Question 1

What does error 4 mean on the DYMO LETRATAG XR label maker and how can I resolve it?

Accepted Answer

Error 4 on your DYMO LETRATAG XR indicates that the buffer is full. Your label maker can store up to 70 characters in total in its buffer, spread over a maximum of 20 labels. Once this limit is reached, you cannot add new text until you free up some space.

To resolve error 4 immediately: Press SHIFT + DEL to access the CLEAR function, which deletes all text stored in the buffer and resets the device. If you only want to partially delete the content, use the Q and R keys to navigate through the buffer, then press DEL to erase character by character.

Important to know: The content of the buffer persists even when you turn off the label maker. If you have created multiple labels and have not printed them, they remain in memory and take up space. To quickly navigate your buffer, use SHIFT + Q to go to the beginning or SHIFT + R to go to the end of the stored text.

To avoid this error in the future: Regularly print your labels or clear the buffer after use by pressing SHIFT + DEL. If you create long labels, keep in mind the limit of 70 characters in total. You can also split your labels using the SHIFT + D function (--ll--) to mark the breaks between labels and better track your memory usage.

Question 3

What does the clock symbol on the DYMO LETRATAG XR mean and how do I use it?

Accepted Answer

The clock symbol on the DYMO LETRATAG XR is a graphic symbol that you can insert into your labels to add a visual representation of time. This symbol does not automatically generate the current date or time, but allows you to display the clock as a simple pictogram on your label.

How to insert the clock symbol:

Press SYMBOL (SHIFT + SPACE key) to access the graphic symbols menu
The screen will display "A-I?" to prompt you to select a symbol category
Press the keys from A to I until you find the category containing the clock symbol
Use the Q or R keys to navigate between the available symbols in that category
Press the validation key (`) to insert the clock symbol into your label

The clock symbol is particularly useful for labels indicating opening hours, service times, or any time-related information associated with your products. You can combine this symbol with text (for example, "Open until 9 PM") to create clear and readable labels. There are 9 symbol categories (A to I), giving you a wide range of icons to enhance your labels beyond just text.

To cancel the insertion of a symbol at any time, press DEL to return to your text editing. This function is essential for improving the visibility of your labels, especially for marking operating hours, time-related information, or temporal visual codes.
