Overview

The DYMO LabelManager 210D is an electronic label maker designed for creating a wide variety of high-quality, self-adhesive labels. It offers users flexibility in choosing font sizes and styles, and it utilizes DYMO D1 tape cassettes available in widths of 6 mm, 9 mm, or 12 mm, and a range of colors.

Function Description

The core function of the LabelManager 210D is to allow users to input text and format it into printable labels. It features a QWERTY keyboard for text entry, an LCD display for previewing labels, and dedicated keys for various formatting and operational functions.

Power and Setup:

The device can be powered by six high-capacity AA alkaline batteries or an optional 9 Volt, 1.5 A AC power adapter. To conserve power, the label maker automatically turns off after two minutes of inactivity. When first turned on, the device prompts the user to select a language, units of measurement (inches or mm), and the width of the tape cassette currently inserted. These settings remain until changed or the device is reset.

Text Input and Editing:

Users can enter up to 99 characters and spaces. The LCD displays approximately 13 characters at a time, with the number varying due to proportional spacing. The device supports three input modes: Arabic, Latin uppercase, and Latin lowercase, toggled using the "Input Mode" key. The "Shift" key allows for entering secondary characters in Arabic mode or toggling between uppercase and lowercase in Latin modes. The "Backspace/Cancel" key deletes characters to the left of the cursor in Latin mode and to the right in Arabic mode, with a long press deleting multiple characters. The "NEW" key clears the current text and formatting, preparing for a new label.

Formatting Features:

The LabelManager 210D offers extensive formatting options to customize labels:

  • Font Size: Five font sizes are available, applied to all characters on a label. The available sizes depend on the selected label width and whether a box or underline is used.
  • Font Width: Two font widths are available: normal and wide.
  • Font Styles: Six font styles can be applied: Normal, Bold, Italic, Shadow, Outline, and Vertical. Italic and Vertical styles cannot be applied to Arabic characters. The selected style applies to all alphanumeric characters and some symbols on the label.
  • Borders and Underline Styles: Users can highlight text with various border styles (Underline, Square, Rounded, Edged, Pointed, Parchment, Call Out, Flowers, Crocodile) or an underline. A label can have an underline or a box, but not both simultaneously. For two-line labels, underlines apply to each line, while a box encloses both lines as a single unit.
  • Two-Line Labels: The device supports printing up to two lines of text on a label, though 6 mm (1/4") labels can only accommodate one line.
  • Text Alignment: Text can be aligned left, right, or centered on the label, with centered being the default.
  • Mirror Text: This feature allows printing text that reads from right to left, as it would appear in a mirror.

Special Characters and Graphics:

The label maker supports a wide range of symbols, clip art, and special characters:

  • Punctuation and Symbols: An extended symbol set is available, accessed via the "& #" key. Navigation keys allow users to browse horizontally through rows of symbols and vertically through different symbol types.
  • Clip Art: A selection of clip art images can be inserted into labels.
  • International Characters: The device supports the extended Latin character set using RACE technology. Pressing the accented character key and then repeatedly pressing a letter scrolls through available variations of that letter (e.g., 'a' cycles through 'a', 'à', 'â', 'æ').

Fixed-Length Labels:

While label length normally adjusts to text length, users can set a fixed label length for specific applications, up to 400 mm (15"). If the text cannot fit the chosen fixed length, the device displays a message indicating the smallest possible label length for that text.

Memory Features:

The LabelManager 210D includes a memory feature to save and recall up to nine frequently used labels, including their text and all formatting. This allows users to quickly access and reuse common label designs.

Usage Features

Inserting Tape Cassettes:

The label maker comes with one tape cassette, and additional cassettes can be purchased. To insert a cassette, the tape compartment cover is lifted, the cassette is placed with the label facing up between guideposts, and pressed firmly until it clicks into place. The cover is then closed. A crucial safety note warns users about the extremely sharp cutter blade and advises keeping fingers away from it during cassette replacement.

Printing a Label:

After entering and formatting text, users press the "Print" button. They can then use navigation keys to select the number of copies before pressing "OK" to initiate printing. Finally, the cutter button is pressed to cut the label.

The "Menu" key provides access to four tabs: Symbols/Clip Art, Format, Memory, and Settings. Repeatedly pressing "Menu" cycles through these tabs. Within menus, all four navigation keys are used to move through selections, and "OK" is pressed to confirm a choice. The "Cancel" key exits a menu without making a selection or cancels an action like printing.

Maintenance Features

The DYMO LabelManager 210D is designed for long, trouble-free service with minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning helps ensure proper operation.

Cleaning the Cutter Blade:

The cutter blade should be cleaned each time the tape cassette is replaced. To do this, the tape cassette is removed, and the cutter button is pressed and held to expose the blade. A cotton ball with alcohol is then used to clean both sides of the blade. Again, a warning emphasizes the sharpness of the blade and the need to avoid direct contact.

Cleaning the Print Head:

To clean the print head, the tape cassette is removed. A cleaning tool, typically found inside the label compartment cover, is used. If a cleaning tool is not available, users are advised to contact DYMO Customer Care. The padded side of the tool is gently wiped across the print head.

Battery Management:

To prevent battery leakage and damage, batteries should be removed if the label maker will not be used for a long period. When using the optional AC power adapter, it's important to ensure the label maker is turned off before disconnecting the adapter from the main power source, as disconnecting it while on may result in the loss of recent memory settings.

Troubleshooting:

The manual provides a troubleshooting guide for common issues such as "No display," "Poor Print Quality," "Poor Cutter Performance," "Too many characters," "Too many lines," "Batteries almost discharged," and "Tape Jam." Solutions include checking power, replacing batteries, adjusting contrast, ensuring proper tape cassette installation, cleaning the print head or cutter blade, deleting text, inserting a wider tape cassette, or removing jammed labels. For further assistance, DYMO Customer Support contact information is provided.
