Dymo Label Maker: Service manuals or information on older Dymo Labelers like 1500 series

Fri, 09 Jan 2026 21:44:19 -0700

I have an older 1500 series labeler - and it makes wonderfully retro labels, but lately it jams and gets stuck so the letters aren't spaced correctly.

This is an older embossing labeler - so I know its a bit odd to ask here :) - its kind of a mechanical marvel - but I'm having the worst time finding any service documentation for them.

Dymo Label Maker: Issue with Dymo 550 Printing from Goodwillshops on Microsoft Edge

Mon, 01 Dec 2025 07:48:55 -0700

My Dymo 550 printer is not printing from Goodwillshops when using Microsoft Edge. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the related applications and restarted the computer. Is there an additional step I might be missing? For example, should the printer be unplugged during the firmware installation and only reconnected after the installation and system restart?

Dymo LabelManager 160: Why are the buttons typing the wrong characters or input?

Thu, 11 Sep 2025 11:26:43 -0700

I have had my Dymo LabelManager 160 for a while. Lately, it has been glitching in which pressing a certain key produces the wrong function. When I press the L key, it activated the rotate function. Also, the punctuation key displays the number 9. Pressing the delete key activated the underline key. Pressing the O key printed the label!

I even tried a factory reset by removing the batteries and pressing and holding the power button for 10 seconds. Then, I reinserted the batteries and pressed power + 9 + backspace. Still did not fix the issue.

I would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you for your help!

Dymo Label Maker: Dymo MobileLabeller chews every cartridge

Thu, 24 Jul 2025 09:43:53 -0700

Today I tried to use my Dymo ML 193C to print with a genuine Dymo nylon cartridge. Instead of the label coming out of the end, it got drawn up into the feeder roller and wound round and round. After multiple retries, repairing the cartridge multiple times and trying another cartridge with the standard tape, I’m finding the same thing happens every time now. I did find a little sticky-backed foam strip, which I guess came off the machine during the first incident, but it’s not clear where it goes or how this could make the difference.

Here’s a picture from immediately after a jam, with the foam strip included above the “D1”.

Dymo Label Maker: Can a Dymo LetraTag LCD be replaced?

Wed, 23 Jul 2025 01:42:08 -0700

Going through my late wife's things, I found a LetraTag label printer. The signage doesn't say which model, but it looks like a LetraTag 80.

I put in batteries and gave it a try, and.. after lord knows how many years, it works perfectly, except for the LCD, which displays only scattered pixels.

I'm afraid I know the answer to this question, but... is there any practical way to replace the LCD? The device would be useful, and I hate to throw it out because just one component is failing.

Brother PT-210: Brother PT-D210 Won’t Turn On After Inserting New Batteries

Sun, 13 Apr 2025 22:25:34 -0700

Hi everyone,

I just got a Brother PT-D210 label maker, and I’m having trouble getting it to work. I installed a fresh set of AA batteries (6 in total), but the machine either won’t turn on at all or only powers on for a second before shutting off.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

Used brand new alkaline batteries (tried different brands too)
Checked the battery compartment for any dirt or corrosion – it looks clean
Made sure all batteries were installed in the correct direction
Pressed and held the power button firmly

I haven’t tried using a power adapter yet since I don’t have the original one. I’m wondering if a 9V 1.6A adapter with center-positive polarity would work as a replacement.

Has anyone had this issue before? Any suggestions or fixes I could try? I’d really appreciate your help!

Thanks in advance!

Brother P-Touch H107: P-Touch H107: not printing, only blank labels coming out

Wed, 04 Dec 2024 07:03:41 -0700

Problem

I have a P-Touch H107 which is mainly similar to the PT-1010.

Product picture:

All of a sudden this P-Touch didn't print any text on the label anymore. It is feeding out the label when I hit the print button, but not printing text on it (see picture below).

What I have tried

Cleaning the print head and rollers > No effect (actually, they didn't look dirty.
Put in 2 different bale-cassettes to try > No difference / No effect.
Changed batteries to new > No effect.

Observation

When looking inside the device, I noticed there is a small block with 4 pins that can be pushed inwards. I believe this is the sensor for detecting the type of label cassette used in the P-Touch. In mine, one of the pins seems to be stuck inside, not coming out. I am not sure of this has to do with my issue, but I take this into account.

Picture of cassette sensor & one pin down:

Questions

What can I do to solve my problem?
If the sensor block is the problem and needs to be replaced, where can I get the part?

Brother PT-D200: My unit wont turn on

Tue, 12 Nov 2024 09:18:22 -0700

I already replaced the ac adapter with a new one and the machine still won't turn on. I don't use the unit with batteries at all as it drains the batteries very quickly.

the screen remains blank. any suggestions?

so i tested it out today with batteries and the unit turned on! Which makes me think something is wrong with the metal prong that attaches to the adapter. I also tested my adapter with my dvd player and it worked. So now I know what the problem is but can this be fixed? It looks fine to me; is not loose or broken.

My dymo label manager is stuck on the screen that you use to change the font and size. I've changed the batteries and tried plugging it in but it wont do anything except switch off and on but it just returns to the same screen. Is the a factory reset I can do?
