DYMO Label Maker, LabelManager 280 Rechargeable Portable Label Maker, Easy-to-Use, One-Touch Smart Keys, QWERTY Keyboard, PC and Mac Connectivity, For Home & Office Organization

good

Received in good condition and on time. Working perfectly

Thanks, excellent

Disappointed - item not working and showing label Jam. Tried watching u-tube fixing options and tried all, still wont work.

I like that it is easy to carry and use, and can print directly from the computer (even from Word and Excel) battery life is good I dislike that Arabic printing can be done from Word and Excel only and need to adjust margins I am using for home and for some hobbies.

The Dymo LabelManager 280 is an outstanding machine. The construction is solid with no flimsy parts that may break with normal use. The screen is large, clear, and easy to read. The buttons around the screen have a nice click to them, and the buttons on the main body are rubber and feel solid. The unit feels good in the hands, and even those with smaller hands should have no trouble typing. The cutter is excellent, the best I've seen on any Dymo. It cuts cleanly and doesn't wast a lot of tape on each end. One or two read-throughs of the manual were all it took to learn the machine. It is well-written and will answer any questions. I found the menus easy to understand and navigate. It is rechargeable and comes with a charging cord. I gave it a full charge when I bought it in August, and here it is December and I've not had to recharge it since. I haven't had a chance to link it to a laptop to use the software, because it does everything I need it to do the way it is. Overall this was an excellent buy and I would recommend it for anyone looking for an inexpensive, well-built label maker that will provide years of use. ***I purchased this item myself and I am in no way affiliated with Dymo or Amazon. This is my honest opinion and no one has asked me to write this review.***

Helpful product

The 280 replaces an earlier Dymo machine and the tags used for electronic labelling are clearer and neater than the earlier style.

It works well. No jams so far. The screen is not backlit but that’s fine. It uses internal rechargeable batteries. The font size goes from 8 to 24. It can print multi-line labels. The manual cutter is sharp. The QWERTY buttons need force to push and the rubber around each key wobbles. Just a minor thing. I wish the keys were pleasing to press like a BlackBerry. The USB connector is ancient, so do not lose the included cable (if you use PC software). The USB connector does not charge the battery. I keep making that mistake. It can only be recharged with the 12v cable. You will lose half an inch on each side of the label to white space. Just cut it with scissors and buy more label spools. There is only “caps lock”, no “shift”, so if the first letter you want uppercase, press the “a -> A” key, then the letter, then that case key again, then the rest of the letters. It can be a tad annoying but I got used to it. I’m not a power labeler, so the default font is fine. Size 20pt is good. 24pt is a bit obnoxious for labeling parts. NOTE: You get the 45013S (10ft) cartridge. You will soon need a refill. Refill carts are 45013 (23ft). I think S means “shorter”. Overall, I’m very happy with this label maker and I use it all the time.
