to get this thing working. I have not been able to set aside a complete day to do noting but work with this. I bought a Lithium ion battery for it, but there us no charger and putting the battery into the lablemaker and plugging the unit into the wall does not charge the battery.
