Zebra LP-2824: Printing blank labels in the middle of a print job?

Tue, 31 Oct 2017 17:54:33 -0700

When printing 2x2.25 labels, our printer will randomly spit out blank labels in between printed ones. It's becoming both wasteful and irritating. My theory is that the printer is printing out a morse code message and that it's trying to tell us something. Any ideas?

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.

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.

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!
